چکیده

Lipid esters stored in cytoplasmic lipid droplets (CLDs) of hepatocytes are used to synthesize very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs), into which apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is integrated cotranslationally. In the present study, by using Huh7 cells, derived from human hepatoma and competent for VLDL secretion, we found that ApoB is highly concentrated around CLDs to make “ApoB-crescents.” ApoB-crescents were seen in <10% of Huh7 cells under normal conditions, but the ratio increased to nearly 50% after 12 h of proteasomal inhibition by N-acetyl-L-leucinyl-L-leucinyl-L-norleucinal. Electron microscopy showed ApoB to be localized to a cluster of electron-lucent particles 50–100 nm in diameter adhering to CLDs. ApoB, proteasome subunits, and ubiquitinated proteins were detected in the CLD fraction, and this ApoB was ubiquitinated. Interestingly, proteasome inhibition also caused increases in autophagic vacuoles and ApoB in lysosomes. ApoB-crescents began to decrease after 12–24 h of proteasomal inhibition, but the decrease was blocked by an autophagy inhibitor, 3-methyladenine. Inhibition of autophagy alone caused an increase in ApoB-crescents. These observations indicate that both proteasomal and autophagy/lysosomal degradation of ApoB occur around CLDs and that the CLD surface functions as a unique platform for convergence of the two pathways.

Derlin-1 and UBXD8 are engaged in dislocation and degradation of lipidated ApoB-100 at lipid droplets

Apolipoprotein B-100 (ApoB) is the principal component of very low density lipoprotein. Poorly lipidated nascent ApoB is extracted from the Sec61 translocon and degraded by proteasomes. ApoB lipidated in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lumen is also subjected to proteasomal degradation, but where and how it dislocates to the cytoplasm remain unknown. In the present study, we demonstrate that Apo...

Epigallocatechin gallate increases the formation of cytosolic lipid droplets and decreases the secretion of apoB-100 VLDL.

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) increases the formation of cytosolic lipid droplets by a mechanism that is independent of the rate of triglyceride biosynthesis and involves an enhanced fusion between lipid droplets, a process that is crucial for their growth in size. EGCG treatment reduced the secretion of both triglycerides and apolipoprotein B-100 (apoB-100) VLDLs but not of transferrin, albu...

Mammalian Atg2 proteins are essential for autophagosome formation and important for regulation of size and distribution of lipid droplets

Macroautophagy is an intracellular degradation system by which cytoplasmic materials are enclosed by the autophagosome and delivered to the lysosome. Autophagosome formation is considered to take place on the endoplasmic reticulum and involves functions of autophagy-related (Atg) proteins. Here, we report the identification and characterization of mammalian Atg2 homologues Atg2A and Atg2B. Simu...

Mechanisms targeting apolipoprotein B100 to proteasomal degradation: evidence that degradation is initiated by BiP binding at the N terminus and the formation of a p97 complex at the C terminus.

OBJECTIVE In lipid-poor states, the ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway rapidly degrades misfolded apolipoprotein B100 (apoB) cotranslationally, although the mechanism of delivery from the ER to cytosolic proteasomes is poorly understood. Here we demonstrate key roles of BiP, an ER luminal chaperone, and p97, a cytosolic ATPase anchored to the ER membrane, in the targeting of apoB for proteasomal deg...
