Two-Step Mechanism of Cyclin B Degradation Initiated by Proteolytic Cleavage with the 26?S Proteasome in Fish.

ABSTRACT: To complete meiosis II, cyclin B is degraded in a short period by the inactivation of M-phase promoting factor (MPF). Previously, we showed that the destruction of cyclin B was initiated by the ubiquitin-independent proteolytic activity of the 26?S proteasome through an initial cut in the N-terminus of cyclin (at K57 in the case of goldfish cyclin B). We hypothesized that this cut allows cyclin to be ubiquitinated for further destruction by the ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic pathway, which leads to MPF inactivation. In this study, we aimed to identify the ubiquitination site for further degradation. The destruction of cyclin B point mutants in which lysine residues in a lysine-rich stretch following the cut site of cyclin B had been mutated was analyzed. All the lysine point mutants except K57R (a point mutant in which K57 was substituted with arginine) were susceptible to proteolytic cleavage by the 26?S proteasome. However, the degradation of the K77R and K7677R mutants in Xenopus egg extracts was significantly slower than the degradation of other mutants, and a 42?kDa truncated form of cyclin B was detected during the onset of the degradation of these mutants. The truncated form of recombinant cyclin B, an N-terminal truncated cyclin B?57 produced as cut by the 26?S proteasome, was not further cleaved by the 26?S proteasome but rather degraded in Xenopus egg extracts. The injection of the K57R, K77R and K7677R cyclin B proteins stopped cleavage in Xenopus embryos. From the results of a series of experiments, we concluded that cyclin B degradation involves a two-step mechanism initiated by initial ubiquitin-independent cleavage by the 26?S proteasome at lysine 57 followed by its ubiquitin-dependent destruction by the 26?S proteasome following ubiquitination at lysine 77.

Project description:Sphingobium phenoxybenzoativorans SC_3 degrades and utilizes diphenyl ether (DE) or 2-carboxy-DE as its sole carbon and energy source. In this study, we report the degradation of DE and 2-carboxy-DE initiated by a novel ring cleavage angular dioxygenase (diphenyl ether dioxygenase [Dpe]) in the strain. Dpe functions at the angular carbon and its adjacent carbon (C-1a, C-2) of a benzene ring in DE (or the 2-carboxybenzene ring in 2-carboxy-DE) and cleaves the C-1a-C-2 bond (decarboxylation occurs simultaneously for 2-carboxy-DE), yielding 2,4-hexadienal phenyl ester, which is subsequently hydrolyzed to muconic acid semialdehyde and phenol. Dpe is a type IV Rieske non-heme iron oxygenase (RHO) and consists of three components: a hetero-oligomer oxygenase, a [2Fe-2S]-type ferredoxin, and a glutathione reductase (GR)-type reductase. Genetic analyses revealed that dpeA1A2 plays an essential role in the degradation and utilization of DE and 2-carboxy-DE in S. phenoxybenzoativorans SC_3. Enzymatic study showed that transformation of 1 molecule of DE needs two molecules of oxygen and two molecules of NADH, supporting the assumption that the cleavage of DE catalyzed by Dpe is a continuous two-step dioxygenation process: DE is dioxygenated at C-1a and C-2 to form a hemiacetal-like intermediate, which is further deoxygenated, resulting in the cleavage of the C-1a-C-2 bond to form one molecule of 2,4-hexadienal phenyl ester and two molecules of H2O. This study extends our knowledge of the mode and mechanism of ring cleavage of aromatic compounds.IMPORTANCE Benzene ring cleavage, catalyzed by dioxygenase, is the key and speed-limiting step in the aerobic degradation of aromatic compounds. As previously reported, in the ring cleavage of DEs, the benzene ring needs to be first dihydroxylated at a lateral position and subsequently dehydrogenated and opened through extradiol cleavage. This process requires three enzymes (two dioxygenases and one dehydrogenase). In this study, we identified a novel angular dioxygenase (Dpe) in S. phenoxybenzoativorans SC_3. Under Dpe-mediated catalysis, the benzene ring of DE is dioxygenated at the angular position (C-1a, C-2), resulting in the cleavage of the C-1a-C-2 bond to generate a novel product, 2,4-hexadienal phenyl ester. This process needs only one angular dioxygenase, Dpe. Thus, the ring cleavage catalyzed by Dpe represents a novel mechanism of benzene ring cleavage.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Neuronal cell loss contributes to the pathology of acute and chronic neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). It remains crucial to identify molecular mechanisms sensitizing neurons to various insults and cell death. To date, the multifunctional, autophagy-related protein Beclin 1 has been shown to be both necessary and sufficient for neuronal integrity in neurodegenerative models associated with protein aggregation. Interestingly, besides its role in cellular homeostasis, Beclin 1 has also been ascribed a role in apoptosis. This makes it critical to elucidate whether Beclin 1 regulates neuronal death and survival across neurodegenerative conditions independent of protein clearance. Here, we provide experimental evidence for a direct functional link between proteolytic cleavage of Beclin 1 and apoptotic neuronal cell loss in two independent models of neurodegeneration in vivo. METHODS:Proteolytic cleavage of Beclin 1 was characterized in lysates of human AD brain samples. We developed viral tools allowing for the selective neuronal expression of the various Beclin 1 forms, including Beclin 1 cleavage products as well as a cleavage-resistant form. The effect of these Beclin 1 forms on survival and integrity of neurons was examined in models of acute and chronic neurodegeneration in vitro and in vivo. Markers of neuronal integrity, neurodegeneration and inflammation were further assessed in a Kainic acid-based mouse model of acute excitotoxic neurodegeneration and in a hAPP-transgenic mouse model of AD following perturbation of Beclin 1 in the susceptible CA1 region of the hippocampus. RESULTS:We find a significant increase in caspase-mediated Beclin 1 cleavage fragments in brain lysates of human AD patients and mimic this phenotype in vivo using both an excitotoxic and hAPP-transgenic mouse model of neurodegeneration. Surprisingly, overexpression of the C-terminal cleavage-fragment exacerbated neurodegeneration in two distinct models of degeneration. Local inhibition of caspase activity ameliorated neurodegeneration after excitotoxic insult and prevented Beclin 1 cleavage. Furthermore, overexpression of a cleavage-resistant form of Beclin 1 in hippocampal neurons conferred neuroprotection against excitotoxic and Amyloid beta-associated insults in vivo. CONCLUSIONS:Together, these findings indicate that the cleavage state of Beclin 1 determines its functional involvement in both neurodegeneration and neuroprotection. Hence, manipulating the cleavage state of Beclin 1 may represent a therapeutic strategy for preventing neuronal cell loss across multiple forms of neurodegeneration.
