The nonreceptor tyrosine kinase c-Src attenuates SCF(β-TrCP) E3-ligase activity abrogating Taz proteasomal degradation.

ABSTRACT: The polyomavirus middle T antigen (PyMT) oncogene activates the cellular nonreceptor tyrosine kinase c-Src and recruits the Hippo pathway effectors, Yap (yes-associated protein) and Taz (transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif), as key steps in oncogenesis. Yap and Taz are transcription coactivators shuttling from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. The Hippo pathway kinase Lats1/2 (large tumor suppressor homolog) reduces Yap/Taz nuclear localization and minimizes their cytoplasmic levels by facilitating their ubiquitination by the E3 ligase SCF(β-TrCP). In contrast, PyMT increases the cytoplasmic Taz level. Here we show that this unique PyMT behavior is mediated by Src. We demonstrate that PyMT-induced Src activation inhibits degradation of both wild-type and tyrosine-less Taz, ruling out Taz modification as a mechanism of escaping degradation. Instead, we found that Src attenuates the SCF(β-TrCP) E3-ligase activity in blunting Taz proteasomal degradation. The role of Src in rescuing Taz from TrCP-mediated degradation gives rise to higher cell proliferation under dense cell culture. Finally, IkB (NF-kappa-B inhibitor), a known substrate of β-TrCP, was rescued by Src, suggesting a wider effect of Src on β-TrCP substrates. These findings introduce the Src tyrosine kinase as a regulator of SCF(β-TrCP).

TAZ promotes PC2 degradation through a SCFbeta-Trcp E3 ligase complex.

Project description:Studies of a TAZ knockout mouse reveal a novel function of the transcriptional regulator TAZ, that is, as a binding partner of the F-box protein beta-Trcp. TAZ-/- mice develop polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and emphysema. The calcium-permeable cation channel protein polycystin 2 (PC2) is overexpressed in kidneys of TAZ-/- mice as a result of decreased degradation via an SCF(beta-Trcp) E3 ubiquitin ligase pathway. Replacements of serines in a phosphodegron motif in TAZ prevent beta-Trcp binding and PC2 degradation. Coexpression of a cytoplasmic fragment of polycystin 1 blocks the PC2-TAZ interaction and prevents TAZ-mediated degradation of PC2. Depletion of TAZ in zebrafish also results in a cystic kidney accompanied by overexpression of PC2. These results establish a common role of TAZ across vertebrate species in a protein degradation pathway regulated by phosphorylation and implicate deficiencies in this pathway in the development of PKD.

Serine Phosphorylation by mTORC1 Promotes IRS-1 Degradation through SCF?-TRCP E3 Ubiquitin Ligase.

Project description:The insulin receptor substrate IRS-1 is a key substrate of insulin and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor tyrosine kinases that mediates their metabolic and growth-promoting actions. Proteasomal degradation of IRS-1 is induced following activation of the downstream kinase mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) to constitute a negative feedback loop. However, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here we report that Ser 422 of IRS-1 is phosphorylated by mTORC1 and required for IRS-1 degradation induced by prolonged IGF stimulation. Phosphorylation of Ser 422 then recruits the SCF?-TRCP E3 ligase complex, which catalyzes IRS-1 ubiquitination. Phosphorylation-dependent IRS-1 degradation contributes to impaired growth and survival responses to IGF in cells lacking TSC2, a negative regulator of mTORC1. Inhibition of IRS-1 degradation promotes sustained Akt activation in IGF-stimulated cells. Our work clarifies the nature of the IRS-1-mTORC1 feedback loop and elucidates its role in temporal regulation of IGF signaling.

DNA damage regulates UHRF1 stability via the SCF(?-TrCP) E3 ligase.

Project description:UHRF1 (ubiquitin-like, with PHD and RING finger domains 1) is a critical epigenetic player involved in the maintenance of DNA methylation patterns during DNA replication. Dysregulation of the UHRF1 level is implicated in cancer onset, metastasis, and tumor recurrence. Previous studies demonstrated that UHRF1 can be stabilized through USP7-mediated deubiquitylation, but the mechanism through which UHRF1 is ubiquitylated is still unknown. Here we show that proteasomal degradation of UHRF1 is mediated by the SCF(?-TrCP) E3 ligase. Through bioinformatic and mutagenesis studies, we identified a functional DSG degron in the UHRF1 N terminus that is necessary for UHRF1 stability regulation. We further show that UHRF1 physically interacts with ?-TrCP1 in a manner dependent on phosphorylation of serine 108 (S108(UHRF1)) within the DSG degron. Furthermore, we demonstrate that S108(UHRF1) phosphorylation is catalyzed by casein kinase 1 delta (CK1?) and is important for the recognition of UHRF1 by SCF(?-TrCP). Importantly, we demonstrate that UHRF1 degradation is accelerated in response to DNA damage, coincident with enhanced S108(UHRF1) phosphorylation. Taken together, our data identify SCF(?-TrCP) as a bona fide UHRF1 E3 ligase important for regulating UHRF1 steady-state levels both under normal conditions and in response to DNA damage.

The SCF?-TRCP E3 ubiquitin ligase complex targets Lipin1 for ubiquitination and degradation to promote hepatic lipogenesis.

Project description:The SCF?-TRCP E3 ubiquitin ligase complex plays pivotal roles in normal cellular physiology and in pathophysiological conditions. Identification of ?-transducin repeat-containing protein (?-TRCP) substrates is therefore critical to understand SCF?-TRCP biology and function. We used a ?-TRCP-phosphodegron motif-specific antibody in a ?-TRCP substrate screen coupled with tandem mass spectrometry and identified multiple ?-TRCP substrates. One of these substrates was Lipin1, an enzyme and suppressor of the family of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) transcription factors, which activate genes encoding lipogenic factors. We showed that SCF?-TRCP specifically interacted with and promoted the polyubiquitination of Lipin1 in a manner that required phosphorylation of Lipin1 by mechanistic target of rapamycin 1 (mTORC1) and casein kinase I (CKI). ?-TRCP depletion in HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells resulted in increased Lipin1 protein abundance, suppression of SREBP-dependent gene expression, and attenuation of triglyceride synthesis. Moreover, ?-TRCP1 knockout mice showed increased Lipin1 protein abundance and were protected from hepatic steatosis induced by a high-fat diet. Together, these data reveal a critical physiological function of ?-TRCP in regulating hepatic lipid metabolic homeostasis in part through modulating Lipin1 stability.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM31 attenuates NLRP3 inflammasome activation by promoting proteasomal degradation of NLRP3.

Project description:The NLRP3 inflammasome has a fundamental role in host defence against microbial pathogens and its deregulation may cause diverse inflammatory diseases. NLRP3 protein expression is a rate-limiting step for inflammasome activation, thus its expression must be tightly controlled to maintain immune homeostasis and avoid detrimental effects. However, how NLRP3 expression is regulated remains largely unknown. In this study, we identify E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM31 as a feedback suppressor of NLRP3 inflammasome. TRIM31 directly binds to NLRP3, promotes K48-linked polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of NLRP3. Consequently, TRIM31 deficiency enhances NLRP3 inflammasome activation and aggravates alum-induced peritonitis in vivo. Furthermore, TRIM31 deficiency attenuates the severity of dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis, an inflammatory bowel diseases model in which NLRP3 possesses protective roles. Thus, our research describes a mechanism by which TRIM31 limits NLRP3 inflammasome activity under physiological conditions and suggests TRIM31 as a potential therapeutic target for the intervention of NLRP3 inflammasome related diseases.

Crumbs promotes expanded recognition and degradation by the SCF(Slimb/β-TrCP) ubiquitin ligase.

Project description:In epithelial tissues, growth control depends on the maintenance of proper architecture through apicobasal polarity and cell-cell contacts. The Hippo signaling pathway has been proposed to sense tissue architecture and cell density via an intimate coupling with the polarity and cell contact machineries. The apical polarity protein Crumbs (Crb) controls the activity of Yorkie (Yki)/Yes-activated protein, the progrowth target of the Hippo pathway core kinase cassette, both in flies and mammals. The apically localized Four-point-one, Ezrin, Radixin, Moesin domain protein Expanded (Ex) regulates Yki by promoting activation of the kinase cascade and by directly tethering Yki to the plasma membrane. Crb interacts with Ex and promotes its apical localization, thereby linking cell polarity with Hippo signaling. We show that, as well as repressing Yki by recruiting Ex to the apical membrane, Crb promotes phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitin-mediated degradation of Ex. We identify Skp/Cullin/F-box(Slimb/β-transducin repeats-containing protein) (SCF(Slimb/β-TrCP)) as the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex responsible for Ex degradation. Thus, Crb is part of a homeostatic mechanism that promotes Ex inhibition of Yki, but also limits Ex activity by inducing its degradation, allowing precise tuning of Yki function.

E3 Ubiquitin Ligase RNF13 Suppresses TLR Lysosomal Degradation by Promoting LAMP-1 Proteasomal Degradation.

Project description:As a highly organized system, endo-lysosomes play a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis. However, the mechanisms involved in regulating endo-lysosome progression and subsequent inflammatory responses are not fully understood. By screening 103 E3 ubiquitin ligases in regulating endo-lysosomal acidification, it is discovered that lysosomal RNF13 inhibits lysosome maturation and promotes inflammatory responses mediated by endosomal Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in macrophages. Mechanistically, RNF13 mediates K48-linked polyubiquitination of LAMP-1 at residue K128 for proteasomal degradation. Upon TLRs activation, LAMP-1 promotes lysosomes maturation, which accelerates lysosomal degradation of TLRs and reduces TLR signaling in macrophages. Furthermore, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) show increased RNF13 levels and decreased LAMP-1 expression. Accordingly, the immunosuppressive agent hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) can increase the polyubiquitination of RNF13. Taken together, the study establishes a linkage between proteasomal and lysosomal degradation mechanisms for the induction of appropriate innate immune response, and offers a promising approach for the treatment of inflammatory diseases by targeting intracellular TLRs.

SCFβ-TRCP E3 ubiquitin ligase targets the tumor suppressor ZNRF3 for ubiquitination and degradation.

Project description:Wnt signaling has emerged as a major regulator of tissue development by governing the self-renewal and maintenance of stem cells in most tissue types. As a key upstream regulator of the Wnt pathway, the transmembrane E3 ligase ZNRF3 has recently been established to play a role in negative regulation of Wnt signaling by targeting Frizzled (FZD) receptor for ubiquitination and degradation. However, the upstream regulation of ZNRF3, in particular the turnover of ZNRF3, is still unclear. Here we report that ZNRF3 is accumulated in the presence of proteasome inhibitor treatment independent of its E3-ubiquitin ligase activity. Furthermore, the Cullin 1-specific SCF complex containing β-TRCP has been identified to directly interact with and ubiquitinate ZNRF3 thereby regulating its protein stability. Similar with the degradation of β-catenin by β-TRCP, ZNRF3 is ubiquitinated by β-TRCP in both CKI-phosphorylation- and degron-dependent manners. Thus, our findings not only identify a novel substrate for β-TRCP oncogenic regulation, but also highlight the dual regulation of Wnt signaling by β-TRCP in a context-dependent manner where β-TRCP negatively regulates Wnt signaling by targeting β-catenin, and positively regulates Wnt signaling by targeting ZNRF3.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP mediates ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of PRMT5.

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is an important member of the protein arginine methyltransferase family that regulates many cellular processes through epigenetic control of target gene expression. Because of its overexpression in a number of human cancers and its essential role in cell proliferation, transformation, and cell cycle progression, PRMT5 has been recently proposed to function as an oncoprotein in cancer cells. However, how its expression is regulated in cancer cells remains largely unknown. We have previously demonstrated that the transcription of PRMT5 can be negatively regulated by the PKC/c-Fos signaling pathway through modulating the transcription factor NF-Y in prostate cancer cells. In the present study, we demonstrated that PRMT5 undergoes polyubiquitination, possibly through multiple lysine residues. We also identified carboxyl terminus of heat shock cognate 70-interacting protein (CHIP), an important chaperone-dependent E3 ubiquitin ligase that couples protein folding/refolding to protein degradation, as an interacting protein of PRMT5 via mass spectrometry. Their interaction was further verified by co-immuoprecipitation, GST pull-down, and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay. In addition, we provided evidence that the CHIP/chaperone system is essential for the negative regulation of PRMT5 expression via K48-linked ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation. Given that down-regulation of CHIP and overexpression of PRMT5 have been observed in several human cancers, our finding suggests that down-regulation of CHIP may be one of the mechanisms underlying PRMT5 overexpression in these cancers.

SCF E3 ligase F-box protein complex SCF(FBXL19) regulates cell migration by mediating Rac1 ubiquitination and degradation.

Project description:Rac1, a member of the Rho family of GTPases, regulates diverse cellular functions, including cytoskeleton reorganization and cell migration. F-box proteins are major subunits within the Skp1-Cul1-F-box (SCF) E3 ubiquitin ligases that recognize specific substrates for ubiquitination. The role of F-box proteins in regulating Rac1 stability has not been studied. Mouse lung epithelial (MLE12) cells were used to investigate Rac1 stability and cell migration. Screening of an F-box protein library and in vitro ubiquitination assays identified FBXL19, a relatively new member of the F-box protein family that targets Rac1 for its polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Overexpression of FBXL19 decreased both Rac1 active and inactive forms and significantly reduced cellular migration. Protein kinase AKT-mediated phosphorylation of Rac1 at serine(71) was essential for FBXL19-mediated Rac1 ubiquitination and depletion. Lysine(166) within Rac1 was identified as a polyubiquitination acceptor site. Rac1(S71A) and Rac1(K166R) mutant proteins were resistant to FBXL19-mediated ubiquitination and degradation. Further, ectopically expressed FBXL19 reduced cell migration in Rac1-overexpressing cells (P<0.01, Rac1 cells vs. FBXL19+Rac1 cells), but not in Rac1 lysine(166) mutant-overexpressing cells. FBXL19 diminished formation of the migratory leading edge. Thus, SCF(FBXL19) targets Rac1 for its disposal, a process regulated by AKT. These findings provide the first evidence of an F-box protein targeting a small G protein for ubiquitination and degradation to modulate cell migration.
