UBR5 Forms Ligand-Dependent Complexes on Chromatin to Regulate Nuclear Hormone Receptor Binding [ChIP-Seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Nuclear hormone receptors (NRs) are ligand-binding transcription factors that are important therapeutic targets in malignancy. Hormone binding triggers NR activation and their subsequent proteasomal degradation through unknown ligand-dependent ubiquitin ligase machinery. NR degradation is therapeutically relevant: the oncogenic PML-RARA fusion between PML and the retinoic acid receptor (RARA) drives acute promyelocytic leukemia and degradation of PML-RARA induced by all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) is required for anti-tumor activity. We identify a Leu-X-X-Leu-Leu (LxxLL) binding motif that associates with a conserved degron in RARA. A high-resolution crystal structure of the RARA ligand binding domain in complex with this LxxLL motif shows how UBR5 binding is mutually exclusive with nuclear co-activator engagement. Our work establishes UBR5-driven NR degradation as an integral regulator of transcriptional signaling by nuclear hormones.
