Pirh2 is a RING finger type ubiquitin ligase which ubiquitylates various proteins including p53, p27(Kip1), HDAC1, and epsilon-COR In this study, we identified signal recognition particle receptor beta subunit (SR beta), an integral membrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), as a novel Pirh2-interacting protein by yeast two-hybrid screening. We confirmed that Pirh2 interacted with SR beta in mammalian cells. An immunofluorescent staining revealed that Pirh2 colocalized with SR beta in the ER. Pirh2 poly-ubiquitylated SR beta in an intact RING finger domain-dependent manner in vivo and in vitro. Unexpectedly, different from other Pirh2 substrates, neither overexpression of Pirh2 nor depletion of cellular Pirh2 affected SR beta protein stability. Pirh2 preferentially utilized lysine residues 6 and 29 of the ubiquitin to mediate the formation of polyubiquitin chains on SR beta. These results suggest that Pirh2 may regulate SR beta function by mediating poly-ubiquitylation of SR beta without affecting the stability of SR beta protein per se.
