The aspartyl protease DDI2 activates Nrf1 to compensate for proteasome dysfunction

Abstract: In response to proteasome dysfunction, mammalian cells upregulate proteasome gene expression by activating Nrf1. Nrf1 is an endoplasmic reticulum-resident transcription factor that is continually retrotranslocated and degraded by the proteasome. Upon proteasome inhibition, Nrf1 escapes degradation and is cleaved to become active. However, the processing enzyme for Nrf1 remains obscure. Here we show that the aspartyl protease DNA-damage inducible 1 homolog 2 (DDI2) is required to cleave and activate Nrf1. Delet… Show more

“…5g). To further test the importance of Nrf1-mediated proteasome production as a pro-survival mechanism that is inhibited by LU-102 co-treatment, we knocked down DDI2, an aspartyl protease involved in cleavage of Nrf1 to its active form (Koizumi et al, 2016; Lehrbach and Ruvkun, 2016). We found that knocking down DDI2 in SUM149 cells with siRNA also caused a significant increase in apoptosis upon Cfz-treatment, while there was no change in cells treated with Cfz+LU-102 (Fig.…”

“…The activation of Nrf1 upon proteasome inhibition requires the protease DDI2 (Koizumi et al, 2016; Lehrbach and Ruvkun, 2016; Sha and Goldberg, 2016), which cleaves the ER-bound precursor of Nrf1 to a smaller form. However, in order for the cleaved Nrf1 to be active, it must also remain soluble.…”

“…This short-lived protein is expressed as a larger precursor fixed to the ER. When proteasomes are inhibited, Nrf1 is cleaved by the endoprotease Ddi2 (Koizumi et al, 2016; Lehrbach and Ruvkun, 2016; Sha and Goldberg, 2016). The released fragment enters the nucleus and induces expression of all 26S subunits, p97, and its cofactors.…”

“…This protein is an ER-targeted glycoprotein (Wang and Chan 2006;Zhang et al 2007) that is constitutively turned over by the proteasome in a Cdc48-dependent fashion (Radhakrishnan et al 2014). When proteasome function is compromised, Nrf1 levels accumulate and the protein is proteolytically cleaved by the proteasome itself (Sha and Goldberg 2014), or by an aspartyl protease (Koizumi et al 2016;Lehrbach and Ruvkun 2016), prior to activating proteasome gene expression…”
