VCP/p97 increases BMP signaling by accelerating ubiquitin ligase Smurf1 degradation.
FASEB Journal : Official Publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology 2018 October 19
The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-Smad signaling pathway plays a crucial role in the control of bone homeostasis by regulating osteoblast activity. It is known that the ubiquitin ligase Smad ubiquitination regulatory factor (Smurf)1 is a master negative regulator of BMP signaling, but how its stability and activity are regulated remains poorly understood. Our study showed that valosin-containing protein/p97, the mutations of which lead to rare forms of Paget's disease of bone (PDB)-like syndrome-such as inclusion body myopathy (IBM) associated with Paget's disease of bone and frontotemporal dementia (IBM-PFD)-together with its adaptor nuclear protein localization (NPL)4, specifically interact with Smurf1 and deliver the ubiquitinated Smurf1 for degradation. Depletion of either p97 or NPL4 resulted in the elevation of Smurf1 protein level and decreased BMP signaling accordingly. Mechanically, a typical proline, glutamic acid, serine, and threonine motif specifically existing in Smurf1 is necessary for its recognition and degradation by p97, and this process is dependent on p97 ATPase activity. More importantly, compared with p97 WT, PDB-associated mutation of p97 (mainly A232E) harboring the higher ATPase activity of p97 further promoted Smurf1 degradation, thus increasing BMP signaling activity. Our findings first establish a link between p97 and Smurf1, providing an in-depth understanding of how Smurf1 is regulated, as well as the mechanism of p97-related bone diseases.-Li, H., Cui, Y., Wei, J., Liu, C., Chen, Y., Cui, C.-P., Li, L., Zhang, X., Zhang, L.
