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.

Project description:The E3 ubiquitin ligase UHRF1 is an established cofactor for replication-coupled DNA methylation inheritance. The current model posits a stepwise pathway in which UHRF1 engages nucleosomes through histone and DNA binding. This multivalent nucleosome readout directs UHRF1 ubiquitin ligase activity toward several lysines on N-terminal tails of histone H3, binding sites for DNMT1 through tandem ubiquitin interacting motifs (UIM1 and UIM2). While this elegant chromatin regulatory mechanism is now taking shape, the extent to which ubiquitin signaling through UHRF1 contributes to DNMT1-dependent DNA methylation maintenance genome-wide is not known. Here, we present comparative, genome-scale analysis of DNA methylation inheritance in human colon cancer cells with compromised UHRF1 ubiquitin ligase and DNMT1 ubiquitin reading activities. We reveal that DNA methylation maintenance in contexts of low CpG density is particularly vulnerable to disruption of UHRF1 ubiquitin ligase activity. This low CpG density hypomethylation signature, a common feature of partially methylated domains (PMDs) in human cancers, is also seen when DNMT1 ubiquitin reading activity through UIM1 is disrupted. Notably, disrupting UIM2 function affects DNA methylation inheritance to a similar extent as a catalytically dead form of the enzyme. Collectively, these studies demonstrate that DNMT1-dependent DNA methylation inheritance is a ubiquitin-regulated process and suggest that a disrupted UHRF1-DNMT1 ubiquitin signaling axis contributes to the development of PMDs in human cancers.

Project description:Transcriptome analysis by RNA-seq of lungs from control and Rfwd2 epithelial-specific conditional knockout mice at embryonic 13.5 day age. RFWD2, is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that modifies specific target proteins, priming their degradation via the ubiquitin proteasome system. Rfwd2 deficiency led to a striking halt in branching morphogenesis shortly after secondary branch formation. In the mutant lung, two ETS transcript factors essential for normal lung branching, ETV4 and ETV5, were upregulated at the protein, but not transcript level. Introduction of Etv loss-of-function alleles into the Rfwd2 mutant background attenuated the branching phenotype, suggesting that RFWD2 functions at least in part through degrading ETV proteins. As a number of E3 ligases are known to target factors important for lung development, our findings provides a preview of a protein-level regulatory network essential for lung branching morphogenesis.

Project description:Primary and secondary hypertension are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Elevated secretion of aldosterone resulting from primary aldosteronism (PA) is a key driver of secondary hypertension. Here, we identify an unexpected role for the ubiquitin ligase Siah1 in adrenal gland development and PA. Siah1a-/- mice exhibit altered adrenal gland morphology, as reflected by dysregulated zonation of the glomerulosa, increased aldosterone levels and aldosterone target gene expression, and reduced plasma potassium levels. Genes involved in catecholamine biosynthesis and cAMP signaling are upregulated in the adrenal glands of Siah1a-/- mice, while genes related to retinoic acid signaling and cholesterol biosynthesis are downregulated. Loss of Siah1 leads to increased expression of PIAS1, an E3 SUMO-protein ligase implicated in the suppression of LXR. Notably, SIAH1 sequence variants which impaired SIAH1 ubiquitin ligase activity, resulting in elevated PIAS1 expression, were identified in patients with PA. The involvement of Siah1–PIAS1 in adrenal gland organization and function points to a possible new therapeutic target for hyperaldosteronism.
