Membrane proteins are targeted to the surface transmembrane after folding and assembling in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Misfolded- and unassembled-proteins are degraded by proteasomes following ubiquitination, termed ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) is an oxidative stress-sensitive channel. One of the TRPM2 splicing variants, short TRPM2 (TRPM2-S) having only the N-terminus and first two transmembrane domains, was reported to prevent full-length TRPM2 (TRPM2-L) activation. Although TRPM2-S interacts with TRPM2-L, the inhibitory mechanisms of TRPM2-S are unclear. We found that TRPM2-S prevents transmembrane expression of TRPM2-L by targeting ERAD. TRPM2-S expression was lower than that of TRPM2-L, and was increased by an ERAD inhibitor. TRPM2-S was not expressed at the transmembrane. This suggests that TRPM2-S is a substrate for ERAD. Upon the simultaneous expression of TRPM2-S, the transmembrane expression of TRPM2-L was attenuated and the poly-ubiquitination of TRPM2-L was facilitated. Our study may clarify why TRPM2-S inhibits oxidative stress-induced TRPM2-L activation.
