SUMO protease SENP1 induces isomerization of the scissile peptide bond.

ABSTRACT: Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-specific protease SENP1 processes SUMO-1, SUMO-2 and SUMO-3 to mature forms and deconjugates them from modified proteins. To establish the proteolytic mechanism, we determined structures of catalytically inactive SENP1 bound to SUMO-1-modified RanGAP1 and to unprocessed SUMO-1. In each case, the scissile peptide bond is kinked at a right angle to the C-terminal tail of SUMO-1 and has the cis configuration of the amide nitrogens. SENP1 preferentially processes SUMO-1 over SUMO-2, but binding thermodynamics of full-length SUMO-1 and SUMO-2 to SENP1 and K(m) values for processing are very similar. However, k(cat) values differ by 50-fold. Thus, discrimination between unprocessed SUMO-1 and SUMO-2 by SENP1 is based on a catalytic step rather than substrate binding and is likely to reflect differences in the ability of SENP1 to correctly orientate the scissile bonds in SUMO-1 and SUMO-2.

SUMO protease SENP1 deSUMOylates and stabilizes c-Myc.

Project description:Posttranslational modifications play a crucial role in the proper control of c-Myc protein stability and activity. c-Myc can be modified by small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO). However, how SUMOylation regulates c-Myc stability and activity remains to be elucidated. The deSUMOylation enzyme, SENP1, has recently been shown to have a prooncogenic role in cancer; however, mechanistic understanding of this is limited. Here we show that SENP1 is a c-Myc deSUMOylating enzyme. SENP1 interacts with and deSUMOylates c-Myc in cells and in vitro. Overexpression of wild-type SENP1, but not its catalytically inactive C603S mutant, markedly stabilizes c-Myc and increases its levels and activity. Knockdown of SENP1 reduces c-Myc levels, induces cell cycle arrest, and drastically suppresses cell proliferation. We further show that c-Myc can be comodified by both ubiquitination and SUMOylation. SENP1-mediated deSUMOylation reduces c-Myc polyubiquitination, suggesting that SUMOylation promotes c-Myc degradation through the proteasome system. Interestingly, SENP1-mediated deSUMOylation promotes the accumulation of monoubiquitinated c-Myc and its phosphorylation at serine 62 and threonine 58. SENP1 is frequently overexpressed, correlating with the high expression of c-Myc, in breast cancer tissues. Together, these results reveal that SENP1 is a crucial c-Myc deSUMOylating enzyme that positively regulates c-Myc's stability and activity.

Repression of the SUMO-specific protease Senp1 induces p53-dependent premature senescence in normal human fibroblasts.

Project description:The proliferative lifespan of normal somatic human cells in culture terminates in a permanent growth-arrested state known as replicative senescence. In this study, we show that RNA interference-mediated repression of the genes encoding the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO)-specific proteases, Senp1, Senp2, and Senp7, induced low passage primary human fibroblasts to senesce rapidly. Following Senp1 repression, we observed a global increase in sumoylated proteins and in the number and size of nuclear SUMO-containing promyelocytic leukemia (PML) bodies. SUMO/PML bodies also increased during replicative senescence. p53 transcriptional activity was enhanced towards known p53 target genes following repression of Senp1, and inhibition of p53 function prevented senescence after Senp1 repression. These data indicate that Senp1 repression induces p53-mediated premature senescence and that SUMO proteases may thus be required for proliferation of normal human cells.

Mapping residues of SUMO precursors essential in differential maturation by SUMO-specific protease, SENP1.

Project description:SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier) is a member of the ubiquitin-like protein family that regulates cellular function of a variety of target proteins. SUMO proteins are expressed as their precursor forms. Cleavage of the residues after the 'GG' region of these precursors by SUMO-specific proteases in maturation is a prerequisite for subsequent sumoylation. To understand further this proteolytic processing, we expressed and purified SENP1 (sentrin-specific protease 1), one of the SUMO-specific proteases, using an Escherichia coli expression system. We show that SENP1 is capable of processing all SUMO-1, -2 and -3 in vitro; however, the proteolytic efficiency of SUMO-1 is the highest followed by SUMO-2 and -3. We demonstrate further that the catalytic domain of SENP1 (SENP1C) alone can determine the substrate specificity towards SUMO-1, -2 and -3. Replacement of the C-terminal fragments after the 'GG' region of SUMO-1 and -2 precursors with that of the SUMO-3, indicates that the C-terminal fragment is essential for efficient maturation. In mutagenesis analysis, we further map two residues immediately after the 'GG' region, which determine the differential maturation. Distinct patterns of tissue distribution of SENP1, SUMO-1, -2 and -3 are characterized. Taken together, we suggest that the observed differential maturation process has its physiological significance in the regulation of the sumoylation pathway.

TCR-Induced Tyrosine Phosphorylation at Tyr270 of SUMO Protease SENP1 by Lck Modulates SENP1 Enzyme Activity and Specificity.

Project description:Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) modification plays an important regulatory role in T cell receptor (TCR) signaling transduction. SUMO-specific proteases (SENPs) have dual-enzyme activities; they can both process SUMO precursors as endopeptidases and participate in SUMO deconjugation as isopeptidases. It remains unclear how the SUMO system, especially SENP1, is regulated by TCR signaling. Here, we show that Lck phosphorylates tyrosine 270 (Y270) of SENP1 upon TCR stimulation, indicating that SENP1 is a substrate of Lck. In vitro endopeptidase activity analysis showed that mutating SENP1 Y270 to either phenylalanine (F) to mimic the phosphorylation-defective state or to glutamate (E) to mimic the negative charge of tyrosine phosphorylation in the enzyme microenvironment did not change its endopeptidase activity towards pre-SUMO1. However, SENP1 Y270E but not Y270F mutation exhibited decreased endopeptidase activity towards pre-SUMO3. Through in vivo isopeptidase activity analysis by rescue expression of SENP1 and its Y270 mutants in a SENP1 CRISPR knockout T cell line, we found that SENP1 Y270F downregulated its isopeptidase activity towards both SUMO1 and SUMO2/3 conjugation by reducing SENP1 binding with sumoylated targets. While overexpression of SENP1 inhibited TCR-induced IL-2 production, overexpression of SENP1 Y270F enhanced it instead. In summary, TCR-induced Y270 phosphorylation of SENP1 may promote its isopeptidase activity and specifically decrease its endopeptidase activity against pre-SUMO3, which finely tunes activation of T cells.

Crystal structure of the SENP1 mutant C603S-SUMO complex reveals the hydrolytic mechanism of SUMO-specific protease.

Project description:SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier)-specific proteases catalyse the maturation and de-conjugation processes of the sumoylation pathway and modulate various cellular responses including nuclear metabolism and cell cycle progression. The active-site cysteine residue is conserved among all known SUMO-specific proteases and is not substitutable by serine in the hydrolysis reactions demonstrated previously in yeast. We report here that the catalytic domain of human protease SENP1 (SUMO-specific protease 1) mutant SENP1C(C603S) carrying a mutation of cysteine to serine at the active site is inactive in maturation and de-conjugation reactions. To further understand the hydrolytic mechanism catalysed by SENP1, we have determined, at 2.8 A resolution (1 A = 0.1 nm), the X-ray structure of SENP1C(C603S)-SUMO-1 complex. A comparison of the structure of SENP2-SUMO-1 suggests strongly that SUMO-specific proteases require a self-conformational change prior to cleavage of peptide or isopeptide bond in the maturation and de-conjugation processes respectively. Moreover, analysis of the interface of SENP1 and SUMO-1 has led to the identification of four unique amino acids in SENP1 that facilitate the binding of SUMO-1. By means of an in vitro assay, we further demonstrate a novel function of SENP1 in hydrolysing the thioester linkage in E1-SUMO and E2-SUMO complexes. The results disclose a new mechanism of regulation of the sumoylation pathway by the SUMO-specific proteases.

Conformational flexibility and changes underlying activation of the SUMO-specific protease SENP1 by remote substrate binding.

Project description:Ubiquitin-like (Ubl) modifications regulate nearly all cellular functions in eukaryotes with the largest superfamily of Ubl-specific proteases being Cys proteases. SENP1 is a model for this protease family and responsible for processing SUMO. Here using nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation measurements, chemical shift perturbation and enzyme kinetic analysis, we provide structural insights into the mechanism of substrate recognition coupled enzymatic activation within SENP1. We find that residues in the catalytic channel of SENP1, including the 'lid' residue Trp465, exhibit dynamics over a range of timescales, both in the presence and absence of bound substrates. The β-grasp domain of SUMO1 alone induces structural changes at ~20 Å away in the active site of SENP1, revealing the importance of this domain in activating the enzyme. These findings likely represent general properties of the mechanism of substrate recognition and processing by SENPs and other Ubl-specific proteases, and illuminate how adaptive substrate binding can allosterically enhance enzyme activity.

Solvent Effects on the Energetics of Prolyl Peptide Bond Isomerization.

Project description:Racemic Ac-Gly-[?,?-(13)C]Pro-OMe was synthesized, and the kinetics and thermodynamics of the isomerization of its prolyl peptide bond were determined in nine solvents by using NMR and IR spectroscopy. The free energy of activation is 1.3 kcal/mol larger in water than in aprotic solvents, and correlates with the ability of a solvent to donate a hydrogen bond but not with solvent polarity. These results are consistent with conventional pictures of amide resonance, which require transfer of charge between oxygen and nitrogen during isomerization. Similar medium effects may modulate the stability of planar peptide bonds in the active site of peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIases) and during the folding, function, or lysis of proteins.

The SUMO protease SENP1 and the chromatin remodeler CHD3 interact and jointly affect chromatin accessibility and gene expression.

Project description:The small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) post-translationally modifies lysine residues of transcription factors and co-regulators and thereby contributes to an important layer of control of the activities of these transcriptional regulators. Likewise, deSUMOylation of these factors by the sentrin-specific proteases (SENPs) also plays a role in gene regulation, but whether SENPs functionally interact with other regulatory factors that control gene expression is unclear. In the present work, we focused on SENP1, specifically, on its role in activation of gene expression investigated through analysis of the SENP1 interactome, which revealed that SENP1 physically interacts with the chromatin remodeler chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 3 (CHD3). Using several additional methods, including GST pulldown and co-immunoprecipitation assays, we validated and mapped this interaction, and using CRISPR-Cas9-generated CHD3- and SENP1-KO cells (in the haploid HAP1 cell line), we investigated whether these two proteins are functionally linked in regulating chromatin remodeling and gene expression. Genome-wide ATAC-Seq analysis of the CHD3- and SENP1-KO cells revealed a large degree of overlap in differential chromatin openness between these two mutant cell lines. Moreover, motif analysis and comparison with ChIP-Seq profiles in K562 cells pointed to an association of CHD3 and SENP1 with CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) and SUMOylated chromatin-associated factors. Lastly, genome-wide RNA-Seq also indicated that these two proteins co-regulate the expression of several genes. We propose that the functional link between chromatin remodeling by CHD3 and deSUMOylation by SENP1 uncovered here provides another level of control of gene expression.

Disruption of SUMO-specific protease 2 induces mitochondria mediated neurodegeneration.

Project description:Post-translational modification of proteins by small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) is reversible and highly evolutionarily conserved from yeasts to humans. Unlike ubiquitination with a well-established role in protein degradation, sumoylation may alter protein function, activity, stability and subcellular localization. Members of SUMO-specific protease (SENP) family, capable of SUMO removal, are involved in the reversed conjugation process. Although SUMO-specific proteases are known to reverse sumoylation in many well-defined systems, their importance in mammalian development and pathogenesis remains largely elusive. In patients with neurodegenerative diseases, aberrant accumulation of SUMO-conjugated proteins has been widely described. Several aggregation-prone proteins modulated by SUMO have been implicated in neurodegeneration, but there is no evidence supporting a direct involvement of SUMO modification enzymes in human diseases. Here we show that mice with neural-specific disruption of SENP2 develop movement difficulties which ultimately results in paralysis. The disruption induces neurodegeneration where mitochondrial dynamics is dysregulated. SENP2 regulates Drp1 sumoylation and stability critical for mitochondrial morphogenesis in an isoform-specific manner. Although dispensable for development of neural cell types, this regulatory mechanism is necessary for their survival. Our findings provide a causal link of SUMO modification enzymes to apoptosis of neural cells, suggesting a new pathogenic mechanism for neurodegeneration. Exploring the protective effect of SENP2 on neuronal cell death may uncover important preventive and therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases.

O-acylation of hydroxyproline residues: effect on peptide-bond isomerization and collagen stability.

Project description:In collagen, strands of the sequence XaaYaaGly form a triple-helical structure. The Yaa residue is often (2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline (Hyp). The inductive effect of the hydroxyl group of Hyp residues greatly increases collagen stability. Here, electron withdrawal by the hydroxyl group in Hyp and its 4S diastereomer (hyp) is increased by the addition of an acetyl group or trifluoroacetyl group. The crystalline structures of AcHyp[C(O)CH3]OMe and Achyp[C(O)CH3]OMe are similar to those of AcHypOMe and AcProOMe, respectively. The O-acylation of AcHypOMe and AchypOMe increases the 13C chemical shift of its Cgamma atom: AcHyp[C(O)CF3]OMe congruent with Achyp[C(O)CF3]OMe > AcHyp[C(O)CH3]OMe congruent with Achyp[C(O)CH3]OMe > or = AcHypOMe congruent with AchypOMe. This increased inductive effect is not apparent in the thermodynamics or kinetics of amide bond isomerization. Despite apparently unfavorable steric interactions, (ProHypGly)(10), which is O-acylated with 10 acetyl groups, forms a triple helix that has intermediate stability: (ProHypGly)(10) > {ProHyp[C(O)CH3]Gly}(10) >> (ProProGly)(10). Thus, the benefit to collagen stability endowed by the hydroxyl group of Hyp residues is largely retained by an acetoxyl group.
