UbiBrowser 2.0: a comprehensive resource for proteome-wide known and predicted ubiquitin ligase/deubiquitinase-substrate interactions in eukaryotic species.

ABSTRACT: As an important post-translational modification, ubiquitination mediates ∼80% of protein degradation in eukaryotes. The degree of protein ubiquitination is tightly determined by the delicate balance between specific ubiquitin ligase (E3)-mediated ubiquitination and deubiquitinase-mediated deubiquitination. In 2017, we developed UbiBrowser 1.0, which is an integrated database for predicted human proteome-wide E3-substrate interactions. Here, to meet the urgent requirement of proteome-wide E3/deubiquitinase-substrate interactions (ESIs/DSIs) in multiple organisms, we updated UbiBrowser to version 2.0 (http://ubibrowser.ncpsb.org.cn). Using an improved protocol, we collected 4068/967 known ESIs/DSIs by manual curation, and we predicted about 2.2 million highly confident ESIs/DSIs in 39 organisms, with >210-fold increase in total data volume. In addition, we made several new features in the updated version: (i) it allows exploring proteins' upstream E3 ligases and deubiquitinases simultaneously; (ii) it has significantly increased species coverage; (iii) it presents a uniform confidence scoring system to rank predicted ESIs/DSIs. To facilitate the usage of UbiBrowser 2.0, we also redesigned the web interface for exploring these known and predicted ESIs/DSIs, and added functions of 'Browse', 'Download' and 'Application Programming Interface'. We believe that UbiBrowser 2.0, as a discovery tool, will contribute to the study of protein ubiquitination and the development of drug targets for complex diseases.

DIMA 2.0--predicted and known domain interactions.

Project description:DIMA-the domain interaction map has evolved from a simple web server for domain phylogenetic profiling into an integrative prediction resource combining both experimental data on domain-domain interactions and predictions from two different algorithms. With this update, DIMA obtains greatly improved coverage at the level of genomes and domains as well as with respect to available prediction approaches. The domain phylogenetic profiling method now uses SIMAP as its backend for exhaustive domain hit coverage: 7038 Pfam domains were profiled over 460 completely sequenced genomes. Domain pair exclusion predictions were produced from 83 969 distinct protein-protein interactions obtained from IntAct resulting in 21 513 domain pairs with significant domain pair exclusion algorithm scores. Additional predictions applying the same algorithm to predicted protein interactions from STRING yielded 2378 high-confidence pairs. Experimental data comes from iPfam (3074) and 3did (3034 pairs), two databases identifying domain contacts in solved protein structures. Taken together, these two resources yielded 3653 distinct interacting domain pairs. DIMA is available at http://mips.gsf.de/genre/proj/dima.

Interplay between bacterial deubiquitinase and ubiquitin E3 ligase regulates ubiquitin dynamics on Legionella phagosomes.

Project description:Legionella pneumophila extensively modulates the host ubiquitin network to create the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV) for its replication. Many of its virulence factors function as ubiquitin ligases or deubiquitinases (DUBs). Here, we identify Lem27 as a DUB that displays a preference for diubiquitin formed by K6, K11, or K48. Lem27 is associated with the LCV where it regulates Rab10 ubiquitination in concert with SidC and SdcA, two bacterial E3 ubiquitin ligases. Structural analysis of the complex formed by an active fragment of Lem27 and the substrate-based suicide inhibitor ubiquitin-propargylamide (PA) reveals that it harbors a fold resembling those in the OTU1 DUB subfamily with a Cys-His catalytic dyad and that it recognizes ubiquitin via extensive hydrogen bonding at six contact sites. Our results establish Lem27 as a DUB that functions to regulate protein ubiquitination on L. pneumophila phagosomes by counteracting the activity of bacterial ubiquitin E3 ligases.

Tango between ubiquitin ligase and deubiquitinase keeps cyclin A tag free.

Project description:Ubiquitin ligases (E3s) and ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) dynamically oppose each other during ubiquitination. In this issue of Molecular Cell, Huang et al. (2011) provide a counterintuitive example of a USP residing in an E3 complex, and establish Usp37 as a gatekeeper of APC/C-mediated ubiquitination of cyclin A.

The deubiquitinase TRABID stabilizes the K29/K48-specific E3 ubiquitin ligase HECTD1.

Project description:Ubiquitin is a versatile posttranslational modification, which is covalently attached to protein targets either as a single moiety or as a ubiquitin chain. In contrast to K48 and K63-linked chains, which have been extensively studied, the regulation and function of most atypical ubiquitin chains are only starting to emerge. The deubiquitinase TRABID/ZRANB1 is tuned for the recognition and cleavage of K29 and K33-linked chains. Yet, substrates of TRABID and the cellular functions of these atypical ubiquitin signals remain unclear. We determined the interactome of two TRABID constructs rendered catalytic dead either through a point mutation in the catalytic cysteine residue or through removal of the OTU catalytic domain. We identified 50 proteins trapped by both constructs and which therefore represent candidate substrates of TRABID. The E3 ubiquitin ligase HECTD1 was then validated as a substrate of TRABID and used UbiCREST and Ub-AQUA proteomics to show that HECTD1 preferentially assembles K29- and K48-linked ubiquitin chains. Further in vitro autoubiquitination assays using ubiquitin mutants established that while HECTD1 can assemble short homotypic K29 and K48-linked chains, it requires branching at K29/K48 in order to achieve its full ubiquitin ligase activity. We next used transient knockdown and genetic knockout of TRABID in mammalian cells in order to determine the functional relationship between TRABID and HECTD1. This revealed that upon TRABID depletion, HECTD1 is readily degraded. Thus, this study identifies HECTD1 as a mammalian E3 ligase that assembles branched K29/K48 chains and also establishes TRABID-HECTD1 as a DUB/E3 pair regulating K29 linkages.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Differentiation Regulated by a Single Ubiquitin Ligase: Substrate Complex

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) differentiation is regulated by cell-intrinsic and extrinsic cues. In addition to transcriptional regulation, post-translational regulation may also control HSC differentiation. To test this hypothesis, we visualized ubiquitin-regulated protein stability of a single transcription factor, c-Myc. The stability of c-Myc protein was instructive of HSC quiescence and c-Myc protein abundance was controlled by the ubiquitin ligase Fbw7. Fine changes in stability of c-Myc protein regulated the HSC âgene expression signatureâ. Using whole genome genomic approaches, we identified specific regulators of HSC function that are directly controlled by c-Myc binding, however adult HSCs and embryonic stem cells sense and interpret distinctly c-Myc regulated gene expression. These studies show a ubiquitin ligaseâsubstrate pair can orchestrate the molecular program of HSC differentiation. Gene expression profiles from c-Myc-High and c-Myc-Low expressing Lineage negative, c-Kit and Sca1 positive (LSKs) were compared using genome wide mRNA expression profiling by Affymetrix genechip arrays (Mouse 430 2.0) and key targets were validated by chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments.

Tandem UIMs confer Lys48 ubiquitin chain substrate preference to deubiquitinase USP25.

Project description:Ubiquitin-specific protease (USP) 25, belonging to the USP family of deubiquitinases, harbors two tandem ubiquitin-interacting motifs (UIMs), a ~20-amino-acid α-helical stretch that binds to ubiquitin. However, the role of the UIMs in USP25 remains unclear. Here we show that the tandem UIM region binds to Lys48-, but not Lys63-, linked ubiquitin chains, where the two UIMs played a critical and cooperative role. Purified USP25 exhibited higher ubiquitin isopeptidase activity to Lys48-, than to Lys63-, linked ubiquitin chains. Mutations that disrupted the ubiquitin-binding ability of the tandem UIMs resulted in a reduced ubiquitin isopeptidase activity of USP25, suggesting a role for the UIMs in exerting the full catalytic activity of USP25. Moreover, when mutations that convert the binding preference from Lys48- to Lys63-linked ubiquitin chains were introduced into the tandem UIM region, the USP25 mutants acquired elevated and reduced isopeptidase activity toward Lys63- and Lys48-linked ubiquitin chains, respectively. These results suggested that the binding preference of the tandem UIMs toward Lys48-linked ubiquitin chains contributes not only to the full catalytic activity but also to the ubiquitin chain substrate preference of USP25, possibly by selectively holding the Lys48-linked ubiquitin chain substrates in the proximity of the catalytic core.

Ubiquitin Chains Modified by the Bacterial Ligase SdeA Are Protected from Deubiquitinase Hydrolysis.

Project description:The SidE family of Legionella pneumophila effectors is a unique group of ubiquitin-modifying enzymes. Along with catalyzing NAD+-dependent ubiquitination of certain host proteins independent of the canonical E1/E2/E3 pathway, they have also been shown to produce phosphoribosylated free ubiquitin. This modified ubiquitin product is incompatible with conventional E1/E2/E3 ubiquitination processes, with the potential to lock down various cellular functions that are dependent on ubiquitin signaling. Here, we show that in addition to free ubiquitin, Lys63-, Lys48-, Lys11-, and Met1-linked diubiquitin chains are also modified by SdeA in a similar fashion. Both the proximal and distal ubiquitin moieties are targeted in the phosphoribosylation reaction. Furthermore, this renders the ubiquitin chains unable to be processed by a variety of deubiquitinating enzymes. These observations broaden the scope of SdeA's modulatory functions during Legionella infection.

Specific targeting of the deubiquitinase and E3 ligase families with engineered ubiquitin variants.

Project description:The ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) has garnered much attention due to its potential for the development of therapeutics. Following a successful clinical application of general proteasome inhibitors much effort has been devoted to targeting individual UPS components including E3 enzymes and deubiquitinases that control specificity of ubiquitination. Our group has developed a novel approach for targeting the UPS proteins using engineered ubiquitin variants (Ubvs). These drug-like proteins can serve as valuable tools to study biological function of UPS components and assist in the development of small molecules for clinical use. In this review, we summarize studies of Ubvs targeting members of three major families, including deubiquitinases, HECT E3 ligases, and CRL E3 ligases. In particular, we focus on Ubv binding mechanisms, structural studies, and effects on enzyme function. Furthermore, new insights gained from the Ubvs are discussed in the context of small molecule studies.

A viral ubiquitin ligase has substrate preferential SUMO targeted ubiquitin ligase activity that counteracts intrinsic antiviral defence.

Project description:Intrinsic antiviral resistance represents the first line of intracellular defence against virus infection. During herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) infection this response can lead to the repression of viral gene expression but is counteracted by the viral ubiquitin ligase ICP0. Here we address the mechanisms by which ICP0 overcomes this antiviral response. We report that ICP0 induces the widespread proteasome-dependent degradation of SUMO-conjugated proteins during infection and has properties related to those of cellular SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligases (STUbLs). Mutation of putative SUMO interaction motifs within ICP0 not only affects its ability to degrade SUMO conjugates, but also its capacity to stimulate HSV-1 lytic infection and reactivation from quiescence. We demonstrate that in the absence of this viral countermeasure the SUMO conjugation pathway plays an important role in mediating intrinsic antiviral resistance and the repression of HSV-1 infection. Using PML as a model substrate, we found that whilst ICP0 preferentially targets SUMO-modified isoforms of PML for degradation, it also induces the degradation of PML isoform I in a SUMO modification-independent manner. PML was degraded by ICP0 more rapidly than the bulk of SUMO-modified proteins in general, implying that the identity of a SUMO-modified protein, as well as the presence of SUMO modification, is involved in ICP0 targeting. We conclude that ICP0 has dual targeting mechanisms involving both SUMO- and substrate-dependent targeting specificities in order to counteract intrinsic antiviral resistance to HSV-1 infection.
