摘要

In eukaryotic cells, the oxidative folding of secreted proteins takes place in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Proteins that fail to fold into their native structure are removed from the ER by the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) machinery. In this study, we first identified in a bioinformatics analysis, and subsequently biochemically characterized a novel protein that is involved in this process - the ER-flavoprotein associated with degradation (ERFAD). Human ERFAD is a flavoprotein that interacts with three partners: ERp90, OS-9 and SEL1L. ERp90 is a novel member of the protein disulfide isomerase family while SEL1L and OS-9 are important and well-characterized components of the ERAD machinery. The interaction between ERFADrnand SEL1L as well as ERFAD and OS-9 provided a link to ERAD. Indeed, the degradation of an ERAD-model substrate and the accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins are significantly delayed when ERFAD is down-regulated by siRNA-mediated knockdown. Below, we show that the novel protein ERFAD functions in a multiprotein complex and that it is involved in ERAD. Finally, using recombinantly expressed purified protein we could show that ERFAD binds FAD that can be reduced by NADPH. We therefore speculate that ERFAD which is unique in the ER in its binding of both FAD and NADPH performs a previously unrecognized redox activity in ERAD.
