Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) degradation of aberrant proteins is mediated by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Here, a membrane-bound component ubiquitin system, Cue1p, was identified. It shown to recruit soluble ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Ubc7p ER membrane. In absence unassembled and thus cytosolically mislocalized unable participate in or turnover non-ER proteins. Moreover, ubiquitination Cue1p-assembled Ubc6p prerequisite for retrograde transport lumenal substrates out ER, which suggests...

To maintain protein homeostasis in secretory compartments, eukaryotic cells harbor a quality control system that monitors folding and complex assembly the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Proteins do not fold properly or integrate into cognate complexes are degraded by ER-associated degradation (ERAD) involving retrotranslocation to cytoplasm proteasomal peptide hydrolysis. N-linked glycans essential glycoprotein ERAD; covalent oligosaccharide structure is used as signal display status of host...

Significance A substrate-conjugated polyubiquitin chain is accepted as the “canonical” proteasomal degradation signal. Using a cellular (human and yeast) proteomic screen in exclusive presence of nonpolymerizable ubiquitin, we show that large group proteins degraded by proteasome following monoubiquitination. The also unraveled polyubiquitin-dependent substrates, they are stabilized this ubiquitin mutant. Notably, monoubiquitination- polyubiquitination-dependent substrates display distinct...
