Resumen

Una nueva vía de degradación de proteínas en la membrana nuclear interna (INM) de la levadura, mediada por el complejo Asi, salvaguarda la identidad INM degradando las proteínas mal localizadas. Esta vía es distinta de la degradación proteica asociada al retículo endoplasmático (ERAD).

Área de la Ciencia:

Biología celular Biología celular.
Biología Molecular Biología Molecular
La bioquímica es la bioquímica.

Sus antecedentes:

La envoltura nuclear, que comprende las membranas interna y externa, regula los procesos nucleares.
La homeostasis de las proteínas en la membrana nuclear externa se basa en la degradación de las proteínas asociadas al retículo endoplasmático (ERAD).
Los mecanismos de control de la calidad de las proteínas en la membrana nuclear interna (MNI) siguen siendo en gran medida no caracterizados.

Objetivo del estudio:

Para identificar y caracterizar las vías de degradación de proteínas en el INM en la levadura.
Comprender el papel del complejo Asi en el control de la calidad de las proteínas INM.
Para identificar sustratos de las ligasas de ubiquitina INM y ERAD E3.

Principales métodos:

Utilizó una biblioteca de levaduras de todo el genoma con un temporizador de proteínas fluorescentes en tándem para una detección imparcial.
Se empleó un análisis genético para comparar la vía Asi con la vía ERAD.
Se han identificado sustratos de las ligasas de ubiquitina Asi, Hrd1 y Doa10 E3.

Principales resultados:

Descubrió una nueva vía de degradación de proteínas INM mediada por el complejo Asi (Asi1 y Asi3).
El complejo Asi, con Ubc6 y Ubc7, degrada las proteínas de membrana solubles e integrales.
Se han identificado más de 50 sustratos para las ligasas de ubiquitina Asi, Hrd1 y Doa10 E3.
Se demostró que la Asi ubiquitin ligasa degrada las proteínas de membrana integral mal localizadas.

Conclusiones:

El complejo Asi representa una vía distinta pero complementaria al ERAD para la degradación de las proteínas.
Esta vía específica del INM es crucial para mantener la integridad e identidad de la membrana nuclear interna.
Los hallazgos proporcionan nuevos conocimientos sobre el control de calidad de las proteínas de la envoltura nuclear.

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting

Nuclear protein sorting regulates nucleus composition and gene expression, crucial for determining the fate of a eukaryotic cell. Hence, the entry and exit of molecules across the nuclear envelope is a tightly controlled process. Nuclear protein sorting can be inhibited by one of the following ways: 1) masking cargo signal sequences, 2) modifying the nuclear receptor's affinity for cargo, 3) controlling the nuclear pore size, 4) retaining the cargo during its transit to the cytosol or the...

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

Protein Folding Quality Check in the RER

ER is the primary site for the maturation and folding of soluble and transmembrane secretory proteins. The calnexin cycle is a specific chaperone system that folds and assesses the confirmation of N-glycosylated proteins before they can exit the ER lumen. The primary players of this quality check pipeline are the lectins, ER-resident chaperones, and a glucosyl transferase enzyme. In case the calnexin system in the lumen fails to salvage a misfolded protein, it is transported to the cytoplasm...

Nuclear Protein Sorting

Nuclear Protein Sorting

Nuclear protein sorting is the selective trafficking of histones, polymerases, gene regulatory proteins into the nucleus and exporting RNAs and ribosomes to the cytosol. It is a tightly controlled process that regulates gene expression within a cell.
Proteins targeted to the nucleus carry nuclear localization signals or NLS recognized by import receptors in the cytosol. Similarly, proteins with nuclear export signals are recognized by export receptors. Import and export receptors are...

Protein Transport into the Inner Mitochondrial Membrane

Protein Transport into the Inner Mitochondrial Membrane

Nuclear encoded mitochondrial precursors are imported to the inner membrane in a multistep process involving two separate translocons, TIM22 and TIM23. TIM23 is a cation-selective pore that remains closed by the N terminal segment of the protein. Negative charges on the TIM23 act as a receptor for the incoming precursor, pulling the positively charged matrix-targeting sequence for peptide insertion and translocation.
Transport of mitochondrial precursors across the TIM23 channel is driven by...

The Inner Mitochondrial Membrane

The Inner Mitochondrial Membrane

The inner mitochondrial membrane is the primary site of ATP synthesis. The inner membrane domain that forms a smooth layer adjacent to the outer membrane is called the inner boundary membrane. This domain contains membrane transporters that drive metabolites in and out of the mitochondria. In contrast, the inner membrane network that invaginates into the matrix space is called the cristae membrane. This domain accounts for principle mitochondrial function as it accommodates the protein...

Porin Insertion in the Outer Mitochondrial Membrane

Porin Insertion in the Outer Mitochondrial Membrane

Porins are beta-barrel proteins translocated to the mitochondrial outer membrane through the TOM complex into the intermembrane space. Porin precursors bind TIM chaperones within the intermembrane space and are guided to the Sorting and Assembly Machinery complex or SAM complex on the outer mitochondrial membrane.
Three models describe the assembly of porins by the SAM complex and their insertion into the outer membrane. Model 1 suggests that porins are assembled outside the SAM channel as the...
