The CHIP ubiquitin ligase turns molecular chaperones into protein degradation factors. CHIP associates with the chaperones Hsc70 and Hsp90 during the regulation of signaling pathways and during protein quality control, and directs chaperone-bound clients to the proteasome for degradation. Obviously, this destructive activity should be carefully controlled. Here, we identify the cochaperone HspBP1 as an inhibitor of CHIP. HspBP1 attenuates the ubiquitin ligase activity of CHIP when complexed with Hsc70. As a consequence, HspBP1 interferes with the CHIP-induced degradation of immature forms of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and stimulates CFTR maturation. Our data reveal a novel regulatory mechanism that determines folding and degradation activities of molecular chaperones.

Cystic fibrosis is the most widespread hereditary disease among the white population caused by different mutations of the apical membrane ATP-binding cassette transporter cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Its most common mutation, ΔF508, leads to nearly complete degradation via endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). Elucidation of the quality control and degradation mechanisms might give rise to new therapeutic approaches to cure this disease. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a variety of components of the protein quality control and degradation system have been identified. Nearly all of these components share homology with mammalian counterparts. We therefore used yeast mutants defective in the ERAD system to identify new components that are involved in human CFTR quality control and degradation. We show the role of the lectin Htm1p in the degradation process of CFTR. Complementation of the HTM1 deficiency in yeast cells by the mammalian orthologue EDEM underlines the necessity of this lectin for CFTR degradation and highlights the similarity of quality control and ERAD in yeast and mammals. Furthermore, degradation of CFTR requires the ubiquitin protein ligases Der3p/Hrd1p and Doa10p as well as the cytosolic trimeric Cdc48p-Ufd1p-Npl4p complex. These proteins also were found to be necessary for ERAD of a mutated yeast “relative” of CFTR, Pdr5*p.

Relative contributions of folding kinetics versus protein quality control (QC) activity in the partitioning of non-native proteins between life and death are not clear. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) biogenesis serves as an excellent model to study this question because folding of nascent CFTR is inefficient and deletion of F508 causes accumulation of CFTRΔF508 in a kinetically trapped, but foldable state. Herein, a novel endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated Hsp40, DNAJB12 (JB12) is demonstrated to play a role in control of CFTR folding efficiency. JB12 cooperates with cytosolic Hsc70 and the ubiquitin ligase RMA1 to target CFTR and CFTRΔF508 for degradation. Modest elevation of JB12 decreased nascent CFTR and CFTRΔF508 accumulation while increasing association of Hsc70 with ER forms of CFTR and the RMA1 E3 complex. Depletion of JB12 increased CFTR folding efficiency up to threefold and permitted a pool of CFTRΔF508 to fold and escape the ER. Introduction of the V510D misfolding suppressor mutation into CFTRΔF508 modestly increased folding efficiency, whereas combined inactivation of JB12 and suppression of intrinsic folding defects permitted CFTRΔF508 to fold at 50% of wild-type efficiency. Therapeutic correction of CFTRΔF508 misfolding in cystic fibrosis patients may require repair of defective folding kinetics and suppression of ER QC factors, such as JB12.

Aberrant secreted proteins can be destroyed by ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD), and a prominent, medically relevant ERAD substrate is the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). To better define the chaperone requirements during CFTR maturation, the protein was expressed in yeast. Because Hsp70 function impacts CFTR biogenesis in yeast and mammals, we first sought ER-associated Hsp40 cochaperones involved in CFTR maturation. Ydj1p and Hlj1p enhanced Hsp70 ATP hydrolysis but CFTR degradation was slowed only in yeast mutated for both YDJ1 and HLJ1, suggesting functional redundancy. In contrast, CFTR degradation was accelerated in an Hsp90 mutant strain, suggesting that Hsp90 preserves CFTR in a folded state, and consistent with this hypothesis, Hsp90 maintained the solubility of an aggregation-prone domain (NBD1) in CFTR. Soluble ERAD substrate degradation was unaffected in the Hsp90 or the Ydj1p/Hlj1p mutants, and surprisingly CFTR degradation was unaffected in yeast mutated for Hsp90 cochaperones. These results indicate that Hsp90, but not the Hsp90 complex, maintains CFTR structural integrity, whereas Ydj1p/Hlj1p catalyze CFTR degradation.

AbstractCystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein that disrupt its folding pathway. The most common mutation causing CF is a deletion of phenylalanine at position 508 (ΔF508). CFTR contains five domains that each form cotranslational structures that interact with other domains as they are produced and folded. CFTR is comprised of two transmembrane spanning domains (TMDs), two nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) and a unique regulatory region (R). The first domain translated, TMD1, forms interdomain interactions with the other domains in CFTR. In TMD1, long intracellular loops extend into the cytoplasm and interact with both NBDs via coupling helices and with TMD2 via transmembrane spans (TMs). We examined mutations in TMD1 to determine the impact on individual domain and multidomain constructs. We found that mutations in a TM span or in the cytosolic ICLs interfere with specific steps in the hierarchical folding of CFTR. TM1 CF-causing mutants, G85E and G91R, directly affect TMD1, whereas most ICL1 and ICL2 mutant effects become apparent in the presence of TMD2. A single mutant in ICL2 worsened CFTR trafficking in the presence of NBD2, supporting its role in the ICL2-NBD2 interface. Mutation of hydrophobic residues in ICL coupling helices tended to increased levels of pre-TMD2 biogenic intermediates but caused ER accumulation in the presence of TMD2. This suggests a tradeoff between transient stability during translation and final structure. NBD2 increased the efficiency of mutant trafficking from the ER, consistent with stabilization of the full-length constructs. While the G85E and G91R mutants in TM1 have immediately detectable effects, most of the studied mutant effects and the ΔF508 mutant are apparent after production of TMD2, supporting this intermediate as a major point of recognition by protein quality control.
