The sarco-endoplasmic reticulum (SR/ER) plays an important role in the development and progression of many heart diseases. However, many aspects of its structural organization remain largely unknown, particularly in cells with a highly differentiated SR/ER network. Here, we report a cardiac enriched, SR/ER membrane protein, REEP5 that is centrally involved in regulating SR/ER organization and cellular stress responses in cardiac myocytes. In vitro REEP5 depletion in mouse cardiac myocytes results in SR/ER membrane destabilization and luminal vacuolization along with decreased myocyte contractility and disrupted Ca2+ cycling. Further, in vivo CRISPR/Cas9-mediated REEP5 loss-of-function zebrafish mutants show sensitized cardiac dysfunction upon short-term verapamil treatment. Additionally, in vivo adeno-associated viral (AAV9)-induced REEP5 depletion in the mouse demonstrates cardiac dysfunction. These results demonstrate the critical role of REEP5 in SR/ER organization and function as well as normal heart function and development. The sarcoplasmic (SR) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are involved in heart development but how this arises is unclear. Here, the authors show that loss of a SR/ER protein REEP5 causes membrane destabilization and decreased cardiac myocyte contractility, with cardiac dysfunction in mutant mouse and zebrafish models.
