Target

Full Name
3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Reductase
Function
Catalyzes the conversion of (3S)-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) to mevalonic acid, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of cholesterol and other isoprenoids, thus plays a critical role in cellular cholesterol homeostasis (PubMed:2991281, PubMed:21357570, PubMed:6995544).

HMGCR is the main target of statins, a class of cholesterol-lowering drugs (PubMed:11349148, PubMed:18540668).

PTM
N-glycosylated. Deglycosylated by NGLY1 on release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a sterol-mediated manner.
Undergoes sterol-mediated ubiquitination and ER-associated degradation (ERAD) (PubMed:12535518, PubMed:19458199, PubMed:21778231). Accumulation of sterols in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, triggers binding of the reductase to the ER membrane protein INSIG1 or INSIG2 (PubMed:12535518, PubMed:19458199, PubMed:21778231, PubMed:22143767). The INSIG1 binding leads to the recruitment of the ubiquitin ligase, AMFR/gp78, RNF139 or RNF145, initiating ubiquitination of the reductase (PubMed:12535518, PubMed:19458199, PubMed:21778231). The ubiquitinated reductase is then extracted from the ER membrane and delivered to cytosolic 26S proteosomes by a mechanism probably mediated by the ATPase Valosin-containing protein VCP/p97 (PubMed:12535518, PubMed:19458199, PubMed:21778231). The INSIG2-binding leads to the recruitment of the ubiquitin ligase RNF139, initiating ubiquitination of the reductase (PubMed:22143767). Lys-248 is the main site of ubiquitination (PubMed:19458199). Ubiquitination is enhanced by the presence of a geranylgeranylated protein (PubMed:21778231).
Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation at Ser-872 reduces the catalytic activity.
