Growth factors suppress the degradation of
cellular proteins in lysosomes in renal epithelial
cells. Whether this process also involves specific classes of
proteins that influence growth processes is unknown. We investigated
chaperone-mediated autophagy, a lysosomal import pathway that depends
on the 73-kDa heat shock cognate protein and allows the degradation of
proteins containing a specific lysosomal import consensus sequence
(KFERQ motif). Epidermal growth factor (EGF) or ammonia, but not
transforming growth factor 1, suppresses total protein breakdown in
cultured NRK-52E renal epithelial cells. EGF or ammonia prolonged the
half-life of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, a classic
substrate for chaperone-mediated autophagy, by more than 90%, whereas
transforming growth factor 1 did not. EGF caused a similar increase
in the half-life of the KFERQ-containing paired box-related
transcription factor, Pax2. The increase in half-life was accompanied
by an increased accumulation of proteins with a KFERQ motif including glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and Pax2. Ammonia also increased the level of the Pax2 protein. Lysosomal import of KFERQ proteins depends on the abundance of the 96-kDa lysosomal glycoprotein protein (lgp96), and we found that EGF caused a significant decrease in
lgp96 in cellular homogenates and associated with lysosomes. We
conclude that EGF in cultured renal cells regulates the breakdown of
proteins targeted for destruction by chaperone-mediated
autophagy. Because suppression of this pathway results in an
increase in Pax2, these results suggest a novel mechanism for the
regulation of cell growth.
