چکیده

GH (growth hormone) binding to the GHR (GH receptor) triggers essential signalling pathways that promote growth and metabolic regulation. The sensitivity of the cells to GH is mainly controlled by the endocytosis of the receptor via βTrCP (β-transducin repeat-containing protein). In the present study, we show that βTrCP interacts directly via its WD40 domain with the UbE (ubiquitin-dependent endocytosis) motif in GHR, promoting GHR ubiquitination in vitro. NMR experiments demonstrated that the UbE motif is essentially unstructured, and, together with functional mapping of the UbE and βTrCP WD40 residues necessary for binding, led to a unique interaction model of βTrCP with GHR-UbE. This interaction is different from the conventional βTrCP-substrate interactions described to date. This interaction therefore represents a promising specific target to develop drugs that inhibit GHR endocytosis and increase GH sensitivity in cachexia patients.

Regulation of Interleukin-10 Receptor Ubiquitination and Stability by Beta-TrCP-Containing Ubiquitin E3 Ligase

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) initiates potent anti-inflammatory effects via activating its cell surface receptor, composed of IL-10R1 and IL-10R2 subunits. The level of IL-10R1 is a major determinant of the cells' responsiveness to IL-10. Here, via a series of biochemical analyses using 293T cells reconstituted with IL-10R1, we identify the latter as a novel substrate of βTrCP-containing ubiquitin E3...

Ubc13 and COOH terminus of Hsp70-interacting protein (CHIP) are required for growth hormone receptor endocytosis.

Growth hormone receptor (GHR) endocytosis is a highly regulated process that depends on the binding and activity of the multimeric ubiquitin ligase, SCF(βTrCP) (Skp Cullin F-box). Despite a specific interaction between β-transducin repeat-containing protein (βTrCP) and the GHR, and a strict requirement for ubiquitination activity, the receptor is not an obligatory target for SCF(βTrCP)-directed...

The ubiquitin-dependent endocytosis motif is required for efficient incorporation of growth hormone receptor in clathrin-coated pits, but not clathrin-coated lattices.

Endocytosis of the growth hormone receptor (GHR) requires an active ubiquitin-conjugation system. In addition, it depends on a 10 amino acid residues motif in the GHR-cytoplasmic tail, the ubiquitin dependent-endocytosis or UbE-motif. To gain insight into the role of ubiquitination in the early steps of endocytosis, we performed an ultrastructural analysis of GH-uptake in Chinese hamster cells ...

Jak2 Is a Negative Regulator of Ubiquitin-Dependent Endocytosis of the Growth Hormone Receptor

BACKGROUND Length and intensity of signal transduction via cytokine receptors is precisely regulated. Degradation of certain cytokine receptors is mediated by the ubiquitin ligase SCF(βTrCP). In several instances, Janus kinase (Jak) family members can stabilise their cognate cytokine receptors at the cell surface. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study we show in Hek293 cells that Jak2 binding to t...

A functional YNKI motif in the short cytoplasmic tail of varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein gH mediates clathrin-dependent and antibody-independent endocytosis.

The trafficking of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) gH was investigated under both infection and transfection conditions. In initial endocytosis assays performed in infected cells, the three glycoproteins gE, gI, and gB served as positive controls for internalization from the plasma membrane. Subsequently, we discovered that gH in VZV-infected cells was also internalized and followed a similar traf...
