Suppression of DLBCL Progression by the E3 Ligase Trim35 Is Mediated by CLOCK Degradation and NK Cell Infiltration.

ABSTRACT: The majority of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients develop relapsed or refractory disease after standard ruxolitinib, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy, which is partly related to a dysregulated tumor immune microenvironment. However, how the infiltration of immune cells is appropriately regulated is poorly understood. Herein, we show that the E3 ubiquitin ligase Trim35 is expressed at low levels in human DLBCL tissues. We also show that overexpression of Trim35 suppresses DLBCL cell proliferation and correlates with inferior survival in DLBCL patients. Our mechanistic study shows that Trim35 functions as an E3 ligase to mediate the ubiquitination and degradation of CLOCK, a key regulator of circadian rhythmicity. High expression of Trim35 correlates with NK cell infiltration in DLBCL, partly due to the degradation of CLOCK. Consistently, patients with high expression of CLOCK show poor overall survival. Overall, these findings suggest that Trim35 suppresses the progression of DLBCL by modulating the tumor immune microenvironment, indicating that it may be a promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in DLBCL.

The E3 ligase Poe promotes Pericentrin degradation.

Project description:Centrosomes are essential parts of diverse cellular processes, and precise regulation of the levels of their constituent proteins is critical for their function. One such protein is Pericentrin (PCNT) in humans and Pericentrin-like protein (PLP) in Drosophila. Increased PCNT expression and its protein accumulation are linked to clinical conditions including cancer, mental disorders, and ciliopathies. However, the mechanisms by which PCNT levels are regulated remain underexplored. Our previous study demonstrated that PLP levels are sharply down-regulated during early spermatogenesis and this regulation is essential to spatially position PLP on the proximal end of centrioles. We hypothesized that the sharp drop in PLP protein was a result of rapid protein degradation during the male germ line premeiotic G2 phase. Here, we show that PLP is subject to ubiquitin-mediated degradation and identify multiple proteins that promote the reduction of PLP levels in spermatocytes, including the UBR box containing E3 ligase Poe (UBR4), which we show binds to PLP. Although protein sequences governing posttranslational regulation of PLP are not restricted to a single region of the protein, we identify a region that is required for Poe-mediated degradation. Experimentally stabilizing PLP, via internal PLP deletions or loss of Poe, leads to PLP accumulation in spermatocytes, its mispositioning along centrioles, and defects in centriole docking in spermatids.

S119N Mutation of the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase SPOP Suppresses SLC7A1 Degradation to Regulate Hepatoblastoma Progression.

Project description:A previous study on hepatoblastoma revealed novel mutations and cancer genes in the Wnt pathway and ubiquitin ligase complex, including the tumor suppressor speckle-type BTB/POZ (SPOP). Moreover, the SPOP gene affected cell growth, and its S119N mutation was identified as a loss-of-function mutation in hepatoblastoma. This study aimed to explore more functions and the potential mechanism of SPOP and its S119N mutation. The in vitro effects of SPOP on cell proliferation, invasion, apoptosis, and in vivo tumor growth were investigated by western blot analysis, Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation assay, flow cytometry, and xenograft animal experiments. The substrate of SPOP was discovered by a protein quantification assay and quantitative ubiquitination modification assay. The present study further proved that SPOP functioned as an anti-oncogene through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway to affect various malignant biological behaviors of hepatoblastoma both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, experimental results also suggested that solute carrier family 7 member 1 (SLC7A1) might be a substrate of SPOP and influence cell phenotype by regulating arginine metabolism. In conclusion, these findings demonstrated the function of SPOP and revealed a potential substrate related to hepatoblastoma tumorigenesis, which might thus provide a novel therapeutic target for hepatoblastoma.

CUL4-DDB1-CDT2 E3 Ligase Regulates the Molecular Clock Activity by Promoting Ubiquitination-Dependent Degradation of the Mammalian CRY1.

Project description:The CUL4-DDB1 E3 ligase complex serves as a critical regulator in various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, DNA damage repair, and cell cycle progression. However, whether this E3 ligase complex regulates clock protein turnover and the molecular clock activity in mammalian cells is unknown. Here we show that CUL4-DDB1-CDT2 E3 ligase ubiquitinates CRY1 and promotes its degradation both in vitro and in vivo. Depletion of the major components of this E3 ligase complex, including Ddb1, Cdt2, and Cdt2-cofactor Pcna, leads to CRY1 stabilization in cultured cells or in the mouse liver. CUL4A-DDB1-CDT2 E3 ligase targets lysine 585 within the C-terminal region of CRY1 protein, shown by the CRY1 585KA mutant's resistance to ubiquitination and degradation mediated by the CUL4A-DDB1 complex. Surprisingly, both depletion of Ddb1 and over-expression of Cry1-585KA mutant enhance the oscillatory amplitude of the Bmal1 promoter activity without altering its period length, suggesting that CUL4A-DDB1-CDT2 E3 targets CRY1 for degradation and reduces the circadian amplitude. All together, we uncovered a novel biological role for CUL4A-DDB1-CDT2 E3 ligase that regulates molecular circadian behaviors via promoting ubiquitination-dependent degradation of CRY1.

Discovery of E3 Ligase Ligands for Target Protein Degradation.

Project description:Target protein degradation has emerged as a promising strategy for the discovery of novel therapeutics during the last decade. Proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) harnesses a cellular ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis system for the efficient degradation of a protein of interest. PROTAC consists of a target protein ligand and an E3 ligase ligand so that it enables the target protein degradation owing to the induced proximity with ubiquitin ligases. Although a great number of PROTACs has been developed so far using previously reported ligands of proteins for their degradation, E3 ligase ligands have been mostly limited to either CRBN or VHL ligands. Those PROTACs showed their limitation due to the cell type specific expression of E3 ligases and recently reported resistance toward PROTACs with CRBN ligands or VHL ligands. To overcome these hurdles, the discovery of various E3 ligase ligands has been spotlighted to improve the current PROTAC technology. This review focuses on currently reported E3 ligase ligands and their application in the development of PROTACs.

Harnessing the E3 Ligase KEAP1 for Targeted Protein Degradation.

Project description:Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) represent a new class of promising therapeutic modalities. PROTACs hijack E3 ligases and the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), leading to selective degradation of the target proteins. However, only a very limited number of E3 ligases have been leveraged to generate effective PROTACs. Herein, we report that the KEAP1 E3 ligase can be harnessed for targeted protein degradation utilizing a highly selective, noncovalent small-molecule KEAP1 binder. We generated a proof-of-concept PROTAC, MS83, by linking the KEAP1 ligand to a BRD4/3/2 binder. MS83 effectively reduces protein levels of BRD4 and BRD3, but not BRD2, in cells in a concentration-, time-, KEAP1- and UPS-dependent manner. Interestingly, MS83 degrades BRD4/3 more durably than the CRBN-recruiting PROTAC dBET1 in MDA-MB-468 cells and selectively degrades BRD4 short isoform over long isoform in MDA-MB-231 cells. It also displays improved antiproliferative activity than dBET1. Overall, our study expands the limited toolbox for targeted protein degradation.

The E3 Ubiquitin Ligase TRIM21 Promotes HBV DNA Polymerase Degradation.

Project description:The tripartite motif (TRIM) protein family is an E3 ubiquitin ligase family. Recent reports have indicated that some TRIM proteins have antiviral functions, especially against retroviruses. However, most studies mainly focus on the relationship between TRIM21 and interferon or other antiviral effectors. The effect of TRIM21 on virus-encoded proteins remains unclear. In this study, we screened candidate interacting proteins of HBV DNA polymerase (Pol) by FLAG affinity purification and mass spectrometry assay and identified TRIM21 as its regulator. We used a coimmunoprecipitation (co-IP) assay to demonstrate that TRIM21 interacted with the TP domain of HBV DNA Pol. In addition, TRIM21 promoted the ubiquitination and degradation of HBV DNA Pol using its RING domain, which has E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. Lys260 and Lys283 of HBV DNA Pol were identified as targets for ubiquitination mediated by TRIM21. Finally, we uncovered that TRIM21 degrades HBV DNA Pol to restrict HBV DNA replication, and its SPRY domain is critical for this activity. Taken together, our results indicate that TRIM21 suppresses HBV DNA replication mainly by promoting the ubiquitination of HBV DNA Pol, which may provide a new potential target for the treatment of HBV.

E3 ligase Herc4 regulates Hedgehog signalling through promoting Smoothened degradation.

Project description:Hedgehog (Hh) signalling plays conserved roles in controlling embryonic development; its dysregulation causes many diseases including cancers. The G protein-coupled receptor Smoothened (Smo) is the key signal transducer of the Hh pathway, whose posttranslational regulation has been shown to be critical for its accumulation and activation. Ubiquitination has been reported an essential posttranslational regulation of Smo. Here, we identify a novel E3 ligase of Smo, Herc4, which binds to Smo, and regulates Hh signalling by controlling Smo ubiquitination and degradation. Interestingly, our data suggest that Herc4-mediated Smo degradation is regulated by Hh in PKA-primed phosphorylation-dependent and independent manners.

The E3 Ligase CHIP Mediates p21 Degradation to Maintain Radioresistance.

Project description:Lung cancer resists radiotherapy, making it one of the deadliest forms of cancer. Here, we show that human lung cancer cell lines can be rendered sensitive to ionizing radiation (IR) by RNAi knockdown of C-terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP/STUB1), a U-box-type E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets a number of stress-induced proteins. Mechanistically, ubiquitin-dependent degradation of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor, p21 protein, is reduced by CHIP knockdown, leading to enhanced senescence of cells in response to exposure to IR. Cellular senescence and sensitivity to IR is prevented by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of the p21 gene (CDKN1A) in CHIP knockdown cells. Conversely, overexpression of CHIP potentiates p21 degradation and promotes greater radioresistance of lung cancer cells. In vitro and cell-based assays demonstrate that p21 is a novel and direct ubiquitylation substrate of CHIP that also requires the CHIP-associated chaperone HSP70. These data reveal that the inhibition of the E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP promotes radiosensitivity, thus suggesting a novel strategy for the treatment of lung cancer.Implications: The CHIP-HSP70-p21 ubiquitylation/degradation axis identified here could be exploited to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Necdin promotes ubiquitin-dependent degradation of PIAS1 SUMO E3 ligase.

Project description:Necdin, a pleiotropic protein that promotes differentiation and survival of mammalian neurons, is a member of MAGE (melanoma antigen) family proteins that share a highly conserved MAGE homology domain. Several MAGE proteins interact with ubiquitin E3 ligases and modulate their activities. However, it remains unknown whether MAGE family proteins interact with SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) E3 ligases such as PIAS (protein inhibitor of activated STAT) family, Nsmce2/Mms21 and Cbx4/Pc2. In the present study, we examined whether necdin interacts with these SUMO E3 ligases. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that necdin, MAGED1, MAGEF1 and MAGEL2 bound to PIAS1 but not to Nsmce2 or Cbx4. These SUMO E3 ligases bound to MAGEA1 but failed to interact with necdin-like 2/MAGEG1. Necdin bound to PIAS1 central domains that are highly conserved among PIAS family proteins and suppressed PIAS1-dependent sumoylation of the substrates STAT1 and PML (promyelocytic leukemia protein). Remarkably, necdin promoted degradation of PIAS1 via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In transfected HEK293A cells, amino- and carboxyl-terminally truncated mutants of PIAS1 bound to necdin but failed to undergo necdin-dependent ubiquitination. Both PIAS1 and necdin were associated with the nuclear matrix, where the PIAS1 terminal deletion mutants failed to localize, implying that the nuclear matrix is indispensable for necdin-dependent ubiquitination of PIAS1. Our data suggest that necdin suppresses PIAS1 both by inhibiting SUMO E3 ligase activity and by promoting ubiquitin-dependent degradation.

The E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Peli1 Deficiency Promotes Atherosclerosis Progression.

Project description:BackgroundAtherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease and the main cause of death and morbidity. Emerging evidence suggests that ubiquitination plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis including control of vascular inflammation, vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) function and atherosclerotic plaque stability. Peli1 a type of E3 ubiquitin ligase has emerged as a critical regulator of innate and adaptive immunity, however, its role in atherosclerosis remains to be elucidated.MethodsApoe-/- mice and Peli1-deficient Apoe-/- Peli1-/- mice were subject to high cholesterol diet. Post sacrifice, serum was collected, and atherosclerotic plaque size and parameters of atherosclerotic plaque stability were evaluated. Immunoprofiling and foam cell quantification were performed.ResultsPeli1 deficiency does not affect atherosclerosis lesion burden and cholesterol levels, but promotes VSMCs foam cells formation, necrotic core expansion, collagen, and fibrous cap reduction. Apoe-/- Peli1-/- mice exhibit a storm of inflammatory cytokines, expansion of Th1, Th1, Th17, and Tfh cells, a decrease in regulatory T and B cells and induction of pro-atherogenic serum level of IgG2a and IgE.ConclusionsIn the present study, we uncover a crucial role for Peli1 in atherosclerosis as an important regulator of inflammation and VSMCs phenotypic modulation and subsequently atherosclerotic plaque destabilization.
