Project description:Proctor2007 - Age related decline of proteolysis, ubiquitin-proteome system
This
is a stochastic model of the ubiquitin-proteasome system for a
generic pool of native proteins (NatP), which have a half-life of
about 10 hours under normal conditions. It is assumed that these
proteins are only degraded after they have lost their native
structure due to a damage event. This is represented in the model
by the misfolding reaction which depends on the level of reactive
oxygen species (ROS) in the cell. Misfolded proteins (MisP) are
first bound by an E3 ubiquitin ligase. Ubiquitin (Ub) is
activated by E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme) and then passed to
E2 (ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme). The E2 enzyme then passes the
ubiquitin molecule to the E3/MisP complex with the net effect
that the misfolded protein is monoubiquitinated and both E2 and
E3 are released. Further ubiquitin molecules are added in a
step-wise manner. When the chain of ubiquitin molecules is of
length 4 or more, the polyubiquitinated misfolded protein may
bind to the proteasome. The model also includes de-ubiquitinating
enzymes (DUB) which cleave ubiquitin molecules from the chain in
a step-wise manner. They work on chains attached to misfolded
proteins both unbound and bound to the proteasomes. Misfolded
proteins bound to the proteasome may be degraded releasing
ubiquitin. Misfolded proteins including ubiquitinated proteins
may also aggregate. Aggregates (AggP) may be sequestered
(Seq_AggP) which takes them out of harm's way or they may bind to
the proteasome (AggP_Proteasome). Proteasomes bound by aggregates
are no longer available for protein degradation.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The ubiquitin-proteasome system is responsible
for homeostatic degradation of intact protein substrates as
well as the elimination of damaged or misfolded proteins that
might otherwise aggregate. During ageing there is a decline in
proteasome activity and an increase in aggregated proteins.
Many neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the
presence of distinctive ubiquitin-positive inclusion bodies in
affected regions of the brain. These inclusions consist of
insoluble, unfolded, ubiquitinated polypeptides that fail to be
targeted and degraded by the proteasome. We are using a systems
biology approach to try and determine the primary event in the
decline in proteolytic capacity with age and whether there is
in fact a vicious cycle of inhibition, with accumulating
aggregates further inhibiting proteolysis, prompting
accumulation of aggregates and so on. A stochastic model of the
ubiquitin-proteasome system has been developed using the
Systems Biology Mark-up Language (SBML). Simulations are
carried out on the BASIS (Biology of Ageing e-Science
Integration and Simulation) system and the model output is
compared to experimental data wherein levels of ubiquitin and
ubiquitinated substrates are monitored in cultured cells under
various conditions. The model can be used to predict the
effects of different experimental procedures such as inhibition
of the proteasome or shutting down the enzyme cascade
responsible for ubiquitin conjugation. RESULTS: The model
output shows good agreement with experimental data under a
number of different conditions. However, our model predicts
that monomeric ubiquitin pools are always depleted under
conditions of proteasome inhibition, whereas experimental data
show that monomeric pools were depleted in IMR-90 cells but not
in ts20 cells, suggesting that cell lines vary in their ability
to replenish ubiquitin pools and there is the need to
incorporate ubiquitin turnover into the model. Sensitivity
analysis of the model revealed which parameters have an
important effect on protein turnover and aggregation kinetics.
CONCLUSION: We have developed a model of the
ubiquitin-proteasome system using an iterative approach of
model building and validation against experimental data. Using
SBML to encode the model ensures that it can be easily modified
and extended as more data become available. Important aspects
to be included in subsequent models are details of ubiquitin
turnover, models of autophagy, the inclusion of a pool of
short-lived proteins and further details of the aggregation
process.

Project description:We established an assay to localize DNA-associated proteins that are slated for degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The genome-wide map we describe here ties proteolysis to active enhancer elements and to transcription start sites of specific gene families. ChIP-sequencing of ubiquitin and transcription factors was performed in the presence or absence of proteasome inhibition.
Project description:Resistance to proteasome inhibitors has prompted interest in blocking upstream components of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). We therefore evaluated the activity of TAK-243, a novel and specific inhibitor of E1 ubiquitin activating enzyme (UAE) activity, in the MM cell line MM1.S. Treatment of MM1.S with 25 nM TAK-243 for 24 hr caused extensive changes in gene expression, highly uniform between triplicates.
Project description:The conserved Ccr4-Not complex regulates all aspects of the RNA polymerase II (Pol II) gene expression pathway, while it also controls proteasome assembly and function. The Not4 RING domain ubiquitin ligase is a core subunit that also contains an RNA recognition motif (RRM) and C3H1 domain (collectively referred to as the RRM-C) whose function is unknown. Herein, we demonstrate that the Not4 RRM-C contributes to both Not4-dependent regulation of the proteasome and Pol II. Disruption of both Not4 ligase activity and the RRM-C domain simultaneously replicates the proteasome-dependent deubiquitylation and catalytic activity misregulation found in Not4-deficient cells. Transcriptome analysis reveals that the Not4 RRM-C affects a subset of Pol II-dependent genes involved in specific biological functions, including transcription elongation, cyclin-dependent kinase regulated nutrient responses, and ribosomal biogenesis. At these genes, the Not4 RRM-C negatively regulates Pol II binding. While Not4 RRM-C disruption modestly increases between Ccr4-Not and Pol II, a Not4 ligase mutant decreases Ccr4-Not association with Pol II, thus implicating Not4-dependent ubiquitylation in mediating Ccr4-Not interaction with Pol II. Collectively, our results suggests the cellular RNA environment may integrate control of global proteostasis and Pol II transcription through the Not4 ubiquitin ligase.
Project description:JAB1 is a regulator of ubiquitin mediated protein degradation upstream of the 26S proteasome. JAB1 regulates the ubiquitin proteasome system through controlling the activity of the largest family of E3 ubiquitin ligases, the Cullin-RING Ligases. JAB1 is also a transcriptional co-factor contolling the expression of numerous genes and regulates musculoskeletal development in vivo. It is reported that JAB1 is overexpressed in many cancers, making it a potential oncogene. Thus, JAB1 has a highly spatiotemporal specific role in development and cancer pathogenesis. This study aims to determine the JAB1-mediated transcriptome that exists in osteosarcoma cells.

Project description:This study provides a genome-wide map of changes in degradative ubiquitination in response to proteasome inhibition in the multiple myeloma cell line MM.1S. Following proteasome inhibition with lactacystin, CUT and RUN assays were carried out to determine the genomic locations of ubiquitin in multiple myeloma cells stably expressing a flagged version of ubiquitin (MM.1S-3XFlag Ubiquitin cells). In addition, we report the DNA binding locations of the transcription factor c-MYC in basal conditions in MM.1S parental cells.
Project description:The ubiquitin proteasome system plays an important role in the pathophysiology of Multiple Myeloma, highlighted by the unique success of proteasome inhibitors in this malignancy. Using topic-defined microarrays we have looked at expression of ubiquitin proteasome system genes in 2 multiple myeloma cell lines and normal bone marrow samples.
Project description:Human UBLCP1 is a unique nuclear phosphatase which has both ubiquitin-like domain and CTD phosphatase-like domain. UBLCP1 interacts with proteasome subunit Rpn1 and suppresses the activity of proteasome, but its role in gene expression is unknown. To identify genes whose expression levels are affected by UBLCP1 knockdown in human cultured cells, we performed gene expression profiling by microarray analysis.
