International audience. ADAM10 is a transmembrane metalloprotease that is essential for development and tissue homeostasis. It cleaves the ectodomain of many proteins, including amyloid precursor protein, and plays an essential role in Notch signaling. ADAM10 associates with six members of the tetraspanin superfamily referred to as TspanC8 (Tspan5, Tspan10, Tspan14, Tspan15, Tspan17, and Tspan33), which regulate its exit from the endoplasmic reticulum and its substrate selectivity. We now show that ADAM10, Tspan5, and Tspan15 influence each other's expression level. Notably, ADAM10 undergoes faster endocytosis in the presence of Tspan5 than in the presence of Tspan15, and Tspan15 stabilizes ADAM10 at the cell surface yielding high expression levels. Reciprocally, ADAM10 stabilizes Tspan15 at the cell surface, indicating that it is the Tspan15/ADAM10 complex that is retained at the plasma membrane. Chimeric molecules indicate that the cytoplasmic domains of these tetraspanins contribute to their opposite action on ADAM10 trafficking and Notch signaling. In contrast, an unusual palmitoylation site at the end of Tspan15 C-terminus is dispensable. Together, these findings uncover a new level of ADAM10 regulation by TspanC8 tetraspanins.
