Suppressor/enhancer of Lin-12-like 2006; Ye et al., 2004). The ERAD process begins with the selection (Sel1L)–HMG-coA reductase degradation protein 1 (Hrd1)-mediated of the substrate protein; this is based on either glycosylation tags, ERAD has emerged as a crucial determinant of normal physiology mannose trimming status and/or conformational change, and is and as a sentinel against disease pathogenesis in the body, in a aided by chaperones, such as 78-kDa glucose-regulated protein α largely substrate- and cell type-specific manner. In this Review, we (Grp78; also known as HSPA5), ER degradation-enhancing - highlight three features of ERAD, constitutive versus inducible ERAD, mannosidase-like protein (Edem) family proteins and osteosarcoma quality versus quantity control of ERAD and ERAD-mediated amplified 9 (Os9) (Araki and Nagata, 2011; Bernasconi et al., 2010; regulation of nuclear gene transcription, through which ERAD Christianson et al., 2008; Hegde and Ploegh, 2010; Olzmann et al., exerts a profound impact on a number of physiological processes. 2013; Smith et al., 2011; van der Goot et al., 2018). In a second step, the substrate is retro-translocated into the cytosol through the KEY WORDS: Sel1L-Hrd1 ERAD, Health, Disease, Constitutive polytopic dislocon Hrd1; Hrd1 itself forms a ubiquitin-gated ERAD, Inducible ERAD, ERAD substrate, Quality control, Quantity channel activated by auto-ubiquitylation (Baldridge and Rapoport, control, Nuclear gene transcription 2016; Carvalho et al., 2010; Christianson et al., 2012). Other potential dislocon proteins, such as degradation in endoplasmic Introduction reticulum protein (Derlin) family members – Derlin-1, Derlin-2 or Secreted proteins, such as hormones and growth factors, as well as Derlin-3 – have been identified as possibly working together with transmembrane receptors, critically regulate nearly all aspects of Hrd1, but their role needs further characterization in mammalian life, including food intake, water balance, growth, metabolism and systems (Lilley and Ploegh, 2004; Ye et al., 2004). The adaptor immunity. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a specialized cellular protein Sel1L is indispensable for the stability and function of Hrd1 compartment where the folding and maturation of most of these (Mueller et al., 2008, 2006; Sun et al., 2014; Vashistha et al., 2016). proteins take place (Hegde and Lingappa, 1997). Aberrations in Subsequent to the retro-translocation, substrates are ubiquitylated these complex thermodynamic folding processes and kinetic by Hrd1 (Kikkert et al., 2004) and targeted for proteasomal parameters can disrupt cellular homeostasis and lead to degradation by the ATPase valosin-containing protein Vcp (also debilitating diseases, such as liver and lung diseases, and diabetes known as p97) and other ubiquitin-modifying enzymes (Ernst et al., (Braakman and Bulleid, 2011; Wiseman et al., 2007).

In addition, other E3 ligases, associated degradation (ERAD) is a highly conserved, major such as glycoprotein 78 (Gp78, also known as AMFR), membrane- regulatory system that guards against such events, thereby associated ring-CH-type finger 6 (March6), ring finger protein 5 maintaining proteostasis within the ER (Aridor and Balch, 1999; (Rnf5, also known as Rma1) and tripartite motif containing 13 Guerriero and Brodsky, 2012).

Biochemical (patho)physiological scale has, until recently, remained unknown studies have identified some proteins as possible ERAD substrates (Hwang and Qi, 2018; Qi et al., 2017).

Overview over physiological ERAD and emerging paradigms. (A) Sel1L–Hrd1- ER ER mediated ERAD. ERAD is a highly conserved cellular system that is responsible for the Chaperones Substrates Chemical agents retrotranslocation of substrate proteins from the Substrates proAvp Pre-BCR Tm Tg ER to the cytosol for proteasomal degradation. This process starts with substrate recruitment by chaperones (Grp78, Os9, Xtp3b, Edem1– UPR Edem3) and adaptor proteins (Sel1L, Derlin Pomc Sel1L proteins), followed by their retrotranslocation through the dislocon channel (Hrd1 or Derlin), and ubiquitylation by an E3 ligase (Hrd1) and ERAD ATPase (Vcp), before degradation at the proteasome. (B–D) Recent in vivo studies have Derlin highlighted three major conceptual advances in Crebh mammalian ERAD biology. (B) Constitutive versus inducible ERAD. ERAD may function in Hrd1 a constitutive capacity to maintain optimal Vcp Food B cell Nucleus levels of key proteins regulating critical maturation intake physiological process such as food intake, Proteasome water and energy balance, and B cell development, or in an inducible capacity, Fgf21 whereby ERAD gene expression is triggered by drug-induced UPR.

Physiological ERAD has balance been reported to perform both quality control of misfolded substrates, thus ensuring fidelity of Constitutive Inducible production and protecting against their Cytosol Cytosol aggregation and loss-of-function effects, and quantity control of folding-competent C D substrates, thereby regulating their abundance and guarding against over-activation and gain- Cytosol α ER Ire1 of-function effects. (D) ERAD-regulated transcription. ERAD influences gene expression in the nucleus through the direct ERAD manipulation of ER-related transcription ERAD α– X factors; for example, the Ire1 Xbp1s axis of P0 XBP1u UPR, and the Crebh–Fgf21 axis in metabolism and growth.
