Chromatin targeting of the RNF12/RLIM E3 ubiquitin ligase controls transcriptional responses

ABSTRACT: Protein ubiquitylation regulates key biological processes including transcription. This is exemplified by the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF12/RLIM, which controls developmental gene expression by ubiquitylating the REX1 transcription factor and is mutated in an X-linked intellectual disability disorder. However, the precise mechanisms by which ubiquitylation drives specific transcriptional responses are not known. Here, we show that RNF12 is recruited to specific genomic locations via a consensus sequence motif, which enables co-localisation with REX1 substrate at gene promoters. Surprisingly, RNF12 chromatin recruitment is achieved via a non-catalytic basic region and comprises a previously unappreciated N-terminal autoinhibitory mechanism. Furthermore, RNF12 chromatin targeting is critical for REX1 ubiquitylation and downstream RNF12-dependent gene regulation. Our results demonstrate a key role for chromatin in regulation of the RNF12-REX1 axis and provide insight into mechanisms by which protein ubiquitylation enables programming of gene expression.

Chromatin targeting of the RNF12/RLIM E3 ubiquitin ligase controls gene-specific transcription

Project description:Protein ubiquitylation regulates key biological processes including transcription. This is exemplified by the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF12/RLIM, which is mutated in an X-linked intellectual disability disorder and controls developmental gene expression by ubiquitylating the REX1 transcription factor. However, the precise mechanisms by which ubiquitylation patterns specific transcriptional programmes are not known. Here, we show that genomic targeting of RNF12 selectively programmes developmental transcription. RNF12 is recruited to specific genomic locations by recognising a distinct consensus sequence motif, which enables co-localisation with REX1. Surprisingly, RNF12 chromatin recruitment is achieved via the non-catalytic basic region (BR) and comprises a previously unappreciated autoinhibitory mechanism. Furthermore, RNF12 chromatin targeting is critical for REX1 ubiquitylation and downstream RNF12-dependent gene regulation. Our results demonstrate a key role for chromatin in regulation of the RNF12-REX1 axis and provides insight into mechanisms by which spatial control of protein ubiquitylation enables specific programming of gene expression.

Critical role of the UBL-domain in stimulating the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of UHRF1 towards chromatin

Project description:The RING E3 ubiquitin ligase UHRF1 controls DNA methylation through its ability to target the maintenance DNA methyltransferase DNMT1 to newly replicated chromatin. DNMT1 recruitment relies on ubiquitylation of histone H3 by UHRF1, however, how UHRF1 deposits ubiquitin onto the histone is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the ubiquitin-like domain (UBL) of UHRF1 is essential for RING-mediated H3 ubiquitylation. Using chemical crosslinking and mass spectrometry, biochemical assays and recombinant chromatin substrates we show that the UBL participates in structural rearrangements of UHRF1 upon binding to chromatin and the E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UbcH5a/UBE2D1. Similar to ubiquitin, the UBL exerts its effects through a hydrophobic patch that contacts a regulatory surface on the “backside” of the E2 to stabilise the E2-E3-chromatin complex. Our analysis of the enzymatic mechanism of UHRF1 uncovers an unexpected function of the UBL-domain and defines a new role for this domain in DNMT1-dependent inheritance of DNA methylation.

Genome-wide regulations of the preinitiation complex formation and elongating RNA polymerase II by an E3 ubiquitin ligase, San1.

Project description:San1 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in nuclear protein quality control via its interaction with intrinsically disordered proteins for ubiquitylation and 26S proteasomal degradation. Since a number of transcription/chromatin regulatory factors contain intrinsically disordered domains and can be inhibitory to transcription when in excess, San1 might be involved in regulation of transcription. To address this, we carried out ChIP-seq (Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing) here to analyze the role of San1 in genome-wide association of TBP (TATA-box binding protein that nucleates the preinitiation complex formation at the promoter for transcription initiation) and RNA polymerase II (that is recruited to the promoter by TBP and subsequently engaged in transcription elongation at the coding sequence for mRNA biosynthesis). Our results reveal the genome-wide role of San1 in facilitating the recruitment of TBP to the promoter, thus indicating its involvement in promoting the preinitiation complex formation for transcription initiation. Further, we find the global role of San1 in regulating RNA polymerase II at the coding sequence.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase RFWD3 is required for translesion DNA synthesis

Project description:Lesions on DNA can uncouple DNA synthesis from helicase unwinding, generating stretches of unreplicated single stranded DNA (ssDNA) behind the replication fork. These ssDNA gaps need to be filled in to complete DNA duplication and thereby avoid the generation of DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs), a major source of genomic instability. Gap filling repair involves either translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) or template switching (TS) to bypass the lesion. At the heart of these processes, ubiquitylated PCNA recruits many proteins that dictate pathway choice, but the enzymes regulating PCNA ubiquitylation in vertebrates remain poorly defined. Here we report that the E3 ubiquitin ligase RFWD3 promotes non-specific ubiquitylation of proteins on ssDNA, to enhance protein accumulation and stimulate gap filling repair. The absence of RFWD3 leads to a profound defect in recruitment of key repair and signaling factors to damaged chromatin, including ubiquitin and proteins known to ubiquitylate and interact with ubiquitylated PCNA. As a result, PCNA ubiquitylation is severely inhibited without RFWD3, and TLS across different DNA lesions drastically impaired. We propose that RFWD3 is an essential coordinator of the response to ssDNA gaps, where it triggers wide spread ubiquitylation to drive recruitment of effectors of PCNA ubiquitylation and DNA damage bypass.

Rescue of HIF1A protein level by E3-ligase KO

Project description:The hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α (HIF-1α) enables cells to adapt and respond to hypoxia (Hx), and the activity of this transcription factor is regulated by several oncogenic signals and cellular stressors. While the pathways controlling normoxic degradation of HIF-1α are well understood, the mechanisms supporting the sustained stabilization and activity of HIF-1α under Hx are less clear. We report that ABL kinase activity protects HIF-1α from proteasomal degradation during Hx. Using a fluorescence-activated cell-sorting (FACS)-based CRISPR/Cas9 screen, we identified HIF-1α as a substrate of the cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor-1 (CPSF1), an E3-ligase which targets HIF-1α for degradation in the presence of an ABL kinase inhibitor in Hx.

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.

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

Project description: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.
