STABILON, a Novel Sequence Motif That Enhances the Expression and Accumulation of Intracellular and Secreted Proteins
The dynamic balance of transcriptional and translational regulation together with degron-controlled proteolysis shapes the ever-changing cellular proteome. While a large variety of degradation signals has been characterized, our knowledge of <i>cis</i>-acting protein motifs that can in v...

description | The dynamic balance of transcriptional and translational regulation together with degron-controlled proteolysis shapes the ever-changing cellular proteome. While a large variety of degradation signals has been characterized, our knowledge of <i>cis</i>-acting protein motifs that can in vivo stabilize otherwise short-lived proteins is very limited. We have identified and characterized a conserved 13-mer protein segment derived from the p54/Rpn10 ubiquitin receptor subunit of the <i>Drosophila</i> 26S proteasome, which fulfills all the characteristics of a protein stabilization motif (STABILON). Attachment of STABILON to various intracellular as well as medically relevant secreted model proteins resulted in a significant increase in their cellular or extracellular concentration in mammalian cells. We demonstrate that STABILON acts as a universal and dual function motif that, on the one hand, increases the concentration of the corresponding mRNAs and, on the other hand, prevents the degradation of short-lived fusion proteins. Therefore, STABILON may lead to a breakthrough in biomedical recombinant protein production. |
