Most of peroxisomal matrix proteins including a hydrogen peroxide (HO)-decomposing enzyme, catalase, are imported in a peroxisome-targeting signal type-1 (PTS1)-dependent manner. However, little is known about regulation of the membrane-bound protein import machinery. Here, we report that Pex14, a central component of the protein translocation complex in peroxisomal membrane, is phosphorylated in response to oxidative stresses such as HO in mammalian cells. The HO-induced phosphorylation of Pex14 at Ser232 suppresses peroxisomal import of catalase in vivo and selectively impairs in vitro the interaction of catalase with the Pex14-Pex5 complex. A phosphomimetic mutant Pex14-S232D elevates the level of cytosolic catalase, but not canonical PTS1-proteins, conferring higher cell resistance to HO. We thus suggest that the HO-induced phosphorylation of Pex14 spatiotemporally regulates peroxisomal import of catalase, functioning in counteracting action against oxidative stress by the increase of cytosolic catalase.
大多数过氧化物酶体基质蛋白,包括过氧化氢 (HO) 分解酶过氧化氢酶,都是以过氧化物酶体靶向信号类型 1 (PTS1) 依赖的方式被输入的。然而,对于膜结合蛋白输入机制的调节却知之甚少。在这里,我们报告说,过氧化物酶体膜中蛋白质易位复合物的核心组成部分 Pex14 会在哺乳动物细胞中受到 HO 等氧化应激的影响而发生磷酸化。HO 诱导的 Pex14 在 Ser232 处的磷酸化会抑制体内过氧化氢酶的过氧化物酶体导入,并选择性地损害过氧化氢酶与 Pex14-Pex5 复合物的体外相互作用。磷酸模拟突变体 Pex14-S232D 会提高细胞质中过氧化氢酶的水平,但不会提高经典 PTS1-蛋白的水平,从而使细胞对 HO 的抗性更高。因此,我们认为 HO 诱导的 Pex14 磷酸化时空调节过氧化氢酶的过氧化物酶体导入,通过增加细胞质中的过氧化氢酶来发挥对抗氧化应激的拮抗作用。
