Popis: Abstract Inhibitors of the integrated stress response (ISR) have been used to explore the potential beneficial effects of reducing the activation of this pathway in diseases. As the ISR is in essence a protective response, there is, however, a risk that inhibition may compromise the cell’s ability to restore protein homeostasis. Here, we show that the experimental compound ISRIB impairs degradation of proteins by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) during proteotoxic stress in the cytosolic, but not nuclear, compartment. Accumulation of a UPS reporter substrate that is intercepted by ribosome quality control was comparable to the level observed after blocking the UPS with a proteasome inhibitor. Consistent with impairment of the cytosolic UPS, ISRIB treatment caused an accumulation of polyubiquitylated and detergent insoluble defective ribosome products (DRiPs) in the presence of puromycin. Our data suggest that the persistent protein translation during proteotoxic stress in the absence of a functional ISR increases the pool of DRiPs, thereby hindering the efficient clearance of cytosolic substrates by the UPS.
