摘要

Endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERES) are specialized, ribosome-free ER subdomains that serve as dynamic portals for COPII-mediated export of proteins from the ER. Beyond their role in the secretory pathway, ERES are implicated in diverse processes, including autophagy and the maturation of lipid droplets, highlighting their functional plasticity. ERES integrate cargo load, membrane tension and spatial cues to remodel their architecture and function in real time. This Roadmap synthesizes our current knowledge on the biogenesis, structural diversity and regulatory logic of ERES. We highlight key unanswered questions in the field, particularly concerning how ERES integrate signals to coordinate protein trafficking under varying cellular states. Finally, we propose a multidisciplinary framework — leveraging advances in high-resolution imaging, synthetic reconstitution and computational modelling — to delineate the principles governing the function and plasticity of ERES. Understanding these mechanisms holds significant potential for developing targeted therapeutic strategies in diseases linked to trafficking dysfunction.
