Conserved function of RNF4 family proteins in eukaryotes: targeting a ubiquitin ligase to SUMOylated proteins 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The function of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-binding proteins is key to understanding how SUMOylation regulates cellular processes. We identified two related Schizosaccharomyces pombe proteins, Rfp1 and Rfp2, each having an N-terminal SUMO-interacting motif (SIM) and a C-terminal RING-finger domain. Genetic analysis shows that Rfp1 and Rfp2 have redundant functions; together, they are essential for cell growth and genome stability. Mammalian RNF4, an active ubiquitin E3 ligase, is an orthologue of Rfp1/Rfp2. Rfp1 and Rfp2 lack E3 activity but recruit Slx8, an active RING-finger ubiquitin ligase, through a RING-RING interaction, to form a functional E3. RNF4 complements the growth and genomic stability defects of rfp1rfp2, slx8, and rfp1rfp2slx8 mutant cells. Both the Rfp-Slx8 complex and RNF4 specifically ubiquitylate artificial SUMO-containing substrates in vitro in a SUMO binding-dependent manner. SUMOylated proteins accumulate in rfp1rfp2 double-null cells, suggesting that Rfp/Slx8 proteins may promote ubiquitin-dependent degradation of SUMOylated targets. Hence, we describe a family of SIM-containing RING-finger proteins that potentially regulates eukaryotic genome stability through linking SUMO-interaction with ubiquitin conjugation. 相似文献

Ubiquitin signals emanating from DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) trigger the ordered assembly of DNA damage mediator and repair proteins. This highly orchestrated process is accomplished, in part, through the concerted action of the RNF8 and RNF168 E3 ligases, which have emerged as core signaling intermediates that promote DSB-associated ubiquitylation events. In this study, we report the identification of RNF169 as a negative regulator of the DNA damage signaling cascade. We found that RNF169 interacted with ubiquitin structures and relocalized to DSBs in an RNF8/RNF168-dependent manner. Moreover, ectopic expression of RNF169 attenuated ubiquitin signaling and compromised 53BP1 accumulation at DNA damage sites, suggesting that RNF169 antagonizes RNF168 functions at DSBs. Our study unveils RNF169 as a component in DNA damage signal transduction and adds to the complexity of regulatory ubiquitylation in genome stability maintenance. 相似文献

The accurate division of duplicated DNA is essential for maintenance of genomic stability in proliferating eukaryotic cells. Errors in DNA replication and chromosomal segregation may lead to cell death or genomic mutations that lead to oncogenic properties. Thus, tight regulation of DNA replication and mitosis is essential for maintaining genomic integrity. Cell division cycle 6 (Cdc6) is an essential factor for initiating DNA replication. Recent work shows that phosphorylation of Cdc6 by pololike kinase 1 (Plk1), one of the essential mitotic kinases, regulates mitotic exit mediated by Cdk1 and separase. Here we discuss how pre-replicative complex factors are connected with Plk1 and affect mitotic exit.Key words: Plk1, Cdc6, DNA replication, mitotic exit, chromosomal segregation 相似文献

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are highly cytolethal DNA lesions. In response to DSBs, cells initiate a complex response that minimizes their deleterious impact on cellular and organismal physiology. In this review, we discuss the discovery of a regulatory ubiquitylation system that modifies the chromatin that surrounds DNA lesions. This pathway is under the control of RNF8 and RNF168, two E3 ubiquitin ligases that cooperate with UBC13 to promote the relocalization of 53BP1 and BRCA1 to sites of DNA damage. RNF8 and RNF168 orchestrate the recruitment of DNA damage response proteins by catalyzing the ubiquitylation of H2A-type histones and the formation of K63-linked ubiquitin chains on damaged chromatin. Finally, we identify some unresolved issues raised by the discovery of this pathway and discuss the implications of DNA damage-induced ubiquitylation in human disease and development. 相似文献

RINT1 was first identified as an RAD50-interacting protein and its function was therefore linked to the maintenance of genomic stability. It was also shown that RINT1 was a key player in ER-Golgi trafficking as a member of an ER tethering complex interacting with STX18. However, due to early embryonic lethality of rint1-null mice, the in vivo functions of RINT1 remained for the most part elusive. We recently described the consequences of Rint1 inactivation in various neuronal cells of the central nervous system. We observed that lack of RINT1 in vivo triggers genomic instability and ER stress leading to depletion of the neural progenitor pool and neurodegeneration. Surprisingly, we also observed inhibition of autophagy in RINT1-deficient neurons, indicating an involvement of RINT1 in the regulation of neuronal autophagy. Here, we summarize our main RINT1 findings and discuss its putative roles in autophagy. 相似文献

Timely repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) is essential to maintaining genomic integrity and preventing illnesses induced by genetic abnormalities. We previously demonstrated that the E3 ubiquitin ligase SMURF2 plays a critical tumor suppressing role via its interaction with RNF20 (ring finger protein 20) in shaping chromatin landscape and preserving genomic stability. However, the mechanism that mobilizes SMURF2 in response to DNA damage remains unclear. Using biochemical approaches and MS analysis, we show that upon the onset of the DNA-damage response, SMURF2 becomes phosphorylated at Ser384 by ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) serine/threonine kinase, and this phosphorylation is required for its interaction with RNF20. We demonstrate that a SMURF2 mutant with an S384A substitution has reduced capacity to ubiquitinate RNF20 while promoting Smad3 ubiquitination unabatedly. More importantly, mouse embryonic fibroblasts expressing the SMURF2 S384A mutant show a weakened ability to sustain the DSB response compared with those expressing WT SMURF2 following etoposide treatment. These data indicate that SMURF2-mediated RNF20 ubiquitination and degradation controlled by ataxia telangiectasia mutated–induced phosphorylation at Ser384 constitutes a negative feedback loop that regulates DSB repair. 相似文献

Covalent modifications by Small Ubiquitin‐like MOdifier (SUMO) and ubiquitin conjugation are now recognized as independent posttranslational modifications (PTMs) employed by cells to reversibly regulate cellular signaling. SUMOylation in particular has emerged as a crucial cellular mechanism involved in multiple pathologies, including cancers, cardiovascular diseases, immunological and neurological disorders, as well as aging. Convergence of these two PTMs result in the ubiquitination of SUMOylated proteins, adding complexity in the modulation of protein functions. The SUMO‐Targeted Ubiquitin Ligases (STUbL) mediate this process, and RNF4, the mammalian STUbL, has been at the forefront in the understanding of this phenomenon. It has been shown to play important roles in a variety of cellular events, ranging from the maintenance of genomic integrity and hence, oncogenesis, to a role in development. Recent identification of direct and indirect RNF4 targets has revealed that the SUMOylation machinery is in itself targeted by RNF4, highlighting the complex nature of the signaling circuitry tightly regulating these processes. This review will touch upon both SUMOylation and ubiquitination, and will focus on how RNF4, which is at the heart of both these PTMs, modulates cellular signaling and promotes protein degradation. Moreover, the potential of therapeutically targeting RNF4 to improve cancer treatment is also explored. 相似文献

The loss of genome stability is an early event that drives the development and progression of virtually all tumor types. Recent studies have revealed that certain histone post-translational modifications exhibit dynamic and global increases in abundance that coincide with mitosis and exhibit essential roles in maintaining genomic stability. Histone H2B ubiquitination at lysine 120 (H2Bub1) is regulated by RNF20, an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is altered in many tumor types. Through an evolutionarily conserved trans-histone pathway, H2Bub1 is an essential prerequisite for subsequent downstream dimethylation events at lysines 4 (H3K4me2) and 79 (H3K79me2) of histone H3. Although the role that RNF20 plays in tumorigenesis has garnered much attention, the downstream components of the trans-histone pathway, H3K4me2 and H3K79me2, and their potential contributions to genome stability remain largely overlooked. In this study, we employ single-cell imaging and biochemical approaches to investigate the spatial and temporal patterning of RNF20, H2Bub1, H3K4me2, and H3K79me2 throughout the cell cycle, with a particular focus on mitosis. We show that H2Bub1, H3K4me2, and H3K79me2 exhibit distinct temporal progression patterns throughout the cell cycle. Most notably, we demonstrate that H3K79me2 is a highly dynamic histone post-translational modification that reaches maximal abundance during mitosis in an H2Bub1-independent manner. Using RNAi and chemical genetic approaches, we identify DOT1L as a histone methyltransferase required for the mitotic-associated increases in H3K79me2. We also demonstrate that the loss of mitotic H3K79me2 levels correlates with increases in chromosome numbers and increases in mitotic defects. Collectively, these data suggest that H3K79me2 dynamics during mitosis are normally required to maintain genome stability and further implicate the loss of H3K79me2 during mitosis as a pathogenic event that contributes to the development and progression of tumors. 相似文献

Timely and proper cellular response to DNA damage is essential for maintenance of genome stability and integrity. B-cell lymphoma/leukemia 10 (BCL10) facilitates ubiquitination of NEMO in the cytosol, activating NFκB signaling. Translocation and/or point mutations of BCL10 associate with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas and other malignancies. However, the mechanisms by which the resulting aberrant expression of BCL10 leads to cellular oncogenesis are poorly understood. In this report, we found that BCL10 in the nucleus is enriched at the DNA damage sites in an ATM- and RNF8-dependent manner. ATM-dependent phosphorylation of BCL10 promotes its interaction with and presentation of UBC13 to RNF8, and RNF8-mediated ubiquitination of BCL10 enhances binding of BCL10 and UBC13 to RNF168. This allows mono-ubiquitination on H2AX by RNF168 and further poly-ubiquitination by the RNF8/RNF168-containing complex. Depletion of BCL10 compromised homology recombination-mediated DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair because of insufficient recruitment of BRCA1, RAD51, and the ubiquitinated DNA damage response factors. Taken together, our results demonstrate a novel function of BCL10 in delivering UBC13 to RNF8/RNF168 to regulate ubiquitination-mediated DSB signaling and repair. 相似文献

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are extremely cytotoxic lesions with a single unrepaired DSB being sufficient to induce cell death. A complex signaling cascade, termed the DNA damage response (DDR), is in place to deal with such DNA lesions and maintain genome stability. Recent work by us and others has found that the signaling cascade activated by DSBs in mitosis is truncated, displaying apical, but not downstream, components of the DDR. The E3 Ubiquitin ligases RNF8, RNF168 and BRCA1, along with the DDR mediator 53BP1, are not recruited to DSB sites in mitosis, and activation of downstream checkpoint kinases is also impaired. Here, we show that RNF8 and RNF168 are recruited to DNA damage foci in late mitosis, presumably to prime sites for 53BP1 recruitment in early G1. Interestingly, we show that, although RNF8, RNF168 and 53BP1 are excluded from DSB sites during most of mitosis, they associate with mitotic structures such as the kinetochore, suggesting roles for these DDR factors during mitotic cell division. We discuss these and other recent findings and suggest how these novel data collectively contribute to our understanding of mitosis and how cells deal with DNA damage during this crucial cell cycle stage.Key words: mitosis, DNA damage response, DNA double-strand breaks, signaling cascade, chromatin 相似文献

DNA damage response mechanisms encompass pathways of DNA repair, cell cycle checkpoint arrest and apoptosis. Together, these mechanisms function to maintain genomic stability in the face of exogenous and endogenous DNA damage. ATM is activated in response to double strand breaks and initiates cell cycle checkpoint arrest. Recent studies in human fibroblasts have shown that ATM also regulates a mechanism of end-processing that is required for a component of double strand break repair. Human fibroblasts rarely undergo apoptosis after ionising radiation and, therefore, apoptosis is not considered in our review. The dual function of ATM raises the question as to how the two processes, DNA repair and checkpoint arrest, interplay to maintain genomic stability. In this review, we consider the impact of ATM's repair and checkpoint functions to the maintenance of genomic stability following irradiation in G2. We discuss evidence that ATM's repair function plays little role in the maintenance of genomic stability following exposure to ionising radiation. ATM's checkpoint function has a bigger impact on genomic stability but strikingly the two damage response pathways co-operate in a more than additive manner. In contrast, ATM's repair function is important for survival post irradiation. 相似文献

AbstractCancer is distinguished by uncontrolled cell growth and it is regulated by several environmental and genetic factors. The Wnt β-Catenin signaling pathway has been considered as the most significant colon cancer-targeted pathway. AXIN plays a major regulatory role in the Wnt signaling mechanism. The AXIN after PARsylated by TNKS is ubiqutinated by RNF146 through its WWE domain that leads to degradation of AXIN protein. Several studies have been proposed highlighting the inhibition of the PARsylation mechanism that mediates the degradation of AXIN and improves β-catenin stability. The present study focused on the identification of potential inhibitors for the inhibition of RNF146-TNKS complex through identifying potential RNF146 inhibitors to prevent ubiquitination of AXIN, further to confirm the regulatory role and inhibition mechanism of RNF146-AXIN and RNF146-TNKS. The docked complex was then evaluated using various computational analysis. Molecular interactions analysis was performed to observe the interacting residues between the protein complex. The compounds from various databases were docked with the RNF146 and complex proteins. Both the protein complex and ligand were analyzed for the confirmation of structural stability using molecular dynamics simulations. Selected compounds’ atomic configuration and electron profile were analyzed through DFT calculations and ADME/T (Physico-chemical) properties. As a result, we found several common lead compounds for RNF146, TNKS protein inhibition. Therefore, the docked compounds may act as a better antagonist molecule for RNF146, TNKS and associated signaling molecules. Further, experimental validations are required to prove the potency of the identified compounds.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma 相似文献

In addition to allelic mutations, cancers are known to harbor alterations in their chromatin landscape. Here we show that genomic ablation of Smad ubiquitin regulatory factor 2 (Smurf2), a HECT-domain E3 ubiquitin ligase, results in dysregulation of both the DNA damage response and genomic stability, culminating in increased susceptibility to various types of cancers in aged mice. We show that Smurf2 regulates the monoubiquitination of histone H2B as well as the trimethylation of histone H3 at Lys4 and Lys79 by targeting ring finger protein 20 (RNF20) for proteasomal degradation in both mouse and human cells. We also show that Smurf2 and RNF20 are colocalized at the γ-H2AX foci of double-stranded DNA breaks in the nucleus. Thus, Smurf2 has a tumor suppression function that normally maintains genomic stability by controlling the epigenetic landscape of histone modifications through RNF20. 相似文献
