Defining human ERAD networks through an integrativemapping strategyJohn C. Christianson1,2,5, James A. Olzmann1,5, Thomas A. Shaler3, Mathew E. Sowa4, Eric J. Bennett4,6,Caleb M. Richter1, Ryan E. Tyler1, Ethan J. Greenblatt1, J. Wade Harper4 and Ron R. Kopito1,7
Proteins that fail to correctly fold or assemble into oligomeric complexes in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are degraded by aubiquitin- and proteasome-dependent process known as ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Although many individualcomponents of the ERAD system have been identified, how these proteins are organized into a functional network that coordinatesrecognition, ubiquitylation and dislocation of substrates across the ER membrane is not well understood. We have investigated thefunctional organization of the mammalian ERAD system using a systems-level strategy that integrates proteomics, functionalgenomics and the transcriptional response to ER stress. This analysis supports an adaptive organization for the mammalian ERADmachinery and reveals a number of metazoan-specific genes not previously linked to ERAD.
Approximately one-third of the eukaryotic proteome consists ofsecreted and integral membrane proteins that are synthesized andinserted into the ER, where they must correctly fold and assembleto reach functional maturity1. ER quality control refers to theprocesses simultaneously monitoring deployment of correctly foldedproteins and assembled complexes to distal compartments, whilediverting folding-incompetent, mutant or unassembled polypeptidesfor proteasomal degradation through the process of ERAD (reviewed inrefs 2–4). An ever-growing list of sporadic and genetic human disordershave been associated with ER quality control, illustrating the pivotalrole these processes play in governance of protein trafficking5.Many of the individual components thought to underlie ERAD have
been identified through genetic and biochemical analyses in Saccha-romyces cerevisiae and mammals4,6 and point towards a mechanismmediated by a network of topologically and compartmentally restricted,partially redundant protein complexes2,4,7–9. ERAD is a vectorial processwhereby coordination of ERAD components across three subcellularcompartments (ER lumen, lipid bilayer and cytoplasm) must occurto effectively distinguish, target and deliver misfolded substrates fordegradation. Exclusion of the ubiquitin–proteasome system (UPS)from the ER lumen necessitates that substrates traverse the ERmembrane to be degraded, but the molecular identity and mechanismof the required dislocation apparatus remains controversial7,10,11.Ubiquitin E3 ligases play central functional and organizational roles
in ERAD (ref. 9). In yeast, the E3s Hrd1 and Doa10, which containcytoplasmically oriented RING domains that recruit distinct ubiquitin-

conjugating enzymes and form functional complexes by scaffoldingshared ERAD-related factors12–16, seem to be sufficient to degrade allERAD substrates16,17. ERAD substrates with luminal or membranefolding lesions utilizeHrd1 (refs 16,18), whereas those with cytoplasmiclesions rely on Doa10 (refs 16,17,19). In contrast to yeast, at least tendifferent E3s have been implicated inmammalian ERAD (ref. 20), possi-bly reflecting an evolutionary adaptation to the broader substrate rangeimposed by the more complex metazoan proteome. Three mammalianE3s, gp78, Hrd1 and TEB4, share similar domain and topologicalorganization, but scant sequence homology, with their yeast ortho-logues Hrd1 (orthologue of gp78 and Hrd1) and Doa10 (orthologue ofTEB4). Uncovering how the organization of E3-containing membranecomplexes allows them to access substrates in the ER lumen/membraneand recruit the cytoplasmic dislocation/extraction apparatus is crucialto establishing a comprehensive understanding of ERAD.Here, we have employed a systematic, multilayered approach that
integrates high-content proteomics, functional genomics and geneexpression to elucidate the interconnectivity and organization of ERADin mammals (Supplementary Fig. S1). These studies have allowed usto generate an integrated physical and functional map of the ERADsystem in the mammalian ER.

baits consisting of proteins previously identified as ERAD pathwaycomponents in biochemical studies or by orthology to componentsidentified in yeast (Supplementary Table S1, Primary). After confirmingER localization in HeLa cells (Supplementary Fig. S2) and stableexpression of each full-length S-tagged bait in HEK293 cells (datanot shown), protein complexes captured by S-protein affinitypurification from detergent-solubilized lysates were analysed byliquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS).Interactions were initially assessed for all baits by independentlyanalysing pulldowns from cells lysed in digitonin (SupplementaryTable S2) or themore stringent detergent Triton X-100 (SupplementaryTable S3). Total spectral counts for each captured protein weresubsequently evaluated with the Comparative Proteomics AnalysisSoftware Suite21,22 (CompPASS; SupplementaryMethods). CompPASSemploys a database of interacting proteins (including data frombaits in this study and 102 unrelated proteins described previously21)and comparative metrics to determine the likelihood of validityof interactors. The CompPASS parameter WDN-score22, whichintegrates the abundance, uniqueness and reproducibility of aninteracting protein, was used to identify high-confidence candidateinteracting proteins (HCIPs) for the ERAD network. Previous studiesdemonstrated that >68% of identified HCIPs were validated insubsequent biochemical analyses21, a rate of validation that is wellabove other high-throughput approaches to study protein–proteininteractions23. In our study, interacting proteins surpassing astringent threshold score of WDN > 1.0 were designated as HCIPs(Supplementary Tables S2a and S3a). Interacting proteins scoringbelow this cutoff may still represent bona fide interactions (full listin Supplementary Tables S2b and S3b).In addition to revealing interconnections among primary baits,
this analysis uncovered 10 HCIPs that had no previous relationshipwith ERAD. Seven (FAM8A1, UBAC2, KIAA0090, TTC35, C15orf24,TMEM111 and COX4NB) are functionally uncharacterized openreading frames and two (E-Syt1 andMMGT1, also known as TMEM32)are implicated in cellular processes unrelated to quality control. TheHCIP TXD16 (also known as ERp90) was recently suggested tobe involved in ERAD (ref. 24). On the basis of their identificationas HCIPs with multiple ERAD components in both digitonin andTriton X-100, high spectral counts and predicted ER localization(criteria described in Methods), these 10 HCIPs were introducedinto the proteomic workflow to iteratively expand and validate thenetwork (Supplementary Fig. S1, Secondary). Three proteins previouslyimplicated in mammalian ERAD (TEB4, RNF5 and HERP) couldnot be sufficiently expressed and were omitted. Ultimately, ourERAD network analysis included 25 baits, of which 9 seem to beunique to metazoans. No correlation was observed between baitabundance and the total number of interactions and HCIPs identified(Supplementary Fig. S3a). From 3,325 individual proteins identified byMASCOT in digitonin and 2,971 in Triton X-100 (SupplementaryTables S2b and S3b), CompPASS identified 320 and 202 HCIPs,respectively, for the 25 baits (Supplementary Tables S2a and S3a).These HCIPs correspond to 143 and 97 non-redundant proteinswith 71 HCIPs of interest, previously uncharacterized for a role inERAD (see Methods for selection criteria, Supplementary Table S4and Fig. S3b). Over 50% of HCIPs are ER/membrane localized, andgene ontology analysis indicates diverse functionality with significant
over-representation in folding, ubiquitin and catabolic processes(Supplementary Fig. S3c,d).
Overview of the mammalian ERAD interaction networkUnbiased hierarchical clustering of all HCIPs identified for eachbait in both detergents was used to assemble interaction data intoa coherent network (Fig. 1). Four of the digitonin clusters definesubnetworks organized around the E3s Hrd1 (clusters 1D and 6D)and gp78 (clusters 3D and 8D), indicating a central role in organizationof the mammalian ERAD system. Both Hrd1 and gp78 clusteredwith established integral membrane, luminal and cytoplasmic ERADcomponents (clusters 1D and 8D) as well as, separately, with most26S proteasome subunits (clusters 3D and 6D). Cluster 2D defines amacromolecular complex of previously uncharacterized proteins thatwe have designated the mammalian ER membrane complex (mEMC,discussed below) to reflect its orthology to a complex associatedwith theunfolded protein response (UPR) in yeast25. Cluster 4D confirms thepreviously reported interactions of theAAA+ATPaseVCP (also knownas p97) with an integral membrane binding partner VIMP (refs 26,27)and cytosolic NGly1 (ref. 28), while revealing interactions of VIMP andUBXD2 with the VCP accessory protein UBE4A, a Ufd2 orthologueimplicated in ubiquitin chain extension29. In addition to confirmingthe ERFAD–SEL1L interaction30, cluster 5D validated the recentlyreported interaction of ERFAD with TXD16 (ref. 24), reinforcing theconnection between ERAD and oxidative protein folding/unfolding.Cluster 7D contains several HCIPs in complex with Derlin-1 andDerlin-2, including the Ca2+-sensing protein extended-synaptotagmin1 (E-Syt1; ref. 31), the Ras superfamily member ARL6IP and YIF1B,both implicated in protein trafficking32,33.Of the eight prominent clusters identified in digitonin-solubilized
cells, only cluster 2 remained intact with Triton X-100 lysis. Fourclusters (1, 3, 5 and 8) were fragmented into discrete subclusters,and three (4, 6 and 7) were fully disrupted. On the basis of theseclusters (Fig. 1), we merged individual interactomes (SupplementaryFig. S4) to construct a topologically rendered, detailed interactionmap of the mammalian ERAD network in digitonin and Triton X-100(Fig. 2). The interaction network for ERAD (INfERAD) was arrangedaround clusters identified for Hrd1–SEL1L, gp78 and the mEMCsubnetworks, with those components located centrally reflecting sharedinteractions between clusters.As with any systems-based analysis of interaction networks, our
analysis was not exhaustive, and therefore we sought to integratedata from public protein–protein interaction resources (STRING).However, as ERAD components are poorly represented in this database(Supplementary Table S5) and other online resources (BIOGRID andMINT), interactions identified in this study were instead mappedtogether with pairwise interactions reported previously (SupplementaryTable S5 and Fig. S5). These combined data sets contain over250 interactions, reflecting the organizational complexity of themammalian ERAD system.
The Hrd1–SEL1L subnetworkOur proteomic analysis confirmed the E3 Hrd1 and its establishedcofactor SEL1L as a prominent nexus for ERAD. Nearly all previouslyreported interactions of the Hrd1–SEL1L complex (SupplementaryTable S5) were validated by our data set, which also uncovered

Figure 1 Hierarchical cluster analysis of CompPASS-identifiedhigh-confidence candidate interaction proteins (HCIPs). Hierarchicalclustering of HCIPs for interactions present in digitonin (left) and
Triton X-100 (right). Prominent HCIP clusters identified in digitonin(1–8D) and Triton X-100 (1–3, 5 and 8T) were manually selected andare highlighted below. The colour of the square indicates the WDN-score.
several unreported interactors including FAM8A1; LONP2, a putativeLon-protease (with OS-9); CPVL, a putative carboxypeptidase (withXTP3-B); the stress-inducible haem oxygenase HMOX1 (also knownas HO1); and two components of the sterol biosynthetic pathway,HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) and squalene synthetase (FDFT1).The rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol synthesis, HMGCR, is subjectto strict feedback regulation whereby sterol end products induce itsdegradation by ERAD (refs 12,34,35). Although evidence supports arole for gp78 in the degradation of HMGCR in mammalian cells36,the Hrd1 pathway degrades HMGCR in both yeast (Hmg2; ref. 12)and Drosophila37. Identification of HMGCR as a Hrd1 HCIP lendsstrength to the possibility that Hrd1 also plays a role in HMGCRdegradation in mammals38.The integrity of theHrd1–SEL1L subnetworkwas strongly influenced
by solubilization conditions. All Hrd1 HCIPs except FAM8A1 (Fig. 1a,cluster 1Ta) were lost in Triton X-100, whereas the complexescontaining SEL1L, OS-9 and other luminal components werepreserved (Fig. 1a, cluster 1Tb), consistent with all upstream (luminal)interactions being mediated through SEL1L, which is linked to Hrd1by a Triton X-100-labile association39.
The gp78 subnetworkCluster analysis exposed a reciprocally co-precipitating complexconsisting of the E3 gp78, an uncharacterized UBA domain-containingpolytopic protein UBAC2, the membrane-embedded, VCP-bindingprotein UBXD8, and Derlin-1 and Derlin-2. The high degree ofinterconnectivity indicates that gp78 and its cognate E2 (UBE2G2)and UBAC2 comprise a transmembrane pathway for ERAD that sharesessential cytoplasmic (for example, VCP and 26S proteasomes) andintegral membrane components (UBXD8 and Derlin-2) with theHrd1–SEL1L cluster. The recently described protein TMUB1 (ref. 40)was found in the gp78 cluster, as was BRI3BP, hitherto unlinked to ER.Signal peptide peptidase (SPP, also known as HM13) and a numberof poorly characterized integral membrane proteins (TMEM201,TMEM43, LRRC59 and CLPTM1) were also linked through UBAC2.In contrast to the Hrd1–SEL1L cluster, most HCIPs associated withthe gp78 subnetwork were stable in both detergents (SupplementaryTable S2, S3 and S6). Disruption of the Hrd1–SEL1L cluster in TritonX-100 caused the shared cytoplasmic interactors VCP and UBE2G2to cluster with gp78, probably reflecting their direct binding to thecarboxy-terminal cytoplasmic domain of gp78 (refs 41,42).

Figure 2 The INfERAD. Interaction network for ERAD isolated in digitoninand Triton X-100 represented by baits (squares) and their HCIPs (circles).Unidirectional (dashed, single arrow) and reciprocal (solid black, doublearrows) interactions are shown. Each bait protein is rendered in a uniquecolour and line colour reflects the bait protein used to identify theinteraction with the HCIP. Dotted lines marked with a circle indicateinteractions detected in both digitonin and Triton X-100, and longdashed lines represent those found only in Triton X-100. The inset table
lists the determined constituents of the mammalian ER membranecomplex (mEMC), their size (in amino acids, aa), cellular localization(IMP, integral membrane protein; Cyto., cytosolic), and correspondingyeast orthologues (SC) and ID in the Saccharomyces Genome Database(SGD). For clarity, a selection of additional digitonin HCIPs not includedin the map is shown on the bottom, with a circle’s colour correspondingto the bait for which the HCIP was observed and asterisks denoting anHCIP also detected in Triton X-100.
establish gp78 as the core of a detergent-stable E3 subnetwork thatshares several components with theHrd1 complex, and identify UBAC2as a central element in the gp78 complex.
ERAD E3s are associated with the 26S proteasomeStrikingly, nearly all subunits of the 26S proteasome were capturedwith Hrd1 and gp78 in digitonin lysates. Although not all of theseinteractions reached our stringent criteria to qualify as HCIPs (19/32for gp78; 15/31 for Hrd1; Supplementary Table S6), the fact thatgp78 captured all subunits of the 20S core particle and most subunitsof the 19S regulatory particle indicates a significant connectionbetween the ERAD E3s and 26S proteasomes (SupplementaryTable S6 and Fig. S6). Persistence of these interactions in TritonX-100, together with the observation that proteasome subunitswere not identified as HCIPs of other ERAD interaction networkcomponents, indicates an intimate, perhaps direct interaction ofgp78 (and possibly Hrd1) with the 26S proteasome. Proteasomestability requires ATP and without it, dissociation into 20S coreand 19S regulatory particles can occur43,44. The excess of 20Score particle subunits over 19S regulatory subunits captured withgp78 and Hrd1 (Supplementary Fig. S6) raises the possibility thatE3–proteasome connections may be linked independently of the 19Sregulatory particle, perhaps through direct interactions with 20S orthrough alternative adaptors.
The gp78 HCIP PSME4 (also known as PA200) was identified in ascreen for 26S proteasome activators and originally reported as a nu-clear protein with a possible role in DNA repair45. PA200 can assemblewith 20S and 19S subunits to form hybrid 26S proteasomes46 and acrystal structure of the apparent yeast orthologue Blm10 indicates thatit interacts directly with proteasomeα-subunits47. The functional signif-icance of the PA200 interaction is unclear, but its presence in gp78 (butnot Hrd1) complexes indicates that there may be heterogeneous 26Sproteasome populations associatedwith the ERmembrane andERAD.
The mEMC subnetworkThe detergent-stable mEMC (Fig. 1, cluster 2) was initially identifiedthrough KIAA0090, an uncharacterized, putative type I integralmembrane glycoprotein detected as a Derlin-1/2 HCIP (Fig. 1 andSupplementary Table S2). With KIAA0090 as bait, we identifiedfive additional HCIPs (TTC35, MMGT1, TMEM85, C15orf24 andCOX4NB), which reciprocally co-precipitated each other, and fouradditional proteins (TMEM111, C19orf63, C14orf122 and TMEM93;Supplementary Fig. S4). The mEMC comprises ten unique subunits,whereas its yeast counterpart seems to contain six (Fig. 2). Althoughthe function of the mEMC is unknown, three subunits (KIAA0090,TMEM111 and TTC35) were identified as HCIPs of UBAC2 andDerlin-2, indicating a close link between this complex and ERAD componentsimplicated in ubiquitin recognition and protein dislocation.

Deconvolving the ERAD interaction network with RNAinterferenceTo begin to decipher the organization within the mammalian ERADinteraction network, we systematically analysed the Hrd1–SEL1L andgp78 subnetworks. Co-expression of S-tagged proteins with shorthairpin RNAs (shRNAs) targeting central subnetwork nodes wasused to ascertain the requirement of each component to maintainindividual interactions (Fig. 3). Following SEL1L knockdown, XTP3-Binteractions with Hrd1 (Fig. 3a), UBE2J1 (Fig. 3b) and FAM8A1(Fig. 3c) were abolished, and OS-9 lost its connection to Hrd1 (Fig. 3d).LC–MS/MS analyses confirmed that XTP3-B andOS-9 affinity-purifiedcomplexes from cells lacking SEL1L lost their interactions with alldownstream membrane and cytosolic components (for example Hrd1,data not shown). These data verify the essential role that SEL1Lplays in scaffolding luminal, substrate-recognition elements to theHrd1 transmembrane complex30,39,48,49, and reveal the independentinteractions of XTP3-B andOS-9with theHrd1–SEL1Lnode (Fig. 3e).Hrd1–SEL1L subnetwork connections to integral membrane and
cytosolic ERAD components differed in that SEL1L knockdown didnot affect the Hrd1–FAM8A1 (Fig. 3f) or Hrd1–UBE2J1 interactions(Fig. 3g). Similarly, loss of Hrd1 failed to sever the connections betweenSEL1L–UBE2J1 (Fig. 3h), SEL1L–AUP1 (Fig. 3i) or AUP1–UBE2G2(Fig. 3j). Thus, both Hrd1 and SEL1L bind to UBE2J1, eitherdirectly or through a factor not identified in our proteomic analysis.Hrd1 knockdown abolished the SEL1L–FAM8A1 interaction (Fig. 3f),indicating that SEL1L and FAM8A1 independently bind to Hrd1. Thisconclusion is reinforced by the maintenance of the Hrd1–FAM8A1interaction in Triton X-100 where SEL1L is lost (Fig. 1). These datarefine themolecular topology of theHrd1–SEL1L complex, and identifyFAM8A1 as an obligate, SEL1L-independent partner ofHrd1 (Fig. 3k).A second prominent, highly interconnected subnetwork is composed
of gp78, Derlin-2, UBAC2 and UBXD8 (Fig. 2). Knockdown ofUBXD8 did not disrupt the gp78–UBAC2 interaction (Fig. 3l), nordid knockdown of gp78 affect UBXD8–UBAC2 (Fig. 3m,n). Althoughgp78 binding was lost, maintenance of the UBXD8–UBAC2 interactionin Triton X-100 indicates that their organization occurs independentlyof gp78 (Fig. 1). However, the UBXD8–gp78 interaction was abrogatedby knockdown of UBAC2 (Fig. 3o) but not Derlin-2 (Fig. 3p). Thesedata allow refinement of the gp78 subnetwork topology (Fig. 3q)and identify a role for UBAC2 in the recruitment of UBXD8 to thegp78 complex.
Functional genomic analysis of ERAD componentsTo assess their functional roles in substrate degradation, we monitoredthe effect of RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated knockdown ofindividual ERAD components on steady-state fluorescence levels offluorescent ERAD substrate reporters21,50–53. Cell lines stably expressingGFP fusions representing three major topological classes of ERADsubstrates: luminal-glycosylated (null Hong Kong variant of α1-anti-trypsin (A1ATNHK)), luminal-non-glycosylated (A1ATNHK-QQQ andmutant transthyretin TTRD18G) and integral membrane-glycosylated(CFTR1F508; Fig. 4a) substrates were employed. We also included theAMPA-type glutamate receptor subunit GluR1, as it is retained inthe ER and degraded in a UPS-dependent manner (SupplementaryFig. S7). Cell lines expressing the cytosolic proteasome substrateGFPu (ref. 54) and GFP served as controls for ERAD-independent
effects that might alter UPS function, reporter gene expression or GFPfluorescence intensity.All substrate reporter lines responded to proteasome inhibition
with time-dependent increases in mean GFP fluorescence (Fig. 4b).Expression of a dominant-negative VCP mutant (H317A; ref. 52)severely impaired degradation of only the ERAD substrates, but notGFPu (Fig. 4c), in agreement with the strong dependence of ERADpathways on VCP and 26S proteasomes. The mannosidase inhibitorkifunensine selectively inhibited the degradation of A1ATNHK (Fig. 4c),consistent with an established requirement for mannose trimming ofthis glycoprotein for ERAD (refs 55,56). GluR1 and CFTR1F508 arealso glycoproteins (Supplementary Fig. S7c), but were unaffected bykifunensine (Fig. 4c), indicating that mannose trimming is unlikelyto be the dominant signal committing them to degradation, or thatthere is redundant, glycan-independent targeting for these polytopicproteins. These data reflect an implicit requirement for multiple,substrate-specific recognition elements within the ERAD interactionnetwork to deliver substrates to shared degradationmachinery.To identify the individual factors required for substrate degradation,
we generated an shRNA library targeting genes implicated in ERAD(Fig. 4d and Supplementary Table S5) and monitored their impact onthe mean GFP fluorescence of reporter cell lines (Fig. 4e and Supple-mentary Table S7). Any shRNA that significantly stabilized an ERADreporter was selected for further validation by re-screening throughall other reporter lines and confirmation of knockdown (see Methodsand Supplementary Fig. S8). Each substrate seemed to rely on a uniqueset of individual ERAD components for degradation (SupplementaryTable S7), which is illustrated as a hierarchically clustered heat map forcomparison (Fig. 4f). Of the 59 components our library targeted, onlythe non-ATPase subunit of the 19S regulatory particle PSMD2 andVCPwere essential for all ERAD substrates (Fig. 4f). GFPu was stabilized byknockdown of PSMD2, but not VCP, mimicking the effects of MG132and VCPH317A (Fig. 4b,c) and validating the strategy of using shRNA-mediated gene silencing with ERAD reporters to interrogate the contri-bution of individual components to the overall degradation process. Hi-erarchical cluster analysis demonstrated that substrates were segregatedby topology (luminal versus integral membrane), but not by glycosy-lation (Fig. 4f). Moreover, a surprising degree of heterogeneity withineach substrate’s requirement profile was observed, especially for sub-strates utilizing the same central ERAD components (for example Hrd1,discussed below). These characteristic patterns indicate that the ERADsystem operates largely as an adaptive network, in which unique combi-nations of common components process individual substrates. Such anadaptive mechanism could be explained by the formation of substrate-specific subcomplexes or by a multisubunit complex that utilizesdiscrete sets of components to achieve substrate-specific degradation.
An adaptive mechanism for Hrd1-dependent degradationWe merged the heat map of shRNA-mediated impairment for eachsubstrate (Fig. 4f) with the comprehensive ERAD interaction network(Supplementary Fig. S5) to generate integrated substrate-specificsnapshots of the physical and functional networks responsible for degra-dation (Supplementary Figs S9–S11). Loss of either E3 in the networkimpacted degradation in a substrate-specific manner. Hrd1 knockdownstabilized topologically disparate substrates including A1ATNHK,A1ATNHK-QQQ, TTRD18G and GluR1, but had little effect on GFPu or

E3s responded only weakly (Fig. 5). All but one of the mEMCcomponents were transcriptionally upregulated by tunicamycin(Fig. 5); in yeast, only EMC3 is upregulated by the UPR (refs 25,58).The selective response to ER stress indicates a previously unrecognized,coordinate transcriptional regulation of this physically and functionallyintegrated network. The contributions of the Hrd1–SEL1L and mEMCsubnetworks to the cellular response to ER stress underscore theimportant role ERAD plays in this process.
ERAD components identified within the Hrd1–SEL1L andgp78 subnetworksFAM8A1 was identified as a previously uncharacterized componentof the Hrd1–SEL1L subnetwork (Fig. 6a). Immunoprecipitation ofendogenous FAM8A1 captured Hrd1 and SEL1L (Fig. 6b), confirmingthat FAM8A1 is a bona fide interactor of both components.Resistance to extraction from purified microsomes by high saltconcentration or pH conditions support predictions for FAM8A1 as anintegral membrane protein with three membrane-spanning domains(TOPCONS, Fig. 6c,d), and limited proteolysis of FAM8A1-containingmicrosomes (data not shown) and immunodetection of an amino-terminal epitope tag in semipermeabilized cells (Fig. 6e) establishedthe cytoplasmic localization of the N terminus. A complex isolatedwith S-tagged Hrd1 contained both FAM8A1 and SEL1L, confirmingFAM8A1 as a component of this E3 ligase complex (Fig. 6f).Disrupting the stoichiometry of the Hrd1 E3 complex by FAM8A1
knockdown (Fig. 3f) or wild-type Hrd1 overexpression (Fig. 6g)
impaired degradation of TTRD18G while enhancing that of GluR1.TTRD18G degradation was restored or enhanced when Hrd1 wasco-expressed with SEL1L (Fig. 6g). Similarly, FAM8A1 overexpression(or its RDD domain, amino acids 230–413) impaired TTRD18G
but not GluR1 degradation, whereas a cytoplasmic N-terminalfragment (FAM8A11230-413) affected neither (Fig. 6g). The dominant-negative effect of FAM8A111–229) on TTRD18G stability implies thatHrd1 interacts with FAM8A1 through its RDD domain and thatits cytoplasmic N-terminal region is required for Hrd1-mediateddegradation of luminal substrates. Collectively, our results establishFAM8A1 as a binding partner and potential regulator of Hrd1-dependent ERAD.UBAC2, identified as a UBXD8 interaction partner (Fig. 7a), is
predicted to be a rhomboid family pseudoprotease similar to theDerlin proteins59 that also contains a putative C-terminal UBA domain.A native interaction between the two was validated by endogenousco-precipitation (Fig. 7b). Functionally, UBAC2 knockdown stabilizedthe Hrd1 substrate TTRD18G–GFP (Fig. 7c), indicating potentialcoordination between the two ubiquitin ligase complexes. Both theUBAC2 C terminus (amino acids 304–344) and the N terminus ofUBXD8 (2–52) show a high degree of conservation with residuesessential for ubiquitin binding in UBA domains (Fig. 7d), andtheir predicted cytosolic localization positions them appropriatelyfor ubiquitin binding (Fig. 7e). Whereas a recombinant UBAC2C-terminal fragment (amino acids 293–344) was sufficient to capturepolyubiquitin chains from HEK293 cell lysates at a level comparable

DISCUSSIONThe application of high-content proteomics to identify interconnec-tivity within defined functional networks has been used with successto map high-resolution interaction landscapes for several complexmammalian protein networks21,22,61. In this study, we have integratedthe mammalian ERAD interaction landscape with gene expressiondata and substrate-specific functional ‘fingerprints’ of the mappedcomponents to generate a multidimensional view of this dynamic andcomplex network. Our data indicate that the mammalian ERAD systemmay accommodate the diverse array of potential substrates by using
combinatorial interactions of the two central E3s, Hrd1 and gp78, witha palette of accessory factors (Fig. 8).Although many individual components of the mammalian ERAD
system have been previously identified, so far there has been nosystematic effort to place them into an integrated interaction landscape.Our study confirmed many of the interactions previously reported inmammals62 and those inferred from yeast16,63 (shown in Fig. 8; blacklines), validating our approach and allowing us to arrange componentsinto a topologically and functionally coherent model (Fig. 8). Thisanalysis also identified 71 HCIPs that are either uncharacterized orhave not previously been linked to ERAD (Fig. 8, only selected nodesand interactions shown), illustrating the ability of focused proteomicstrategies to uncover new components. Our analysis integratesinteraction and functional data from the present study into a frameworkconsisting of six functional modules that execute the principal ERAD

Figure 8 Functional integration of mammalian ERAD networks. Theschematic model of the ERAD protein interaction network is topologicallyorganized with respect to the ER membrane and arranged as anarray of six colour-coded functional modules. Individual componentsfrom this study (baits or HCIPs) are indicated as nodes with reportedcomponents (black) and previously unknown components (red). Similarly,reported interactions confirmed in this study (black lines) and previouslyunknown interactions (red lines) are shown. Symbols for protein–protein
interactions, UPR induction and functional requirements are indicatedin the legend. Inter-module interactions represented terminate eitherat the specific node within a module that establishes the link with themodule periphery or at the module itself (where there are interactionswith multiple components and that module is a single complex; forexample, the mEMC or proteasome). Asterisks indicate components thatwere identified by proteomics, but exhibited a subthreshold CompPASSscore (WDN-score<1.0).
activities: substrate recognition, dislocation, extraction, ubiquitylationand degradation (proteasome), as well as the EMC whose function isunknown at present. Submodules are grouped together on the basisof predicted structural and topological features, and on an unbiasedanalysis of network interconnectivity of the proteins represented ineach group. The ERAD system can thus be viewed as a distributednetwork, organized around central ubiquitin ligase modules for Hrd1and gp78 that cooperate with components of themembrane-embeddeddislocation and the cytoplasmically-oriented substrate extractionmodules. These interconnections are likely to ensure secure couplingbetween substrate dislocation/extraction and ubiquitin conjugation.The Hrd1 and gp78 complexes contain submodule-specific factors andshare interactions with ERLIN1/2 and UBE2G2. The Hrd1 submodulehas four main connections to other modules. Three are mediated
through SEL1L, which connectsHrd1 to the upstream luminal substraterecognition machinery, as well as to the downstream dislocationmodule through Derlin-2 and the substrate extraction module throughUBXD8. Direct interactions between the last two proteins and VCPprovide an extended pathway from the luminal substrate-bindinglectins OS-9 and XTP3-B to cytoplasmic VCP. The third connection isa direct link between this E3 and the 26S proteasome.The gp78 submodule seems to connect to the ERADnetwork through
UBAC2. This protein interacts with UBXD8 and Derlin-1/2, and hasa functional polyubiquitin-binding domain, indicating that it mayfunction as a membrane nexus integrating ubiquitin conjugation,dislocation and extraction. A VCP-binding site within the cytoplasmicdomain of gp78 (ref. 42) means that this complex can associate withVCP in at least two ways. VCP interacts directly with multiple compo-

nents of the ERADmachinery including Derlin-1 and Derlin-2 (refs 27,59,64), VIMP (refs 26,27), gp78 (ref. 42), UBXD2 (ref. 65) and UBXD8(refs 66,67). With at least six different recruitment sites for VCP withinthe ERAD network, it is not surprising that disruption or silencing ofthis cytoplasmic AAA+ATPase has amore universal effect on the degra-dation of diverse ERAD substrates when compared with the loss of anindividual factor (Fig. 4f).Multiple recruitment avenues at the ERmem-branemay reflect an acquired adaptability of VCP to accommodate andengage the diverse substrates it encounters. Moreover, VCP accessoryfactors (for example, UBE4A, VCIP135 and SVIP), functionally essen-tial for specific substrates (Fig. 4f), could confer an added level of speci-ficity or may reflect a requirement for different VCP configurations atdifferent steps of the dislocation andmembrane extraction processes.‘Input’ of luminal substrates into the Hrd1 submodule occurs
through the well-established interaction with SEL1L. A capacity ofthe Hrd1 submodule to engage substrates independently of SEL1L isalso supported by several observations: SEL1L is dispensable for GluR1degradation (Fig. 4f); Hrd1 overexpression enhanced GluR1 degrada-tion while stabilizing TTRD18G (Fig. 6g); and co-expression of SEL1LwithHrd1 resulted in enhanced degradation of both substrates (Fig. 6g).One hypothesis is that Hrd1 recognizes substrates directly throughits membrane-spanning region, as suggested from studies in yeast68.We speculate that, given its close interaction with Hrd1, FAM8A1may regulate the partitioning of Hrd1 between SEL1L-dependentand -independent modes of substrate recognition. This model forFAM8A1 regulation of Hrd1 partitioning is supported by the opposingeffects that FAM8A1 depletion has on SEL1L-dependent (A1ATNHK,A1ATNHK-QQQ, TTRD18G) and SEL1L-independent (GluR1) substrates.How substrates are directed to the gp78 submodule is less clear,
as no high-confidence interactions between components of this E3submodule and components of the substrate recognition module weredetected in our study or have been reported. Given the large number ofcommon components within the dislocation and substrate extractionmodules that interact with both E3 submodules, it is possible that thesetwo principal ERAD E3s cooperate to degrade substrates, consistentwith some ERAD substrates being partially stabilized by knockdown ofeither Hrd1 or gp78. Indeed, several examples of cooperative functionby pairs of mammalian ERAD-associated E3s have been reported,including RMA1–CHIP andRMA1–gp78 in the ubiquitylation of CFTR(refs 57,69) and also Hrd1–gp78 (ref. 70).Our data support an organizational model for ERAD where a
dynamic network of interacting functional modules facilitate therecognition, recruitment, dislocation, extraction, ubiquitylation anddegradation of the diverse classes of secretory pathway proteins. Thiswork should provide a resource for future analysis of this cellularquality-control system. �

METHODSPlasmids and constructs. ERAD component complementary DNAs (Supple-mentary Table S10) were cloned into the pcDNA3.1 vector in frame with anS-tag (KETAAAKFERQHMDS) either at the N or C terminus. For some, theendogenous signal sequence was replaced by bovine preprolactin followed by theS-peptide. ERAD reporters were constructed by fusing eGFP in frame with theC termini of transthyretin (TTRD18G), an α1-anti-trypsin NHK variant (A1ATNHK)and an NHK variant lacking consensus glycosylation sites (A1ATNHK-QQQ), giftfrom N. Hosokawa, Kyoto University, Japan). An N-terminal eGFP fusion of ratGluR1 (GFP–GluR1–flop) was subcloned into pcDNA3.1(-) (gift from R. Malinow,University of California, San Diego, USA). GFP–CFTR1F508; ref. 71) and GFPu
(ref. 54) have been described previously. HA–GluR1 (rat) was a gift fromW. Green,University of Chicago, USA.
Bait selection. Primary baits were selected on the basis of previous reports oron orthology to known yeast ERAD components. Secondary baits were selectedusing multiple criteria, including: identification as an HCIP with several primarybaits; identification as an HCIP in both digitonin and Triton X-100; presence inLC–MS/MS analyses with high total spectral counts; a predicted ER localization; anda domain structure or previous reports suggesting a potential function of relevanceto ER quality control.
Mass spectrometry. Cells were collected in PBS and solubilized in lysis buffer(50mM Tris–HCl (pH 7.4), 150mM NaCl, 5mM EDTA) containing Completeprotease inhibitor cocktail (Roche), and either 1% digitonin or 1% Triton X-100.Lysates were spun twice, first at 1,000g and the supernatant was respun at 20,000g . Aquantity of 1–1.5mg of total protein from cleared lysates was affinity purified with S-protein agarose (Novagen). Bead-bound complexes were washed three times in lysisbuffer containing 0.1% digitonin or Triton X-100 then twice in 50mM ammoniumbicarbonate, at pH 8. Bound proteins were eluted by overnight treatment withRapigest (Waters) and subjected to trypsin digestion (Promega) before injection intothe mass spectrometer. Samples were analysed in duplicate/triplicate on a systemconsisting of a CTC-PAL autosampler (Leap Technologies), a capillary gradientHPLC pump (Agilent Model 1100) and a linear-ion-trapmass spectrometer (ModelLTQ, ThermoFisher Scientific). The acquired MS/MS spectra were searched usingthe MASCOT protein database search program (Matrix Science) against a fulldatabase of human protein sequences to which the set of S-tagged protein sequencesand S-protein sequence were added.
Data deposition. The spectral files reported in this article have beendeposited in the Proteome Commons Tranche repository (http://tranche.proteomecommons.org) and can be accessed using the following hash:ZPwKzx2i + VY1M2U0GB450u9kH7MFcrfOjXFam9/xha4QUN/6O5 + KLj/NnuEYMBTJPSwId/rJFvjsYbPbQrg8mDys7F8AAAAAAABMXA==.
CompPASS analysis. A MASCOT-generated list of all interacting proteins andtheir corresponding total spectral counts from duplicate MS analyses for each baitaffinity complex was merged with a database containing 102 unique baits analysedpreviously21. CompPASS output metrics were then adjusted using both a weightingfactor and normalization such that a WDN score greater than 1 signifies a HCIP.Briefly, the CompPASS-calculatedWD score assesses interacting protein abundance(peptide number), uniqueness (number of baits that interact with the protein) andreplication (number of experiments the interaction is observed in) to determineHCIPs (ref. 21). To analyse data sets containing high numbers of shared interactors(for example, autophagy network and ERAD network), a normalized WD score(WDN) was developed and has been described in extensive detail previously22. Thisscore includes a normalization factor based on the standard deviation of the scannumber for the interactor across the bait proteins, which was found to correlate withbona fide interacting proteins22. All MASCOT and CompPASS data can be accessedthrough INfERAD, an interactive web-based portal at http://falcon.hms.harvard.edu/ipmsmsdbs/comppass.html. The hierarchically clustered heatmap representingHCIP data was generated using MultiExperimental Viewer v4.7. It should be notedthat the high WDN score for the bait protein could be due to self-identificationor a self-interaction (Fig. 1 and Supplementary Tables S2 and S3) and these twopossibilities could not be distinguished in the present study. HCIP clusters wereselected manually by encompassing the largest number of HCIPs proximal to eachbait with a minimum of two HCIPs.
ERAD shRNA library. Target gene selection was based on a reported/suspectedrole in ERAD or on identification as an HCIP in proteomic analyses. shRNA targetsequences were selected from the literature, the RNAi codex online repository, orgenerated using siRNA selection programs as indicated (Supplementary Table S7).shRNAs were cloned into the pSUPERSTAR expression vector52. The librarycontains 309 shRNA constructs, including 3 negative control constructs, 222constructs targeting 45 reported ERAD components, and 87 constructs targeting 14potential ERAD components. Each gene is targeted by an average of∼5 shRNAs.
Cell culture, transfection and stable cell lines. HEK293 and HeLa cells weremaintained in DMEM (Mediatech) +10% animal serum complex (Gemini Bio-Products) at 37 ◦C and 5% CO2. Cells were transfected by the calcium-phosphateco-precipitation technique or with FuGENE6 (Roche). Stable HEK293 clones/poolsexpressing S-tagged ERAD components were selected by G418 resistance andlimiting dilution. Clonal HEK293 cell lines expressing GFP-fusion ERAD reportersare described below.
Functional genomic analysis of the ERAD network. Clonal HEK293 celllines expressing GFP-tagged substrates (GFPu, GFP–GluR1, TTRD18G–GFP,A1ATNHK–GFP, A1ATNHK-QQQ–GFP and GFP–CFTR1F508) were obtained by G418selection followed by limiting dilution and/or sorting by FACS as describedpreviously52. Cell line selection was based on multiple criteria including: expressionof full-length protein; a single GFP peak as measured by flow cytometry; andaccumulation with MG132 (10 µM for 12 h). For primary screening, reportercells were seeded in 96-well plates (15,000 cells per well) and reverse-transfectedusing FuGENE6 with individually arrayed pSUPERSTAR-shRNA plasmids(175 ng) and pcDNA3–mCherry (ChFP) (25 ng). After 72 h, cells were analysedby high-throughput flow cytometry (LSR-II, Becton Dickinson). Mean GFPfluorescence intensity was determined for ∼2,000 ChFP-positive cells andnormalized to the mean GFP fluorescence intensity of pSUPERSTAR emptyvector (n = 3). Potential positive hits (Z scores > 1.5) were re-screenedthrough all reporters, and the mean GFP fluorescence intensity for 20,000cells was measured. shRNAs scoring positive in three independent experimentsand also depleted for the target transcript were considered bona fide hits.The heat map (Fig. 4f) used mean GFP fluorescence values for each shRNAthat were normalized to values resulting from a 3 h MG132 treatment, soas to facilitate comparison of each shRNAs effect between reporter cell lines.
Immunopurification, affinity purification and immunoblotting. Cells werecollected and affinity purified (S-protein) as described above. For immunoprecipi-tations, anti-FAM8A1 or anti-UBXD8 antibodies were conjugated to beads using thePierce direct immunoprecipitation kit (Thermo Scientific) and incubated with celllysates. All samples were washed three times in lysis buffer, resuspended in Laemmlibuffer +10mM dithiothreitol, separated by SDS–PAGE and transferred to PVDFmembrane for western blotting.
Antibodies. Experiments used the following antibodies: anti-S-tag (1:5,000),anti-myc (9E10; 1:2,000), anti-Hrd1 (1:50; gift from R. Wojcikiewicz, SUNYUpstate Medical University, USA), anti-SEL1L, anti-UBXD8, anti-AUP1 (gifts fromH. Ploegh,Whitehead Institute, USA), anti-VCP (1:1,000; Novus), anti-HA (12CA5;1:1,000), anti-KDEL (1:500; Stressgen), anti-calnexin (1:500; Assay Designs), anti-GFP (1:1,000; Roche), anti-tubulin (gift from T. Stearns, Stanford University, USA)and anti-ubiquitin (FK2; 1:2,000; BioMol). The polyclonal rabbit anti-FAM8A1(1:20,000) antibody was generated against a synthetic human FAM8A1 peptide(residues 65–78, CDKLEPPRELRKRGE) by conjugation to KLH and immunizationof two rabbits (Proteintech Group).
Measurement of shRNA efficacy by qRT–PCR and western blotting. Fortarget gene messenger RNA depletion, cells seeded in 12-well plates were transfectedwith the pSUPERSTAR-shRNA construct. After 24 h, cells were divided betweentwo plates. Following an additional 48 h of growth, total RNA from plate onewas isolated using RNeasy columns (Qiagen). HEK293 cells from the duplicateplate were collected, stained with anti-CD4-allophycocyanin and analysed using aFACSCalibur (Becton Dickenson) to determine transfection efficiency. Transcriptlevels were subsequently measured by quantitative real-time PCR with reversetranscription (qRT–PCR) with an IQ5 Real Time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad),using the iScript One-Step RT-PCR kit with SYBR green (Bio-Rad), in triplicatereactions according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Primer sequences are listedin Supplementary Table S9.
For analysis of shRNA-mediated effects on target protein levels, HEK293 cellswere transfected with the expression plasmid encoding S-tagged target protein alongwith the corresponding control or shRNA-targeting plasmid at a ratio of 1:3. Levelsof the S-tagged target protein were subsequently analysed by immunoblotting ofeither SDS-solubilized cell lysates or of S-protein agarose affinity-purified proteins.
Measurement of UPR induction of the ERAD network. HEK293 cells wereincubated in the absence or presence of 10 µgml−1 tunicamycin and total RNAwas isolated using RNeasy columns (Qiagen). Transcript levels were analysed byqRT–PCRwith an IQ5 Real Time PCRDetection System (Bio-Rad) using the iScriptOne-Step RT-PCR kit with SYBR green (Bio-Rad), in triplicate reactions, accordingto the manufacturer’s instructions. Individual reaction efficiencies were determinedusing the LinRegPCR software and fold change in gene expression was calculated

Immunofluorescence microscopic analysis of protein localization andtopology. HeLa cells grown on poly-l-lysine-coated glass coverslips were fixedwith4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 and blocked by 1%bovine serum albumin. Primary antibody incubation (2 h at room temperature) wasfollowed by incubation with AlexaFluor secondary antibodies (Invitrogen, 1 h atroom temperature). Nuclei were stained with 10 µgml−1 bisbenzamide for 10minbefore mounting. For analysis of protein topology, HeLa cells grown and fixed asabove were permeabilized with either 20 µM digitonin for 1.5min or 0.1% TritonX-100 for 3min at room temperature to allow permeabilization of the plasmamembrane or permeabilization of both the plasma and ERmembranes, respectively.Cells were washed three times with PBS and immunostained as described above.Stained cells were visualized on a Zeiss Axiovert 200M (×40 air objective) and theresulting images were acquired digitally (Roper Scientific).
Sucrose gradient fractionation. HEK293 cells were lysed as described above. Aquantity of 1.5mg of total protein from cleared lysates was adjusted to 5% sucroseand loaded onto 10–40% continuous sucrose gradients (containing 0.1% digitonin)prepared using aGradientMaster (BioComp). Samples were centrifuged in an SW41rotor at 39,000 r.p.m. for 14.25 h at 4 ◦C. Fractions of 1ml in volume were collected,sucrose concentrations were adjusted to approximately 20% with lysis buffer, andS-tagged proteins were affinity purified with S-protein agarose.
Metabolic labelling and pulse-chase assay. Pulse-chase assays of GFP–GluR1reporter cells were carried out as described previously39.
Proteomic interactiondata set analysis. LC–MS/MS analysis of replicate affinity-purified protein complexes from 25 bait proteins identified a total of 10,481 proteinsin digitonin and 8,262 in Triton X-100. Approximately two-thirds were redundantentries, with the number of proteins having unique GenInfo Identifier numbersreduced to 3,325 (digitonin, 31.7%) and 2,917 (Triton X-100, 35.9%) for theentire analysis. A total of 320 (digitonin) and 202 (Triton X-100) entries weredesignated as HCIPs by CompPASS (WDN-score > 1) and included redundantentries representing shared interactors (Supplementary Tables S2 and S3). Abreakdown of digitonin and Triton X-100 HCIPs is presented in SupplementaryTable S4, including specific analyses for primary and secondary baits. The totalnumber of CompPASS-identified HCIPs represents all bait-interacting proteins.Bait proteins often had WDN-score > 10, but as we could not distinguish baitfrom an endogenous, homo-oligomerized counterpart, HCIPs representing theiridentical bait proteins were not considered (bait self-identification), neither weretrypsin (introduced during the experimental method (trypsin)) and proteins pulled
down non-specifically by S-protein agarose from untransfected HEK293 cells (beadcontrol). The result yielded 267 (digitonin) and 153 (Triton X-100) interactions(cellular HCIPs/ERAD interactions) with 143 (digitonin) and 97 (Triton X-100)corresponding to unique HCIPs. Proteins whose gene ontology assignments werecytoskeletal, mitochondrial, peroxisomal or nuclear (for example, MYH9, KRT8,PEX19, TOMM20 and MCM2) were deemed unlikely to be ERAD-related andremoved from subsequent analysis (likely false positives) and indicated as suchin individual interactomes (Supplementary Fig. S4). To determine the numberof new HCIPs identified, all primary and secondary baits were subtracted (otherprimary/secondary baits as prey), as well as proteins implicated in ERAD (forexample, VCP, GRP94 and proteasome subunits) but not used as bait (reportedERAD factors). Ultimately, we identified 59 (digitonin) and 30 (Triton X-100)uncharacterized proteins of interest with a wide range of topologies and functionaldomains, and a potential role within the ERAD network (Supplementary Fig. S3d,not including the 10 secondary baits).
Comparison and integration of proteomic data set with reportedinteractions. A list of reported pairwise interactions for ERAD components frompublished data was manually curated and used to generate a more comprehensivepicture of the mammalian ERAD interaction network (Supplementary Table S5).This table includes: an assigned ‘interaction number’; bait and prey definingthe interaction and whether our study used the bait (red); the method(s) ofidentification (for example, affinity capture-MS, two-hybrid, and so on) and therelevant reference(s) for the reported interaction; whether the reciprocal interactionwas shown and its corresponding ‘interaction number’; detection of the reportedinteraction in our digitonin or Triton X-100 interaction networks; and the presenceof this interaction in the STRING online protein interaction database. STRINGlists only 33/131 reported interactions (∼25%), supporting the use of a manuallycurated list rather an online resource. Of the 81 reported interactions using the25 primary/secondary baits, 31 were confirmed by our proteomic analysis with anadditional 3 being identified in a reciprocal interaction not previously reported.Seven more reported interactions were observed but were subthreshold (WDN< 1).We identified 21 reciprocal and 36 unidirectional interactions between baits andERAD components, and interactions with 71 uncharacterized proteins of interestthat scored above the threshold for HCIP classification (Supplementary Table S5and Fig. S3d). Combining reported pairwise interactions (Supplementary TableS5) with INfERAD (Fig. 2) and the RNAi-mediated ‘epistasis-like’ experiments(Fig. 3) yielded an up-to-date, comprehensive view of the ERAD interaction network(Supplementary Fig. S5).

Non-ER/Suspected Contaminants
HCIPs of interest
Kopito Supplemental Figure S4
Figure S4 Interaction maps for individual ERAD baits. Interactomes for each individual S-tagged ERAD component are shown, representing HCIPs detected in DIG only (dashed-green line), TX-100 only (dashed-purple line), and both DIG and TX-100 (solid-black line). ER-localised / ERAD-related HCIPs are indicated with red text and where appropriate, by their assigned colour from
Fig. 2. HCIPs of interest are depicted as dark brown circles with either red or black text, depending on their predicted localisation. HCIPs with alternative GO localisation (i.e. non-ER) and suspected non-specific contaminants are shown as: cytoplasmic/nuclear (grey circles, grey text), peroxisomal (beige circles, green text) and mitochondrial (light brown circles, light blue text).

Figure S7 Unassembled GluR1 is a bona fide ERAD substrate. (a) Illustration of GFP-GluR1 fusion protein topology. (b) Colocalisation of GFP-GluR1 (green) expressed in HEK293 cells with the ER marker calnexin (red). Nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue). (c) HA-GluR1 migration in the absence and presence of Endo H and MG132 (10 mM). EndoH sensitivity indicates that GluR1 is retained in the ER in its core glycosylated form and proteasome inhibition does not promote its maturation. (d) GFP-GluR1 pulse-chase assay. A t1/2 for GluR1 was
calculated to be ~2.5 hrs. and its degradation is mitigated by MG132. (e) GluR1 is ubiquitinated upon addition of MG132. GFP-GluR1 was immunoprecipitated with anti-GFP antibody, and Western blots were probed with anti-Ub (top) and anti-GFP antibodies (bottom). (f) Fluorescence histograms of the GFP-GluR1 stable cell line untreated (CTRL) and treated with MG132 (6 hrs, 10 mM) as measured by flow cytometry (left). Time course of GFP-GluR1 degradation after treatment with MG132 (10 mM) and/or emetine (10 mM) over 12 hrs (right).

Kopito Supplemental Figure S8
Figure S8 Validation of shRNA knockdown by Western blotting and qRT-PCR. To determine the efficacy of shRNA constructs targeting the each gene, plasmids encoding the corresponding S-tagged or myc-tagged target protein were transiently co-expressed in HEK293 cells with a control shRNA construct or the targeting shRNA construct (indicated by the library reference number; Table S7a). SDS-solubilised cellular lysates (a-c) or S-protein agarose affinity-purified proteins from TX-100 lysates (d-v) were separated by SDS-PAGE and analysed by Western blotting with anti-S-peptide or anti-myc
antibodies and anti-tubulin antibodies as a loading control. (w) To determine the efficacy of shRNA constructs at depleting the target transcript, a control shRNA plasmid targeting firefly luciferase or shRNA plasmids targeting potential ERAD components (indicated by the library reference number; Table S7a) were transiently expressed in HEK293 cells. Transcript levels for the indicated components were determined by qRT-PCR, normalised to cells transfected with the control plasmid targeting firefly luciferase and to the percentage of transfection, and presented as the normalised expression level.

comprehensive ERAD interactome (Fig. S5) to construct an integrated snapshot of substrate-specific functional ERAD networks for two example substrates, TTR(D18G)-GFP (panel (a)) and GFP-GluR1 (panel (b)).

Supplementary Tables
Table S1 Listing of primary and secondary bait proteins. Primary (top) and secondary (bottom) S-tagged proteins employed as baits in the proteomic analyses are shown with relevant information including alternative names, known functions, protein domains/repeats, cellular localisation (ER-L: ER luminal, ER-M: ER integral membrane, C: cytoplasmic), and identified yeast orthologs (Standard and Systematic name) are also shown.
Table S2 CompPASS-identified HCIPs and complete MASCOT list of interactors in DIG. (a) Listing of proteins interacting in DIG that displayed a WDN-score above the threshold score of 1 and were therefore designated as HCIPs. Also shown are additional statistical measures of interactor confidence, including Z-score, WS-score, and ZD-score. Self-identification of the bait protein identified is shown in red. (b) Listing of all MASCOT-identified protein interactors and their respective number of peptide scans found in affinity purifications of bait proteins from DIG-solubilised cell lysates.
Table S3 CompPASS-identified HCIPs and complete MASCOT list of interactors in TX-100. (a) Listing of proteins interacting in TX-100 that displayed a WDN-score above the threshold score of 1 and were therefore designated as HCIPs. Also shown are additional statistical measures of interactor confidence, including Z-score, WS-score, and ZD-score. The bait protein identified in each purification is shown in red. (b) Listing of all MASCOT-identified protein interactors and their respective number of peptide scans found in affinity purifications of bait proteins from TX-100-solubilised cell lysates.
Table S4 Analysis of proteomic interaction data. (a) Analysis and breakdown of proteomic data obtained in DIG. The total number of HCIPs identified by CompPASS is shown as well as the number of scans contributed by Bait self-identification, Trypsin, and Bead controls that were removed to yield the total number of HCIPs/ERAD interactions. The total number HCIPs is further broken down into likely false positives, primary / secondary baits obtained as prey, reported ERAD factors, and uncharacterised proteins of interest. The number of HCIPs is also shown separately for primary and secondary baits, as well as the overlap between these two data sets. (b) Same as in panel (a), but for data obtained in TX-100.
Table S5 Previously reported ERAD component interactions. Listing of reported pairwise interactions. Each interaction between a bait and prey was assigned an ‘interaction number’. The method by which the interaction was identified and the relevant reference (blue text) are indicated. Proteins used as baits in this study are shown (red text), and gray shading indicates proteins that were not employed as baits or identified as HCIPs in this study. The identification of the reported interaction in our DIG or TX-100 analyses or in the STRING database is indicated as an ‘O’ (identified) or as an ‘X’ (not identified). A comparative analysis of the reported interactions literature and those identified in our study is shown in the inset table.
Table S6 E3-proteasome subunit interactions. Listing of all MASCOT-identified proteasome subunits, their number of peptide scans, and their spectral abundance factor (SAF) from affinity purifications of the E3s Hrd1 and gp78 in DIG or TX-100 as indicated. Proteasome subunits determined by CompPASS to be HCIPs (WDN-score > 1) are highlighted in blue.
Table S7 Raw substrate fluorescence data from the primary ERAD reporter screen. (a). Complete listing of all shRNA target sequences, library reference numbers, and their effects on the fluorescence levels of the ERAD reporter cell lines tested in the initial round of screening, including GFPu, GFP-GluR1, TTR(D18G)-GFP, A1AT(NHK)-GFP, and GFP-CFTR(∆F508). (b) shRNA constructs employed in the second round of screening in the following cell lines: GFPu, GFP-GluR1, TTR(D18G)-GFP, A1AT(NHK)-GFP, A1AT(NHK-QQQ)-GFP, GFP-CFTR(∆F508), and GFP cell lines. These data are represented as a heat map in Fig. 4f.
