NAD⁺-Dependent Enzymes at the Endoplasmic Reticulum

Abstract

The post-translational modifications of proteins by mono- and poly-ADP-ribosylation involve the cleavage of βNAD⁺, with the release of its nicotinamide moiety, accompanied by the transfer of a single (mono) or several (poly) ADP-ribose molecules from βNAD⁺ to a specific amino-acid residue of various cellular proteins. Thus, both mono- and poly-ADP-ribosylation are NAD⁺-consuming reactions. ADP-ribosylation reactions have been reported to have important roles in the nucleus, and in mitochondrial activity. Distinct subcellular NAD⁺ pools have been identified, not only in the nucleus and the mitochondria, but also in the endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisomes. Recent reports have shed new light on the correlation between NAD⁺-dependent ADP-ribosylation reactions and the endoplasmic reticulum. We have demonstrated that ARTD15/PARP16 is a novel mono-ADP-ribosyltransferase with a new intracellular location, as it is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is a membranous network of tubules, vesicles, and cisternae that are interconnected in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. This intracellular compartment is responsible for many cellular functions, including facilitation of protein folding and assembly, biosynthesis of lipids, storage of intracellular Ca²⁺, and transport of proteins. ARTD15 might have a role in both the nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling, through importinβ1 mono-ADP-ribosylation, and in the unfolded protein response through its ability to ADP-ribosylate two components of this pathway: PERK and IRE1. This review summarizes our present knowledge of the enzymes and targets involved in ADP-ribosylation reactions, with special regard to the novel regulatory reactions that occurs at the level of the endoplasmic reticulum, and that can affect the function of this organelle.

The Ubiquitin Gene Expression Pattern and Sensitivity to UBB and UBC Knockdown Differentiate Primary 23132/87 and Metastatic MKN45 Gastric Cancer Cells

“…The interaction of FasL with the transmembrane protein Fas indeed leads to the activation of caspase 8 and caspase 3, inducing the extrinsic apoptotic pathway [ 28 , 50 ]. Apoptosis is a tightly controlled process, characterized by three pathways, namely, the mitochondrial [ 28 ], endoplasmic reticulum [ 51 ] and death receptor signaling pathways [ 28 ]. Interestingly, Zhang et al have demonstrated, in several cancer cell lines, that the oncoprotein Cysteine-rich intestinal protein 1 (CRIP1) can interact with Fas, enhancing its ubiquitination and degradation and leading to inhibition of caspases 8 and 3, thus underlining the tumor suppressor role of this transmembrane protein [ 52 ].…”

A novel crosstalk between BRCA1 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 in breast cancer

“…20 In this regard, the activation of PARP1 by BRCA1 inhibition may decrease the excess autophagy induced by oxidative stress; (iii) endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress signaling plays an important role in the induction of BRCA1 expression. 21 Mounting evidence has indicated that distinct NAD pools, 22 NAD-dependent PARP1 23 and SIRT1 function 24 all have an important role in the ER; and (iv) it is well known that aberrant proliferation is critical for cancer progression. A substantial body of evidence indicates that loss of function of the tumor suppressor gene BRCA1 plays an important role in promoting cancer cell proliferation and survival.…”

Adp-Ribosylation as Post-Translational Modification of Proteins: Use of Inhibitors in Cancer Control

“…ARTD15/PARP16 associates with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) [146][147][148][149]. It is a single-pass transmembrane protein with the N-terminal region (amino acids 1-280) facing the cytoplasm, and a C-terminal tail facing the ER lumen.…”
