Abstract
RILP is a downstream effector of the Rab7 GTPase. GTP-bound Rab7 recruits RILP on endosomal membranes and, together, they control late endocytic traffic, phagosome and autophagosome maturation and are responsible for signaling receptor degradation. We have identified, using different approaches, the V1G1 subunit of the vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) as a RILP interacting protein. V1G1 is a component of the peripheral stalk and it is fundamental for correct V-ATPase assembly. We established that RILP regulates the recruitment of V1G1 subunit to late endosomal/lysosomal membranes but also controls V1G1 stability. Indeed, we demonstrated that V1G1 is ubiquitinated and that RILP is responsible for proteasomal degradation of V1G1. Furthermore, we demonstrated that alterations of V1G1 expression levels impair V-ATPase activity. Thus, our data demonstrate for the first time that RILP regulates the activity of the V-ATPase through the interaction with V1G1. Given the importance of V-ATPase in several cellular processes and human diseases, these data suggest that modulation of RILP activity could be used to control V-ATPase function.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
