Autoantigen Ro52 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Anti-Ro/SSA antibodies are classic autoantibodies commonly found in patients with Sj?gren's syndrome, a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by dryness of the eyes and mouth. The autoantibodies recognize a RING-finger protein, Ro52, whose function is still unknown. Since many RING-finger proteins have been identified as E3 ubiquitin ligases, this study was designed to determine whether Ro52 functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. For this purpose, recombinant Ro52 was purified from bacterial lysate and used to investigate its activity of E3 ubiquitin ligase in vitro. Its enzymatic activity was also tested in HEK293T cells using wild-type Ro52 and its RING-finger mutant. Our results indicated that Ro52 ubiquitinates itself in cooperation with E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UbcH5B, thereby validating that Ro52 is a RING-finger-type E3 ubiquitin ligase. Importantly, this ubiquitin modification is predominantly monoubiquitination, which does not target Ro52 to the proteasome for degradation. 相似文献

The Slx5/Slx8 heterodimer constitutes a SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL) with an important role in SUMO-targeted degradation and SUMO-dependent signaling. This STUbL relies on SUMO-interacting motifs in Slx5 to aid in substrate targeting and carboxy-terminal RING domains in both Slx5 and Slx8 for substrate ubiquitylation. In budding yeast cells, Slx5 resides in the nucleus, forms distinct foci, and can associate with double-stranded DNA breaks. However, it remains unclear how STUbLs interact with other proteins and their substrates. To examine the targeting and functions of the Slx5/Slx8 STUbL, we constructed and analyzed truncations of the Slx5 protein. Our structure–function analysis reveals a domain of Slx5 involved in nuclear localization and in the interaction with Slx5, SUMO, Slx8, and a novel interactor, the SUMO E3 ligase Siz1. We further analyzed the functional interaction of Slx5 and Siz1 in vitro and in vivo. We found that a recombinant Siz1 fragment is an in vitro ubiquitylation target of the Slx5/Slx8 STUbL. Furthermore, slx5∆ cells accumulate phosphorylated and sumoylated adducts of Siz1 in vivo. Specifically, we show that Siz1 can be ubiquitylated in vivo and is degraded in an Slx5-dependent manner when its nuclear egress is prevented in mitosis. In conclusion, our data provide a first look into the STUbL-mediated regulation of a SUMO E3 ligase. 相似文献

The HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase Rsp5, a yeast member of the Nedd4 family, has been implicated in many different aspects of cell physiology. Here, we present evidence that Rsp5 function is important for ubiquitin homeostasis. Several observations suggest that ubiquitin is limiting in the rsp5-1 mutant. Reduced synthesis of ubiquitin appears to contribute to ubiquitin depletion. A transient inhibition of general protein synthesis is observed in a wildtype strain upon heat-shock. While the wildtype cells quickly recover from this transient arrest, the rsp5-1 cells remain arrested. This suggests that Rsp5 is important for recovery from heat-induced protein synthesis arrest. Our results suggest that rsp5 phenotypes should be interpreted with caution, since some of the phenotypes could be simply the result of ubiquitin limitation. 相似文献

The ubiquitin system plays an important role in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation of proteins that are misfolded, that fail to associate with their oligomerization partners, or whose levels are metabolically regulated. E3 ubiquitin ligases are key enzymes in the ubiquitination process as they recognize the substrate and facilitate coupling of multiple ubiquitin units to the protein that is to be degraded. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae ER-resident E3 ligase Hrd1p/Der3p functions in the metabolically regulated degradation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase and additionally facilitates the degradation of a number of misfolded proteins from the ER. In this study we characterized the structure and function of the putative human orthologue of yeast Hrd1p/Der3p, designated human HRD1. We show that human HRD1 is a non-glycosylated, stable ER protein with a cytosolic RING-H2 finger domain. In the presence of the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBC7, the RING-H2 finger has in vitro ubiquitination activity for Lys(48)-specific polyubiquitin linkage, suggesting that human HRD1 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in protein degradation. Human HRD1 appears to be involved in the basal degradation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase but not in the degradation that is regulated by sterols. Additionally we show that human HRD1 is involved in the elimination of two model ER-associated degradation substrates, TCR-alpha and CD3-delta. 相似文献

Salmonella translocate a group of type III effectors into the host cells to induce entry, promote survival and cause intestinal inflammation. Although the biochemical and cellular mechanisms of how bacterial effectors function inside host cells remain largely unknown, studies have indicated that a likely strategy is to exploit host cellular pathways through functional mimicry. We report here that SopA, a Salmonella type III effector, mimics the mammalian HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase. SopA preferentially uses the host UbcH5a, UbcH5c and UbcH7 as E2s, which are involved in inflammation. Both the wild-type SopA and the mutant SopAC753S were expressed and translocated at similar levels during the infection of HeLa cells. A Salmonella strain expressing a catalytically incompetent SopAC753S mutant had reduced Salmonella-induced polymorphonuclear leukocytes transepithelial migration. We speculate that SopA ubiquitinate bacterial/host proteins involved in Salmonella-induced intestinal inflammation. 相似文献

The ABC lipid transporters, ABCA1 and ABCG1, are essential for maintaining lipid homeostasis in cells such as macrophages by exporting excess cholesterol to extracellular acceptors. These transporters are highly regulated at the post-translational level, including protein ubiquitination. Our aim was to investigate the role of the E3 ubiquitin ligase HECTD1, recently identified as associated with ABCG1, on ABCG1 and ABCA1 protein levels and cholesterol export function. Here, we show that HECTD1 protein is widely expressed in a range of human and murine primary cells and cell lines, including macrophages, neuronal cells and insulin secreting β-cells. siRNA knockdown of HECTD1 unexpectedly decreased overexpressed ABCG1 protein levels and cell growth, but increased native ABCA1 protein in CHO-K1 cells. Knockdown of HECTD1 in unloaded THP-1 macrophages did not affect ABCG1 but significantly increased ABCA1 protein levels, in wild-type as well as THP-1 cells that do not express ABCG1. Cholesterol export from macrophages to apoA-I over time was increased after knockdown of HECTD1, however these effects were not sustained in cholesterol-loaded cells. In conclusion, we have identified a new candidate, the E3 ubiquitin ligase HECTD1, that may be involved in the regulation of ABCA1-mediated cholesterol export from unloaded macrophages to apoA-I. The exact mechanism by which this ligase affects this pathway remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

The poxvirus p28 virulence factor is an E3 ubiquitin ligase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Huang J Huang Q Zhou X Shen MM Yen A Yu SX Dong G Qu K Huang P Anderson EM Daniel-Issakani S Buller RM Payan DG Lu HH 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2004,279(52):54110-54116
A majority of the orthopoxviruses, including the variola virus that causes the dreaded smallpox disease, encode a highly conserved 28-kDa protein with a classic RING finger sequence motif (C(3)HC(4)) at their carboxyl-terminal domains. The RING domain of p28 has been shown to be a critical determinant of viral virulence for the ectromelia virus (mousepox virus) in a murine infection model (Senkevich, T. G., Koonin, E. V., and Buller, R. M. (1994) Virology 198, 118-128). Here, we demonstrate that the p28 proteins encoded by the ectromelia virus and the variola virus possess E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in biochemical assays as well as in cultured mammalian cells. Point mutations disrupting the RING finger domain of p28 completely abolish its E3 ligase activity. In addition, p28 functions cooperatively with Ubc4 and UbcH5c, the E2 conjugating enzymes involved in 26 S proteasome degradation of protein targets. Moreover, p28 catalyzes the formation of Lys-63-linked polyubiquitin chains in the presence of Ubc13/Uev1A, a heterodimeric E2 conjugating enzyme, indicating that p28 may regulate the biological activity of its cognate viral and/or host cell target(s) by Lys-63-linked ubiquitin multimers. We thus conclude that the poxvirus p28 virulence factor is a new member of the RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligase family and has a unique polyubiquitylation activity. We propose that the E3 ligase activity of the p28 virulence factor may be targeted for therapeutic intervention against infections by the variola virus and other poxviruses. 相似文献

Mitotic progression is regulated by ubiquitin E3 ligase complexes to carefully orchestrate eukaryotic cell division. Here, we show that a relatively new E3 ligase component belonging to the SCF (Skip-Cullin1-F-box protein) E3 ligase family, SCFFBXL2, impairs cell proliferation by mediating cyclin D3 polyubiquitination and degradation. Both cyclin D3 and FBXL2 colocalize within the centrosome. FBXL2 overexpression led to G2/M-phase arrest in transformed epithelia, resulting in the appearance of supernumerary centrosomes, tetraploidy and nuclei where condensed chromosomes are arranged on circular monopolar spindles typical of mitotic arrest. RNAi-mediated knockdown of cyclin D3 recapitulated effects of SCFFBXL2 expression. SCFFBXL2 impaired the ability of cyclin D3 to associate with centrosomal assembly proteins [Aurora A, polo-like kinase 4 (Plk4), CDK11]. Thus, these results suggest a role for SCFFBXL2 in regulating the fidelity of cellular division. 相似文献

It has previously been shown that E3 ubiquitin ligase Casitas B-lineage lymphoma-b (Cbl-b) negatively regulates T-cell activation, but the molecular mechanism(s) underlying this inhibition is not completely defined. In this study, we report that the loss of Cbl-b selectively results in aberrant activation of NF-kappaB upon T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) ligation, which is mediated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K)/Akt and protein kinase C-theta (PKC-theta). TCR-induced hyperactivation of Akt in the absence of Cbl-b may potentiate the formation of caspase recruitment domain-containing membrane-associated guanylate kinase protein 1 (CARMA1)-B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 10 (Bcl10)-mucosa-associated lymphatic tissue 1(MALT1) (CBM) complex, which appears to be independent of PKC-theta. Cbl-b associates with PKC-theta upon TCR stimulation and regulates TCR-induced PKC-theta activation via Vav-1, which couples PKC-theta to PI3-K and allows it to be phosphorylated. PKC-theta then couples IkappaB kinases (IKKs) to the CBM complex, resulting in the activation of the IKK complex. Therefore, our data provide the first evidence to demonstrate that the down-regulation of TCR-induced NF-kappaB activation by Cbl-b is mediated coordinately by both Akt-dependent and PKC-theta-dependent signaling pathways in primary T cells. 相似文献

In the present study, we report the identification and characterization of MEX (MEKK1-related protein X), a protein with homology to MEKK1 that is expressed uniquely in the testis. MEX is comprises four putative zinc-binding domains including an N-terminal SWIM (SWI2/SNF2 and MuDR) domain of unknown function and two RING (really interesting new gene) fingers separated by a ZZ zinc finger domain. Biochemical analyses revealed that MEX is self-ubiquitinated and targeted for degradation through the proteasome pathway. MEX can act as an E3, Ub (ubiquitin) ligase, through the E2, Ub-conjugating enzymes UbcH5a, UbcH5c or UbcH6. A region of MEX that contains the RING fingers and the ZZ zinc finger was required for interaction with UbcH5a and MEX self-association, whereas the SWIM domain was critical for MEX ubiquitination. The expression of MEX promoted apoptosis that was induced through Fas, DR (death receptor) 3 and DR4 signalling, but not that mediated by the BH3 (Bcl-2 homology 3)-only protein BimEL or the chemotherapeutic drug adriamycin. The enhancement of apoptosis by MEX required a functional SWIM domain, suggesting that MEX ubiquitination is critical for the enhancement of apoptosis. These results indicate that MEX acts as an E3 Ub ligase, an activity that is dependent on the SWIM domain and suggest a role for MEX in the regulation of death receptor-induced apoptosis in the testes. 相似文献

PINK1 kinase activates the E3 ubiquitin ligase Parkin to induce selective autophagy of damaged mitochondria. However, it has been unclear how PINK1 activates and recruits Parkin to mitochondria. Although PINK1 phosphorylates Parkin, other PINK1 substrates appear to activate Parkin, as the mutation of all serine and threonine residues conserved between Drosophila and human, including Parkin S65, did not wholly impair Parkin translocation to mitochondria. Using mass spectrometry, we discovered that endogenous PINK1 phosphorylated ubiquitin at serine 65, homologous to the site phosphorylated by PINK1 in Parkin’s ubiquitin-like domain. Recombinant TcPINK1 directly phosphorylated ubiquitin and phospho-ubiquitin activated Parkin E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in cell-free assays. In cells, the phosphomimetic ubiquitin mutant S65D bound and activated Parkin. Furthermore, expression of ubiquitin S65A, a mutant that cannot be phosphorylated by PINK1, inhibited Parkin translocation to damaged mitochondria. These results explain a feed-forward mechanism of PINK1-mediated initiation of Parkin E3 ligase activity. 相似文献

Ubiquitination is one of the most prevalent protein post-translational modifications in eukaryotes, and its malfunction is associated with a variety of human diseases. Despite the significance of this process, the molecular mechanisms that govern the regulation of ubiquitination remain largely unknown. Here we used a combination of yeast proteome chip assays, genetic screening, and in vitro/in vivo biochemical analyses to identify and characterize eight novel in vivo substrates of the ubiquitinating enzyme Rsp5, a homolog of the human ubiquitin-ligating enzyme Nedd4, in yeast. Our analysis of the effects of a deubiquitinating enzyme, Ubp2, demonstrated that an accumulation of Lys-63-linked polyubiquitin chains results in processed forms of two substrates, Sla1 and Ygr068c. Finally we showed that the localization of another newly identified substrate, Rnr2, is Rsp5-dependent. We believe that our approach constitutes a paradigm for the functional dissection of an enzyme with pleiotropic effects. 相似文献

Chaperone functions of the E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The carboxyl terminus of the Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP) is an Hsp70 co-chaperone as well as an E3 ubiquitin ligase that protects cells from proteotoxic stress. The abilities of CHIP to interact with Hsp70 and function as a ubiquitin ligase place CHIP at a pivotal position in the protein quality control system, where its entrance into Hsp70-substrate complexes partitions nonnative proteins toward degradation. However, the manner by which Hsp70 substrates are selected for ubiquitination by CHIP is not well understood. We discovered that CHIP possesses an intrinsic chaperone activity that enables it to selectively recognize and bind nonnative proteins. Interestingly, the chaperone function of CHIP is temperature-sensitive and is dramatically enhanced by heat stress. The ability of CHIP to recognize nonnative protein structure may aid in selection of slow folding or misfolded polypeptides for ubiquitination. 相似文献

Casitas B-lineage lymphoma proto-oncogene-b (Cbl-b), a RING finger E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase, has been demonstrated to play a crucial role in establishing the threshold for T-cell activation and controlling peripheral T-cell tolerance via multiple mechanisms. Accumulating evidence suggests that Cbl-b also regulates innate immune responses and plays an important role in host defense to pathogens. Understanding the signaling pathways regulated by Cbl-b in innate and adaptive immune cells is therefore essential for efficient manipulation of Cbl-b in emerging immunotherapies for human disorders such as autoimmune diseases, allergic inflammation, infections, and cancer. In this article, we review the latest developments in the molecular structural basis of Cbl-b function, the regulation of Cbl-b expression, the signaling mechanisms of Cbl-b in immune cells, as well as the biological function of Cbl-b in physiological and pathological immune responses in animal models and human diseases. 相似文献
