Abstract

The key gluconeogenic enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) is synthesized when cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are grown on a non-fermentable carbon source. After shifting the cells to glucose-containing medium, in a process called catabolite degradation, FBPase is selectively and rapidly broken down. We have isolated gid mutants, which are defective in this glucose-induced degradation process. When complementing the defect in catabolite degradation of FBPase in gid3-1 mutant cells with a yeast genomic library, we identified the GID3 gene and found it to be identical to UBC8 encoding the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Ubc8p. The in vivo function of Ubc8p (Gid3p) has remained a mystery so far. Here we demonstrate the involvement of Ubc8p in the glucose-induced ubiquitylation of FBPase as a prerequisite for catabolite degradation of the enzyme via the proteasome. Like FBPase, Ubc8p is found in the cytoplasmic fraction of the cell. We demonstrate cytoplasmic degradation of FBPase.
