Loss of peptide:N-glycanase causes proteasome dysfunction mediated by a sugar-recognizing ubiquitin ligase.

ABSTRACT: Mutations in the human peptide:N-glycanase gene (NGLY1), which encodes a cytosolic de-N-glycosylating enzyme, cause a congenital autosomal recessive disorder. In rodents, the loss of Ngly1 results in severe developmental delay or lethality, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, we found that deletion of Fbxo6 (also known as Fbs2), which encodes a ubiquitin ligase subunit that recognizes glycoproteins, rescued the lethality-related defects in Ngly1-KO mice. In NGLY1-KO cells, FBS2 overexpression resulted in the substantial inhibition of proteasome activity, causing cytotoxicity. Nuclear factor, erythroid 2-like 1 (NFE2L1, also known as NRF1), an endoplasmic reticulum-associated transcriptional factor involved in expression of proteasome subunits, was also abnormally ubiquitinated by SCF^FBS2 in NGLY1-KO cells, resulting in its retention in the cytosol. However, the cytotoxicity caused by FBS2 was restored by the overexpression of "glycan-less" NRF1 mutants, regardless of their transcriptional activity, or by the deletion of NRF1 in NGLY1-KO cells. We conclude that the proteasome dysfunction caused by the accumulation of N-glycoproteins, primarily NRF1, ubiquitinated by SCF^FBS2 accounts for the pathogenesis resulting from NGLY1 deficiency.

Sugar-Recognizing Ubiquitin Ligases: Action Mechanisms and Physiology.

Project description:F-box proteins, the substrate recognition subunits of SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein (SCF) E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, play crucial roles in various cellular events mediated by ubiquitination. Several sugar-recognizing F-box proteins exist in both mammalian and plant cells. Although glycoproteins generally reside outside of cells, or in organelles of the secretory pathway, these lectin-type F-box proteins reside in the nucleocytoplasmic compartment. Mammalian sugar-recognizing F-box proteins commonly bind to the innermost position of N-glycans through a unique small hydrophobic pocket in their loops. Two cytosolic F-box proteins, Fbs1 and Fbs2, recognize high-mannose glycans synthesized in the ER, and SCFFbs1 and SCFFbs2 ubiquitinate excess unassembled or misfolded glycoproteins in the ERAD pathway by recognizing the innermost glycans, which serve as signals for aberrant proteins. On the other hand, endomembrane-bound Fbs3 recognizes complex glycans as well as high-mannose glycans, and SCFFbs3 ubiquitinates exposed glycoproteins in damaged lysosomes fated for elimination by selective autophagy. Plants express stress-inducible lectin-type F-box proteins recognizing a wider range of N- and O-glycans, suggesting that the roles of mammalian and plant lectin-type F-box proteins have diverged over the course of evolution to recognize species-specific targets with distinct functions. These sugar-recognizing F-box proteins interpret glycans in the cytosol as markers of unwanted proteins and organelles, and degrade them via the proteasome or autophagy.

Loss of function of the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase UBE3B causes Kaufman oculocerebrofacial syndrome.

Project description:Kaufman oculocerebrofacial syndrome (KOS) is a developmental disorder characterised by reduced growth, microcephaly, ocular anomalies (microcornea, strabismus, myopia, and pale optic disk), distinctive facial features (narrow palpebral fissures, telecanthus, sparse and laterally broad eyebrows, preauricular tags, and micrognathia), mental retardation, and generalised hypotonia. KOS is a rare, possibly underestimated condition, with fewer than 10 cases reported to date. Here we investigate the molecular cause underlying KOS.An exome sequencing approach was used on a single affected individual of an Italian consanguineous family coupled with mutation scanning using Sanger sequencing on a second unrelated subject with clinical features fitting the disorder.Exome sequencing was able to identify homozygosity for a novel truncating mutation (c.556C>T, p.Arg186stop) in UBE3B, which encodes a widely expressed HECT (homologous to the E6-AP carboxyl terminus) domain E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. Homozygosity for a different nonsense lesion affecting the gene (c.1166G>A, p.Trp389stop) was documented in the second affected subject, supporting the recessive mode of inheritance of the disorder. Mutation scanning of the entire UBE3B coding sequence on a selected cohort of subjects with features overlapping, in part, those recurring in KOS did not reveal disease-causing mutations, suggesting phenotypic homogeneity of UBE3B lesions.Our data provide evidence that KOS is caused by UBE3B loss of function, and further demonstrate the impact of misregulation of protein ubiquitination on development and growth. The available clinical records, including those referring to four UBE3B mutation-positive subjects recently described as belonging to a previously unreported entity, which fits KOS, document the clinical homogeneity of this disorder.

Complete loss of function of the ubiquitin ligase HERC2 causes a severe neurodevelopmental phenotype.

Project description:The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of several neurogenetic diseases. We describe a Mauritanian patient harboring a homozygous deletion restricted to two contiguous genes HERC2 and OCA2 and presenting with severe developmental abnormalities. The deletion causes the complete loss of HERC2 protein function, an E3-ubiquitin ligase. HERC2 is known to target XPA and BRCA1 for degradation and a mechanism whereby it is involved in DNA repair and cell cycle regulation. We showed that loss of HERC2 function leads to the accumulation of XPA and BRCA1 in the patient's fibroblasts and generates decreased sensitivity to apoptosis and increased level of DNA repair. Our data describe for the first time the phenotypic consequences, both at the clinical and cellular levels, of a complete loss of HERC2 function in a patient. They strongly suggest that profound ubiquitin ligase - associated dysfunction is responsible for the severe phenotype in this patient, and that dysfunction of this pathway may be involved in other patients with similar neurodevelopmental diseases.

FBXO2/SCF ubiquitin ligase complex directs xenophagy through recognizing bacterial surface glycan.

Project description:Xenophagy, also known as antibacterial selective autophagy, degrades invading bacterial pathogens such as group A Streptococcus (GAS) to defend cells. Although invading bacteria are known to be marked with ubiquitin and selectively targeted by xenophagy, how ubiquitin ligases recognize invading bacteria is poorly understood. Here, we show that FBXO2, a glycoprotein-specific receptor for substrate in the SKP1/CUL1/F-box protein (SCF) ubiquitin ligase complex, mediates recognition of GlcNAc side chains of the GAS surface carbohydrate structure and promotes ubiquitin-mediated xenophagy against GAS. FBXO2 targets cytosolic GAS through its sugar-binding motif and GlcNAc expression on the GAS surface. FBXO2 knockout resulted in decreased ubiquitin accumulation on intracellular GAS and xenophagic degradation of bacteria. Furthermore, SCF components such as SKP1, CUL1, and ROC1 are required for ubiquitin-mediated xenophagy against GAS. Thus, SCFFBXO2 recognizes GlcNAc residues of GAS surface carbohydrates and functions in ubiquitination during xenophagy.

The E3 Ubiquitin Ligase AFF1 targets ARF19 to the proteasome

Project description:Auxin critically regulates nearly every aspect of plant growth and development. Auxin-driven transcriptional responses are mediated through the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) family of transcription factors. Although ARF protein stability is regulated via the 26S proteasome, molecular mechanisms underlying ARF stability and turnover are unknown. Here, we report the identification and functional characterization of an F-Box E3 ubiquitin ligase, which we have named AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR F-BOX1 (AFF1). AFF1 directly interacts with ARF19 and regulates its accumulation. Mutants defective in AFF1 display ARF19 protein hyperaccumulation, mild auxin resistance, and developmental defects. Together, our data suggest a new mechanism, namely control of ARF protein stability, in regulating auxin responsiveness.

Protein Sequence Editing of SKN-1A/Nrf1 by Peptide:N-Glycanase Controls Proteasome Gene Expression.

Project description:The proteasome mediates selective protein degradation and is dynamically regulated in response to proteotoxic challenges. SKN-1A/Nrf1, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated transcription factor that undergoes N-linked glycosylation, serves as a sensor of proteasome dysfunction and triggers compensatory upregulation of proteasome subunit genes. Here, we show that the PNG-1/NGLY1 peptide:N-glycanase edits the sequence of SKN-1A protein by converting particular N-glycosylated asparagine residues to aspartic acid. Genetically introducing aspartates at these N-glycosylation sites bypasses the requirement for PNG-1/NGLY1, showing that protein sequence editing rather than deglycosylation is key to SKN-1A function. This pathway is required to maintain sufficient proteasome expression and activity, and SKN-1A hyperactivation confers resistance to the proteotoxicity of human amyloid beta peptide. Deglycosylation-dependent protein sequence editing explains how ER-associated and cytosolic isoforms of SKN-1 perform distinct cytoprotective functions corresponding to those of mammalian Nrf1 and Nrf2. Thus, we uncover an unexpected mechanism by which N-linked glycosylation regulates protein function and proteostasis.

Dysfunction of the ubiquitin proteasome and ubiquitin-like systems in schizophrenia.

Project description:Protein expression abnormalities have been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, but the underlying cause of these changes is not known. We sought to investigate ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like (UBL) systems (SUMOylation, NEDD8ylation, and Ufmylation) as putative mechanisms underlying protein expression abnormalities seen in schizophrenia. For this, we performed western blot analysis of total ubiquitination, free ubiquitin, K48- and K63-linked ubiquitination, and E1 activases, E2 conjugases, and E3 ligases involved in ubiquitination and UBL post-translational modifications in postmortem brain tissue samples from persons with schizophrenia (n=13) and comparison subjects (n=13). We studied the superior temporal gyrus (STG) of subjects from the Mount Sinai Medical Center brain collection that were matched for age, tissue pH, and sex. We found an overall reduction of protein ubiquitination, free ubiquitin, K48-linked ubiquitination, and increased K63 polyubiquitination in schizophrenia. Ubiquitin E1 activase UBA (ubiquitin activating enzyme)-6 and E3 ligase Nedd (neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated)-4 were decreased in this illness, as were E3 ligases involved in Ufmylation (UFL1) and SUMOylation (protein inhibitor of activated STAT 3, PIAS3). NEDD8ylation was also dysregulated in schizophrenia, with decreased levels of the E1 activase UBA3 and the E3 ligase Rnf7. This study of ubiquitin and UBL systems in schizophrenia found abnormalities of ubiquitination, Ufmylation, SUMOylation, and NEDD8ylation in the STG in this disorder. These results suggest a novel approach to the understanding of schizophrenia pathophysiology, where a disruption in homeostatic adaptation of the cell underlies discreet changes seen at the protein level in this illness.

The hypoxia-controlled FBXL14 ubiquitin ligase targets SNAIL1 for proteasome degradation.

Project description:The transcription factor SNAIL1 is a master regulator of epithelial to mesenchymal transition. SNAIL1 is a very unstable protein, and its levels are regulated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase beta-TrCP1 that interacts with SNAIL1 upon its phosphorylation by GSK-3beta. Here we show that SNAIL1 polyubiquitylation and degradation may occur in conditions precluding SNAIL1 phosphorylation by GSK-3beta, suggesting that additional E3 ligases participate in the control of SNAIL1 protein stability. In particular, we demonstrate that the F-box E3 ubiquitin ligase FBXl14 interacts with SNAIL1 and promotes its ubiquitylation and proteasome degradation independently of phosphorylation by GSK-3beta. In vivo, inhibition of FBXl14 using short hairpin RNA stabilizes both ectopically expressed and endogenous SNAIL1. Moreover, the expression of FBXl14 is potently down-regulated during hypoxia, a condition that increases the levels of SNAIL1 protein but not SNAIL1 mRNA. FBXL14 mRNA is decreased in tumors with a high expression of two proteins up-regulated in hypoxia, carbonic anhydrase 9 and TWIST1. In addition, Twist1 small interfering RNA prevents hypoxia-induced Fbxl14 down-regulation and SNAIL1 stabilization in NMuMG cells. Altogether, these results demonstrate the existence of an alternative mechanism controlling SNAIL1 protein levels relevant for the induction of SNAIL1 during hypoxia.

ZSCAN4 is negatively regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system and the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF20.

Project description:Zscan4 is an early embryonic gene cluster expressed in mouse embryonic stem and induced pluripotent stem cells where it plays critical roles in genomic stability, telomere maintenance, and pluripotency. Zscan4 expression is transient, and characterized by infrequent high expression peaks that are quickly down-regulated, suggesting its expression is tightly controlled. However, little is known about the protein degradation pathway responsible for regulating the human ZSCAN4 protein levels. In this study we determine for the first time the ZSCAN4 protein half-life and degradation pathway, including key factors involved in the process, responsible for the regulation of ZSCAN4 stability. We demonstrate lysine 48 specific polyubiquitination and subsequent proteasome dependent degradation of ZSCAN4, which may explain how this key factor is efficiently cleared from the cells. Importantly, our data indicate an interaction between ZSCAN4 and the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF20. Moreover, our results show that RNF20 depletion by gene knockdown does not affect ZSCAN4 transcription levels, but instead results in increased ZSCAN4 protein levels. Further, RNF20 depletion stabilizes the ZSCAN4 protein half-life, suggesting that RNF20 negatively regulates ZSCAN4 stability. Due to the significant cellular functions of ZSCAN4, our results have important implications in telomere regulation, stem cell biology, and cancer.
