Peroxisomes are membrane-bound organelles harboring metabolic enzymes. In humans, peroxisomes are required for normal development, yet the genes regulating peroxisome function remain unclear. We performed a genome-wide CRISPRi screen to identify novel factors involved in peroxisomal homeostasis. We found that inhibition of RNF146, an E3 ligase activated by poly(ADP-ribose), reduced the import of proteins into peroxisomes. RNF146-mediated loss of peroxisome import depended on the stabilization and activity of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase tankyrase, which binds the peroxisomal membrane protein PEX14. We propose that RNF146 and tankyrase regulate peroxisome import efficiency by PARsylation of proteins at the peroxisome membrane. Interestingly, we found that the loss of peroxisomes increased tankyrase and RNF146-dependent degradation of non-peroxisomal substrates, including the beta-catenin destruction complex component AXIN1, which was sufficient to alter the amplitude of beta-catenin transcription. Together, these observations not only suggest previously undescribed roles for RNF146 in peroxisomal regulation, but also a novel role in bridging peroxisome function with Wnt/beta-catenin signaling during development.
过氧化物酶体是含有代谢酶的膜结合细胞器。在人类中,过氧化物酶体是正常发育所必需的,但调节过氧化物酶体功能的基因仍不清楚。我们进行了全基因组CRISPR干扰筛选,以确定参与过氧化物酶体稳态的新因子。我们发现,抑制由聚(ADP-核糖)激活的E3连接酶RNF146会减少蛋白质进入过氧化物酶体的导入。RNF146介导的过氧化物酶体导入丧失取决于聚(ADP-核糖)聚合酶端锚聚合酶的稳定性和活性,端锚聚合酶与过氧化物酶体膜蛋白PEX14结合。我们提出,RNF146和端锚聚合酶通过对过氧化物酶体膜上的蛋白质进行聚(ADP-核糖)化修饰来调节过氧化物酶体的导入效率。有趣的是,我们发现过氧化物酶体的丧失增加了端锚聚合酶和RNF146依赖的非过氧化物酶体底物的降解,包括β-连环蛋白破坏复合物成分AXIN1,这足以改变β-连环蛋白转录的幅度。总之,这些观察结果不仅表明RNF146在过氧化物酶体调节中具有以前未描述的作用,而且还表明在发育过程中,RNF146在将过氧化物酶体功能与Wnt/β-连环蛋白信号传导联系起来方面具有新的作用。
