Ubiquitin-specific protease 8 deubiquitinates Sec31A and decreases large COPII carriers and collagen IV secretion.
Nascent cargo proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum are transported to the Golgi by COPII carriers. Typical COPII vesicles are 60-70 nm in diameter, and much larger macromolecules, such as procollagen, are transported by atypical large COPII carriers in mammalian cells. The formation of large COPII carriers is enhanced by Cul3 ubiquitin ... ligase, which mono-ubiquitinates Sec31A, a COPII coat protein. However, the deubiquitinating enzyme for Sec31A was unclear. Here, we show that the deubiquitinating enzyme USP8 interacts with and deubiquitinates Sec31A. The interaction was mediated by the adaptor protein STAM1. USP8 overexpression inhibited the formation of large COPII carriers. By contrast, USP8 knockdown caused the accumulation of COPII coat proteins around the cis-Golgi, promoted the intracellular trafficking of procollagen IV from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi, and increased collagen IV secretion. We concluded that USP8 deubiquitinates Sec31A and inhibits the formation of large COPII carriers, thereby suppressing collagen IV secretion.
