説明

Disrupted proteostasis causes various degenerative diseases, and organelle homeostasis is therefore maintained by elaborate mechanisms. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced preemptive quality control (ERpQC) counteracts stress by reducing ER load through inhibiting the translocation of newly synthesized proteins into the ER for their rapid degradation in the cytoplasm. Here, we show that Sec61β, a translocon component, prevents the overproduction of ERpQC substrates, allowing for their efficient degradation by the proteasome. Sec61β inhibits the binding of translation initiation factor eIF4E to the mRNA 5' cap structure by recruiting E3 ligase ARIH1 and eIF4E-homologous protein 4EHP, resulting in selective translational repression of ERpQC substrates. Sec61β deficiency causes overproduction of ERpQC substrates and reduces proteasome activity, leading to cytoplasmic aggresome formation. We also show that Sec61β deficiency causes motor dysfunction in zebrafish, which is restored by exogenous ARIH1 expression. Collectively, translational repression of ERpQC substrates by the Sec61β-ARIH1 complex contributes to maintain ER and cytoplasmic proteostasis.
