The anaphase-promoting complex: proteolysis in mitosis and beyond 总被引:15,自引:0,他引:15
Peters JM 《Molecular cell》2002,9(5):931-943
Key events in mitosis such as sister chromatid separation and subsequent inactivation of cyclin-dependent kinase 1 are regulated by ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis. These events are mediated by the anaphase-promoting complex (APC), a cell cycle-regulated ubiquitin ligase that assembles multiubiquitin chains on regulatory proteins such as securin and cyclins and thereby targets them for destruction by the 26S proteasome. 相似文献

The effect in reticulocyte lysates of proteins with blocked amino groups on the ATP-dependent degradation of casein and serum albumin was studied in order to assess the extent to which proteins with blocked and with free amino groups share common paths of proteolytic degradation. Completely acetylated or succinylated casein and acetylated or succinylated serum albumin (reduced and carboxymethylated), in addition to other amino-modified proteins, inhibited the ATP-dependent proteolysis of both casein and reduced carboxymethylated serum albumin. Inhibition of serum albumin degradation by acetylated serum albumin was competitive, whereas inhibition of casein degradation by acetylated casein was largely competitive with evidence of mixed kinetics. The different amino-blocked proteins studied, which were largely unfolded under assay conditions, were similarly effective as inhibitors on a weight basis, with Ki values in the range 0.2-0.6 mg/ml; there was no correlation between the ability of the blocked proteins to serve as proteolysis substrates and their effectiveness as inhibitors. Studies of the effects of acetylated proteins on the conjugation of ubiquitin to serum albumin and casein demonstrated that the acetylated proteins blocked formation of ubiquitin-albumin conjugates and of selected casein conjugates; the steady state concentration of selected conjugates of endogenous lysate proteins was increased in the presence of amino-blocked proteins. The results suggest that proteins with blocked amino groups, which cannot serve as substrates for ubiquitin conjugation, can compete for binding to those ubiquitin conjugation factors that recognize and ubiquitinate potential substrates of the ubiquitin pathway. The similar inhibitory properties of the different blocked proteins in turn suggest that a common factor in binding to these conjugation factors may be recognition of the polypeptide backbone. 相似文献

Ubiquitination is a versatile tool used by all eukaryotic organisms for controlling the stability, function, and intracellular localization of a multitude of proteins. I will attempt to bring together our recent data on the down-regulation of two yeast model proteins, the galactose transporter Gal2 and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, by ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis triggered by the addition of easily fermentable carbon sources. 相似文献

The ubiquitin ligase activity of the anaphase-promoting complex (APC)/cyclosome needs to be tightly regulated for proper cell cycle progression. Substrates are recruited to the APC by the Cdc20 and Cdh1 accessory proteins. The Cdh1-APC interaction is inhibited through phosphorylation of Cdh1 by Cdc28, the major cyclin-dependent protein kinase in budding yeast. More recently, Acm1 was reported to be a Cdh1-binding and -inhibitory protein in budding yeast. We found that although Acm1 is an unstable protein and contains the KEN-box and D-box motifs typically found in APC substrates, Acm1 itself is not an APC substrate. Rather, it uses these motifs to compete with substrates for Cdh1 binding, thereby inhibiting their recruitment to the APC. Mutation of these motifs prevented Acm1-Cdh1 binding in vivo and rendered Acm1 inactive both in vitro and in vivo. Acm1 stability was critically dependent on phosphorylation by Cdc28, as Acm1 was destabilized following inhibition of Cdc28, mutation of consensus Cdc28 phosphorylation sites in Acm1, or deletion of the Bmh1 and Bmh2 phosphoprotein-binding proteins. Thus, Cdc28 serves dual roles in inhibiting Cdh1-dependent APC activity during the cell cycle: stabilization of the Cdh1 inhibitor Acm1 and direct phosphorylation of Cdh1 to prevent its association with the APC. 相似文献

Emi1 inhibits the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) during S and G2 phase. Two papers by Guardavaccaro et al. and Margottin-Goguet et al. in the June issue of Developmental Cell now show that Emi1 degradation in early mitosis is mediated by beta-Trcp1, an adaptor protein that recruits proteins to the SCF ubiquitin ligase. 相似文献

Progression through mitosis requires the sequential ubiquitination of cell cycle regulators by the anaphase-promoting complex, resulting in their proteasomal degradation. Although several mechanisms contribute to APC/C regulation during mitosis, the APC/C is able to discriminate between its many substrates by exploiting differences in the processivity of ubiquitin chain assembly. Here, we discuss how the APC/C achieves processive ubiquitin chain formation to trigger the sequential degradation of cell cycle regulators during mitosis. 相似文献

By orchestrating the sequential degradation of a large number of cell cycle regulators, the ubiquitin ligase anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) is essential for proliferation in all eukaryotes. The correct timing of APC/C-dependent substrate degradation, a critical feature of progression through mitosis, was long known to be controlled by mechanisms targeting the core APC/C-machinery. Recent experiments, however have revealed an important contribution of substrate-specific regulation of the APC/C to achieve accurate cell division. In this perspective, we describe different mechanisms of substrate-specific APC/C-regulation and discuss their importance for cell division.Key words: ubiquitin, proteasome, anaphase-promoting complex, spindle assembly factors, degradation 相似文献

Proteolysis controls key transitions at several points in the cell cycle. In mitosis, the activation of a large ubiquitin-protein ligase, the anaphase-promoting complex (APC), is required for anaphase initiation and for exit from mitosis. We show that APC is under complex control by a network of regulatory factors, CDC20, CDH1 and MAD2. CDC20 and CDH1 are activators of APC; they bind directly to APC and activate its cyclin ubiquitination activity. CDC20 activates APC at the onset of anaphase in a destruction box (DB)-dependent manner, while CDH1 activates APC from late anaphase through G1 with apparently a much relaxed specificity for the DB. Therefore, CDC20 and CDH1 control both the temporal order of activation and the substrate specificity of APC, and hence regulate different events during mitosis and G1. Counteracting the effect of CDC20, the checkpoint protein MAD2 acts as an inhibitor of APC. When the spindle-assembly checkpoint is activated, MAD2 forms a ternary complex with CDC20 and APC to prevent activation of APC, and thereby arrests cells at prometaphase. Thus, a combination of positive and negative regulators establishes a regulatory circuit of APC, ensuring an ordered progression of events through cell division. 相似文献

Downregulation of ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis by eicosapentaenoic acid in acute starvation. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A number of acute wasting conditions are associated with an upregulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in skeletal muscle. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is effective in attenuating the increased protein catabolism in muscle in cancer cachexia, possibly due to inhibition of 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) formation. To determine if a similar pathway is involved in other catabolic conditions, the effect of EPA on muscle protein degradation and activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway has been determined during acute fasting in mice. When compared with a vehicle control group (olive oil) there was a significant decrease in proteolysis of the soleus muscles of mice treated with EPA after starvation for 24 h, together with an attenuation of the proteasome "chymotryptic-like" enzyme activity and the induction of the expression of the 20S proteasome alpha-subunits, the 19S regulator and p42, an ATPase subunit of the 19S regulator in gastrocnemius muscle, and the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2(14k). The effect was not shown with the related (n-3) fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or with linoleic acid. However, 2,3,5-trimethyl-6-(3-pyridylmethyl)1,4-benzoquinone (CV-6504), an inhibitor of 5-, 12- and 15-lipoxygenases also attenuated muscle protein catabolism, proteasome "chymotryptic-like" enzyme activity and expression of proteasome 20S alpha-subunits in soleus muscles from acute fasted mice. These results suggest that protein catabolism in starvation and cancer cachexia is mediated through a common pathway, which is inhibited by EPA and is likely to involve a lipoxygenase metabolite as a signal transducer. 相似文献

The anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) orchestrates progression through mitosis by decorating cell-cycle regulators with ubiquitin chains. To nucleate chains, the APC/C links ubiquitin to a lysine in substrates, but to elongate chains it modifies lysine residues in attached ubiquitin moieties. The mechanism enabling the APC/C, and ubiquitin ligases in general, to switch from lysine residues in substrates to specific ones in ubiquitin remains poorly understood. Here, we determine the topology and the mechanism of assembly for the ubiquitin chains mediating functions of the human APC/C. We find that the APC/C triggers substrate degradation by assembling K11-linked ubiquitin chains, the efficient formation of which depends on a surface of ubiquitin, the TEK-box. Strikingly, homologous TEK-boxes are found in APC/C substrates, where they facilitate chain nucleation. We propose that recognition of similar motifs in substrates and ubiquitin enables the APC/C to assemble ubiquitin chains with the specificity and efficiency required for tight cell-cycle control. 相似文献

The anaphase-promoting complex (APC) or cyclosome is a ubiquitin ligase that initiates anaphase and mitotic exit. APC activation is thought to depend on APC phosphorylation and Cdc20 binding. We have identified 43 phospho-sites on APC of which at least 34 are mitosis specific. Of these, 32 sites are clustered in parts of Apc1 and the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) subunits Cdc27, Cdc16, Cdc23 and Apc7. In vitro, at least 15 of the mitotic phospho-sites can be generated by cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (Cdk1), and 3 by Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1). APC phosphorylation by Cdk1, but not by Plk1, is sufficient for increased Cdc20 binding and APC activation. Immunofluorescence microscopy using phospho-antibodies indicates that APC phosphorylation is initiated in prophase during nuclear uptake of cyclin B1. In prometaphase phospho-APC accumulates on centrosomes where cyclin B ubiquitination is initiated, appears throughout the cytosol and disappears during mitotic exit. Plk1 depletion neither prevents APC phosphorylation nor cyclin A destruction in vivo. These observations imply that APC activation is initiated by Cdk1 already in the nuclei of late prophase cells. 相似文献

The anaphase-promoting complex (APC) is a cell cycle-regulated ubiquitin-protein ligase, composed of at least 11 subunits, that controls progression through mitosis and G1. Using cryo-electron microscopy and angular reconstitution, we have obtained a three-dimensional model of the human APC at a resolution of 24 A. The APC has a complex asymmetric structure 140 A x 140 A x 135 A in size, in which an outer protein wall surrounds a large inner cavity. We discuss the possibility that this cavity represents a reaction chamber in which ubiquitination reactions take place, analogous to the inner cavities formed by other protein machines such as the 26S proteasome and chaperone complexes. This cage hypothesis could help to explain the great subunit complexity of the APC. 相似文献

Inhibition of ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis by des-Gly-Gly-ubiquitin: implications for the mechanism of polyubiquitin synthesis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cleavage of the two carboxyl-terminal glycine residues from native ubiquitin yields the proteolysis-incompetent derivative des-Gly-Gly-ubiquitin. We report here that this derivative inhibits the ATP-dependent degradation of casein and is multi-ubiquitinated but not degraded by reticulocyte lysates. Inhibition of proteolysis diminished with increasing concentration of native ubiquitin, but was not reduced by increased casein concentration. Cleavage of the last four residues from ubiquitin yielded a derivative that was a weaker inhibitor of proteolysis and a poorer substrate for ubiquitination. These results suggest that the conjugation of ubiquitin to ubiquitin during polyubiquitin synthesis involves a specific conjugation system that recognizes ubiquitin and some of its derivatives, but not general proteolysis substrates, as ubiquitin acceptors. 相似文献

The COP9 complex (signalosome) is a known regulator of the proteasome/ubiquitin pathway. Furthermore it regulates the activity of the cullin-RING ligase (CRL) families of ubiquitin E3-complexes. Besides the CRL family, the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) is a major regulator of the cell cycle. To investigate a possible connection between both complexes we assessed interacting partners of COP9 using an in vivo protein-protein interaction assay. Hereby, we were able to show for the first time that CSN2, a subunit of the COP9 signalosome, interacts physically with APC/C. Furthermore, we detected a functional influence of the COP9 complex regarding the stability of several targets of the APC/C. Consistent with these data we showed a genetic instability of cells over-expressing CSN2. 相似文献

Degradation of specific protein substrates by the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC) is critical for mitotic exit. We have identified the protein Xenopus nuclear factor 7 (Xnf7) as a novel APC inhibitor able to regulate the timing of exit from mitosis. Immunodepletion of Xnf7 from Xenopus laevis egg extracts accelerated the degradation of APC substrates cyclin B1, cyclin B2, and securin upon release from cytostatic factor arrest, whereas excess Xnf7 inhibited APC activity. Interestingly, Xnf7 exhibited intrinsic ubiquitin ligase activity, and this activity was required for APC inhibition. Unlike other reported APC inhibitors, Xnf7 did not associate with Cdc20, but rather bound directly to core subunits of the APC. Furthermore, Xnf7 was required for spindle assembly checkpoint function in egg extracts. These data suggest that Xnf7 is an APC inhibitor able to link spindle status to the APC through direct association with APC core components. 相似文献

The anaphase-promoting complex (APC) is a multisubunit E3 ubiquitin ligase that targets specific cell cycle-related proteins for degradation, regulating progression from metaphase to anaphase and exit from mitosis. The APC is regulated by binding of the coactivator proteins Cdc20p and Cdh1p, and by phosphorylation. We have developed a purification strategy that allowed us to purify the budding yeast APC to near homogeneity and identify two novel APC-associated proteins, Swm1p and Mnd2p. Using an in vitro ubiquitylation system and a native gel binding assay, we have characterized the properties of wild-type and mutant APC. We show that both the D and KEN boxes contribute to substrate recognition and that coactivator is required for substrate binding. APC lacking Apc9p or Doc1p/Apc10 have impaired E3 ligase activities. However, whereas Apc9p is required for structural stability and the incorporation of Cdc27p into the APC complex, Doc1p/Apc10 plays a specific role in substrate recognition by APC-coactivator complexes. These results imply that Doc1p/Apc10 may play a role to regulate the binding of specific substrates, similar to that of the coactivators. 相似文献
