Plasma cells (PCs) are exposed to intense endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress
imposed by enormous rates of immunoglobulin (Ig) synthesis and secretion.
Therefore, protein homeostasis is crucial for the survival of PCs, but its
molecular mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we found marked overexpression
of FK506-binding protein 13 (FKBP13) in long-lived PCs from autoimmune mice and
investigated its function using a plasmacytoma cell line secreting IgA. FKBP13
expression was induced largely in the lumen of ER in response to treatment with
an ER stressor tunicamycin or overexpression of an adaptive unfolded protein
response (UPR) protein X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1). Silencing of FKBP13
expression led to induction of molecules involved in the terminal UPR and ER
stress-associated apoptosis. FKBP13 interacted with Ig, facilitated its
ubiquitination, and lowered the extent of ER stress. FKBP13 overexpression caused
a significant reduction in secreted IgA in plasmacytoma cells, and FKBP13
knockdown exerted an opposite effect. Rapamycin interfered with the interaction
between FKBP13 and IgA and enhanced the amount of secreted IgA. Importantly, the
level of FKBP13 was inversely correlated with the amount of secreted antibody in
long-lived PCs from autoimmune mice. These results suggest that FKBP13 is a
marker of long-lived PCs and a component of XBP1-dependent ER protein
homeostasis. FKBP13 is likely to act as a molecular chaperone that delivers
misfolded ER clients, including Ig, to ER-associated degradation, so reducing
proteotoxic stress on the PC. Our data reveal a novel cytoprotective role for
FKBP13 in long-lived PCs occurring at the expense of antibody production.
