A Ubc7p-binding domain in Cue1p activates ER-associated protein degradation.

ABSTRACT: Cue1p is an N-terminally anchored endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein essential for the activity of the two major yeast RING finger ubiquitin ligases (E3s) implicated in ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Cue1p contains a CUE domain, which for several proteins is known to bind ubiquitin. We now establish that the CUE domain is dispensable for ERAD of substrates of both Hrd1p and Doa10p and that the Cue1p transmembrane domain is similarly not required for degradation of the Hrd1p substrate CPY. Cue1p interacts with the ERAD E2 Ubc7p in vivo. We show that a discrete C-terminal Ubc7p binding region (U7BR) of Cue1p is required for ERAD and for Ubc7p-dependent ubiquitylation by Hrd1p in vitro. Strikingly, when Ubc7p is stabilized by direct anchoring to the ER membrane, the U7BR is sufficient to restore ERAD in cells lacking Cue1p. Thus, discrete E2 binding sites independent of ubiquitin ligase domains have the potential to activate ubiquitylation.

A novel ER alpha-mannosidase-like protein accelerates ER-associated degradation.

Project description:The quality control mechanism in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) discriminates correctly folded proteins from misfolded polypeptides and determines their fate. Terminally misfolded proteins are retrotranslocated from the ER and degraded by cytoplasmic proteasomes, a mechanism known as ER-associated degradation (ERAD). We report the cDNA cloning of Edem, a mouse gene encoding a putative type II ER transmembrane protein. Expression of Edem mRNA was induced by various types of ER stress. Although the luminal region of ER degradation enhancing alpha-mannosidase-like protein (EDEM) is similar to class I alpha1,2-mannosidases involved in N-glycan processing, EDEM did not have enzymatic activity. Overexpression of EDEM in human embryonic kidney 293 cells accelerated the degradation of misfolded alpha1-antitrypsin, and EDEM bound to this misfolded glycoprotein. The results suggest that EDEM is directly involved in ERAD, and targets misfolded glycoproteins for degradation in an N-glycan dependent manner.

Doa10 is a membrane protein retrotranslocase in ER-associated protein degradation.

Project description:In endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation (ERAD), membrane proteins are ubiquitinated, extracted from the membrane, and degraded by the proteasome. The cytosolic ATPase Cdc48 drives extraction by pulling on polyubiquitinated substrates. How hydrophobic transmembrane (TM) segments are moved from the phospholipid bilayer into cytosol, often together with hydrophilic and folded ER luminal protein parts, is not known. Using a reconstituted system with purified proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we show that the ubiquitin ligase Doa10 (Teb-4/MARCH6 in animals) is a retrotranslocase that facilitates membrane protein extraction. A substrate's TM segment interacts with the membrane-embedded domain of Doa10 and then passively moves into the aqueous phase. Luminal substrate segments cross the membrane in an unfolded state. Their unfolding occurs on the luminal side of the membrane by cytoplasmic Cdc48 action. Our results reveal how a membrane-bound retrotranslocase cooperates with the Cdc48 ATPase in membrane protein extraction.

SM-protein-controlled ER-associated degradation discriminates between different SNAREs.

Project description:Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) is a specialized activity of the ubiquitin-proteasome system that is involved in clearing the ER of aberrant proteins and regulating the levels of specific ER-resident proteins. Here we show that the yeast ER-SNARE Ufe1, a syntaxin (Qa-SNARE) involved in ER membrane fusion and retrograde transport from the Golgi to the ER, is prone to degradation by an ERAD-like mechanism. Notably, Ufe1 is protected against degradation through binding to Sly1, a known SNARE regulator of the Sec1-Munc18 (SM) protein family. This mechanism is specific for Ufe1, as the stability of another Sly1 partner, the Golgi Qa-SNARE Sed5, is not influenced by Sly1 interaction. Thus, our findings identify Sly1 as a discriminating regulator of SNARE levels and indicate that Sly1-controlled ERAD might regulate the balance between different Qa-SNARE proteins.

Uncoupling retro-translocation and degradation in the ER-associated degradation of a soluble protein.

Project description:Aberrant polypeptides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are retro-translocated to the cytoplasm and degraded by the 26S proteasome via ER-associated degradation (ERAD). To begin to resolve the requirements for the retro-translocation and degradation steps during ERAD, a cell-free assay was used to investigate the contributions of specific factors in the yeast cytosol and in ER-derived microsomes during the ERAD of a model, soluble polypeptide. As ERAD was unaffected when cytoplasmic chaperone activity was compromised, we asked whether proteasomes on their own supported both export and degradation in this system. Proficient ERAD was observed if wild-type cytosol was substituted with either purified yeast or mammalian proteasomes. Moreover, addition of only the 19S cap of the proteasome catalyzed ATP-dependent export of the polypeptide substrate, which was degraded upon subsequent addition of the 20S particle.

Dissecting the ER-associated degradation of a misfolded polytopic membrane protein.

Project description:It remains unclear how misfolded membrane proteins are selected and destroyed during endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). For example, chaperones are thought to solubilize aggregation-prone motifs, and some data suggest that these proteins are degraded at the ER. To better define how membrane proteins are destroyed, the ERAD of Ste6p(*), a 12 transmembrane protein, was reconstituted. We found that specific Hsp70/40s act before ubiquitination and facilitate Ste6p(*) association with an E3 ubiquitin ligase, suggesting an active role for chaperones. Furthermore, polyubiquitination was a prerequisite for retrotranslocation, which required the Cdc48 complex and ATP. Surprisingly, the substrate was soluble, and extraction was independent of a ubiquitin chain extension enzyme (Ufd2p). However, Ufd2p increased the degree of ubiquitination and facilitated degradation. These data indicate that polytopic membrane proteins can be extracted from the ER, and define the point of action of chaperones and the requirement for Ufd2p during membrane protein quality control.

The ER-Associated Degradation Adapter Protein Sel1L Regulates Triglyceride Metabolism via Lipoprotein Lipase

Project description:Sel1L is an adaptor protein for the E3 ligase Hrd1 in the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD), but its physiological role in a cell-type-specific manner remains unclear. Here we show that mice with adipocyte-specific Sel1L deficiency are resistant to diet-induced obesity and exhibit postprandial hypertriglyceridemia. Mechanistically, our data demonstrate a critical requirement of Sel1L for the secretion of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), independently of its role in Hrd1-mediated ERAD and ER homeostasis. Further biochemical analyses revealed that Sel1L physically interacts and stabilizes the LPL maturation complex consisted of LPL and lipase-maturation factor 1 (LMF1). In the absence of Sel1L, LPL is retained in the ER and prone to the formation of protein aggregates, which are degraded by autophagy-mediated degradation. The Sel1L-mediated control of LPL secretion is seen in other LPL-expressing cell types as well such as cardiac muscle and macrophages. Thus, our study reports a novel role of Sel1L in LPL secretion and systemic lipid metabolism. Sel1Lflox/flox mice were crossed with adiponectin promoter driven Cre mice to create adipose tissue-specific Sel1L-/- mice. Male wildtype C57Bl/6 mice and adipose tissue-specific Sel1l-/- mice were fed a high fat diet (Research Diets D12492) for 5 weeks. Adipose tissue was excised and used for microarray analysis.

p97 functions as an auxiliary factor to facilitate TM domain extraction during CFTR ER-associated degradation.

Project description:The AAA-ATPase (ATPase associated with various cellular activities) p97 has been implicated in the degradation of misfolded and unassembled proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ERAD). To better understand its role in this process, we used a reconstituted cell-free system to define the precise contribution of p97 in degrading immature forms of the polytopic, multi-domain protein CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator). Although p97 augmented both the rate and the extent of CFTR degradation, it was not obligatorily required for ERAD. Only a 50% decrease in degradation was observed in the complete absence of p97. Moreover, p97 specifically stimulated the degradation of CFTR transmembrane (TM) domains but had no effect on isolated cytosolic domains. Consistent with this, p97-mediated extraction of intact TM domains was independent of proteolytic cleavage and influenced by TM segment hydrophobicity, indicating that the relative contribution of p97 is partially determined by substrate stability. Thus, we propose that p97 functions in ERAD as a nonessential but important ancillary component to the proteasome where it facilitates substrate presentation and increases the degradation rate and efficiency of stable (TM) domains.

ERdj4 protein is a soluble endoplasmic reticulum (ER) DnaJ family protein that interacts with ER-associated degradation machinery.

Project description:Protein localization within cells regulates accessibility for interactions with co-factors and substrates. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) BiP co-factor ERdj4 is up-regulated by ER stress and has been implicated in ER-associated degradation (ERAD) of multiple unfolded secretory proteins. Several other ERdj family members tend to interact selectively with nascent proteins, presumably because those ERdj proteins associate with the Sec61 translocon that facilitates entry of nascent proteins into the ER. How ERdj4 selects and targets terminally misfolded proteins for destruction remains poorly understood. In this study, we determined properties of ERdj4 that might aid in this function. ERdj4 was reported to retain its signal sequence and to be resistant to mild detergent extraction, suggesting that it was an integral membrane protein. However, live cell photobleaching analyses of GFP-tagged ERdj4 revealed that the protein exhibits diffusion coefficients uncommonly high for an ER integral membrane protein and more similar to the mobility of a soluble luminal protein. Biochemical characterization established that the ERdj4 signal sequence is cleaved to yield a soluble protein. Importantly, we found that both endogenous and overexpressed ERdj4 associate with the integral membrane protein, Derlin-1. Our findings now directly link ERdj4 to the ERAD machinery and suggest a model in which ERjd4 could help recruit clients from throughout the ER to ERAD sites.

The ER-associated degradation adaptor protein Sel1L regulates LPL secretion and lipid metabolism.

Project description:Sel1L is an essential adaptor protein for the E3 ligase Hrd1 in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD), a universal quality-control system in the cell; but its physiological role remains unclear. Here we show that mice with adipocyte-specific Sel1L deficiency are resistant to diet-induced obesity and exhibit postprandial hypertriglyceridemia. Further analyses reveal that Sel1L is indispensable for the secretion of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), independent of its role in Hrd1-mediated ERAD and ER homeostasis. Sel1L physically interacts with and stabilizes the LPL maturation complex consisting of LPL and lipase maturation factor 1 (LMF1). In the absence of Sel1L, LPL is retained in the ER and forms protein aggregates, which are degraded primarily by autophagy. The Sel1L-mediated control of LPL secretion is also seen in other LPL-expressing cell types including cardiac myocytes and macrophages. Thus, our study reports a role of Sel1L in LPL secretion and systemic lipid metabolism.

Structural Details of Ufd1 Binding to p97 and Their Functional Implications in ER-Associated Degradation.

Project description:The hexameric ATPase p97 has been implicated in diverse cellular processes through interactions with many different adaptor proteins at its N-terminal domain. Among these, the Ufd1-Npl4 heterodimer is a major adaptor, and the p97-Ufd1-Npl4 complex plays an essential role in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD), acting as a segregase that translocates the ubiquitinated client protein from the ER membrane into the cytosol for proteasomal degradation. We determined the crystal structure of the complex of the N-terminal domain of p97 and the SHP box of Ufd1 at a resolution of 1.55 Å. The 11-residue-long SHP box of Ufd1 binds at the far-most side of the Nc lobe of the p97 N domain primarily through hydrophobic interactions, such that F225, F228, N233 and L235 of the SHP box contact hydrophobic residues on the surface of the p97 Nc lobe. Mutating these key interface residues abolished the interactions in two different binding experiments, isothermal titration calorimetry and co-immunoprecipitation. Furthermore, cycloheximide chase assays showed that these same mutations caused accumulation of tyrosinase-C89R, a well-known ERAD substrate, thus implying decreased rate of protein degradation due to their defects in ERAD function. Together, these results provide structural and biochemical insights into the interaction between p97 N domain and Ufd1 SHP box.
