Human SHPRH suppresses genomic instability through proliferating cell nuclear antigen polyubiquitination.

ABSTRACT: Differential modifications of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) determine DNA repair pathways at stalled replication forks. In yeast, PCNA monoubiquitination by the ubiquitin ligase (E3) yRad18 promotes translesion synthesis (TLS), whereas the lysine-63-linked polyubiquitination of PCNA by yRad5 (E3) promotes the error-free mode of bypass. The yRad5-dependent pathway is important to prevent genomic instability during replication, although its exact molecular mechanism is poorly understood. This mechanism has remained totally elusive in mammals because of the lack of apparent RAD5 homologues. We report that a putative tumor suppressor gene, SHPRH, is a human orthologue of yeast RAD5. SHPRH associates with PCNA, RAD18, and the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBC13 (E2) and promotes methyl methanesulfonate (MMS)-induced PCNA polyubiquitination. The reduction of SHPRH by stable short hairpin RNA increases sensitivity to MMS and enhances genomic instability. Therefore, the yRad5/SHPRH-dependent pathway is a conserved and fundamental DNA repair mechanism that protects the genome from genotoxic stress.

Project description:Bamboo mosaic virus (BaMV), a member of the Potexvirus genus, has a monopartite positive-strand RNA genome on which five open reading frames (ORFs) are organized. ORF1 encodes a 155-kDa nonstructural protein (REPBaMV) that plays a core function in replication/transcription of the viral genome. To find out cellular factors modulating the replication efficiency of BaMV, a putative REPBaMV-associated protein complex from Nicotiana benthamiana leaf was isolated on an SDS-PAGE gel, and a few proteins preferentially associated with REPBaMV were identified by tandem mass spectrometry. Among them, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was particularly noted. Overexpression of PCNA strongly suppressed the accumulation of BaMV coat protein and RNAs in leaf protoplasts. In addition, PCNA exhibited an inhibitory effect on BaMV polymerase activity. A pulldown assay confirmed a binding capability of PCNA toward BaMV genomic RNA. Mutations at D41 or F114 residues, which are critical for PCNA to function in nuclear DNA replication and repair, disabled PCNA from binding BaMV genomic RNA as well as suppressing BaMV replication. This suggests that PCNA bound to the viral RNA may interfere with the formation of a potent replication complex or block the replication process. Interestingly, BaMV is almost invisible in the newly emerging leaves where PCNA is actively expressed. Accordingly, PCNA is probably one of the factors restricting the proliferation of BaMV in young leaves. Foxtail mosaic virus and Potato virus X were also suppressed by PCNA in the protoplast experiment, suggesting a general inhibitory effect of PCNA on the replication of potexviruses.IMPORTANCE Knowing the dynamic interplay between plant RNA viruses and their host is a basic step toward first understanding how the viruses survive the plant defense mechanisms and second gaining knowledge of pathogenic control in the field. This study found that plant proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) imposes a strong inhibition on the replication of several potexviruses, including Bamboo mosaic virus, Foxtail mosaic virus, and Potato virus X Based on the tests on Bamboo mosaic virus, PCNA is able to bind the viral genomic RNA, and this binding is a prerequisite for the protein to suppress the virus replication. This study also suggests that PCNA plays an important role in restricting the proliferation of potexviruses in the rapidly dividing tissues of plants.
