The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ssy5 signaling protease is a core component of the plasma membrane (PM)–localized SPS (Ssy1-Ptr3-Ssy5) sensor . In response to extracellular amino acids, the SPS-sensor orchestrates the proteasomal degradation of the inhibitory Ssy5 prodomain. The unfettered catalytic (Cat)-domain cleaves latent transcription factors Stp1 and Stp2, freeing them from negative N-terminal regulatory domains. By studying the spatial and temporal constraints affecting the unfettered Cat-domain, we found that it can cleave substrates not associated with the PM; the Cat-domain efficiently cleaves Stp1 even when fused to the carboxy terminus of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane protein Shr3. The amino acid–induced cleavage of this synthetic membrane–anchored substrate occurs in a Δtether strain lacking ER–PM junctions. We report that the bulk of the Cat-domain is soluble, exhibits a disperse intracellular distribution, and is subject to ubiquitylation. Cat-domain ubiquitylation is dependent on Ptr3 and the integral PM casein kinase I (Yck1/2). Time-course experiments reveal that the non- and ubiquitylated forms of the Cat-domain are stable in cells grown in the absence of inducing amino acids. By contrast, amino acid induction significantly accelerates Cat-domain degradation. These findings provide novel insights into the SPS-sensing pathway and suggest that Cat-domain degradation is a requisite for resetting SPS-sensor signaling.
