Abstract
TMEPAI (transmembrane prostate androgen-induced protein, also called prostate transmembrane protein, androgen-induced 1 (PMEPA1)) is a type I transmembrane (TM) protein, but its cellular function is largely unknown. Here, studying factors influencing the stability of c-Maf, a critical transcription factor in multiple myeloma (MM), we found that TMEPAI induced c-Maf degradation. We observed that TMEPAI recruited NEDD4 (neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down-regulated 4), a WW domain-containing ubiquitin ligase, to c-Maf, leading to its degradation through the proteasomal pathway. Further investigation revealed that TMEPAI interacts with NEDD4 via its conserved PY motifs. Alanine substitution or deletion of these motifs abrogated the TMEPAI complex formation with NEDD4, resulting in failed c-Maf degradation. Functionally, TMEPAI suppressed the transcriptional activity of c-Maf. Of note, increased TMEPAI expression was positively associated with the overall survival of MM patients. Moreover, TMEPAI was down-regulated in MM cells, and re-expression of TMEPAI induced MM cell apoptosis. In conclusion, this study highlights that TMEPAI decreases c-Maf stability by recruiting the ubiquitin ligase NEDD4 to c-Maf for prote...Continue Reading
