From the The latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1) of the
Epstein-Barr virus is a constitutively active receptor essential for B
lymphocyte transformation by the Epstein-Barr virus. It is a
short-lived protein, but the proteolytic pathway involved in its
degradation is not known. The ubiquitin pathway is a major system for
specific protein degradation in eukaryotes. Most plasma membrane
substrates of the pathway are internalized upon ubiquitination and
delivered for degradation in the lysosome/vacuole. Here we show that
LMP1 is a substrate of the ubiquitin pathway and is ubiquitinated both in vitro and in vivo. However, in contrast to
other plasma membrane substrates of the ubiquitin system, it is
degraded mostly by the proteasome and not by lysosomes. Degradation is
independent of the single Lys residue of the protein; a lysine-less
mutant LMP1 is degraded in a ubiquitin- and
proteasome-dependent manner similar to the wild type
protein. Degradation of both wild type and lysine-less protein is
sensitive to fusion of a Myc tag to the N terminus of LMP1. In
addition, deletion of as few as 12 N-terminal amino acid residues
stabilizes the protein. These findings suggest that the first event in
LMP1 degradation is attachment of ubiquitin to the N-terminal residue
of the protein. We present evidence suggesting that phosphorylation is
also required for degradation of LMP1.
