Structural analysis of a function-associated loop mutant of the substrate-recognition domain of Fbs1 ubiquitin ligase.

ABSTRACT: The SCF ubiquitin ligase comprises four components: Skp1, Cul1, Rbx1 and a variable-subunit F-box protein. The F-box protein Fbs1, which recognizes the N-linked glycoproteins, is involved in the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation pathway. Although FBG3, another F-box protein, shares 51% sequence identity with Fbs1, FBG3 does not bind glycoproteins. To investigate the sequence-structure relationship of the substrate-binding pocket, the crystal structure of a mutant substrate-binding domain of Fbs1 in which the six nonconserved regions (?1, ?2-?3, ?3-?4, ?5-?6, ?7-?8 and ?9-?10) of Fbs1 were substituted with those of FBG3 was determined. The substrate-binding pocket of this model exhibits structural features that differ from those of Fsb1.

Structural insights into substrate recognition by the SOCS2 E3 ubiquitin ligase.

Project description:The suppressor of cytokine signaling 2 (SOCS2) acts as substrate recognition subunit of a Cullin5 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. SOCS2 binds to phosphotyrosine-modified epitopes as degrons for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, yet the molecular basis of substrate recognition has remained elusive. Here, we report co-crystal structures of SOCS2-ElonginB-ElonginC in complex with phosphorylated peptides from substrates growth hormone receptor (GHR-pY595) and erythropoietin receptor (EpoR-pY426) at 1.98 Å and 2.69 Å, respectively. Both peptides bind in an extended conformation recapitulating the canonical SH2 domain-pY pose, but capture different conformations of the EF loop via specific hydrophobic interactions. The flexible BG loop is fully defined in the electron density, and does not contact the substrate degron directly. Cancer-associated SNPs located around the pY pocket weaken substrate-binding affinity in biophysical assays. Our findings reveal insights into substrate recognition and specificity by SOCS2, and provide a blueprint for small molecule ligand design.

Structural basis for the selection of glycosylated substrates by SCF(Fbs1) ubiquitin ligase.

Project description:The ubiquitin ligase complex SCF(Fbs1), which contributes to the ubiquitination of glycoproteins, is involved in the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation pathway. In SCF ubiquitin ligases, a diverse array of F-box proteins confers substrate specificity. Fbs1/Fbx2, a member of the F-box protein family, recognizes high-mannose oligosaccharides. To elucidate the structural basis of SCF(Fbs1) function, we determined the crystal structures of the Skp1-Fbs1 complex and the sugar-binding domain (SBD) of the Fbs1-glycoprotein complex. The mechanistic model indicated by the structures appears to be well conserved among the SCF ubiquitin ligases. The structure of the SBD-glycoprotein complex indicates that the SBD primarily recognizes Man(3)GlcNAc(2), thereby explaining the broad activity of the enzyme against various glycoproteins. Comparison of two crystal structures of the Skp1-Fbs1 complex revealed the relative motion of a linker segment between the F-box and the SBD domains, which might underlie the ability of the complex to recognize different acceptor lysine residues for ubiquitination.

The HECT domain of the ubiquitin ligase Rsp5 contributes to substrate recognition.

Project description:Ubiquitin modification of endosomal membrane proteins is a signal for active inclusion into the Multivesicular Body (MVB) pathway, resulting in lysosomal degradation. However, the endosome represents a dynamic site of protein sorting with a majority of proteins destined for recycling, rather than MVB targeting. Substrate recognition by ubiquitin ligases is therefore highly regulated. We have investigated substrate recognition by the Nedd4 ortholog Rsp5 as a model for understanding ligase-substrate interactions. Rsp5 interacts directly with its substrate Cps1 via a novel interaction mode. Perturbation of this mode of interaction revealed a compensatory role for the Rsp5 adaptor Bsd2. These results highlight the ability of Rsp5 to interact with substrates via multiple modalities, suggesting additional mechanisms of regulating this interaction and relevant outcomes.

Structural mechanisms of autoinhibition and substrate recognition by the ubiquitin ligase HACE1.

Project description:Ubiquitin ligases (E3s) are pivotal specificity determinants in the ubiquitin system by selecting substrates and decorating them with distinct ubiquitin signals. However, structure determination of the underlying, specific E3-substrate complexes has proven challenging owing to their transient nature. In particular, it is incompletely understood how members of the catalytic cysteine-driven class of HECT-type ligases (HECTs) position substrate proteins for modification. Here, we report a cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the full-length human HECT HACE1, along with solution-based conformational analyses by small-angle X-ray scattering and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry. Structure-based functional analyses in vitro and in cells reveal that the activity of HACE1 is stringently regulated by dimerization-induced autoinhibition. The inhibition occurs at the first step of the catalytic cycle and is thus substrate-independent. We use mechanism-based chemical crosslinking to reconstitute a complex of activated, monomeric HACE1 with its major substrate, RAC1, determine its structure by cryo-EM and validate the binding mode by solution-based analyses. Our findings explain how HACE1 achieves selectivity in ubiquitinating the active, GTP-loaded state of RAC1 and establish a framework for interpreting mutational alterations of the HACE1-RAC1 interplay in disease. More broadly, this work illuminates central unexplored aspects in the architecture, conformational dynamics, regulation and specificity of full-length HECTs.

The conserved RNA recognition motif and C3H1 domain of the Not4 ubiquitin ligase regulate in vivo ligase function.

Project description:The Ccr4-Not complex controls RNA polymerase II (Pol II) dependent gene expression and proteasome function. The Not4 ubiquitin ligase is a Ccr4-Not subunit that has both a RING domain and a conserved RNA recognition motif and C3H1 domain (referred to as the RRM-C domain) with unknown function. We demonstrate that while individual Not4 RING or RRM-C mutants fail to replicate the proteasomal defects found in Not4 deficient cells, mutation of both exhibits a Not4 loss of function phenotype. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the Not4 RRM-C affects a specific subset of Pol II-regulated genes, including those involved in transcription elongation, cyclin-dependent kinase regulated nutrient responses, and ribosomal biogenesis. The Not4 RING, RRM-C, or RING/RRM-C mutations cause a generalized increase in Pol II binding at a subset of these genes, yet their impact on gene expression does not always correlate with Pol II recruitment which suggests Not4 regulates their expression through additional mechanisms. Intriguingly, we find that while the Not4 RRM-C is dispensable for Ccr4-Not association with RNA Pol II, the Not4 RING domain is required for these interactions. Collectively, these data elucidate previously unknown roles for the conserved Not4 RRM-C and RING domains in regulating Ccr4-Not dependent functions in vivo.

Substrate recognition mechanism of the endoplasmic reticulum-associated ubiquitin ligase Doa10.

Project description:Doa10 (MARCH6 in metazoans) is a large polytopic membrane-embedded E3 ubiquitin ligase in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) that plays an important role in quality control of cytosolic and ER proteins. Although Doa10 is highly conserved across eukaryotes, it is not understood how Doa10 recognizes its substrates. Here, we defined the substrate recognition mechanism of Doa10 by structural and functional analyses on Saccharomyces cerevisiae Doa10 and its well-defined degron Deg1. Cryo-EM analysis shows that Doa10 has unusual architecture with a large lipid-filled central cavity, and its conserved middle domain forms an additional water-filled lateral tunnel open to the cytosol. Our biochemical data and molecular dynamics simulations suggest that the entrance of the substrate's degron peptide into the lateral tunnel is required for efficient polyubiquitination. The N- and C-terminal membrane domains of Doa10 seem to form fence-like features to restrict polyubiquitination to those proteins that can access the central cavity and lateral tunnel.

Structural basis for substrate recognition and chemical inhibition of oncogenic MAGE ubiquitin ligases

Project description:Testis-restricted melanoma antigen (MAGE) proteins are frequently hijacked in cancer and play a critical role in tumorigenesis. MAGEs assemble with E3 ubiquitin ligases and function as substrate adaptors that direct the ubiquitination of novel targets, including key tumor suppressors. However, how MAGEs recognize their targets is unknown and has impeded development of MAGE-directed therapeutics. Here, we report the structural basis for substrate recognition by MAGE ubiquitin ligases. Biochemical analysis of the degron motif recognized by MAGE-A11 and the crystal structure of MAGE-A11 bound to the PCF11 substrate uncovered a conserved substrate binding cleft (SBC) in MAGEs. Mutation of the SBC disrupted substrate recognition by MAGEs and blocked MAGE-A11 oncogenic activity. A chemical screen for inhibitors of MAGE-A11:substrate interaction identified 4-aminoquniolines as potent inhibitors of MAGE-A11 that show selective cytotoxicity. These findings provide important insights into the large family of MAGE ubiquitin ligases and identify approaches for development of cancer-specific therapeutics.

Structural basis of the binding of Merlin FERM domain to the E3 ubiquitin ligase substrate adaptor DCAF1.

Project description:The tumor suppressor gene Nf2 product, Merlin, plays vital roles in controlling proper development of organ sizes by specifically binding to a large number of target proteins localized both in cytoplasm and nuclei. The FERM domain of Merlin is chiefly responsible for its binding to target proteins, although the molecular basis governing these interactions are poorly understood due to lack of structural information. Here, we report the crystal structure of the Merlin FERM domain in complex with its binding domain derived from the E3 ubiquitin ligase substrate adaptor DCAF1 (also known as VPRBP). Unlike target binding modes found in ERM proteins, the Merlin-FERM binding domain of DCAF1 folds as a β-hairpin and binds to the α1/β5-groove of the F3 lobe of Merlin-FERM via extensive hydrophobic interactions. In addition to providing the first structural glimpse of a Merlin-FERM·target complex, the structure of the Merlin·DCAF1 complex is likely to be valuable for understanding the interactions of Merlin with its binding partners other than DCAF1.

An allosteric inhibitor of substrate recognition by the SCF(Cdc4) ubiquitin ligase.

Project description:The specificity of SCF ubiquitin ligase-mediated protein degradation is determined by F-box proteins. We identified a biplanar dicarboxylic acid compound, called SCF-I2, as an inhibitor of substrate recognition by the yeast F-box protein Cdc4 using a fluorescence polarization screen to monitor the displacement of a fluorescein-labeled phosphodegron peptide. SCF-I2 inhibits the binding and ubiquitination of full-length phosphorylated substrates by SCF(Cdc4). A co-crystal structure reveals that SCF-I2 inserts itself between the beta-strands of blades 5 and 6 of the WD40 propeller domain of Cdc4 at a site that is 25 A away from the substrate binding site. Long-range transmission of SCF-I2 interactions distorts the substrate binding pocket and impedes recognition of key determinants in the Cdc4 phosphodegron. Mutation of the SCF-I2 binding site abrogates its inhibitory effect and explains specificity in the allosteric inhibition mechanism. Mammalian WD40 domain proteins may exhibit similar allosteric responsiveness and hence represent an extensive class of druggable target.
