AMFR/gp78 and USP13 are a pair of ubiquitin ligase and deubiquitinase that ensure the accuracy of endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). Depletion of USP13 leads to caspase activation and cleavage of the ERAD chaperone BAG6, which is reversed by knockdown of . However, the mechanism and physiological relevance of this regulation are still unclear. Here, by using the NEDDylator system, we screened out TXN as a substrate of AMFR and USP13 and showed its involvement in regulating CASP3 activation and BAG6 cleavage. Furthermore, we showed that the cleaved N-terminal BAG6 is located in the cytosol and interacts with both LC3B-I and unprocessed form of LC3B (Pro-LC3B) through the LIR1 motif to suppress autophagy. An NMR approach verified the direct interaction between BAG6 LIR1 and LC3B-I or Pro-LC3B. Collectively, our findings uncover a mechanism that converts BAG6 from an ERAD regulator to an autophagy tuner and apoptosis inducer during ER stress.
AMFR/gp78和USP13是一对泛素连接酶和去泛素酶,可确保内质网相关降解(ERAD)的准确性。USP13的缺失会导致半胱天冬酶激活和ERAD伴侣蛋白BAG6的裂解,而这可通过敲低……来逆转。然而,这种调节的机制和生理相关性仍不清楚。在这里,我们使用NEDDylator系统筛选出TXN作为AMFR和USP13的底物,并表明其参与调节CASP3激活和BAG6裂解。此外,我们表明裂解后的BAG6 N端位于细胞质中,并通过LIR1基序与LC3B-I和未加工形式的LC3B(Pro-LC3B)相互作用以抑制自噬。一种核磁共振方法证实了BAG6 LIR1与LC3B-I或Pro-LC3B之间的直接相互作用。总的来说,我们的研究结果揭示了一种机制,即在内质网应激期间,BAG6从一个ERAD调节因子转变为自噬调节因子和凋亡诱导因子。
