Quantitative proteomics reveals arsenic attenuates stem-loop binding protein stability via a chaperone complex containing heat shock proteins and ERp44.

Abstract
Arsenic pollution impacts health of millions of people in the world. Inorganic arsenic is a carcinogenic agent in skin and lung cancers. The stem-loop binding protein (SLBP) binds to the stem-loop of the canonical histone mRNA and regulates its metabolism during cell cycle. Our previous work has shown arsenic induces ubiquitin-proteasome dependent degradation of SLBP and contributes to lung cancer. In this study, we established the first comprehensive SLBP interaction network by affinity purification-mass spectrometry (AP-MS) analysis, and further demonstrated arsenic enhanced the association between SLBP and a crucial chaperone complex containing heat shock proteins (HSPs) and ERp44. Strikingly, knockdown of these proteins markedly rescued the protein level of SLBP under arsenic exposure conditions, and abolished the increasing migration capacity of BEAS-2B cells induced by arsenic. Taken together, our study provides a potential new mechanism that a chaperone complex containing HSPs and ERp44 attenuates the stability of SLBP under both normal and arsenic exposure conditions, which could be essential for arsenic-induced high cell migration.
