| Research Abstract |
The E3 ubiquitin ligase HRD1 is found in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane (ER) of brain neurons and is involved in ER-associated degradation. We previously demonstrated that suppression of HRD1 expression in neurons causes accumulation of amyloid precursor protein, resulting in amyloid beta (Abeta) production associated with ER stress and apoptosis. Furthermore, HRD1 levels are significantly decreased in the cerebral cortex of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients because of its insolubility. The mechanisms that affect HRD1 solubility are not well understood. We here show that HRD1 protein was insolubilized by oxidative stress. Furthermore, we reveal that modifications of HRD1 by 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal decreases HRD1 solubility and the oxidative stress led to the accumulation of HRD1 into the aggresome. Thus, oxidative stress-induced HRD1 insolubilization might be involved in a vicious cycle of increased Abeta production and Abeta-induced oxidative stress in AD pathogenesis.
