Recently, Maxwell et al. 1 revealed a critical function of ubiquitylation in stress granule (SG) disassembly upon recovery from heat stress. Organisms are continuously exposed to endogenous or environmental stress. Genotoxic stress endangers DNA integrity, whereas proteotoxic stress causes an imbalance in protein homeostasis (proteostasis). Genotoxic insults activate DNA damage response pathways that halt the cell-cycle progression and initiate DNA repair. Protein quality control (PQC) systems in turn safeguard the integrity of the proteome and prepare for the restart of cellular activities upon stress release. Both genome and proteome integrity pathways are orchestrated by ubiquitin signaling and the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Here, we highlight very recent elegant recent work by the Taylor laboratory providing novel insight into how cells exploit the ubiquitin system for recovery from heat stress. 1, 2 Proteostasis is accomplished by a network of pathways that balance protein synthesis, folding, transport, and disposal. Proteotoxic stress disturbs the equilibrium of these processes and typically induces the misfolding of nascent and mature proteins, which can ultimately lead to their loss of function or trigger the formation of toxic protein aggregates. Neurodegenerative diseases are prime examples of protein misfolding diseases (aka proteinopathies), in which protein aggregates impair critical cellular functions and cause irreversible damage to cells, tissues, and organs. As one line of defense against protein misfolding, chaperone systems are activated. As a second line, misfolded proteins are cleared by the autophagosome/lysosome or the UPS. The inhibition of splicing, nucleocytoplasmic transport, and protein synthesis serves as an additional safeguard mechanism for maintaining protein homeostasis under stress by avoiding further influx into the overloaded proteostasis systems. The limitation of translation is tightly linked to the formation of distinct cytosolic ribonucleoprotein condensates, termed SGs. SG formation is triggered by the accumulation of ribosome-free mRNAs generated upon stalling of translation initiation. The transient storage of these mRNAs together with translation factors and other RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in SGs ensures cell survival during stress and enables rapid SG disassembly and translation re-initiation upon recovery from stress. Importantly, impaired SG disassembly is linked to some neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. It is well established that in response to proteotoxic stress the UPS functions as a major PQC system by removing misfolded proteins. Accordingly, ubiquitylation is strongly induced in response to heat or oxidative stress. However, the specific subset of proteins undergoing ubiquitylation in response to distinct stimuli has remained largely elusive. Further, the contribution of ubiquitylation to stress resilience beyond the disposal of misfolded proteins is not well understood. In particular, the role of ubiquitylation in the dynamics of SG has remained controversial. 3 In the canonical ubiquitylation pathway ubiquitin is covalently conjugated to lysine (K) residues of target proteins by an enzymatic cascade, comprised of E1-activating enzymes, E2-conjugating enzymes, and E3 ligases. Ubiquitylation can form different types of lysine-linked polymeric chains that trigger distinct downstream processes. Proteins marked with K48-chains are typically targeted to the proteasome for proteolytic degradation, whereas other chain-types mediate proteasome-independent nonproteolytic signaling functions, as exemplified by K63-linked chains that mediate …
