| Abstract | Alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by the retention of misfolded AAT in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of hepatocytes and a significant decrease in the serum levels of AAT. Previous studies have demonstrated that the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway is involved in the degradation of the Z variant of AAT (ATZ). However, the detailed mechanisms of ATZ degradation are not fully understood. We investigated whether the ER membrane-embedded ubiquitin ligase (E3) Hrd1 promotes the removal of ATZ through ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Our results indicate that Hrd1 decreases intracellular levels of ATZ, especially the detergent-insoluble fraction, in cells transfected with a plasmid-encoding ATZ. The degradation of ATZ was also found to be dependent on the functional E3 activity of Hrd1. In addition, we demonstrated that Hrd1 increases the solubility of ATZ. Cycloheximide (CHX) chase and proteasome inhibition experiments showed that the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway is involved in Hrd1-mediated ATZ degradation. Furthermore, we found that Hrd1 helped to maintain normal morphology of ATZ expressing cells. These data indicate that Hrd1 enhances the removal of ATZ through ERAD and attenuates intracellular ATZ accumulation and toxicity, which implies a potential value for Hrd1 in the treatment of AAT deficiency diseases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
