Rad23 escapes degradation because it lacks a proteasome initiation region

چکیده
Rad23 is an adaptor protein that binds to both ubiquitinated substrates and to the proteasome. Despite its association with the proteasome, Rad23 escapes degradation. Here we show that Rad23 remains stable because it lacks an effective initiation region at which the proteasome can engage the protein and unfold it. Rad23 contains several internal, unstructured loops, but these are too short to act as initiation regions. Experiments with model proteins show that internal loops must be surprisingly long to engage the proteasome and support degradation. These length requirements are not specific to Rad23 and reflect a general property of the proteasome.

The UBA2 domain functions as an intrinsic stabilization signal that protects Rad23 from proteasomal degradation.
The proteasome-interacting protein Rad23 is a long-lived protein. Interaction between Rad23 and the proteasome is required for Rad23's functions in nucleotide excision repair and ubiquitin-dependent degradation. Here, we show that the ubiquitin-associated (UBA)-2 domain of yeast Rad23 is a cis-acting, transferable stabilization signal that protects Rad23 from proteasomal degradation. Disruption...
متن کاملC-terminal UBA domains protect ubiquitin receptors by preventing initiation of protein degradation
The ubiquitin receptors Rad23 and Dsk2 deliver polyubiquitylated substrates to the proteasome for destruction. The C-terminal ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain of Rad23 functions as a cis-acting stabilization signal that protects this protein from proteasomal degradation. Here, we provide evidence that the C-terminal UBA domains guard ubiquitin receptors from destruction by preventing initiatio...
متن کاملRad23 stabilizes Rad4 from degradation by the Ub/proteasome pathway.
Rad23 protein interacts with the nucleotide excision-repair (NER) factor Rad4, and the dimer can bind damaged DNA. Rad23 also binds ubiquitinated proteins and promotes their degradation by the proteasome. Rad23/proteasome interaction is required for efficient NER, although the specific role of the Ub/proteasome system in DNA repair is unclear. We report that the availability of Rad4 contributes...
متن کاملRad23 interaction with the proteasome is regulated by phosphorylation of its ubiquitin-like (UbL) domain.
Rad23 was identified as a DNA repair protein, although a role in protein degradation has been described. The protein degradation function of Rad23 contributes to cell cycle progression, stress response, endoplasmic reticulum proteolysis, and DNA repair. Rad23 binds the proteasome through a UbL (ubiquitin-like) domain and contains UBA (ubiquitin-associated) motifs that bind multiubiquitin chains...
متن کاملThe Png1–Rad23 complex regulates glycoprotein turnover
Misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are destroyed by a pathway termed ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD). Glycans are often removed from glycosylated ERAD substrates in the cytosol before substrate degradation, which maintains the efficiency of the proteasome. Png1, a deglycosylating enzyme, has long been suspected, but not proven, to be crucial in this process. We demons...
