To assess the function of ER stress transducer BBF2H7 in vivo, we generated BBF2H7 deficient mice. The mice exhibited severe chondrodysplasia. We identified Sec23a, a coat protein complex II component responsible for protein transport from the ER to the Golgi, as a target of BBF2H7. When Sec23a was introduced to BBF2H7 deficient chondrocytes, the impaired transport and secretion of cartilage matrix proteins were totally restored, indicating that the BBF2H7-Sec23a pathway plays crucial roles in chondrogenesis by the activation of protein secretion.
