Sterol homeostasis is tightly regulated by highly conserved molecules, with the ubiquitin-proteasome system playing a crucial role. Ubp3 enhances the proteasomal degradation of ergosterol biosynthetic enzymes, and its absence leads to the accumulation of toxic sterols, disrupting sterol homeostasis. Ubp3 may serve as a potential new antifungal target.
Sterol homeostasis is tightly controlled by molecules that are highly conserved from yeast to humans, the dysregulation of which plays critical roles in the development of antifungal resistance and various cardiovascular diseases. Previous studies have shown that sterol homeostasis is regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Two E3 ubiquitin ligases, Hrd1 and Doa10, are known to mediate the proteasomal degradation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase Hmg2 and squalene epoxidase Erg1 with accumulation of the toxic sterols in cells, but the deubiquitinases (DUBs) involved are unclear. Here, we screened for DUBs responsible for sterol homeostasis using yeast strains from a DUB-deletion library. The defective growth observed in ubp3-deleted (ubp3.) yeast upon fluconazole treatment suggests that lack of Ubp3 disrupts sterol homeostasis. Deep-coverage quantitative proteomics reveals that ergosterol biosynthesis is rerouted into a sterol pathway that generates toxic products in the absence of Ubp3. Further genetic and biochemical analysis indicated that Ubp3 enhances the proteasome's ability to degrade the ergosterol biosynthetic enzymes Erg1 and Erg3. The retardation of ergosterol enzyme degradation in the ubp3. strain resulted in the severe accumulation of the intermediate lanosterol and a branched toxic sterol, and ultimately disrupted sterol homeostasis and led to the fluconazole susceptibility. Our findings uncover a role for Ubp3 in sterol homeostasis and highlight its potential as a new antifungal target.
