Regulation of NUB1 Activity through Non-Proteolytic Mdm2-Mediated Ubiquitination.

ABSTRACT: NUB1 (Nedd8 ultimate buster 1) is an adaptor protein which negatively regulates the ubiquitin-like protein Nedd8 as well as neddylated proteins levels through proteasomal degradation. However, molecular mechanisms underlying this function are not completely understood. Here, we report that the oncogenic E3 ubiquitin ligase Mdm2 is a new NUB1 interacting protein which induces its ubiquitination. Interestingly, we found that Mdm2-mediated ubiquitination of NUB1 is not a proteolytic signal. Instead of promoting the conjugation of polyubiquitin chains and the subsequent proteasomal degradation of NUB1, Mdm2 rather induces its di-ubiquitination on lysine 159. Importantly, mutation of lysine 159 into arginine inhibits NUB1 activity by impairing its negative regulation of Nedd8 and of neddylated proteins. We conclude that Mdm2 acts as a positive regulator of NUB1 function, by modulating NUB1 ubiquitination on lysine 159.

Melatonin improves stroke through MDM2-mediated ubiquitination of ACSL4.

Project description:The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of melatonin on ischemic brain injury and elucidate its underlying molecular mechanism. In this investigation, a mouse model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was established using the thread occlusion method, followed by treatment with two different doses of melatonin: 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg. Additionally, HT-22 cells were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) and treated with varying concentrations of melatonin. The findings demonstrated that melatonin significantly reduced the extent of cerebral ischemia, nerve damage, brain edema, and neuronal apoptosis in MCAO mice. In vitro experiments further revealed that melatonin effectively enhanced cell proliferation while reducing cell apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production following OGD/R treatment. Mechanistic investigations unveiled that melatonin exerted its protective effect by inhibiting ferroptosis through modulation of MDM2-mediated ubiquitination of ACSL4. In summary, this study suggests that melatonin regulates the MDM2/ACSL4 pathway to safeguard against ischemic brain injury, thereby providing novel therapeutic targets for such conditions.

Allosteric regulation of deubiquitylase activity through ubiquitination.

Project description:Ataxin-3, the protein responsible for spinocerebellar ataxia type-3, is a cysteine protease that specifically cleaves poly-ubiquitin chains and participates in the ubiquitin proteasome pathway. The enzymatic activity resides in the N-terminal Josephin domain. An unusual feature of ataxin-3 is its low enzymatic activity especially for mono-ubiquitinated substrates and short ubiquitin chains. However, specific ubiquitination at lysine 117 in the Josephin domain activates ataxin-3 through an unknown mechanism. Here, we investigate the effects of K117 ubiquitination on the structure and enzymatic activity of the protein. We show that covalently linked ubiquitin rests on the Josephin domain, forming a compact globular moiety and occupying a ubiquitin binding site previously thought to be essential for substrate recognition. In doing so, ubiquitination enhances enzymatic activity by locking the enzyme in an activated state. Our results indicate that ubiquitin functions both as a substrate and as an allosteric regulatory factor. We provide a novel example in which a conformational switch controls the activity of an enzyme that mediates deubiquitination.

Fine-tuning of IPA1 transactivation activity by E3 ligase IPI7-mediated non-proteolytic K29-ubiquitination during Magnaporthe oryzae infection.

Project description:The Ideal Plant Architecture 1 (IPA1) transcription factor promotes rice yield and immunity through phosphorylation at its amino acid residue Ser163 as a switch. Although phosphorylated IPA1 mimic, IPA1(S163D), directly targets the promoter of immune response gene WRKY45, it cannot activate its expression. Here, we identified a co-activator of IPA1(S163D), a RING-finger E3 ligase IPA1 interactor 7 (IPI7), which fine-tunes the transcriptional activity of IPA1 to timely promote plant immunity and simultaneously maintain growth for yield. IPI7 interacts with IPA1 and promotes K29-polyubiquitination of IPA1 in vitro and in vivo. However, the stability of IPA1 protein is not affected by IPI7-mediated ubiquitination. The IPI7-promoted K29-polyubiquitination of IPA1 is induced by Magnaporthe oryzae infection and required for phosphorylated IPA1 to transactivate WRKY45 expression for immune response but not for plain IPA1 to transactivate DENSE AND ERECT PANICLES 1 (DEP1) expression for panicle development. IPI7 knockout impairs IPA1-mediated immunity but not yield. Our study reveals that plants utilize non-proteolytic K29-ubiquitination as a response to pathogen infection to fine-tune IPA1 transactivation activity for promoting immunity.

SKP2- and OTUD1-regulated non-proteolytic ubiquitination of YAP promotes YAP nuclear localization and activity.

Project description:Dysregulation of YAP localization and activity is associated with pathological conditions such as cancer. Although activation of the Hippo phosphorylation cascade is known to cause cytoplasmic retention and inactivation of YAP, emerging evidence suggests that YAP can be regulated in a Hippo-independent manner. Here, we report that YAP is subject to non-proteolytic, K63-linked polyubiquitination by the SCFSKP2 E3 ligase complex (SKP2), which is reversed by the deubiquitinase OTUD1. The non-proteolytic ubiquitination of YAP enhances its interaction with its nuclear binding partner TEAD, thereby inducing YAP's nuclear localization, transcriptional activity, and growth-promoting function. Independently of Hippo signaling, mutation of YAP's K63-linkage specific ubiquitination sites K321 and K497, depletion of SKP2, or overexpression of OTUD1 retains YAP in the cytoplasm and inhibits its activity. Conversely, overexpression of SKP2 or loss of OTUD1 leads to nuclear localization and activation of YAP. Altogether, our study sheds light on the ubiquitination-mediated, Hippo-independent regulation of YAP.

PIG3 Regulates p53 Stability by Suppressing Its MDM2-Mediated Ubiquitination.

Project description:Under normal, non-stressed conditions, intracellular p53 is continually ubiquitinated by MDM2 and targeted for degradation. However, in response to severe genotoxic stress, p53 protein levels are markedly increased and apoptotic cell death is triggered. Inhibiting the ubiquitination of p53 under conditions where DNA damage has occurred is therefore crucial for preventing the development of cancer, because if cells with severely damaged genomes are not removed from the population, uncontrolled growth can result. However, questions remain about the cellular mechanisms underlying the regulation of p53 stability. In this study, we show that p53-inducible gene 3 (PIG3), which is a transcriptional target of p53, regulates p53 stability. Overexpression of PIG3 stabilized both endogenous and transfected wild-type p53, whereas a knockdown of PIG3 lead to a reduction in both endogenous and UV-induced p53 levels in p53-proficient human cancer cells. Using both in vivo and in vitro ubiquitination assays, we found that PIG3 suppressed both ubiquitination- and MDM2-dependent proteasomal degradation of p53. Notably, we demonstrate that PIG3 interacts directly with MDM2 and promoted MDM2 ubiquitination. Moreover, elimination of endogenous PIG3 in p53-proficient HCT116 cells decreased p53 phosphorylation in response to UV irradiation. These results suggest an important role for PIG3 in regulating intracellular p53 levels through the inhibition of p53 ubiquitination.

Non-proteolytic ubiquitination of OTULIN regulates NF-κB signaling pathway.

Project description:NF-κB signaling regulates diverse processes such as cell death, inflammation, immunity, and cancer. The activity of NF-κB is controlled by methionine 1-linked linear polyubiquitin, which is assembled by the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) and the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBE2L3. Recent studies found that the deubiquitinase OTULIN breaks the linear ubiquitin chain, thus inhibiting NF-κB signaling. Despite the essential role of OTULIN in NF-κB signaling has been established, the regulatory mechanism for OTULIN is not well elucidated. To discover the potential regulators of OTULIN, we analyzed the OTULIN protein complex by proteomics and revealed several OTULIN-binding proteins, including LUBAC and tripartite motif-containing protein 32 (TRIM32). TRIM32 is known to activate NF-κB signaling, but the mechanism is not clear. Genetic complement experiments found that TRIM32 is upstream of OTULIN and TRIM32-mediated NF-κB activation is dependent on OTULIN. Mutagenesis of the E3 ligase domain showed that the E3 ligase activity is essential for TRIM32-mediated NF-κB activation. Further experiments found that TRIM32 conjugates polyubiquitin onto OTULIN and the polyubiquitin blocks the interaction between HOIP and OTULIN, thereby activating NF-κB signaling. Taken together, we report a novel regulatory mechanism by which TRIM32-mediated non-proteolytic ubiquitination of OTULIN impedes the access of OTULIN to the LUBAC and promotes NF-κB activation.

Ribosomal Protein S4 X-Linked as a Novel Modulator of MDM2 Stability by Suppressing MDM2 Auto-Ubiquitination and SCF Complex-Mediated Ubiquitination.

Project description:Mouse double minute 2 (MDM2) is an oncoprotein that is frequently overexpressed in tumors and enhances cellular transformation. Owing to the important role of MDM2 in modulating p53 function, it is crucial to understand the mechanism underlying the regulation of MDM2 levels. We identified ribosomal protein S4X-linked (RPS4X) as a novel binding partner of MDM2 and showed that RPS4X promotes MDM2 stability. RPS4X suppressed polyubiquitination of MDM2 by suppressing homodimer formation and preventing auto-ubiquitination. Moreover, RPS4X inhibited the interaction between MDM2 and Cullin1, a scaffold protein of the Skp1-Cullin1-F-box protein (SCF) complex and an E3 ubiquitin ligase for MDM2. RPS4X expression in cells enhanced the steady-state level of MDM2 protein. RPS4X was associated not only with MDM2 but also with Cullin1 and then blocked the MDM2/Cullin1 interaction. This is the first report of an interaction between ribosomal proteins (RPs) and Cullin1. Our results contribute to the elucidation of the MDM2 stabilization mechanism in cancer cells, expanding our understanding of the new functions of RPs.

SHANK1 facilitates non-small cell lung cancer processes through modulating the ubiquitination of Klotho by interacting with MDM2.

Project description:SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains 1 (SHANK1) is a scaffold protein, plays an important role in the normal function of neuron system. It has recently been shown to be a potential oncogene. In the present study, we report that the expression of SHANK1 is upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and is correlated with clinic pathological characteristics of NSCLC. Moreover, SHANK1 overexpression enhances the proliferation, migration and invasion of NSCLC cells. Mouse cell-derived xenograft model also confirmed the effects of SHANK1 on tumor growth in vivo. Furthermore, we found that SHANK1 increases the protein degradation of Klotho (KL), an important tumor suppressor, through ubiquitination-dependent pathway. In particular, we report discovery of KL as a SHANK1-interacting protein that acts as a new substate of the E3 ubiquitin ligase MDM2. SHANK1 can form a complex with KL and MDM2 and enhance the interaction between KL and MDM2. Our findings reveal an important oncogenic role and mechanism of SHANK1, suggesting SHANK1 can be a potential therapeutic target in NSCLC.

USP39-Mediated Non-Proteolytic Control of ETS2 Suppresses Nuclear Localization and Activity.

Project description:ETS2 is a member of the ETS family of transcription factors and has been implicated in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and tumorigenesis. The aberrant activation of ETS2 is associated with various human cancers, highlighting its importance as a therapeutic target. Understanding the regulatory mechanisms and interacting partners of ETS2 is crucial for elucidating its precise role in cellular processes and developing novel strategies to modulate its activity. In this study, we conducted binding assays using a human deubiquitinase (DUB) library and identified USP39 as a novel ETS2-binding DUB. USP39 interacts with ETS2 through their respective amino-terminal regions, and the zinc finger and PNT domains are not required for this binding. USP39 deubiquitinates ETS2 without affecting its protein stability. Interestingly, however, USP39 significantly suppresses the transcriptional activity of ETS2. Furthermore, we demonstrated that USP39 leads to a reduction in the nuclear localization of ETS2. Our findings provide valuable insights into the intricate regulatory mechanisms governing ETS2 function. Understanding the interplay between USP39 and ETS2 may have implications for therapeutic interventions targeting ETS2-related diseases, including cancer, where the dysregulation of ETS2 is frequently observed.

Project description:The p14(ARF)-MDM2-p53 pathway constitutes an effective mechanism for protecting cells from oncogenic stimuli such as activated Ras and Myc. Importantly, Ras activation induces p14(ARF) and often occurs earlier than p53 inactivation during cancer development. Here, we show that RUNX3, a tumor suppressor in various tumors including stomach, bladder, colon, and lung, is stabilized by Ras activation through the p14(ARF)-MDM2 signaling pathway. RUNX3 directly binds MDM2 through its Runt-related DNA-binding domain. MDM2 blocks RUNX3 transcriptional activity by interacting with RUNX3 through an acidic domain adjacent to the p53-binding domain of MDM2 and ubiquitinates RUNX3 on key lysine residues to mediate nuclear export and proteasomal degradation. Our data indicate that the lineage-specific tumor suppressor RUNX3 and the ubiquitous p53 protein are both principal responders of the p14(ARF)-MDM2 cell surveillance pathway that prevents pathologic consequences of abnormal oncogene activation.
