Growth hormone receptor (GHR) endocytosis is a highly regulated process that depends on the binding and activity of the multimeric ubiquitin ligase, SCF beta TrCP (Skp Cullin F-box). Despite a specific interaction between beta-transducin repeat-containing protein (beta TrCP) and the GHR, and a strict requirement for ubiquitination activity, the receptor is not an obligatory target for SCF beta TrCP-directed Lys(48) polyubiquitination. We now show that also Lys(63)-linked ubiquitin chain formation is required for GHR endocytosis. We identified both the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Ubc13 and the ubiquitin ligase COOH terminus of Hsp70 interacting protein ( CHIP) as being connected to this process. Ubc13 activity and its interaction with CHIP precede endocytosis of GHR. In addition to beta TrCP, CHIP interacts specifically with the cytosolic tails of the dimeric GHR, identifying both Ubc13 and CHIP as novel factors in the regulation of cell surface availability of GHR.
