Popis: Recent evidence has implicated CHIP (carboxyl terminus of Hsc/Hsp70-interacting protein), a co-chaperone and ubiquitin ligase, in the functional support of several metabolism-related proteins, including AMPK and SirT6. In addition to previously reported aging and stress intolerance phenotypes, we find that CHIP -/- mice also demonstrate a Type II diabetes-like phenotype, including poor glucose tolerance, decreased sensitivity to insulin, and decreased insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in isolated skeletal muscle, characteristic of insulin resistance. In CHIP-deficient cells, glucose stimulation fails to induce translocation of Glut4 to the plasma membrane. This impairment in Glut4 translocation in CHIP-deficient cells is accompanied by decreased tubulin polymerization associated with decreased phosphorylation of stathmin, a microtubule-associated protein required for polymerization-dependent protein trafficking within the cell. Together, these data describe a novel role for CHIP in regulating microtubule polymerization that assists in glucose transporter translocation, promoting whole-body glucose homeostasis and sensitivity to insulin.
