PAQR9 Modulates BAG6-mediated protein quality control of mislocalized membrane proteins.
Protein quality control is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and its dysfunction is closely linked to human diseases. The post-translational protein quality control machinery mainly composed of BCL-2-associated athanogene 6 (BAG6) is responsible for triage of mislocalized membrane proteins (MLPs). However, it is unknown how the BAG6-mediated degradation of MLPs ... is regulated. We report here that PAQR9, a member of the Progesterone and AdipoQ receptor (PAQR) family, is able to modulate BAG6-mediated triage of MLPs. Analysis with mass spectrometry identified that BAG6 is one of the major proteins interacting with PAQR9 and such interaction is confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation and co-localization assays. The protein degradation rate of representative MLPs is accelerated by PAQR9 knockdown. Consistently, the polyubiquitination of MLPs is enhanced by PAQR9 knockdown. PAQR9 binds to the DUF3538 domain within the proline-rich stretch of BAG6. PAQR9 reduces the binding of MLPs to BAG6 in a DUF3538 domain-dependent manner. Taken together, our results indicate that PAQR9 plays a role in the regulation of protein quality control of MLPs via affecting the interaction of BAG6 with membrane proteins.
