Abstract
The small GTPase Rab8 plays a vital role in the vesicular trafficking of cargo proteins from the trans-Golgi network to target membranes. Upon reaching its target destination, Rab8 is released from the vesicular membrane into the cytoplasm via guanosine triphosphate (GTP) hydrolysis. The fate of GDP-bound Rab8 released from the destination membranes, however, has not been investigated adequately. In this study, we found that GDP-bound Rab8 subfamily proteins are targeted for immediate degradation, and the pre-emptive quality control machinery is responsible for eliminating these proteins in a nucleotide-specific manner. We provide evidence that components of this quality control machinery have a critical role in vesicular trafficking events, including the formation of primary cilia, a process regulated by the Rab8 subfamily. These results suggest that the protein degradation machinery plays a critical role in the integrity of membrane trafficking by limiting the excessive accumulation of GDP-bound Rab8 subfamily proteins.

Song H, Chen D, Bai R, Feng Y, Wu S, Wang T, Xia X, Li J, Miao YL, Zuo B, Li F. BCL2-associated athanogene 6 exon24 contributes to testosterone synthesis and male fertility in mammals. Cell Prolif 2022; 55:e13281. [PMID: 35688694 PMCID: PMC9251057 DOI: 10.1111/cpr.13281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2022] [Revised: 05/10/2022] [Accepted: 05/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives BCL2‐associated athanogene 6 (BAG6) plays critical roles in spermatogenesis by maintaining testicular cell survival. Our previous data showed porcine BAG6 exon24‐skipped transcript is highly expressed in immature testes compared with mature testes. The objective of this study is to reveal the functional significance of BAG6 exon24 in mammalian spermatogenesis. Materials and Methods CRISPR/Cas9 system was used to generate Bag6 exon24 knockout mice. Testes and cauda epididymal sperm were collected from mice. TMT proteomics analysis was used to discover the protein differences induced by Bag6 exon24 deletion. Testosterone enanthate was injected into mice to generate a high‐testosterone mice model. H&E staining, qRT‐PCR, western blotting, vector/siRNA transfection, immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, transmission electron microscopy, TUNEL and ELISA were performed to investigate the phenotypes and molecular basis. Results Bag6 exon24 knockout mice show sub‐fertility along with partially impaired blood‐testis barrier, increased apoptotic testicular cell rate and abnormal sperm morphology. Endoplasmic reticulum stress occurs in Bag6 exon24‐deficient testes and sterol regulatory element‐binding transcription factor 2 is activated; as a result, cytochrome P450 family 51 subfamily A member 1 expression is up‐regulated, which causes a high serum testosterone level. Additionally, serine/arginine‐rich splicing factor 1 down‐regulates BAG6 exon24‐skipped transcripts in porcine Sertoli cells by binding to 35–51 nt on BAG6 exon24 via its N‐terminal RNA‐recognition domain. Conclusions Our findings reveal the critical roles of BAG6 exon24 in testosterone biosynthesis and male fertility, which provides new insights into the regulation of spermatogenesis and pathogenesis of subfertility in mammals.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disorder is the major health burden and cause of death among individuals worldwide. As the cardiomyocytes lack the ability for self-renewal, it is utmost necessary to surveil the protein quality in the cells. The Bcl-2 associated anthanogene protein (BAG) family and molecular chaperones (HSP70, HSP90) actively participate in maintaining cellular protein quality control (PQC) to limit cellular dysfunction in the cells. The BAG family contains a unique BAG domain which facilitates their interaction with the ATPase domain of the heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) to assist in protein folding. Among the BAG family members (BAG1-6), BAG5 protein is unique since it has five domains in tandem, and the binding of BD5 induces certain conformational changes in the nucleotide-binding domain (NBD) of HSP70 such that it loses its affinity for binding to ADP and results in enhanced protein refolding activity of HSP70. In this review, we shall describe the role of BAG5 in modulating mitophagy, endoplasmic stress, and cellular viability. Also, we have highlighted the interaction of BAG5 with other proteins, including PINK, DJ-1, CHIP, and their role in cellular PQC. Apart from this, we have described the role of BAG5 in cellular metabolism and aging.
