Popis: Proper control of gene expression levels upon various perturbations is a fundamental aspect of cellular robustness. Protein-level dosage compensation is one mechanism buffering perturbations to stoichiometry of multiprotein complexes through accelerated proteolysis of unassembled subunits. Although N-terminal acetylation- and ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation by the Ac/N-end rule pathway enables selective compensation of excess subunits, it is unclear how widespread this pathway contributes to stoichiometry control. Here we report that dosage compensation depends only partially on the Ac/N-end rule pathway. Our analysis of genetic interactions between 18 subunits and 12 quality control factors in budding yeast demonstrated that multiple E3 ubiquitin ligases and N-acetyltransferases are involved in dosage compensation. We find that N-acetyltransferases-mediated compensation is not simply predictable from N-terminal sequence despite their sequence specificity for N-acetylation. We also find that the compensation of Pop3 and Bet4 is due in large part to a minor N-acetyltransferase NatD. Furthermore, canonical NatD substrates histone H2A/H4 were compensated even in its absence, suggesting N-acetylation-independent stoichiometry control. Our study reveals the complexity and robustness of the stoichiometry control system.
Author summary Quality control of multiprotein complexes is important for maintaining homeostasis in cellular systems that are based on functional complexes. Proper stoichiometry of multiprotein complexes is achieved by the balance between protein synthesis and degradation. Recent studies showed that translation efficiency tends to scale with stoichiometry of their subunits. On the other hand, although protein N-terminal acetylation- and ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis pathway is involved in selective degradation of excess subunits, it is unclear how widespread this pathway contributes to stoichiometry control due to the lack of a systematic investigation using endogenous proteins. To better understand the landscape of the stoichiometry control system, we examined genetic interactions between 18 subunits and 12 quality control factors (E3 ubiquitin ligases and N-acetyltransferases), in total 114 combinations. Our data suggest that N-acetyltransferases are partially responsible for stoichiometry control and that N-acetylation-independent pathway is also involved in selective degradation of excess subunits. Therefore, this study reveals the complexity and robustness of the stoichiometry control system. Further dissection of this complexity will help to understand the mechanisms buffering gene expression perturbations and shaping proteome stoichiometry.
