Covalent conjugation of ubiquitin to proteins is temperature-sensitive in the mouse [mammary carcinoma FM3A] cell cycle mutant ts85, due to a specifically thermolabile ubiquitin-activating enzyme (accompanying paper). Degradation of short-lived proteins is also temperature sensitive in ts85, in contrast to wild-type and revertant cells. While > 70% of the prelabeled abnormal proteins (containing amino acid analogs) or puromycyl peptides are degraded within 4 h at the permissive temperature in both ts85 and wild-type cells, < 15% are degraded in ts85 cells at the nonpermissive temperature. Degradation of abnormal proteins and puromycyl peptides, in both ts85 cells and wild-type cells, is nonlysosomal and ATP-dependent. Immunochemical analysis shows a strong and specific reduction in the levels of in vivo labeled ubiquitin-protein conjugates at the nonpermissive temperature, in ts85 cells. Degradation of normal, short-lived proteins is also specifically temperature sensitive in ts85. The contribution of ubiquitin-independent pathways to the degradation of short-lived proteins in this higher eukaryotic cell is no more than 10%, and possibly less.
