Formation of COPI-coated transport vesicles requires a cytosolic protein complex consisting of seven subunits: α-, β-, β′-, γ-, δ-, ε- and ζ-COP, collectively designated coatomer. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiaegene encoding the ε-COP subunit is known asSEC28/ANU2. anu2 null mutant cells (anu2Δ) are temperature-sensitive, and α-COP is rapidly degraded in these cells when they are shifted to the restrictive temperature. We isolated extragenic suppressors that rescue the temperature-sensitive growth defect of anu2Δ cells. Genetic analysis revealed that one of the suppressors is allelic toPRE8 (PRS4), which encodes a 20 S proteasome subunit. In the presence of a proteasome inhibitor, MG132,anu2Δ cells did not cease growth even at the restrictive temperature. Furthermore, MG132 inhibited the rapid decrease of α-COP levels in anu2Δ cells shifted to the restrictive temperature. However, secretion of certain proteins by these cells was impaired even in the presence of MG132. In conclusion, impairment of proteasome-dependent proteolysis rescued some, but not all, temperature-sensitive defects of anu2Δ cells. These results are discussed in terms of evidence that ε-COP plays a critical role in maintaining the structural integrity of α-COP.
