Abstract

AbstractMaintenance of cellular health requires the proper regulation of E3 ubiquitin ligases. The E3 ligase CHIP is canonically regulated by its interactions with the molecular chaperones Hsp70 and Hsp90, which focus CHIP’s ubiquitination activity on misfolded proteins. Here, we report a chaperone-independent interaction of CHIP with the membrane-anchored protein CHIC2, which strongly attenuates CHIP’s ligase activity. We show that CHIC2 outcompetes abundant, cytosolic chaperones through its exquisite CHIP selectivity, rather than through enhanced affinity. In proteomic experiments, we find that CHIC2 knockout phenocopies CHIP knockout in certain cell types, implying that chaperone-independent interactions can sometimes predominate CHIP’s functions. Furthermore, loss of the CHIP-CHIC2 interaction induces neurodegeneration and shortens lifespan inC. elegans, demonstrating that formation of this chaperone-independent complex is important in animals. We propose that CHIC2 attenuates CHIP activity at the membrane, offering a novel mechanism by which this ubiquitin ligase can be regulated.
