ABSTRACT
The recently discovered HAPSTR1 protein broadly oversees cellular stress responses. This function requires HUWE1, a ubiquitin ligase which paradoxically marks HAPSTR1 for degradation, but much about this pathway remains unclear. Here, leveraging multiplexed proteomics, we find that HAPSTR1 enables nuclear localization of HUWE1 with implications for nuclear protein quality control. We show that HAPSTR1 is tightly regulated and identify ubiquitin ligase TRIP12 and deubiquitinase USP7 as upstream regulators titrating HAPSTR1 stability. Finally, we generate conditional Hapstr1 knockout mice, finding that Hapstr1-null mice are perinatal lethal, adult mice depleted of Hapstr1 have reduced fitness, and primary cells explanted from Hapstr1-null animals falter in culture coincident with HUWE1 mislocalization and broadly remodeled signaling. Notably, while HAPSTR1 potently suppresses p53, we find that Hapstr1 is essential for life even in mice lacking p53. Altogether, we identify novel components and functional insights into the conserved HAPSTR1-HUWE1 pathway and demonstrate its requirement for mammalian life.
