The eukaryotic cytosolic chaperonin CCT is an essential ATP-dependent protein folding machine whose action is required for folding the cytoskeletal proteins actin and tubulin, and a small number of other substrates, including members of the WD40-propellor repeat-containing protein family. An efficient purification protocol for CCT from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been developed. It uses the calmodulin binding peptide as an affinity tag in an internal loop in the apical domain of the CCT3 subunit, which is predicted to be located on the outside of the double-ring assembly. This purified yeast CCT was used for a novel quantitative actin-folding assay with human beta-actin or yeast ACT1p protein folding intermediates, Ac(I), pre-synthesised in an Escherichia coli translation system. The formation of native actin follows approximately a first-order reaction with a rate constant of about 0.03 min(-1). Yeast CCT catalyses the folding of yeast ACT1p and human beta-actin with nearly identical rate constants and yields. The results from this controlled CCT-actin folding assay are consistent with a model where CCT and Ac(I) are in a binding pre-equilibrium with a rate-limiting binding step, followed by a faster ATP-driven processing to native actin. In this pure in vitro system, the human beta-actin mutants, D244S and G150P, show impaired folding behaviour in the manner predicted by our sequence-specific recognition model for CCT-actin interaction. 相似文献

In this article we describe the role of molecular chaperones and cellular proteases in the cytosolic protein quality control system that controls and regulates in all living organisms folding status of proteins and their proper function. Thanks to cooperative action of molecular chaperones and proteases the acumulation of misfolded proteins in the cytosol is limited. In particular, the links between chaperones to protein degradation and the role of molecular chaperones in the biology of neurodegnerative diseases are discussed. 相似文献

Cystic fibrosis is the most widespread hereditary disease among the white population caused by different mutations of the apical membrane ATP-binding cassette transporter cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Its most common mutation, DeltaF508, leads to nearly complete degradation via endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). Elucidation of the quality control and degradation mechanisms might give rise to new therapeutic approaches to cure this disease. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a variety of components of the protein quality control and degradation system have been identified. Nearly all of these components share homology with mammalian counterparts. We therefore used yeast mutants defective in the ERAD system to identify new components that are involved in human CFTR quality control and degradation. We show the role of the lectin Htm1p in the degradation process of CFTR. Complementation of the HTM1 deficiency in yeast cells by the mammalian orthologue EDEM underlines the necessity of this lectin for CFTR degradation and highlights the similarity of quality control and ERAD in yeast and mammals. Furthermore, degradation of CFTR requires the ubiquitin protein ligases Der3p/Hrd1p and Doa10p as well as the cytosolic trimeric Cdc48p-Ufd1p-Npl4p complex. These proteins also were found to be necessary for ERAD of a mutated yeast "relative" of CFTR, Pdr5(*)p. 相似文献

Quality control systems facilitate polypeptide folding and degradation to maintain protein homeostasis. Molecular chaperones promote folding, whereas the ubiquitin/proteasome system mediates degradation. We show here that Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ubr1 and Ubr2 ubiquitin ligases promote degradation of unfolded or misfolded cytosolic polypeptides. Ubr1 also catalyzes ubiquitinylation of denatured but not native luciferase in a purified system. This activity is based on the direct interaction of denatured luciferase with Ubr1, although Hsp70 stimulates polyubiquitinylation of the denatured substrate. We also report that loss of Ubr1 and Ubr2 function suppressed the growth arrest phenotype resulting from chaperone mutation. This correlates with increased protein kinase maturation and indicates partitioning of foldable conformers toward the proteasome. Our findings, based on the efficiency of this quality control system, suggest that the cell trades growth potential to avert the potential toxicity associated with accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins. Ubr1 and Ubr2 therefore represent E3 components of a novel quality control pathway for proteins synthesized on cytosolic ribosomes. 相似文献

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation (ERAD) is a quality control system that removes misfolded proteins from the ER. ERAD substrates are channelled from the ER via a proteinacious pore to the cytosolic ubiquitin-proteasome system - a process involving dedicated ubiquitin ligases and the chaperone-like AAA ATPase Cdc48 (also known as p97). How the activities of these proteins are coupled remains unclear. Here we show that the UBX domain protein Ubx2 is an integral ER membrane protein that recruits Cdc48 to the ER. Moreover, Ubx2 mediates binding of Cdc48 to the ubiquitin ligases Hrd1 and Doa10, and to ERAD substrates. In addition, Ubx2 and Cdc48 interact with Der1 and Dfm1, yeast homologues of the putative dislocation pore protein Derlin-1 (refs 11-13). Lack of Ubx2 causes defects in ERAD that are exacerbated under stress conditions. These findings are consistent with a model in which Ubx2 coordinates the assembly of a highly efficient ERAD machinery at the ER membrane. 相似文献

The Hsp70 family of molecular chaperones participates in vital cellular processes including the heat shock response and protein homeostasis. E. coli''s Hsp70, known as DnaK, works in concert with the DnaJ and GrpE co-chaperones (K/J/E chaperone system), and mediates cotranslational and post-translational protein folding in the cytoplasm. While the role of the K/J/E chaperones is well understood in the presence of large substrates unable to fold independently, it is not known if and how K/J/E modulates the folding of smaller proteins able to fold even in the absence of chaperones. Here, we combine experiments and computation to evaluate the significance of kinetic partitioning as a model to describe the interplay between protein folding and binding to the K/J/E chaperone system. First, we target three nonobligatory substrates, that is, proteins that do not require chaperones to fold. The experimentally observed chaperone association of these client proteins during folding is entirely consistent with predictions from kinetic partitioning. Next, we develop and validate a computational model (CHAMP70) that assumes kinetic partitioning of substrates between folding and interaction with K/J/E. CHAMP70 quantitatively predicts the experimentally measured interaction of RNase HD as it refolds in the presence of various chaperones. CHAMP70 shows that substrates are posed to interact with K/J/E only if they are slow-folding proteins with a folding rate constant kf <50 s−1, and/or thermodynamically unstable proteins with a folding free energy ΔG0UN ≥−2 kcal mol−1. Hence, the K/J/E system is tuned to use specific protein folding rates and thermodynamic stabilities as substrate selection criteria. 相似文献

In Escherichia coli, the cytosolic chaperone SecB is responsible for the selective entry of a subset of precursor proteins into the Sec pathway. In vitro, SecB binds to a variety of unfolded substrates without apparent sequence specificity, but not native proteins. Selectivity has therefore been suggested to occur by kinetic partitioning of substrates between protein folding and SecB association. Evidence for kinetic partitioning is based on earlier observations that SecB blocks the refolding of the precursor form of maltose-binding protein (preMBP)5 and slow-folding maltose-binding protein (MBP) mutants, but not faster-folding mature wild-type MBP. In order to quantitatively validate the kinetic partitioning model, we have independently measured each of the rate constants involved in the interaction of SecB with refolding preMBP (a physiological substrate of SecB) and mature MBP. The measured rate constants correctly predict substrate folding kinetics over a wide range of SecB, MBP, and preMBP concentrations. Analysis of the data reveals that, for many substrates, kinetic partitioning is unlikely to be responsible for SecB-mediated protein export. Instead, the ability of SecB-bound substrates to continue folding while bound to SecB and their ability to interact with other components of the secretory machinery such as SecA may be key opposing determinants that inhibit and promote protein export, respectively. 相似文献

Acute stress causes a rapid redistribution of protein quality control components and aggregation-prone proteins to diverse subcellular compartments. How these remarkable changes come about is not well understood. Using a phenotypic reporter for a synthetic yeast prion, we identified two protein-sorting factors of the Hook family, termed Btn2 and Cur1, as key regulators of spatial protein quality control in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Btn2 and Cur1 are undetectable under normal growth conditions but accumulate in stressed cells due to increased gene expression and reduced proteasomal turnover. Newly synthesized Btn2 can associate with the small heat shock protein Hsp42 to promote the sorting of misfolded proteins to a peripheral protein deposition site. Alternatively, Btn2 can bind to the chaperone Sis1 to facilitate the targeting of misfolded proteins to a juxtanuclear compartment. Protein redistribution by Btn2 is accompanied by a gradual depletion of Sis1 from the cytosol, which is mediated by the sorting factor Cur1. On the basis of these findings, we propose a dynamic model that explains the subcellular distribution of misfolded proteins as a function of the cytosolic concentrations of molecular chaperones and protein-sorting factors. Our model suggests that protein aggregation is not a haphazard process but rather an orchestrated cellular response that adjusts the flux of misfolded proteins to the capacities of the protein quality control system. 相似文献

Failure to eliminate abnormal proteins in the cell is associated with numerous aggregation diseases. Misfolded proteins are normally detected by protein quality control and either refolded or eliminated. The ubiquitin-proteasome system is a major pathway that degrades these unwanted proteins. Ubiquitin ligases are central to these degradation pathways as they recognize aberrant proteins and covalently attach a polyubiquitin chain to target them to the proteasome. We discovered that the Hul5 ubiquitin ligase is a major player in a novel protein quality control pathway that targets cytosolic misfolded proteins. Hul5 is required for the maintenance of cell fitness and the increased ubiquitination of low solubility proteins after heat-shock in yeast cells. We identified several low-solubility substrates of Hul5, including the prion-like protein Pin3. It is now apparent that in the cytoplasm, misfolded proteins can be targeted by multiple degradation pathways. In this review, we discuss how the Hul5 protein quality control pathway may specifically target low solubility cytosolic proteins in the cell. 相似文献

The F-box protein family 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The F-box is a protein motif of approximately 50 amino acids that functions as a site of protein-protein interaction. F-box proteins were first characterized as components of SCF ubiquitin-ligase complexes (named after their main components, Skp I, Cullin, and an F-box protein), in which they bind substrates for ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. The F-box motif links the F-box protein to other components of the SCF complex by binding the core SCF component Skp I. F-box proteins have more recently been discovered to function in non-SCF protein complexes in a variety of cellular functions. There are 11 F-box proteins in budding yeast, 326 predicted in Caenorhabditis elegans, 22 in Drosophila, and at least 38 in humans. F-box proteins often include additional carboxy-terminal motifs capable of protein-protein interaction; the most common secondary motifs in yeast and human F-box proteins are WD repeats and leucine-rich repeats, both of which have been found to bind phosphorylated substrates to the SCF complex. The majority of F-box proteins have other associated motifs, and the functions of most of these proteins have not yet been defined. 相似文献

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the eukaryotic organelle where most secretory proteins are folded for subsequent delivery to their site of action. Proper folding of newly synthesized proteins is monitored by a stringent ER quality control system. This system recognizes misfolded or unassembled proteins and prevents them from reaching their final destination. Instead, they are extracted from the ER, polyubiquitinated and degraded by the cytosolic proteasome. With the identification of novel components and substrates, a more and more complex picture of this process emerges in which distinct pathways target different sets of substrates for destruction. 相似文献

Protein quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an elaborate process conserved from yeast to mammals, ensuring that only newly synthesized proteins with correct conformations in the ER are sorted further into the secretory pathway. It is well known that high-mannose type N-glycans are involved in protein-folding events. In the quality control process, proteins that fail to achieve proper folding or proper assembly are degraded in a process known as ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The ERAD pathway comprises multiple steps including substrate recognition and targeting to the retro-translocation machinery, retrotranslocation from the ER into the cytosol, and proteasomal degradation through ubiquitination. Recent studies have documented the important roles of sugar-recognition (lectin-type) molecules for trimmed high-mannose type N-glycans and glycosidases in the ERAD pathways in both ER and cytosol. In this review, we discuss a fundamental system that monitors glycoprotein folding in the ER and the unique roles of the sugar-recognizing ubiquitin ligase and peptide:N-glycanase (PNGase) in the cytosolic ERAD pathway. 相似文献

Protein disulfide isomerases (PDIs) constitute a family of oxidoreductases promoting redox protein folding and quality control in the endoplasmic reticulum. PDIs catalyze disulfide bond formation, isomerization, and reduction, operating in concert with molecular chaperones to fold secretory cargoes in addition to directing misfolded proteins to be refolded or degraded. Importantly, PDIs are emerging as key components of the proteostasis network, integrating protein folding status with central surveillance mechanisms to balance proteome stability according to cellular needs. Recent advances in the field driven by the generation of new mouse models, human genetic studies, and omics methodologies, in addition to interventions using small molecules and gene therapy, have revealed the significance of PDIs to the physiology of the nervous system. PDIs are also implicated in diverse pathologies, ranging from neurodevelopmental conditions to neurodegenerative diseases and traumatic injuries. Here, we review the principles of redox protein folding in the ER with a focus on current evidence linking genetic mutations and biochemical alterations to PDIs in the etiology of neurological conditions. 相似文献

Disruption of the functional protein balance in living cells activates protective quality control systems to repair damaged proteins or sequester potentially cytotoxic misfolded proteins into aggregates. The established model based on Saccharomyces cerevisiae indicates that aggregating proteins in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells partition between cytosolic juxtanuclear (JUNQ) and peripheral deposits. Substrate ubiquitination acts as the sorting principle determining JUNQ deposition and subsequent degradation. Here, we show that JUNQ unexpectedly resides inside the nucleus, defining a new intranuclear quality control compartment, INQ, for the deposition of both nuclear and cytosolic misfolded proteins, irrespective of ubiquitination. Deposition of misfolded cytosolic proteins at INQ involves chaperone‐assisted nuclear import via nuclear pores. The compartment‐specific aggregases, Btn2 (nuclear) and Hsp42 (cytosolic), direct protein deposition to nuclear INQ and cytosolic (CytoQ) sites, respectively. Intriguingly, Btn2 is transiently induced by both protein folding stress and DNA replication stress, with DNA surveillance proteins accumulating at INQ. Our data therefore reveal a bipartite, inter‐compartmental protein quality control system linked to DNA surveillance via INQ and Btn2. 相似文献

Protein degradation is a crucial cellular process in all‐living systems. Here, using Mycoplasma pneumoniae as a model organism, we defined the minimal protein degradation machinery required to maintain proteome homeostasis. Then, we conditionally depleted the two essential ATP‐dependent proteases. Whereas depletion of Lon results in increased protein aggregation and decreased heat tolerance, FtsH depletion induces cell membrane damage, suggesting a role in quality control of membrane proteins. An integrative comparative study combining shotgun proteomics and RNA‐seq revealed 62 and 34 candidate substrates, respectively. Cellular localization of substrates and epistasis studies supports separate functions for Lon and FtsH. Protein half‐life measurements also suggest a role for Lon‐modulated protein decay. Lon plays a key role in protein quality control, degrading misfolded proteins and those not assembled into functional complexes. We propose that regulating complex assembly and degradation of isolated proteins is a mechanism that coordinates important cellular processes like cell division. Finally, by considering the entire set of proteases and chaperones, we provide a fully integrated view of how a minimal cell regulates protein folding and degradation. 相似文献

Quality control of protein folding represents a fundamental cellular activity. Early steps of protein N-glycosylation involving the removal of three glucose and some specific mannose residues in the endoplasmic reticulum have
been recognized as being of importance for protein quality control. Specific oligosaccharide structures resulting from the
oligosaccharide processing may represent a glycocode promoting productive protein folding, whereas others may represent glyco-codes
for routing not correctly folded proteins for dislocation from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cytosol and subsequent degradation.
Although quality control of protein folding is essential for the proper functioning of cells, it is also the basis for protein
folding disorders since the recognition and elimination of non-native conformers can result either in loss-of-function or
pathological-gain-of-function. The machinery for protein folding control represents a prime example of an intricate interactome
present in a single organelle, the endoplasmic reticulum. Here, current views of mechanisms for the recognition and retention
leading to productive protein folding or the eventual elimination of misfolded glycoproteins in yeast and mammalian cells
are reviewed. 相似文献

The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is responsible for the folding and post-translational modification of secretory proteins, as well as for triaging misfolded proteins. During folding, there is a complex yet only partially understood interplay between disulfide bond formation, which is an enzyme catalyzed event in the oxidizing environment of the ER, along with other post-translational modifications (PTMs) and chaperone-supported protein folding. Here, we used the glycoprotein torsinA as a model substrate to explore the impact of ER redox homeostasis on PTMs and protein biogenesis. TorsinA is a AAA+ ATPase with unusual oligomeric properties and controversial functions. The deletion of a C-terminal glutamic acid residue (?E) is associated with the development of Early-Onset Torsion Dystonia, a severe movement disorder. TorsinA differs from other AAA+ ATPases since it is an ER resident, and as a result of its entry into the ER torsinA contains two N-linked glycans and at least one disulfide bond. The role of these PTMs on torsinA biogenesis and function and the identity of the enzymes that catalyze them are poorly defined. Using a yeast torsinA expression system, we demonstrate that a specific protein disulfide isomerase, Pdi1, affects the folding and N-linked glycosylation of torsinA and torsinA?E in a redox-dependent manner, suggesting that the acquisition of early torsinA folding intermediates is sensitive to perturbed interactions between Cys residues and the quality control machinery. We also highlight the role of specific Cys residues during torsinA biogenesis and demonstrate that torsinA?E is more sensitive than torsinA when these Cys residues are mutated. 相似文献

Sequential processing of the transmembrane amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the beta-secretase BACE and by the gamma-secretase causes secretion of Abeta peptides. Extracellular aggregation of these peptides in the brain is a major hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. For therapeutic purposes and the development of specific inhibitors, it is important to characterize these secretases. We have established a cellular growth selection system for functional expression of human BACE in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A fragment of APP bearing the beta-site, the transmembrane domain and the cytosolic tail was fused to the C-terminus of the yeast enzyme invertase, which is normally secreted to allow cell growth in the presence of sucrose as the sole carbon source. The resulting invertase-APP fusion protein was expressed as a type-I transmembrane protein in intracellular compartments of yeast cells lacking endogenous invertase. In these cells, co-expression of human BACE restored cell growth on selective plates upon cleavage of the invertase-APP fusion protein. The cellular growth selection system presented here can be generally applied to screen for secretases that specifically cleave membrane-bound substrates. Furthermore, this system provides the basis for a high-throughput screen for identifying secretase inhibitors that are active in eukaryotic cells. 相似文献

To maintain protein homeostasis, cells must balance protein synthesis with protein degradation. Accumulation of misfolded or partially degraded proteins can lead to the formation of pathological protein aggregates. Here we report the use of destabilizing domains, proteins whose folding state can be reversibly tuned using a high affinity ligand, as model substrates to interrogate cellular protein quality control mechanisms in mammalian cells using a forward genetic screen. Upon knockdown of UBE3C, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, a reporter protein consisting of a destabilizing domain fused to GFP is degraded more slowly and incompletely by the proteasome. Partial proteolysis is also observed when UBE3C is present but cannot ubiquitinate substrates because its active site has been mutated, it is unable to bind to the proteasome, or the substrate lacks lysine residues. UBE3C knockdown also results in less substrate polyubiquitination. Finally, knockdown renders cells more susceptible to the Hsp90 inhibitor 17-AAG, suggesting that UBE3C protects against the harmful accumulation of protein fragments arising from incompletely degraded proteasome substrates. 相似文献
