Abstract
We investigated the molecular mechanism underlying curcumin depletion of ErbB2 protein. Curcumin induced ErbB2 ubiquitination but pretreatment with proteasome inhibitors neither prevented curcumin depletion of ErbB2 protein nor further accumulated ubiquitinated ErbB2. Curcumin increased association of endogenous and ectopically expressed CHIP, a chaperone-dependent ubiquitin ligase, with ErbB2. In COS7 cells cotransfected with ErbB2 and various CHIP plasmids followed by curcumin treatment, CHIP-H260Q (a mutant lacking ubiquitin ligase activity) promoted less curcumin-induced ErbB2 ubiquitination than did wild type CHIP, and CHIP-K30A (a mutant incapable of binding Hsp90 and Hsp70) neither associated with ErbB2 nor promoted its ubiquitination. ErbB2 mutants lacking the kinase domain failed to associate with CHIP and were completely resistant to ubiquitination and depletion induced by curcumin. Finally, curcumin’s Michael reaction acceptor functionality was required for both covalent association of curcumin with ErbB2 and curcumin-mediated ErbB2 depletion. These data suggest (1) that CHIP-dependent ErbB2 ubiquitination is implicated in curcumin-stimulated ErbB2 depletion, and (2) that covalent modification of ErbB2 by curcumin is the proximal signal which initiates this process.
