Wiedmann1, Ladan Fazli1, Amina Zoubeidi1, and Martin E. Gleave1 Abstract Hsp27 is a stress-activated multifunctional chaperone that inhibits treatment-induced apoptosis and causes treatment resistance in prostate and other cancers. We previously showed that targeted suppression of Hsp27 sensitizes cancer cells to hormone and chemotherapy. However, mechanisms by which Hsp27 confers cell treatment resistance are incompletely defined. Here, we report that Hsp27 protects human prostate cancer cells against proteotoxic stress induced by proteasome inhibition, and that Hsp27 silencing using siRNA or antisense (OGX-427) induced both apoptosis and autophagy through mechanisms involving reduced protea- some activity and induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. We found that autophagy activation protected against ER stress-induced cell death, whereas inhibition of autophagy activation following Hsp27 silencing using either pharmacologic inhibitors or atg3 silencing enhanced cell death. Importantly, cotargeting Hsp27 and autophagy by combining OGX-427 with the autophagy inhibitor, chloroquine, significantly delayed PC-3 prostate tumor growth in vivo. These findings identify autophagy as a cytoprotective, stress-induced adaptive pathway, activated following disruption of protein homeostasis and ER stress induced by Hsp27 silencing. Combinatorial cotargeting cytoprotective Hsp27 and autophagy illustrates potential benefits of blocking activation of adaptive pathways to improve treatment outcomes in cancer.

    The Role of the Ubiquitin Ligase Nedd4-1 in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy by Preena Nagpal A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Masters in Medical Science Institute of Medical Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Preena Nagpal 2012 The Role of the Ubiquitin Ligase Nedd4-1 in Skeletal Muscle Atrophy Preena Nagpal Masters in Medical Science Institute of Medical Science University of Toronto 2012 Abstract Skeletal muscle (SM) atrophy complicates many illnesses, diminishing quality of life and increasing disease morbidity, health resource utilization and health care costs. In animal models of muscle atrophy, loss of SM mass results predominantly from ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis and ubiquitin ligases are the key enzymes that catalyze protein ubiquitination. We have previously shown that ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-1 is up-regulated in a rodent model of denervation- induced SM atrophy and the constitutive expression of Nedd4-1 is sufficient to induce myotube atrophy in vitro, suggesting an important role for Nedd4-1 in the regulation of muscle mass. In this study we generate a Nedd4-1 SM specific-knockout mouse and demonstrate that the loss of Nedd4-1 partially protects SM from denervation-induced atrophy confirming a regulatory role for Nedd4-1 in the maintenance of muscle mass in vivo. Nedd4-1 did not signal downstream through its known substrates Notch-1, MTMR4 or FGFR1, suggesting a novel substrate mediates Nedd4-1’s induction of SM atrophy. ii Acknowledgments and Contributions I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Jane Batt, for her undying support throughout my time in the laboratory.

  • The HECT Domain Ubiquitin Ligase HUWE1 Targets Unassembled Soluble Proteins for Degradation
    OPEN Citation: Cell Discovery (2016) 2, 16040; doi:10.1038/celldisc.2016.40 ARTICLE www.nature.com/celldisc The HECT domain ubiquitin ligase HUWE1 targets unassembled soluble proteins for degradation Yue Xu1, D Eric Anderson2, Yihong Ye1 1Laboratory of Molecular Biology, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA; 2Advanced Mass Spectrometry Core Facility, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA In eukaryotes, many proteins function in multi-subunit complexes that require proper assembly. To maintain complex stoichiometry, cells use the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation system to degrade unassembled membrane subunits, but how unassembled soluble proteins are eliminated is undefined. Here we show that degradation of unassembled soluble proteins (referred to as unassembled soluble protein degradation, USPD) requires the ubiquitin selective chaperone p97, its co-factor nuclear protein localization protein 4 (Npl4), and the proteasome. At the ubiquitin ligase level, the previously identified protein quality control ligase UBR1 (ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component n-recognin 1) and the related enzymes only process a subset of unassembled soluble proteins. We identify the homologous to the E6-AP carboxyl terminus (homologous to the E6-AP carboxyl terminus) domain-containing protein HUWE1 as a ubiquitin ligase for substrates bearing unshielded, hydrophobic segments. We used a stable isotope labeling with amino acids-based proteomic approach to identify endogenous HUWE1 substrates. Interestingly, many HUWE1 substrates form multi-protein com- plexes that function in the nucleus although HUWE1 itself is cytoplasmically localized. Inhibition of nuclear entry enhances HUWE1-mediated ubiquitination and degradation, suggesting that USPD occurs primarily in the cytoplasm.

In the present study, we investigated the effects of Hsp27 on HMGB1 translocation from the Acetylation nucleus to the cytoplasm in THP-1 cells. We found that Hsp27 phosphorylation decreased LPS-induced HMGB1 acetylation and translocation from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, as well as its release from THP-1 cells. The study further showed that cytosolic non-phosphorylated Hsp27 enhanced CBP ubiquitination and degradation in LPS-unstimulated cells, which suggested that Hsp27 maintained suitable CBP levels under normal physiological conditions. After LPS stimulation, Hsp27 was phosphorylated at serine residues 15/78 and translocated from the cytoplasm into the nucleus.

Abstract: Small heat shock proteins (HSPs), such as HSP27, are ubiquitously expressed molecular chaperones and are essential for cellular homeostasis. The major functions of HSP27 include chaper- oning misfolded or unfolded polypeptides and protecting cells from toxic stress. Dysregulation of stress proteins is associated with many human diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD is characterized by the presence of aggregates of α-synuclein in the central and peripheral nervous system, which induces the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) and in the autonomic nervous system. Autonomic dys- function is an important non-motor phenotype of PD, which includes cardiovascular dysregulation, Citation: Navarro-Zaragoza, J.; among others.
