The chitin synthase Chs3 is a multipass membrane protein whose trafficking is tightly controlled. Accordingly, its exit from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) depends on several complementary mechanisms that ensure its correct folding. Despite its potential failure on its exit, Chs3 is very stable in this compartment, which suggests its poor recognition by ER quality control mechanisms such as endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). Here we show that proper N-glycosylation of its luminal domain is essential to prevent the aggregation of the protein and its subsequent recognition by the Hrd1-dependent ERAD-L machinery. In addition, the interaction of Chs3 with its chaperone Chs7 seems to mask additional cytosolic degrons, thereby avoiding their recognition by the ERAD-C pathway. On top of that, Chs3 molecules that are not degraded by conventional ERAD can move along the ER membrane to reach the inner nuclear membrane, where they are degraded by the inner nuclear membrane-associated degradation (INMAD) system, which contributes to the intracellular homeostasis of Chs3. These results indicate that Chs3 is an excellent model to study quality control mechanisms in the cell and reinforce its role as a paradigm in intracellular trafficking research.
