Abstract

The PEX1/PEX6 AAA-ATPase is required for the biogenesis and maintenance of peroxisomes. Mutations in HsPEX1 and HsPEX6 disrupt peroxisomal matrix protein import and are the leading cause of Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorders (PBDs). The most common disease-causing mutation in PEX1 is the HsPEX1G843D allele, which results in a reduction of peroxisomal protein import. Here we demonstrate that in vitro the homologous yeast mutant, ScPex1G700D, reduces the stability of Pex1's active D2 ATPase domain and impairs assembly with Pex6, but can still form an active AAA-ATPase motor. In vivo, ScPex1G700D exhibits only a slight defect in peroxisome import. We generated model human HsPEX1G843D cell lines and show that PEX1G843D is rapidly degraded by the proteasome, but that induced overexpression of PEX1G843D can restore peroxisome import. Additionally, we found that the G843D mutation reduces PEX1's affinity for PEX6, and that impaired assembly is sufficient to induce degradation of PEX1WT. Lastly, we found that fusing a deubiquitinase to PEX1G843D significantly hinders its degradation in mammalian cells. Altogether, our findings suggest a novel regulatory mechanism for PEX1/PEX6 hexamer assembly and highlight the potential of protein stabilization as a therapeutic strategy for PBDs arising from the G843D mutation and other PEX1 hypomorphs.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Biological Chemistry welcomes high-quality science that seeks to elucidate the molecular and cellular basis of biological processes. Papers published in JBC can therefore fall under the umbrellas of not only biological chemistry, chemical biology, or biochemistry, but also allied disciplines such as biophysics, systems biology, RNA biology, immunology, microbiology, neurobiology, epigenetics, computational biology, ’omics, and many more. The outcome of our focus on papers that contribute novel and important mechanistic insights, rather than on a particular topic area, is that JBC is truly a melting pot for scientists across disciplines. In addition, JBC welcomes papers that describe methods that will help scientists push their biochemical inquiries forward and resources that will be of use to the research community.
