"Furthermore, we observed that both Nrdp1 stability and ubiquitination were reduced in Min6 β-cells after palmitate treatment (Fig. 6D), thus demonstrating effects consistent with impact on the Clec16a pathway to maintain the upstream mitophagy complex.To determine whether glucolipotoxicity affects Clec16a to impact formation of the Clec16a-Nrdp1-USP8 complex, we overexpressed Clec16a in palmitate-treated Min6 β-cells."

"Previous observations of defective mitochondrial integrity after glucolipotoxicity (7,36), coupled with our findings here of glucolipotoxicity-mediated destabilization of the Clec16a-Nrdp1-USP8 complex, could inspire future in vivo studies to evaluate the importance of dysfunctional mitophagy to β-cell failure in diabetes."

"While the dynamics of the Clec16a-Nrdp1-USP8 complex are still a mystery, it is clear that Clec16a-mediated ubiquitination orchestrates mitophagic flux in β-cells.Our discovery of Clec16a as an E3 ligase, whose function is inhibited by lenalidomide, expands our insight into its functional role in mitophagy."
reach
"Collectively, these findings suggest that functional ubiquitination is necessary for maintaining levels of the constituents of the Clec16a-Nrdp1-USP8 complex as well as providing vital signals for complex assembly.USP8 shares functional overlap with Clec16a/Nrdp1 in the regulation of mitophagic flux, coinciding in their opposing regulation of the E3 ligase Parkin, a critical effector in mitophagy (34)."

"We previously confirmed the formation of the CLEC16A-NRDP1-USP8 mitophagy complex in pancreatic beta cells by several methodologies, including co-immunoprecipitation experiments, cell-free interaction studies, and in vitro as well as cell-based ubiquitination assays, and demonstrated how this complex drives regulated mitophagic flux xref , xref ."

"These results suggest, again, that Clec16a drives assembly of the Clec16a-Nrdp1-USP8 complex by providing essential ubiquitin signals and stabilizing its component proteins.To determine whether the Clec16a-Nrdp1-USP8 axis regulates β-cell function, we assessed the role of Clec16a-mediated ubiquitination on GSIS in Min6 β-cells."
reach
"To clarify whether impaired ubiquitination affected the Clec16a-Nrdp1-USP8 complex as a result of reduced levels of constituents or by impaired complex assembly, we also doubled the amount of Flag-Clec16a plasmid in the presence of KO ubiquitin, resulting in increased levels of Clec16a, USP8, and Nrdp1 (Fig. 4E, lane ++)."
