Abstract
Uncontrolled secretion of ECM proteins, such as collagen, can lead to excessive scarring and fibrosis and compromise tissue function. Despite the widespread occurrence of fibrotic diseases and scarring, effective therapies are lacking. A promising approach would be to limit the amount of collagen released from hyperactive fibroblasts. We have designed membrane permeant peptide inhibitors that specifically target the primary interface between TANGO1 and cTAGE5, an interaction that is required for collagen export from endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERES). Application of the peptide inhibitors leads to reduced TANGO1 and cTAGE5 protein levels and a corresponding inhibition in the secretion of several ECM components, including collagens. Peptide inhibitor treatment in zebrafish results in altered tissue architecture and reduced granulation tissue formation during cutaneous wound healing. The inhibitors reduce secretion of several ECM proteins, including collagens, fibrillin and fibronectin in human dermal fibroblasts and in cells obtained from patients with a generalized fibrotic disease (scleroderma). Taken together, targeted interference of the TANGO1-cTAGE5 binding interface could enable therapeutic modulation of ERES function in ECM hypersecretion, during wound healing and fibrotic processes.

Abstract
Polyamines are essential biogenic poly-cations with important roles in many cellular processes and diseases such as cancer. A rate-limiting step early in the biosynthesis of polyamines is the conversion of ornithine to putrescine by the homodimeric enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). In a conserved mechanism of posttranslational regulation, ODC antizyme (OAZ) binds to ODC monomers promoting their ubiquitin-independent degradation by the proteasome. Decoding of OAZ mRNA is unusual in that it involves polyamine-regulated bypassing of an internal translation termination (STOP) codon by a ribosomal frameshift (RFS) event. Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we earlier showed that high polyamine concentrations lead to increased efficiency of OAZ1 mRNA translation by binding to nascent Oaz1 polypeptide. The binding of polyamines prevents stalling of the ribosomes on OAZ1 mRNA caused by nascent Oaz1 polypeptide thereby promoting synthesis of full-length Oaz1. Polyamine depletion, however, also inhibits RFS during the decoding of constructs bearing the OAZ1 shift site lacking sequences encoding the Oaz1 parts implicated in polyamine binding. Polyamine depletion is known to impair hypusine modification of translation factor eIF5A. Using a novel set of conditional mutants impaired in the function of eIF5A/Hyp2 or its hypusination, we show here that hypusinated eIF5A is required for efficient translation across the OAZ1 RFS site. These findings identify eIF5A as a part of Oaz1 regulation, and thereby of polyamine synthesis. Additional experiments with DFMO, however, show that depletion of polyamines inhibits translation across the OAZ1 RFS site not only by reducing Hyp2 hypusination, but in addition, and even earlier, by affecting RFS more directly.
