Structure of CRL2Lrr1, the E3 ubiquitin ligase that promotes DNA replication termination in vertebrates.

ABSTRACT: When vertebrate replisomes from neighboring origins converge, the Mcm7 subunit of the replicative helicase, CMG, is ubiquitylated by the E3 ubiquitin ligase, CRL2Lrr1. Polyubiquitylated CMG is then disassembled by the p97 ATPase, leading to replication termination. To avoid premature replisome disassembly, CRL2Lrr1 is only recruited to CMGs after they converge, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Here, we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine structures of recombinant Xenopus laevis CRL2Lrr1 with and without neddylation. The structures reveal that CRL2Lrr1 adopts an unusually open architecture, in which the putative substrate-recognition subunit, Lrr1, is located far from the catalytic module that catalyzes ubiquitin transfer. We further demonstrate that a predicted, flexible pleckstrin homology domain at the N-terminus of Lrr1 is essential to target CRL2Lrr1 to terminated CMGs. We propose a hypothetical model that explains how CRL2Lrr1's catalytic module is positioned next to the ubiquitylation site on Mcm7, and why CRL2Lrr1 binds CMG only after replisomes converge.

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.

TRIP/NOPO E3 ubiquitin ligase promotes ubiquitylation of DNA polymerase ?.

Project description:We previously identified a Drosophila maternal effect-lethal mutant named 'no poles' (nopo). Embryos from nopo females undergo mitotic arrest with barrel-shaped, acentrosomal spindles during the rapid cycles of syncytial embryogenesis because of activation of a Chk2-mediated DNA checkpoint. NOPO is the Drosophila homolog of human TNF receptor associated factor (TRAF)-interacting protein (TRIP), which has been implicated in TNF signaling. NOPO and TRIP contain RING domains closely resembling those of known E3 ubiquitin ligases. We herein sought to elucidate the mechanism by which TRIP/NOPO promotes genomic stability by performing a yeast two-hybrid screen to identify potential substrates/interactors. We identified members of the Y-family of DNA polymerases that facilitate replicative bypass of damaged DNA (translesion synthesis) as TRIP interactors. We show that TRIP and NOPO co-immunoprecipitate with human and Drosophila Pol?, respectively, from cultured cells. We generated a null mutation in Drosophila Pol? (dPol?) and found that dPol?-derived embryos have increased sensitivity to ultraviolet irradiation and exhibit nopo-like mitotic spindle defects. dPol? and nopo interact genetically in that overexpression of dPol? in hypomorphic nopo-derived embryos suppresses nopo phenotypes. We observed enhanced ubiquitylation of Pol? by TRIP and NOPO E3 ligases in human cells and Drosophila embryos, respectively, and show that TRIP promotes hPol? localization to nuclear foci in human cells. We present a model in which TRIP/NOPO ubiquitylates Pol? to positively regulate its activity in translesion synthesis.

RNF144A, an E3 ubiquitin ligase for DNA-PKcs, promotes apoptosis during DNA damage.

Project description:Several ring between ring fingers (RBR) -domain proteins, such as Parkin and Parc, have been shown to be E3 ligases involved in important biological processes. Here, we identify a poorly characterized RBR protein, Ring Finger protein 144A (RNF144A), as the first, to our knowledge, mammalian E3 ubiquitin ligase for DNA-PKcs. We show that DNA damage induces RNF144A expression in a p53-dependent manner. RNF144A is mainly localized in the cytoplasmic vesicles and plasma membrane and interacts with cytoplasmic DNA-dependent protein kinase, catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs). DNA-PKcs plays a critical role in the nonhomologous end-joining DNA repair pathway and provides prosurvival signaling during DNA damage. We show that RNF144A induces ubiquitination of DNA-PKcs in vitro and in vivo and promotes its degradation. Depletion of RNF144A leads to an increased level of DNA-PKcs and resistance to DNA damaging agents, which is reversed by a DNA-PK inhibitor. Taken together, our data suggest that RNF144A may be involved in p53-mediated apoptosis through down-regulation of DNA-PKcs when cells suffer from persistent or severe DNA damage insults.

The ORC ubiquitin ligase OBI1 promotes DNA replication origin firing.

Project description:DNA replication initiation is a two-step process. During the G1-phase of the cell cycle, the ORC complex, CDC6, CDT1, and MCM2-7 assemble at replication origins, forming pre-replicative complexes (pre-RCs). In S-phase, kinase activities allow fork establishment through (CDC45/MCM2-7/GINS) CMG-complex formation. However, only a subset of all potential origins becomes activated, through a poorly understood selection mechanism. Here we analyse the pre-RC proteomic interactome in human cells and find C13ORF7/RNF219 (hereafter called OBI1, for ORC-ubiquitin-ligase-1) associated with the ORC complex. OBI1 silencing result in defective origin firing, as shown by reduced CMG formation, without affecting pre-RC establishment. OBI1 catalyses the multi-mono-ubiquitylation of a subset of chromatin-bound ORC3 and ORC5 during S-phase. Importantly, expression of non-ubiquitylable ORC3/5 mutants impairs origin firing, demonstrating their relevance as OBI1 substrates for origin firing. Our results identify a ubiquitin signalling pathway involved in origin activation and provide a candidate protein for selecting the origins to be fired.

Ubiquitin E3 ligase MARCH7 promotes ovarian tumor growth.

Project description:Ubiquitin E3 ligase MARCH7 is involved in T cell proliferation and neuronal development. We found that expression of MARCH7 was higher in ovarian cancer tissues than normal ovarian tissues. Silencing MARCH7 decreased cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Ectopic expression of MARCH7 increased cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Silencing MARCH7 prevented ovarian cancer growth in mice. Silencing MARCH7 inhibited NFkB and Wnt/β-catenin pathway. In agreement, ectopically expressed MARCH7 activated NFkB and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. Finally, MARCH7 was regulated by miR-101. Thus, MARCH7 is oncogenic and a potential target (oncotarget) for ovarian cancer therapy.

The Host E3-Ubiquitin Ligase TRIM28 Impedes Viral Protein GP4 Ubiquitination and Promotes PRRSV Replication.

Project description:Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS), caused by the PRRS virus (PRRSV), is a highly pathogenic porcine virus that brings tremendous economic losses to the global swine industry. PRRSVs have evolved multiple elegant strategies to manipulate the host proteins and circumvent against the antiviral responses to establish infection. Therefore, the identification of virus-host interactions is critical for understanding the pathogenesis of PRRSVs. Tripartite motif protein 28 (TRIM28) is a transcriptional co-repressor involved in the regulation of viral and cellular transcriptional programs; however, its precise role in regulating PRRSV infection remains unknown. In this study, we found that the mRNA and protein levels of TRIM28 were up-regulated in PRRSV-infected porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) and MARC-145 cells. Ectopic TRIM28 expression dramatically increased viral yields, whereas the siRNA-mediated knockdown of TRIM28 significantly inhibited PRRSV replication. Furthermore, we used a co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) assay to demonstrate that TRIM28 interacted with envelope glycoprotein 4 (GP4) among PRRSV viral proteins. Intriguingly, TRIM28 inhibited the degradation of PRRSV GP4 by impeding its ubiquitination. Taken together, our work provides evidence that the host E3-ubiquitin ligase TRIM28 suppresses GP4 ubiquitination and is important for efficient virus replication. Therefore, our study identifies a new host factor, TRIM28, as a potential target in the development of anti-viral drugs against PRRSV.

E3 ubiquitin ligase Bre1 couples sister chromatid cohesion establishment to DNA replication in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Bre1, a conserved E3 ubiquitin ligase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, together with its interacting partner Lge1, are responsible for histone H2B monoubiquitination, which regulates transcription, DNA replication, and DNA damage response and repair, ensuring the structural integrity of the genome. Deletion of BRE1 or LGE1 also results in whole chromosome instability. We discovered a novel role for Bre1, Lge1 and H2Bub1 in chromosome segregation and sister chromatid cohesion. Bre1's function in G1 and S phases contributes to cohesion establishment, but it is not required for cohesion maintenance in G2 phase. Bre1 is dispensable for the loading of cohesin complex to chromatin in G1, but regulates the localization of replication factor Mcm10 and cohesion establishment factors Ctf4, Ctf18 and Eco1 to early replication origins in G1 and S phases, and promotes cohesin subunit Smc3 acetylation for cohesion stabilization. H2Bub1 epigenetically marks the origins, potentially signaling the coupling of DNA replication and cohesion establishment.

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.

CRL4Mahj E3 ubiquitin ligase promotes neural stem cell reactivation.

Project description:The ability of neural stem cells (NSCs) to transit between quiescence and proliferation is crucial for brain development and homeostasis. Drosophila Hippo pathway maintains NSC quiescence, but its regulation during brain development remains unknown. Here, we show that CRL4Mahj, an evolutionarily conserved E3 ubiquitin ligase, is essential for NSC reactivation (exit from quiescence). We demonstrate that damaged DNA-binding protein 1 (DDB1) and Cullin4, two core components of Cullin4-RING ligase (CRL4), are intrinsically required for NSC reactivation. We have identified a substrate receptor of CRL4, Mahjong (Mahj), which is necessary and sufficient for NSC reactivation. Moreover, we show that CRL4Mahj forms a protein complex with Warts (Wts/large tumor suppressor [Lats]), a kinase of the Hippo signaling pathway, and Mahj promotes the ubiquitination of Wts. Our genetic analyses further support the conclusion that CRL4Mahj triggers NSC reactivation by inhibition of Wts. Given that Cullin4B mutations cause mental retardation and cerebral malformation, similar regulatory mechanisms may be applied to the human brain.

E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Nedd4 Promotes Japanese Encephalitis Virus Replication by Suppressing Autophagy in Human Neuroblastoma Cells.

Project description:Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that causes the most prevalent viral encephalitis in Asia. Since JEV is a neurotropic virus, it is important to identify key molecules that mediate JEV infection in neuronal cells and to investigate their underlying mechanisms. In this study, the critical role of Nedd4, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is highly expressed in the central nervous system, was examined in JEV propagation. In SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells, Nedd4 was up-regulated in response to JEV infection. Moreover, down-regulation of Nedd4 resulted in a significant decrease in JEV replication without alterations in virus attachment and internalization or in JEV pseudotyped virus infection, suggesting that Nedd4 participates in the replication but not in the entry stage of JEV infection. Further functional analysis showed that Nedd4 attenuated JEV-induced autophagy, which negatively regulates virus replication during infection. These results suggest that Nedd4 facilitates the replication of JEV by suppressing virus-induced autophagy. Taken together, our results indicate that Nedd4 plays a crucial role in JEV infection of neuronal cells, which provides a potential target for the development of novel treatment to combat JEV infection.
