TRC8/RNF139 encodes an ER-resident E3-ubiquitin ligase that inhibits growth in a RING- and ubiquitylation-dependent manner. TRC8 also contains a predicted sterol-sensing domain. Here we report that TRC8 protein levels are sterol-responsive, and that it binds and stimulates ubiquitylation of the ER-anchor protein, INSIG. Induction of TRC8 destabilized the precursor forms of the transcription factors, SREBP-1 and SREBP-2. Loss of SREBP precursors was proteasome-dependent, required a functional RING domain, occurred without generating processed nuclear forms and suppressed SREBP target genes. TRC8 knockdown had opposite effects in sterol-deprived cells. In Drosophila, growth inhibition by DTrc8 was genetically suppressed by loss of specific MPN domain-containing proteins found in the COP9 signalosome and eIF3. DTrc8 genetically and physicially interacted with two eIF3 subunits, eIF3f and eIF3h. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments confirmed these interactions in mammalian cells and TRC8 over-expression suppressed polysome profiles. Moreover, high molecular weight ubiquitylated proteins were observed in eIF3 immunoprecipitations from TRC8 over-expressing cells. Thus, TRC8 function may provide a regulatory link between the lipid and protein biosynthetic pathways.
