The E3 Ligase GmPUB21 Negatively Regulates Drought and Salinity Stress Response in Soybean.

ABSTRACT: E3-ubiquitin ligases are known to confer abiotic stress responses in plants. In the present study, GmPUB21, a novel U-box E3-ubiquitin ligase-encoding gene, was isolated from soybean and functionally characterized. The expression of GmPUB21, which possesses E3-ubiquitin ligase activity, was found to be significantly up-regulated by drought, salinity, and ABA treatments. The fusion protein GmPUB21-GFP was localized in the cytoplasm, nucleus, and plasma membrane. Transgenic lines of the Nicotiana benthamiana over-expressing GmPUB21 showed more sensitive to osmotic, salinity stress and ABA in seed germination and inhibited mannitol/NaCl-mediated stomatal closure. Moreover, higher reactive oxygen species accumulation was observed in GmPUB21 overexpressing plants after drought and salinity treatment than in wild-type (WT) plants. Contrarily, silencing of GmPUB21 in soybean plants significantly enhanced the tolerance to drought and salinity stresses. Collectively, our results revealed that GmPUB21 negatively regulates the drought and salinity tolerance by increasing the stomatal density and aperture via the ABA signaling pathway. These findings improved our understanding of the role of GmPUB21 under drought and salinity stresses in soybean.

The Pepper RING Finger E3 Ligase, CaDIR1, Regulates the Drought Stress Response via ABA-Mediated Signaling.

Project description:Drought stress from soil or air limits plant growth and development, leading to a reduction in crop productivity. Several E3 ligases positively or negatively regulate the drought stress response. In the present study, we show that the pepper (Capsicum annuum) Drought Induced RING type E3 ligase 1, CaDIR1, regulates the drought stress response via abscisic acid (ABA)-mediated signaling. CaDIR1 contains a C3HC4-type RING finger domain in the N-terminal region; this domain functions during protein degradation via attachment of ubiquitins to the substrate target proteins. The expression levels of the CaDIR1 gene were suppressed and induced by ABA and drought treatments, respectively. We conducted loss-of-function and gain-of function genetic studies to examine the in vivo function of CaDIR1 in response to ABA and drought stress. CaDIR1-silenced pepper plants displayed a drought-tolerant phenotype characterized by a low level of transpirational water loss via increased stomatal closure and elevated leaf temperatures. CaDIR1-overexpressing (OX) Arabidopsis plants exhibited an ABA-hypersensitive phenotype during the germination stage, but an ABA-hyposensitive phenotype-characterized by decreased stomatal closure and reduced leaf temperatures-at the adult stage. Moreover, adult CaDIR1-OX plants exhibited a drought-sensitive phenotype characterized by high levels of transpirational water loss. Our results indicate that CaDIR1 functions as a negative regulator of the drought stress response via ABA-mediated signaling. Our findings provide a valuable insight into the plant defense mechanism that operates during drought stress.

AtPUB19, a U-box E3 ubiquitin ligase, negatively regulates abscisic acid and drought responses in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Ubiquitination is an important protein post-translational modification, which is involved in various cellular processes in higher plants, and U-box E3 ligases play important roles in diverse functions in eukaryotes. Here, we describe the functions of Arabidopsis thaliana PUB19 (AtPUB19), which we demonstrated in an in vitro assay to encode a U-box type E3 ubiquitin ligase. AtPUB19 was up-regulated by drought, salt, cold, and abscisic acid (ABA). Down-regulation of AtPUB19 led to hypersensitivity to ABA, enhanced ABA-induced stomatal closing, and enhanced drought tolerance, while AtPUB19 overexpression resulted in the reverse phenotypes. Molecular analysis showed that the expression levels of a number of ABA and stress marker genes were altered in both AtPUB19 overexpressing and atpub19-1 mutant plants. In summary, our data show that AtPUB19 negatively regulates ABA and drought responses in A. thaliana.

The bZIP Transcription Factor GmbZIP15 Negatively Regulates Salt- and Drought-Stress Responses in Soybean.

Project description:Soybean (Glycine max), as an important oilseed crop, is constantly threatened by abiotic stress, including that caused by salinity and drought. bZIP transcription factors (TFs) are one of the largest TF families and have been shown to be associated with various environmental-stress tolerances among species; however, their function in abiotic-stress response in soybean remains poorly understood. Here, we characterized the roles of soybean transcription factor GmbZIP15 in response to abiotic stresses. The transcript level of GmbZIP15 was suppressed under salt- and drought-stress conditions. Overexpression of GmbZIP15 in soybean resulted in hypersensitivity to abiotic stress compared with wild-type (WT) plants, which was associated with lower transcript levels of stress-responsive genes involved in both abscisic acid (ABA)-dependent and ABA-independent pathways, defective stomatal aperture regulation, and reduced antioxidant enzyme activities. Furthermore, plants expressing a functional repressor form of GmbZIP15 exhibited drought-stress resistance similar to WT. RNA-seq and qRT-PCR analyses revealed that GmbZIP15 positively regulates GmSAHH1 expression and negatively regulates GmWRKY12 and GmABF1 expression in response to abiotic stress. Overall, these data indicate that GmbZIP15 functions as a negative regulator in response to salt and drought stresses.

The E3 Ubiquitin Ligase RNF7 Negatively Regulates CARD14/CARMA2sh Signaling.

Project description:The three CARD-containing MAGUK (CARMA) proteins function as scaffolding molecules that regulate activation of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor NF-?B. Recently, mutations in CARMA2 have been linked to psoriasis susceptibility due to their acquired altered capacity to activate NF-?B. By means of two-hybrid screening with yeast, we identified RING finger protein 7 (RNF7) as an interactor of CARMA2. We present evidence that RNF7 functions as a negative regulator of the NF-?B-activating capacity of CARMA2. Mechanistically, RNF7 influences CARMA2 signaling by regulating the ubiquitination state of MALT1 and the NF-?B-regulatory molecule NEMO. Interestingly, CARMA2short (CARMA2sh) mutants associated with psoriasis susceptibility escape the negative control exerted by RNF7. In conclusion, our findings identify a new mechanism through which the ability of CARMA2 to activate NF-?B is regulated, which could have significant implications for our understanding of why mutations of this protein trigger human psoriasis.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM21 negatively regulates the innate immune response to intracellular double-stranded DNA.

Project description:DDX41 is a sensor of intracellular double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) in myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) that triggers a type I interferon response via the signaling adaptor STING. We identified the E3 ligase TRIM21 as a DDX41-interacting protein and found that knockdown of or deficiency in TRIM21 resulted in enhanced type I interferon responses to intracellular dsDNA and DNA viruses. Overexpression of TRIM21 resulted in more degradation of DDX41 and less production of interferon-? (IFN-?) in response to intracellular dsDNA. The SPRY-PRY domain of TRIM21 interacted with the DEADc domain of DDX41. Lys9 and Lys115 of DDX41 were the targets of TRIM21-mediated ubiquitination. TRIM21 is therefore an interferon-inducible E3 ligase that induces the Lys48 (K48)-linked ubiquitination and degradation of DDX41 and negatively regulates the innate immune response to intracellular dsDNA.

E3 ligase RNF99 negatively regulates TLR-mediated inflammatory immune response via K48-linked ubiquitination of TAB2.

Project description:Innate immunity is the first line to defend against pathogenic microorganisms, and Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated inflammatory responses are an essential component of innate immunity. However, the regulatory mechanisms of TLRs in innate immunity remain unperfected. We found that the expression of E3 ligase Ring finger protein 99 (RNF99) decreased significantly in peripheral blood monocytes from patients infected with Gram negative bacteria (G-) and macrophages stimulated by TLRs ligands, indicating the role of RNF99. We also demonstrated for the first time, the protective role of RNF99 against LPS-induced septic shock and dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis using RNF99 knockout mice (RNF99-/-) and bone marrow-transplanted mice. In vitro experiments revealed that RNF99 deficiency significantly promoted TLR-mediated inflammatory cytokine expression and activated the NF-κB and MAPK pathways in macrophages. Mechanistically, in both macrophages and HEK293 cell line with TLR4 stably transfection, RNF99 interacted with and degraded TAK1-binding protein (TAB) 2, a regulatory protein of the kinase TAK1, via the lysine (K)48-linked ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway on lysine 611 of TAB2, which further regulated the TLR-mediated inflammatory response. Overall, these findings indicated the physiological significance of RNF99 in macrophages in regulating TLR-mediated inflammatory reactions. It provided new insight into TLRs signal transduction, and offered a novel approach for preventing bacterial infections, endotoxin shock, and other inflammatory ills.

E3 ubiquitin ligase Hades negatively regulates the exonuclear function of p53.

Project description:Following DNA damage, p53 translocates to the cytoplasm and mitochondria, where it triggers transcription-independent apoptosis by binding to Bcl-2 family proteins. However, little is known about how this exonuclear function of p53 is regulated. Here, we identify and characterize a p53-interacting protein called Hades, an E3 ligase that interacts with p53 in the mitochondria. Hades reduces p53 stability via a mechanism that requires its RING-finger domain with ubiquitin ligase activity. Hades polyubiquitinates p53 in vitro independent of Mdm2 and targets a critical lysine residue in p53 (lysine 24) distinct from those targeted by Mdm2. Hades inhibits a p53-dependent mitochondrial cell death pathway by inhibiting p53 and Bcl-2 interactions. These findings show that Hades-mediated p53 ubiquitination is a novel mechanism for negatively regulating the exonuclear function of p53.

E3 ligase WWP2 negatively regulates TLR3-mediated innate immune response by targeting TRIF for ubiquitination and degradation.

Project description:Recognition of viral double-stranded RNA by Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) triggers activation of the transcription factors NF-?B and interferon regulated factor 3, leading to induction of type I interferons and proinflammatory cytokines. TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-? (TRIF) is an adapter protein required for TLR3-mediated signaling. Here we identified the E3 ubiquitin ligase WW domain-containing protein 2 (WWP2) as a TRIF-associated protein by biochemical purification. WWP2 mediated K48-linked ubiquitination and degradation of TRIF upon TLR3 activation. Overexpression of WWP2 inhibited TLR3-mediated NF-?B and interferon regulated factor 3 activation, whereas knockdown of WWP2 had opposite effects. We generated Wwp2-deficient mice to further investigate the roles of Wwp2 in innate immune responses. Consistently, production of IFN-?, CCL5, TNF?, and IL-6 in response to the TLR3 ligand poly(I:C) was elevated in Wwp2(-/-) macrophages and Wwp2-deficient mice exhibited increased susceptibility to poly(I:C)-induced death than the control littermates. Our findings suggest that WWP2 negatively regulates TLR3-mediated innate immune and inflammatory responses by targeting TRIF for ubiquitination and degradation.

E3 ubiquitin ligase NEDD4L negatively regulates inflammation by promoting ubiquitination of MEKK2

Project description:Aberrant activation of inflammation signaling triggered by tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-1 (IL-1), and interleukin-17 (IL-17) is associated with immunopathology. Here we identify neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated gene 4-like (NEDD4L), a HECT type E3 ligase, as a common negative regulator of signaling induced by TNF-α, IL-1, and IL-17. NEDD4L modulates the degradation of mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 2 (MEKK2) via constitutively and directly binding to MEKK2 and promotes its poly-ubiquitination. In interleukin-17 receptor (IL-17R) signaling, Nedd4l knockdown or deficiency enhances IL-17-induced p38 and NF-κB activation and the production of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines in a MEKK2-dependent manner. We further show that IL-17-induced MEKK2 Ser520 phosphorylation is required not only for downstream p38 and NF-κB activation but also for NEDD4L-mediated MEKK2 degradation and the subsequent shutdown of IL-17R signaling. Importantly, Nedd4l deficient mice show increased susceptibility to IL-17-induced inflammation and aggravated symptoms of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in IL-17R signaling-dependent manner. These data suggest that NEDD4L acts as an inhibitor of IL-17R signaling, which ameliorates the pathogenesis of IL-17-mediated autoimmune diseases.

E3 ubiquitin ligase NEDD4L negatively regulates keratinocyte hyperplasia by promoting GP130 degradation

Project description:Psoriasis is mainly characterized by abnormal hyperplasia of keratinocytes and immune cells infiltrating into the dermis and epidermis. Neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4-like (NEDD4L) is a highly conserved HECT type E3 ligase that plays an important role in regulating physiological and pathological processes. Here, we identify NEDD4L as a negative regulator of psoriasis. Nedd4l significantly inhibits imiquimod (IMQ)-induced skin hyperplasia and this effect is attributed to the inhibitory effect of NEDD4L on IL-6/GP130 signaling in keratinocytes. Mechanistically, NEDD4L directly interacts with GP130 and mediates its Lys-27-linked ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Moreover, the expression of NEDD4L is downregulated in the epidermis from IMQ-treated mice and psoriasis patients, and negatively correlates with the protein levels of GP130 and p-STAT3 in clinical samples. Collectively, we uncover an inhibitory role of NEDD4L in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and suggest a new therapeutic strategy for the treatment of psoriasis.
