Identification of essential sequences for cellular localization in the muscle‐specific ubiquitin E3 ligase MAFbx/Atrogin 1

Abstract: a b s t r a c tIn skeletal muscle atrophy, upregulation and nuclear accumulation of the Ubiquitin E3 ligase MAFbx is essential for accelerated muscle protein loss, but the nuclear/cytoplasmic shuttling of MAFbx is undefined. Here we found that MAFbx contains two functional nuclear localization signals (NLS). Mutation or deletion of only one NLS induced cytoplasmic localization of MAFbx. We identified a non-classical NES located in the leucine charged domain (LCD) of MAFbx, which is leptomycin B insensitive. We… Show more

“…Our Western blot using atrogin-1 antibody could not detect a significant decrease after resveratrol supplementation. Since atrogin-1 exhibits movable components between the nucleus and cytosol 31 , atrogin-1 only changes the localization and does not cause volumetric changes. The protein analysis in this study was conducted to utilize crude homogenate using whole muscle but not fractionated homogenate with the division of components such as the nucleus, cytosol, and membrane.…”

“…FBXO32 lacks leucine-rich repeats or WD40 repeats but it does contain a class II PDZ domain (2), which interacts with specific sequences at the carboxyl terminus of the target proteins (3,4). In addition, FBXO32 also contains two nuclear localization signals, which suggests that it may target transcription factors or other nuclear proteins for ubiquitination (5).…”

“…Other E3 ubiquitin ligases, such as Smurf2 [55], FBXW7 [56], HERC2 [57], or MAFbx [58], have been shown to change intracellular localization upon certain stimuli. Such protein translocation between different subcellular compartments is an essential part of biological and pathological processes.…”
