- Lysosomes play a critical role in the quality control of cellular organelles. However, lysosomal membranes can be damaged under a variety of conditions, leading to the onset of various diseases. Damaged lysosomes are selectively cleared via a ubiquitin-dependent mechanism, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this process have not been adequately elucidated. In this study, we found that RNF115 is a lysosomal damage-responsive ubiquitin ligase that undergoes massive translocation from the cytosol to the p62/SQSTM1-positive puncta around ruptured lysosomes. In accordance with the changes in its distribution, the depletion of RNF115 delayed the removal of Gal3 from damaged lysosomes during the restoration process following lysosomal damage. These observations suggest that RNF115 is responsible for the clearance of damaged lysosomes. - Source: PubMed

Nakanaga SaeTakahashi ToshikiKuma AkikoKawahara Hiroyuki - The small GTPase Rab9 plays a major role in the vesicular trafficking of cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate receptor (CI-M6PR). CI-M6PR trafficking has also been reported to be perturbed by the dysfunction of a ubiquitin ligase necessary for protein quality control (PQC). However, the mechanism underlying the participation of the PQC machinery in CI-M6PR trafficking is poorly understood. In this study, we found an extremely short half-life of GDP-bound Rab9, which is in clear contrast to its phylogenetically closest relative, Rab7. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of these relatives revealed that hydrophobic residues are specifically exposed in the switch I region of Rab9a and that these residues are recognized by the PQC machinery. We defined this exposed hydrophobicity as a conformation-dependent hydrophobic (CDH) degron because its existence determines the instability of Rab proteins in a nucleotide-dependent manner. CDH degron-mediated instability is essential for Rab9a function, given that forced accumulation of CDH degron-mutated Rab9a in cells resulted in the defective localization of CI-M6PR, a similar phenotype observed in PQC dysfunction. Thus, the CDH degron-driven PQC system is necessary for the proper vesicular trafficking of CI-M6PR. We also identified valosin-containing protein/p97 as a CDH degron-dependent PQC factor for GDP-bound Rab9a. - Source: PubMed

Shirai JunTakahashi ToshikiKawahara Hiroyuki - Ubiquilin-2 (UBQLN2) is a ubiquitin (Ub)-binding shuttle protein that is mutated in X-linked forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). ALS/FTD-linked mutations in UBQLN2 disrupt its conformation, increasing its tendency to form cytoplasmic aggregates that may disrupt cellular regulation through loss-of-function (LOF) and gain-of-function (GOF) effects. Here, we performed quantitative mass spectrometry (MS)-based interactome analysis of wild-type (UBQLN2) and ALS-mutant UBQLN2 (UBQLN2) proteins using inducible pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and induced motor neurons (iMNs). Proteins showing enhanced association with UBQLN2 proteins included PEG10, a known degradation target of UBQLN2, and BAG6, a chaperone involved in the triage of mislocalized proteins (MLPs). BAG6 knockdown inhibited the solubility recovery of both UBQLN2 and UBQLN2 proteins following heat stress (HS), suggesting it functions as a UBQLN2 holdase. In addition, knockdown of BAG6 or knockout of UBQLN2 led to PEG10 accumulation, implicating both in PEG10 turnover; however, neither BAG6 nor UBQLN2 was required for PEG10 degradation in response to HS. A highly aggregation-prone UBQLN2 mutant harboring four different ALS-associated mutations showed increased PEG10 binding and modestly delayed PEG10 turnover while PEG10 degradation was not significantly different between UBQLN2 and iPSCs expressing a UBQLN2 clinical mutant. The combined findings implicate BAG6 as a UBQLN2 holdase and identify a suite of proteins whose altered binding may contribute to pathologic changes in UBQLN2-associated ALS/FTD. - Source: PubMed

Kim Sang HwaBoos Claire EScalf MarkWilkemeyer Akasha KSmith Lloyd MTibbetts Randal S - Bcl-2-associated Athanogene 6 (BAG6) plays critical roles in multiple tumors, but its biological functions and clinical significance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain unclear. Multi-omics analyses showed that BAG6 mRNA and protein levels are significantly upregulated in HCC tissues, linked to genetic mutations and aberrant DNA methylation. In the TCGA cohort, BAG6 exhibits high diagnostic accuracy (AUC = 0.935) and is independently associated with poor overall survival (HR = 1.62) and adverse clinicopathological features, as well as correlates with tumor immune microenvironment, tumor mutation burden (TMB), and immunotherapy response. From a public health perspective, its diagnostic value supports integration into machine learning models for early HCC screening to optimize risk stratification, enhance efficiency, and reduce advanced HCC burden. Functional experiments revealed that BAG6 knockdown remarkably inhibits HCC cell growth in vitro and in vivo. BAG6 knockdown decreased PLK1 expression in HCC cells, an essential regulator of the aerobic glycolytic process. Mechanistically, BAG6 directly binds to PLK1 and suppresses its ubiquitination and degradation, and enhances PLK1-mediated Warburg effect, thereby promoting HCC growth. Overall, we identify BAG6 as an HCC progression driver via the PLK1-mediated Warburg effect, a potential therapeutic and early screening marker. - Source: PubMed
