Rheumatoid arthritis as a hyper-endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation disease.

ABSTRACT: We introduce Synoviolin as a novel pathogenic factor in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Experimental studies indicate that this endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident E3 ubiquitin ligase has important functions in the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) system, an essential system for ER homeostasis. Overexpression of Synoviolin in mice causes arthropathy with synovial hyperplasia, whereas heterozygous knockdown results in increased apoptosis of synovial cells and resistance to collagen-induced arthritis in mice. On the basis of these experimental data, we propose that excess elimination of unfolded proteins (that is, 'hyper-ERAD') by overexpression of Synoviolin triggers synovial cell overgrowth and hence a worsening of RA. Further analysis of the hyper-ERAD system may permit the complex pathomechanisms of RA to be uncovered.

IRE1alpha is an endogenous substrate of endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation

Project description:Endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) represents a principle quality control (QC) mechanism to clear misfolded proteins in the ER; however, its physiological significance and the nature of endogenous ERAD substrates remain largely unknown. Here we discover that IRE1alpha, the sensor of unfolded protein response (UPR), is a bona fide substrate of the Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD complex. Mechanistically, ERAD-mediated IRE1alpha degradation occurs in a Bip-dependent manner under basal conditions and is attenuated in response to ER stress. Both intramembrane hydrophilic residues of IRE1alpha and lectin protein OS9 are required for IRE1alpha degradation. ERAD deficiency causes IRE1alpha protein stabilization, accumulation and mild activation both in vitro and in vivo, leading to cellular hypersensitivity to ER stress and inflammation. Furthermore, though enterocyte-specific Sel1L-knockout mice (Sel1LÎ?IEC) are viable and appear normal, they are more susceptible to experimental colitis in an IRE1alpha-dependent but CHOP-independent manner. Collectively, these results demonstrate that Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD serves a distinct, essential function in restraint of IRE1alpha signaling in vivo by managing its protein turnover. Colon epithelium of wild type and enterocyte-specific Sel1L knockout mice were subjected to gene expression analysis.

TorsinA participates in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation.

Project description:TorsinA is an AAA+ ATPase located within the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope, with a mutant form causing early onset torsion dystonia (DYT1). Here we report a new function for torsinA in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). Retro-translocation and proteosomal degradation of a mutant cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTRΔF508) was inhibited by downregulation of torsinA or overexpression of mutant torsinA, and facilitated by increased torsinA. Retro-translocation of cholera toxin was also decreased by downregulation of torsinA. TorsinA associates with proteins implicated in ERAD, including Derlin-1, VIMP and p97. Further, torsinA reduces endoplasmic reticulum stress in nematodes overexpressing CFTRΔF508, and fibroblasts from DYT1 dystonia patients are more sensitive than controls to endoplasmic reticulum stress and less able to degrade mutant CFTR. Therefore, compromised ERAD function in the cells of DYT1 patients may increase sensitivity to endoplasmic reticulum stress with consequent alterations in neuronal function contributing to the disease state.

Sel1L is indispensable for mammalian endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation, endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis, and survival.

Project description:Suppressor/Enhancer of Lin-12-like (Sel1L) is an adaptor protein for the E3 ligase hydroxymethylglutaryl reductase degradation protein 1 (Hrd1) involved in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). Sel1L's physiological importance in mammalian ERAD, however, remains to be established. Here, using the inducible Sel1L knockout mouse and cell models, we show that Sel1L is indispensable for Hrd1 stability, ER homeostasis, and survival. Acute loss of Sel1L leads to premature death in adult mice within 3 wk with profound pancreatic atrophy. Contrary to current belief, our data show that mammalian Sel1L is required for Hrd1 stability and ERAD function both in vitro and in vivo. Sel1L deficiency disturbs ER homeostasis, activates ER stress, attenuates translation, and promotes cell death. Serendipitously, using a biochemical approach coupled with mass spectrometry, we found that Sel1L deficiency causes the aggregation of both small and large ribosomal subunits. Thus, Sel1L is an indispensable component of the mammalian Hrd1 ERAD complex and ER homeostasis, which is essential for protein translation, pancreatic function, and cellular and organismal survival.

Hsp104 facilitates the endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation of disease-associated and aggregation-prone substrates.

Project description:Misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are selected for ER-associated degradation (ERAD). More than 60 disease-associated proteins are substrates for the ERAD pathway due to the presence of missense or nonsense mutations. In yeast, the Hsp104 molecular chaperone disaggregates detergent-insoluble ERAD substrates, but the spectrum of disease-associated ERAD substrates that may be aggregation prone is unknown. To determine if Hsp104 recognizes aggregation-prone ERAD substrates associated with human diseases, we developed yeast expression systems for a hydrophobic lipid-binding protein, apolipoprotein B (ApoB), along with a chimeric protein harboring a nucleotide-binding domain from the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) into which disease-causing mutations were introduced. We discovered that Hsp104 facilitates the degradation of ER-associated ApoB as well as a truncated CFTR chimera in which a premature stop codon corresponds to a disease-causing mutation. Chimeras containing a wild-type version of the CFTR domain or a different mutation were stable and thus Hsp104 independent. We also discovered that the detergent solubility of the unstable chimera was lower than the stable chimeras, and Hsp104 helped retrotranslocate the unstable chimera from the ER, consistent with disaggregase activity. To determine why the truncated chimera was unstable, we next performed molecular dynamics simulations and noted significant unraveling of the CFTR nucleotide-binding domain. Because human cells lack Hsp104, these data indicate that an alternate disaggregase or mechanism facilitates the removal of aggregation-prone, disease-causing ERAD substrates in their native environments.

A luminal flavoprotein in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation.

Project description:The quality control system of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) discriminates between native and nonnative proteins. The latter are degraded by the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. Whereas many cytosolic and membrane components of this system are known, only few luminal players have been identified. In this study, we characterize ERFAD (ER flavoprotein associated with degradation), an ER luminal flavoprotein that functions in ERAD. Upon knockdown of ERFAD, the degradation of the ERAD model substrate ribophorin 332 is delayed, and the overall level of polyubiquitinated cellular proteins is decreased. We also identify the ERAD components SEL1L, OS-9 and ERdj5, a known reductase of ERAD substrates, as interaction partners of ERFAD. Our data show that ERFAD facilitates the dislocation of certain ERAD substrates to the cytosol, and we discuss the findings in relation to a potential redox function of the protein.

Notch-Induced Endoplasmic Reticulum-Associated Degradation Governs Thymocyte β Selection

Project description:β -selection imposes a considerable demand for new protein synthesis of the newly rearranged Tcrβ gene and the multiple factors that execute the transcriptional and metabolic programs demanded by DN thymocyte proliferation. However, how proteome homeostasis or “proteostasis” is regulated during thymocyte development is largely unknown. Here, we show that the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)- associated degradation (ERAD), but not the unfolded protein response (UPR), is the master regulator of physiological ER proteostasis in immature DN thymocytes. The ERAD machinery was critically required for successful β-selection of DN3 thymocytes and consequently, ERAD deficiency impeded αβ T cell development. The Sel1L-Hrd1 complex is the most conserved branch of mammalian ERAD machinery. Deletion of Sel1l impaired DN3 to DN4 thymocyte transition and severely impaired αβ T cell development. Mechanistically, Sel1l deficiency induced unresolved ER stress that triggered thymocyte apoptosis through the PERK pathway. This study revealed the stringent protein quality control through the SEL1L-ERAD pathway is required for successful b-selection and the development of the ab T cells that mediate adaptive immunity.

Tunicamycin-induced Endoplasmic Reticulum-Quality Control Pathway and Endoplasmic Reticulum-Associated Degradation Mechanism in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Project description:Tunicamycin inhibits the first step of protein N-glycosylation modification. However, the physiological, transcriptomic, and N-glycomic effects of tunicamycin on important marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum are still unknown. In this study, comprehensive approaches were used to study the effects. The results showed that cell growth and photosynthesis were significantly inhibited in P. tricornutum under the tunicamycin stress. The soluble protein content was significantly decreased, while the soluble sugar and neutral lipid were dramatically increased to orchestrate the balance of carbon and nitrogen metabolism. 0.3 μg m-1 tunicamycin could not complete inhibited the N-glycosylation of protein, but it resulted in the differentially expression of ERQC and ERAD related genes. The upregulation of genes involved in ERQC and the activation of anti-oxidases were speculated to alleviate the tunicamycin stress. The differentially expression of genes related to ERAD was suggested to degrade the unfolded and/or incorrect N-glycoproteins induced by tunicamycin. The identification of mannose-type and complex-type N-glycan structures enriched the N-glycan database of diatom P. tricornutum and provided important information for studying the function of N-glycosylation modification on proteins. All in all, the proposed working models of ERQC and ERAD will provide a solid foundation for further in-depth study the related mechanism and the diatom expression system.

Substrate Insolubility Dictates Hsp104-Dependent Endoplasmic-Reticulum-Associated Degradation.

Project description:Misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are destroyed by ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Although the retrotranslocation of misfolded proteins from the ER has been reconstituted, how a polypeptide is initially selected for ERAD remains poorly defined. To address this question while controlling for the diverse nature of ERAD substrates, we constructed a series of truncations in a single ER-tethered domain. We observed that the truncated proteins exhibited variable degradation rates and discovered a positive correlation between ERAD substrate instability and detergent insolubility, which demonstrates that aggregation-prone species can be selected for ERAD. Further, Hsp104 facilitated degradation of an insoluble species, consistent with the chaperone's disaggregase activity. We also show that retrotranslocation of the ubiquitinated substrate from the ER was inhibited in the absence of Hsp104. Therefore, chaperone-mediated selection frees the ER membrane of potentially toxic, aggregation-prone species.

Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 2 regulates CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells pyroptosis in rheumatoid arthritis.

Project description:ObjectiveRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive autoimmune disease with a complex pathogenesis that has not yet been fully elucidated, and T-cell pyroptosis is an important pathogenetic factor in RA. This study aimed to investigate the role of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 2 (ERAP2) in the pyroptosis of CD4+ T cells in RA and the specific molecular mechanism.MethodsPeripheral venous blood was collected from human subjects, and CD4+ T cells were isolated and activated to measure the level of pyroptosis and ERAP2 expression. Pyroptosis levels were assessed using immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, and Western blotting. Changes in pyroptosis levels were observed upon knockdown or overexpression of ERAP2. To detect activated Caspase-1 in tissues, chimeric mice were engrafted with human synovial tissue and reconstituted with human CD4+ T cells. CD4 + T cells were treated with GLI1 antagonists and SMO receptor agonists to detect changes in pyroptosis levels.ResultsCD4+ T cell levels undergoing pyroptosis were found to be elevated in the blood and synovium of RA patients. The gene and protein expression of ERAP2 were significantly higher in CD4+ T cells from RA patients. Deletion of ERAP2 suppressed pyroptosis of these cells, attenuated the activation of Caspase-1 in tissue T cells, and reduced tissue inflammatory responses. Reciprocally, overexpression of ERAP2 triggered inflammasome assembly, activated Caspase-1, and induced pyroptosis in CD4+ T cells. Mechanistically, ERAP2 inhibits the Hedgehog signaling pathway and upregulates the expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization segment-like receptor family 3(NLRP3), cleaved Caspase-1, and Gasdermin D to promote pyroptosis in CD4+ T cells.ConclusionsTaken together, our results identify a novel mechanism by which ERAP2 regulates RA development and document the effect of the ERAP2/Hedgehog signaling axis on pyroptosis of CD4+ T cells from RA patients.
