Direct visualization of ERAD nanocompartments within the cell


ABSTRACT: ER-associated degradation (ERAD) is an evolutionarily-conserved quality control mechanism where misfolded proteins are removed from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. While many ERAD-mediating proteins have been identified, it is unknown how they are spatially organized within the cell. Using in situ cryo-electron tomography to image the native molecular landscape of Chlamydomonas, we discovered that ERAD proteins are concentrated within ~200 nm cytosolic foci that contact the ER membrane away from the ER-Golgi interface. These ribosome-excluding ERAD nanocompartments consist of a core of clustered proteasomes surrounded by Cdc48. Active proteasomes directly engage with the ER membrane, indicating an additional Cdc48-independent mechanism for extraction of misfolded proteins. Our study reveals that ERAD has precise cellular architecture, which likely enables efficient protein quality control.

To promote the biochemical reactions of life, cells can compartmentalize molecular interaction partners together within separated non-membrane-bound regions. It is unknown whether this strategy is used to facilitate protein degradation at specific locations within the cell. Leveraging in situ cryo-electron tomography to image the native molecular landscape of the unicellular alga <i>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</i>, we discovered that the cytosolic protein degradation machinery is concentrated with  ...[more]
