Proteasome regulation by ADP-ribosylation.

ABSTRACT: Protein degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system is central to cell homeostasis and survival. Defects in this process are associated with diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The 26S proteasome is a large protease complex that degrades ubiquitinated proteins. Here, we show that ADP-ribosylation promotes 26S proteasome activity in both Drosophila and human cells. We identify the ADP-ribosyltransferase tankyrase (TNKS) and the 19S assembly chaperones dp27 and dS5b as direct binding partners of the proteasome regulator PI31. TNKS-mediated ADP-ribosylation of PI31 drastically reduces its affinity for 20S proteasome α subunits to relieve 20S repression by PI31. Additionally, PI31 modification increases binding to and sequestration of dp27 and dS5b from 19S regulatory p
