In vitro evidence indicates that the mammalian gp78 protein is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that facilitates ERAD by polyubiquitinating and targeting proteins for proteasomal degradation under both physiologic and stress conditions. However, the in vivo function of gp78 in maintaining ER protein homeostasis remains untested. Here we show that like its mammalian counterpart, the zebrafish gp78 is also an E3 ubiquitin ligase as revealed by in vitro ubiquitination assays. Expression analysis uncovered that gp78 is highly expressed in several organs, including liver and brain, of both larval and adult fish. Treatment of larvae or adult fish with tunicamycin induces ER stress and upregulates the expression of several key components of the gp78 ERAD complex in the liver. Moreover, liver-specific overexpression of the dominant-negative form of gp78 （gp78-R2M） renders liver more sensitive to tunicamycin-induced ER stress and enhances the expression of sterol response element binding protein （Srebp）-target genes, which was largely suppressed in fish overexpressing wild-type gp78. Together, these data indicate that gp78 plays a critical role in protecting against ER stress in liver.展开更多
