The AMBRA1 E3 ligase adaptor regulates Cyclin D protein stability [U2OS cells]

ABSTRACT: The initiation of cell division is a fundamental process that integrates a large number of intra- and extra-cellular inputs. In mammalian cells, D-type cyclins (Cyclin D) couple these inputs to the decision to initiate DNA replication. Increased levels of Cyclin D promote cell cycle progression by activating cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6). Accordingly, increased levels and activity of Cyclin D and their associated kinases are strongly linked to unchecked cell proliferation and tumor development. Despite this central role of Cyclin D in cell cycle progression, the mechanisms regulating their levels remain incompletely understood. Here we describe AMBRA1 as the main regulator of Cyclin D protein degradation. We first identify AMBRA1 as the top candidate in a genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 loss-of-function screen investigating the genetic basis of resistance to chemical CDK4/6 inhibition. AMBRA1 loss results in high protein levels of Cyclin D in cells and in mice. AMBRA1 loss further promotes lung cancer development in a mouse model, and low levels of AMBRA1 correlate with worse survival in lung cancer patients. Mechanistically, AMBRA1 acts as a substrate receptor for the Cullin 4 E3 ligase complex to promote ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of the three Cyclin D family members. Thus, AMBRA1 regulates Cyclin D protein levels and contributes to the development of cancer as well as the response of cancer cells to CDK4/6 inhibitors.

The AMBRA1 E3 ligase adaptor regulates the stability of cyclin D

Project description:The initiation of cell division integrates a large number of intra- and extracellular inputs. D-type cyclins (hereafter, cyclin D) couple these inputs to the initiation of DNA replication1. Increased levels of cyclin D promote cell division by activating cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (hereafter, CDK4/6), which in turn phosphorylate and inactivate the retinoblastoma tumour suppressor. Accordingly, increased levels and activity of cyclin D-CDK4/6 complexes are strongly linked to unchecked cell proliferation and cancer2,3. However, the mechanisms that regulate levels of cyclin D are incompletely understood4,5. Here we show that autophagy and beclin 1 regulator 1 (AMBRA1) is the main regulator of the degradation of cyclin D. We identified AMBRA1 in a genome-wide screen to investigate the genetic basis of the response to CDK4/6 inhibition. Loss of AMBRA1 results in high levels of cyclin D in cells and in mice, which promotes proliferation and decreases sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibition. Mechanistically, AMBRA1 mediates ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of cyclin D as a substrate receptor for the cullin 4 E3 ligase complex. Loss of AMBRA1 enhances the growth of lung adenocarcinoma in a mouse model, and low levels of AMBRA1 correlate with worse survival in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Thus, AMBRA1 regulates cellular levels of cyclin D, and contributes to cancer development and the response of cancer cells to CDK4/6 inhibitors.

Ambra1 spatially regulates Src activity and Src/FAK-mediated cancer cell invasion via trafficking networks

Project description:Here, using mouse squamous cell carcinoma cells, we report a completely new function for the autophagy protein Ambra1 as the first described ‘spatial rheostat’ controlling the Src/FAK pathway. Ambra1 regulates the targeting of active phospho-Src away from focal adhesions into autophagic structures that cancer cells use to survive adhesion stress. Ambra1 binds to both FAK and Src in cancer cells. When FAK is present, Ambra1 is recruited to focal adhesions, promoting FAK-regulated cancer cell direction-sensing and invasion. However, when Ambra1 cannot bind to FAK, abnormally high levels of phospho-Src and phospho-FAK accumulate at focal adhesions, positively regulating adhesion and invasive migration. Spatial control of active Src requires the trafficking proteins Dynactin 1 and IFITM3, which we identified as Ambra1 binding partners by interaction proteomics. We conclude that Ambra1 is a core component of an intracellular trafficking network linked to tight spatial control of active Src and FAK levels, and so crucially regulates their cancer-associated biological outputs.

Non-phosphorylatable cyclin D1 mutant potentiates endometrial hyperplasia and drives carcinoma with Pten loss

Project description:Cyclin D1 is a regulatory subunit of cyclin-Dependent Kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) and regulates progression from G1 to S phase of the cell cycle. Dysregulated cyclin D1-CDK4/6 contributes to tumor development. Enforced expression of non-phosphorylatable cyclin D1T286A mutant, frequently observed in human cancers, drives tumorigenesis. However, physiological functions of cyclin D1T286A is unclear. We have generated a conditional knock-in mouse model where cyclin D1T286A is expressed under the control of its endogenous promoter, permitting us to study the precise functions of cyclin D1T286A in tumorigenesis. The expression of cyclin D1T286A from its endogenous promoter induces inflammation-mediated lymphocyte disorder and mesenteric tumor formation. Uterine-specific expression of cyclin D1T286A accelerates Pten loss driven endometrial hyperplasia to promote uterine cancer.

Targeting cancer stem cells in medulloblastoma by inhibiting AMBRA1 dual function in autophagy and STAT3 signalling

Project description:Medulloblastoma (MB) is a childhood malignant brain tumour comprising four main subgroups characterized by different genetic alterations and rate of mortality. Among MB subgroups, patients with enhanced levels of the c-MYC oncogene (MBGroup3) have the poorest prognosis. Here we identified a previously unrecognized role of the pro-autophagy factor AMBRA1 in regulating MB. We demonstrated that AMBRA1 expression levels strongly depend on c-MYC expression and correlate with patient poor prognosis; also, knockdown of AMBRA1 reduces MB stem potential, growth and migration of MBGroup3 cells in vitro and in vivo. At a molecular level, AMBRA1 mediates these effects by suppressing SOCS3, an inhibitor of STAT3 activation. In turn, active STAT3 increases c-MYC expression that, in a positive feedback loop, sustains AMBRA1 transcription. Importantly, pharmacological inhibition of autophagy profoundly affects stem potential and metastasization of MBGroup3 cells in vitro and in vivo, and a combined anti-autophagy and anti-STAT3 approach impacts MBGroup3 cell survival. Taken together, our data identified the c-MYC/AMBRA1/STAT3 axis as a strong oncogenic signalling pathway with significance for both patient stratification strategies and targeted treatments of MBGroup3.

Rb and the APC/C coactivator FZR1 determine CDK4/6-Cyclin D requirement in C. elegans and human cancer cells

Project description:Cyclin dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) in complex with D-type cyclins promote cell cycle entry, at least in part through phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (Rb). The CDK4/6-cyclin D-Rb pathway is commonly deregulated in human cancer, often through CDK4/6 or D-type cyclin overexpression, or inactivation of the CDK4/6 antagonist p16/CDKN2A. Importantly, a substantial fraction of cancers depend on continuous CDK4/6-cyclin D kinase activity and are sensitive to CDK4/6-specific inhibitors. Here, we investigate critical CDK4/6-cyclin D functions that may determine the sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitors, making use of the essential roles of CDK4/6 (CDK-4) and cyclin D (CYD-1) in the nematode C. elegans. In an unbiased screen, we found that simultaneous loss of C. elegans Rb (lin-35) and down-regulation of the APC/C substrate specificity factor FZR1/Cdh1 completely overcomes CDK-4/CYD-1 requirement. Furthermore, CDK-4/CYD-1 phosphorylates specific residues in the LIN-35 Rb spacer domain and FZR-1 N-terminus that correspond to inactivating phosphorylations of the human homologs. Thus, CDK-4/CYD-1 appears to promote cell cycle entry by antagonizing not only transcriptional repression by LIN-35 Rb but also protein degradation by APC/CFZR-1. Simultaneous knockdown of Rb and FZR1 in human breast cancer cells synergistically overcomes arrest by the CDK4/6-specific inhibitor PD 00332991. These results reveal APC/CFZR1 as a putative CDK4/6-Cyclin D target and important contributing factor in the response to CDK4/6-inhibitor treatment.

Structure of the DDB1-AMBRA1 E3 ligase receptor complex linked to cell cycle regulation

Project description:AMBRA1 is a tumor suppressor protein that functions as a substrate receptor of the ubiquitin conjugation system with roles in autophagy and the cell cycle regulatory network. The intrinsic disorder of AMBRA1 has thus far precluded its structural determination. To solve this problem, we analyzed the dynamics of AMBRA1 using hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS). The HDX results indicated that AMBRA1 is a highly flexible protein and can be stabilized upon interaction with DDB1, the adaptor of the Cullin4A/B E3 ligase. Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of AMBRA1 in complex with DDB1 at 3.08 Å resolution. The structure shows that parts of the N- and C-terminal structural regions in AMBRA1 fold together into the highly dynamic WD40 domain and reveals how DDB1 engages with AMBRA1 to create a binding scaffold for substrate recruitment. The N-terminal helix-loop-helix motif and WD40 domain of AMBRA1 associate with the double-propeller fold of DDB1. We also demonstrate that DDB1 binding-defective AMBRA1 mutants prevent ubiquitination of the substrate Cyclin D1 in vitro and increase cell cycle progression. Together, these results provide structural insights into the AMBRA1-ubiquitin ligase complex and suggest a mechanism by which AMBRA1 acts as a hub involved in various physiological processes.
