CHIP-deficient mice exhibit cardiovascular stress and motor dysfunction prior to premature death. This ͳͷ phenotype is more consistent with animal models in which master regulators of autophagy are affected rather ͳ than with the mild phenotype of classic E3-ubiquitin ligase mutants. The cellular and biochemical events that ͳ contribute to neurodegeneration and premature aging in CHIP KO models remain poorly understood. ͳͺ Electron and fluorescent microscopy demonstrates that CHIP deficiency is associated with greater numbers of ͳͻ mitochondria, but these organelles are swollen and misshapen. Acute bioenergetic stress triggers CHIP ʹͲ induction and re-localization to mitochondria where it plays a role in the removal of damaged organelles. This ʹͳ mitochondrial clearance is required for protection following low-level bioenergetic stress in neurons. CHIP ʹʹ expression overlaps with stabilization of the redox stress sensor PTEN-inducible kinase 1 (PINK1) and is ʹ͵ associated with increased LC3-mediated mitophagy. Introducing human promoter-driven vectors with ʹͶ mutations in either the E3 ligase or TPR domains of CHIP in primary neurons derived from CHIP-null animals ʹͷ enhances CHIP accumulation at mitochondria. Exposure to autophagy inhibitors suggests the increase in ʹ mitochondrial CHIP is likely due to diminished clearance of these CHIP-tagged organelles. Proteomic analysis ʹ of WT and CHIP KO mouse brains (4 male, 4 female per genotype) reveals proteins essential for maintaining ʹͺ energetic, redox and mitochondrial homeostasis undergo significant genotype-dependent expression changes. ʹͻ Together these data support the use of CHIP deficient animals as a predictive model of age-related ͵Ͳ degeneration with selective neuronal proteotoxicity and mitochondrial failure. ͵ͳ ͵ʹ Significance Statement: Mitochondria are recognized as central determinants of neuronal function and ͵͵ survival. We demonstrate that C-terminus of HSC70-Interacting Protein (CHIP) is critical for neuronal ͵Ͷ responses to stress. CHIP upregulation and localization to mitochondria is required for mitochondrial ͵ͷ autophagy (mitophagy). Unlike other disease-associated E3 ligases such as Parkin and Mahogunin, CHIP ͵ controls homeostatic and stress-induced removal of mitochondria. While CHIP deletion results in greater ͵ numbers of mitochondria, these organelles have distorted inner membranes without clear cristae. Neuronal ͵ͺ cultures derived from animals lacking CHIP are more vulnerable to acute injuries, and transient loss of CHIP ͵ͻ renders neurons incapable of mounting a protective response following low-level stress. Together these data ͶͲ suggest that CHIP is an essential regulator of mitochondrial number, cell signaling and survival. Ͷͳ Ͷʹ Ͷ͵ Introduction Ͷͺ Garza, 2012).
