Rad23 contains a ubiquitin-like domain (UbL(R23)) that interacts with catalytically active proteasomes and two ubiquitin (Ub)-associated (UBA) sequences that bind Ub. The UBA domains can bind Ub in vitro, although the significance of this interaction in vivo is poorly understood. Rad23 can interfere with the assembly of multi-Ub chains in vitro, and high-level expression caused stabilization of proteolytic substrates in vivo. We report here that Rad23 interacts with ubiquitinated cellular proteins through the synergistic action of its UBA domains. Rad23 plays an overlapping role with Rpn10, a proteasome-associated multi-Ub chain binding protein. Mutations in the UBA domains prevent efficient interaction with ubiquitinated proteins and result in poor suppression of the growth and proteolytic defects of a rad23 Delta rpn10 Delta mutant. High-level expression of Rad23 revealed, for the first time, an interaction between ubiquitinated proteins and the proteasome. This increase was not observed in rpn10 Delta mutants, suggesting that Rpn10 participates in the recognition of proteolytic substrates that are delivered by Rad23. Overexpression of UbL(R23) caused stabilization of a model substrate, indicating that an unregulated UbL(R23)-proteasome interaction can interfere with the efficient delivery of proteolytic substrates by Rad23. Because the suppression of a rad23 Delta rpn10 Delta mutant phenotype required both UbL(R23) and UBA domains, our findings support the hypothesis that Rad23 encodes a novel regulatory factor that translocates ubiquitinated substrates to the proteasome.  相似文献

hHR23B is the human homologue of the yeast protein RAD23 and is known to participate in DNA repair by stabilizing xeroderma pigmentosum group C protein. However, hHR23B and RAD23 also have many important functions related to general proteolysis. hHR23B consists of N-terminal ubiquitin-like (UbL), ubiquitin association 1 (UBA1), xeroderma pigmentosum group C binding, and UBA2 domains. The UBA domains interact with ubiquitin (Ub) and inhibit the assembly of polyubiquitin. On the other hand, the UbL domain interacts with the poly-Ub binding site 2 (PUbS2) domain of the S5a protein, which can carry polyubiquitinated substrates into the proteasome. We calculated the NMR structure of the UbL domain of hHR23B and determined binding surfaces of UbL and Ub to UBA1, UBA2, of hHR23B and PUbS2 of S5a by using chemical shift perturbation. Interestingly, the surfaces of UbL and Ub that bind to UBA1, UBA2, and PUbS2 are similar, consisting of five beta-strands and their connecting loops. This is the first report that an intramolecular interaction between UbL and UBA domains is possible, and this interaction could be important for the control of proteolysis by hHR23B. The binding specificities of UbL and Ub for PUbS1, PUbS2, and general ubiquitin-interacting motifs, which share the LALA motif, were evaluated. The UBA domains bind to the surface of Ub including Lys-48, which is required for multiubiquitin assembly, possibly explaining the observed inhibition of multiubiquitination by hHR23B. The UBA domains bind to UbL through electrostatic interactions supported by hydrophobic interactions and to Ub mainly through hydrophobic interactions supported by electrostatic interactions.  相似文献

E1 ubiquitin activating enzyme catalyzes the initial step in all ubiquitin-dependent processes. We report the isolation of uba1-204, a temperature-sensitive allele of the essential Saccharomyces cerevisiae E1 gene, UBA1. Uba1-204 cells exhibit dramatic inhibition of the ubiquitin-proteasome system, resulting in rapid depletion of cellular ubiquitin conjugates and stabilization of multiple substrates. We have employed the tight phenotype of this mutant to investigate the role ubiquitin conjugates play in the dynamic interaction of the UbL/UBA adaptor proteins Rad23 and Dsk2 with the proteasome. Although proteasomes purified from mutant cells are intact and proteolytically active, they are depleted of ubiquitin conjugates, Rad23, and Dsk2. Binding of Rad23 to these proteasomes in vitro is enhanced by addition of either free or substrate-linked ubiquitin chains. Moreover, association of Rad23 with proteasomes in mutant and wild-type cells is improved upon stabilizing ubiquitin conjugates with proteasome inhibitor. We propose that recognition of polyubiquitin chains by Rad23 promotes its shuttling to the proteasome in vivo.  相似文献

The ataxin-1 interacting ubiquitin-like protein (A1Up) contains an amino-terminal ubiquitin-like (UbL) region, four stress-inducible, heat shock chaperonin-binding motifs (STI1), and an ubiquitin-associated domain (UBA) at the carboxyl terminus of A1Up. Although proteins that have both an UbL and UBA domain are thought to play a crucial role in proteasome-mediated activities, few are characterized, except for hHR23A/B. Similar to other UbL-containing proteins, the UbL of A1Up is essential for the interaction of A1Up with the S5a subunit of the 19S proteasome. Importantly, the interaction with the 19S proteasome was disrupted in the presence of the polyglutamine repeat protein, ataxin-1. The UbL domain of A1Up is ubiquitinated by both Lys(48)-linked and Lys(63)-linked chains. Intact A1Up is stable, suggesting that ubiquitination of A1Up is important for degradation-independent targeting of A1Up to the 19S proteasome. The UBA domain of A1Up binds polyubiquitin chains and has a role in the stability of A1Up and in the subcellular localization of A1Up. When the UBA domain was deleted, the localization of A1Up was entirely cytoplasmic, and it co-localized with the proteasome. Interestingly, the interaction between A1Up and mutant ataxin-1-(82Q) increased the half-life of A1Up, whereas nonpathogenic wild-type ataxin-1-(30Q) or ataxin-1-(82Q)-A776 did not.  相似文献

The budding yeast UbL-UBA protein Dsk2 has a UbL domain at its N-terminus and a UBA domain at its C-terminus, and thus functions as a shuttle protein in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In this report we describe two isoforms of Xenopus Dsk2-related protein, XDRP1L and XDRP1S. Difference of the two proteins in sequence was that the UbL domain of XDRP1S lacks 15 residues in the middle part of that of XDRP1L. Both XDRP1L and XDRP1S were expressed in Xenopus eggs. XDRP1L and XDRP1S bound to polyubiquitinated proteins via their UBA domains. XDRP1L also bound to the proteasome via its UbL domain, whereas the XDRP1S UbL domain was less likely to bind to the proteasome. Instead, XDRP1S not XDRP1L bound to monomeric cyclin A and prevented its degradation. The existence of such Dsk2-isoforms in Xenopus eggs suggests that the shuttling function via the UbL-UBA protein Dsk2 is evolutionally conserved across species.  相似文献

Rad23 was identified as a DNA repair protein, although a role in protein degradation has been described. The protein degradation function of Rad23 contributes to cell cycle progression, stress response, endoplasmic reticulum proteolysis, and DNA repair. Rad23 binds the proteasome through a UbL (ubiquitin-like) domain and contains UBA (ubiquitin-associated) motifs that bind multiubiquitin chains. These domains allow Rad23 to function as a substrate shuttle-factor. This property is shared by structurally similar proteins (Dsk2 and Ddi1) and is conserved among the human and mouse counterparts of Rad23. Despite much effort, the regulation of Rad23 interactions with ubiquitinated substrates and the proteasome is unknown. We report here that Rad23 is extensively phosphorylated in vivo and in vitro. Serine residues in UbL are phosphorylated and influence Rad23 interaction with proteasomes. Replacement of these serine residues with acidic residues, to mimic phosphorylation, reduced proteasome binding. We reported that when UbL is overexpressed, it can compete with Rad23 for proteasome interaction and can inhibit substrate turnover. This effect is not observed with UbL containing acidic substitutions, consistent with results that phosphorylation inhibits interaction with the proteasome. Loss of both Rad23 and Rpn10 caused pleiotropic defects that were suppressed by overexpressing either Rad23 or Rpn10. Rad23 bearing a UbL domain with acidic substitutions failed to suppress rad23Δ rpn10Δ, confirming the importance of regulated Rad23/proteasome binding. Strikingly, threonine 75 in human HR23B also regulates interaction with the proteasome, suggesting that phosphorylation is a conserved mechanism for controlling Rad23/proteasome interaction.  相似文献

Although functional diversity in polyubiquitin chain signaling has been ascribed to the ability of differently linked chains to bind in a distinctive manner to effector proteins, structural models of such interactions have been lacking. Here, we use NMR to unveil the structural basis of selective recognition of Lys48-linked di- and tetraubiquitin chains by the UBA2 domain of hHR23A. Although the interaction of UBA2 with Lys48-linked diubiquitin involves the same hydrophobic surface on each ubiquitin unit as that utilized in monoubiquitin:UBA complexes, our results show how the "closed" conformation of Lys48-linked diubiquitin is crucial for high-affinity binding. Moreover, recognition of Lys48-linked diubiquitin involves a unique epitope on UBA, which allows the formation of a sandwich-like diubiqutin:UBA complex. Studies of the UBA-tetraubiquitin interaction suggest that this mode of UBA binding to diubiquitin is relevant for longer chains.  相似文献

Ubiquilin/PLIC proteins belong to the family of UBL-UBA proteins implicated in the regulation of the ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation of cellular proteins. A human presenilin-interacting protein, ubiquilin-1, has been suggested as potential therapeutic target for treating Huntington's disease. Ubiquilin's interactions with mono- and polyubiquitins are mediated by its UBA domain, which is one of the tightest ubiquitin binders among known ubiquitin-binding domains. Here we report the three-dimensional structure of the UBA domain of ubiquilin-1 (UQ1-UBA) free in solution and in complex with ubiquitin. UQ1-UBA forms a compact three-helix bundle structurally similar to other known UBAs, and binds to the hydrophobic patch on ubiquitin with a Kd of 20 μM. To gain structural insights into UQ1-UBA's interactions with polyubiquitin chains, we have mapped the binding interface between UQ1-UBA and Lys48- and Lys63-linked di-ubiquitins and characterized the strength of UQ1-UBA binding to these chains. Our NMR data show that UQ1-UBA interacts with the individual ubiquitin units in both chains in a mode similar to its interaction with mono-ubiquitin, although with an improved binding affinity for the chains. Our results indicate that, in contrast to UBA2 of hHR23A that has strong binding preference for Lys48-linked chains, UQ1-UBA shows little or no binding selectivity toward a particular chain linkage or between the two ubiquitin moieties in the same chain. The structural data obtained in this study provide insights into the possible structural reasons for the diversity of polyubiquitin chain recognition by UBA domains.  相似文献

Ubiquitin-like (UBL)-ubiquitin-associated (UBA) proteins such as Rad23 and Dsk2 mediate the delivery of polyubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. We show here that budding yeast peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase 2 (Pth2), which was previously recognized as a peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase, is a UBL domain-binding protein that participates in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Pth2 bound to the UBL domain of both Rad23 and Dsk2. Pth2 also interacted with polyubiquitinated proteins through the UBA domains of Rad23 and Dsk2. Pth2 overexpression caused an accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins and inhibited the growth of yeast. Ubiquitin-dependent degradation was accelerated in the pth2Delta mutant and was retarded by overexpression of Pth2. Pth2 inhibited the interaction of Rad23 and Dsk2 with the polyubiquitin receptors Rpn1 and Rpn10 on the proteasome. Furthermore, Pth2 function involving UBL-UBA proteins was independent of its peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase activity. These results suggest that Pth2 negatively regulates the UBL-UBA protein-mediated shuttling pathway in the ubiquitin-proteasome system.  相似文献

The UBA domain is a motif found in a variety of proteins, some of which are associated with the ubiquitin-proteasome system. We describe the isolation of a fission-yeast gene, mud1+, which encodes a UBA domain containing protein that is able to bind multi-ubiquitin chains. We show that the UBA domain is responsible for this activity. Two other proteins containing this motif, the fission-yeast homologues of Rad23 and Dsk2, are also shown to bind multi-ubiquitin chains via their UBA domains. These two proteins are implicated, along with the fission-yeast Pus1(S5a/Rpn10) subunit of the 26 S proteasome, in the recognition and turnover of substrates by this proteolytic complex.  相似文献

Rad23 is a DNA repair protein that promotes the assembly of the nucleotide excision repair complex. Rad23 can interact with the 26S proteasome through an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain, and inhibits the assembly of substrate-linked multi-ubiquitin (multi-Ub) chains in vitro and in vivo. Significantly, Rad23 can bind a proteolytic substrate that is conjugated to a few ubiquitin (Ub) moieties. We report here that two ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains in Rad23 form non-covalent interactions with Ub. A mutant that lacked either UBA sequence was capable of blocking the assembly of substrate-linked multi-Ub chains, although a mutant that lacked both UBA domains was significantly impaired. These studies suggest that the interaction with Ub is required for Rad23 activity, and that other UBA-containing proteins may have a similar function.  相似文献

Recruitment of substrates to the 26S proteasome usually requires covalent attachment of the Lys48‐linked polyubiquitin chain. In contrast, modifications with the Lys63‐linked polyubiquitin chain and/or monomeric ubiquitin are generally thought to function in proteasome‐independent cellular processes. Nevertheless, the ubiquitin chain‐type specificity for the proteasomal targeting is still poorly understood, especially in vivo. Using mass spectrometry, we found that Rsp5, a ubiquitin‐ligase in budding yeast, catalyzes the formation of Lys63‐linked ubiquitin chains in vitro. Interestingly, the 26S proteasome degraded well the Lys63‐linked ubiquitinated substrate in vitro. To examine whether Lys63‐linked ubiquitination serves in degradation in vivo, we investigated the ubiquitination of Mga2‐p120, a substrate of Rsp5. The polyubiquitinated p120 contained relatively high levels of Lys63‐linkages, and the Lys63‐linked chains were sufficient for the proteasome‐binding and subsequent p120‐processing. In addition, Lys63‐linked chains as well as Lys48‐linked chains were detected in the 26S proteasome‐bound polyubiquitinated proteins. These results raise the possibility that Lys63‐linked ubiquitin chain also serves as a targeting signal for the 26S proteaseome in vivo.  相似文献

Ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains are small protein domains that occur in the context of larger proteins and are likely to function as inter- and intramolecular communication elements in ubiquitin/polyubiquitin signaling. Although monoubiquitin/UBA complexes are well characterized, much less is known about UBA/polyubiquitin complexes, even though polyubiquitin chains are believed to be biologically relevant ligands of many UBA domain proteins. Here, we report the results of a quantitative study of the interaction of K48-linked polyubiquitin chains with UBA domains of the DNA repair/proteolysis protein HHR23A, using surface plasmon resonance and other approaches. We present evidence that the UBL domain of HHR23A negatively regulates polyubiquitin/UBA interactions and identify leucine 8 of ubiquitin as an important determinant of chain recognition. A striking relationship between binding affinity and chain length suggests that maximum affinity is associated with a conformational feature that is fully formed in chains of n = 4-6 and can be recognized by a single UBA domain of HHR23A. Our findings provide new insights into polyubiquitin chain recognition and set the stage for future structural investigations of UBA/polyubiquitin complexes.  相似文献

The ubiquitin-proteasome system is essential for maintaining a functional cell. Not only does it remove incorrectly folded proteins, it also regulates protein levels to ensure their appropriate spatial and temporal distribution. Proteins marked for degradation by the addition of Lys48-linked ubiquitin (Ub) chains are recognized by shuttle factors and transported to the 26 S proteasome. One of these shuttle factors, Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rhp23, has an unusual domain architecture. It comprises an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain that can recognize the proteasome followed by two ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains, termed UBA1 and UBA2, which can bind Ub. This architecture is conserved up to humans, suggesting that both domains are important for Rhp23 function. Such an extent of conservation raises the question as to why, in contrast to all other shuttle proteins, does Rhp23 require two UBA domains? We performed in vitro Ub binding assays using domain swap chimeric proteins and mutated domains in isolation as well as in the context of the full-length protein to reveal that the Ub binding properties of the UBA domains are context-dependent. In vivo, the internal Rhp23 UBA1 domain provides sufficient Ub recognition for the protein to function without UBA2.  相似文献

Although cellular proteins conjugated to K48‐linked Ub chains are targeted to proteasomes, proteins conjugated to K63‐ubiquitin chains are directed to lysosomes. However, pure 26S proteasomes bind and degrade K48‐ and K63‐ubiquitinated substrates similarly. Therefore, we investigated why K63‐ubiquitinated proteins are not degraded by proteasomes. We show that mammalian cells contain soluble factors that selectively bind to K63 chains and inhibit or prevent their association with proteasomes. Using ubiquitinated proteins as affinity ligands, we found that the main cellular proteins that associate selectively with K63 chains and block their binding to proteasomes are ESCRT0 (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport) and its components, STAM and Hrs. In vivo, knockdown of ESCRT0 confirmed that it is required to block binding of K63‐ubiquitinated molecules to the proteasome. In addition, the Rad23 proteins, especially hHR23B, were found to bind specifically to K48‐ubiquitinated proteins and to stimulate proteasome binding. The specificities of these proteins for K48‐ or K63‐ubiquitin chains determine whether a ubiquitinated protein is targeted for proteasomal degradation or delivered instead to the endosomal‐lysosomal pathway.  相似文献

Ubiquitin receptor proteins play an important role in delivering ubiquitylated protein substrates to the proteasome for degradation. HHR23a and hPLIC2 are two such ubiquitin receptors that contain ubiquitin-like (UBL) domains, which interact with the proteasome, and ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains, which interact with ubiquitin. Depending on their abundance UBL/UBA family members can either promote or inhibit the degradation of other proteins, which suggests their participation in the delivery of substrates to the proteasome is highly regulated. In previous work, we determined UBL/UBA domain interactions to promote intramolecular interactions in hHR23a that are abrogated with the addition of either ubiquitin or the proteasome component S5a. In yeast, we determined the hHR23a ortholog (Rad23) to interact with another UBL/UBA family member (Ddi1) and to bind a common tetraubiquitin chain. Here, we use NMR spectroscopy to reveal that hHR23a interacts with hPLIC2 via UBL/UBA domain interactions and to map their binding surfaces. In addition, we demonstrate that these two proteins associate in mammalian cells. Intriguingly, inhibition of the proteasome mitigates hHR23a/hPLIC2 interaction.  相似文献

Budding yeast Dsk2 is a family of UbL-UBA proteins that can interact with both polyubiquitin and the proteasome, and is thereby thought to function as a shuttle protein in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Here we show that Dsk2 can homodimerize via its C-terminal UBA domain in the absence of ubiquitin. Dsk2 mutants defective in the UBA domain do not dimerize and do not bind polyubiquitin. The expression of Dsk2 UBA mutants fails to restore the growth defect caused by DSK2 disruption although that of wild-type Dsk2 can restore the defect. These results suggest that Dsk2 homodimerization via the UBA domain plays a role in regulating polyubiquitin binding in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.  相似文献

Ubiquitin-like (UBL)–ubiquitin-associated (UBA) proteins, including Dsk2 and Rad23, act as delivery factors that target polyubiquitinated substrates to the proteasome. We report here that the Dsk2 UBL domain is ubiquitinated in yeast cells and that Dsk2 ubiquitination of the UBL domain is involved in Dsk2 stability, depending on the Dsk2 UBA domain. Also, Dsk2 lacking ubiquitin chains impaired ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation and decreased the interaction of Dsk2 with polyubiquitinated proteins in cells. Moreover, Dsk2 ubiquitination affected ability to restore the temperature-sensitive growth defect of dsk2Δ. These results indicate that ubiquitination in the UBL domain of Dsk2 has in vivo functions in the ubiquitin–proteasome pathway in yeast.  相似文献

Lysine 48-linked polyubiquitin chains usually target proteins for 26 S proteasomal degradation; however, this modification is not a warrant for destruction. Here, we found that efficient degradation of a physiological substrate UbcH10 requires not only an exogenous polyubiquitin chain modification but also its unstructured N-terminal region. Interestingly, the unstructured N-terminal region of UbcH10 directly binds the 19 S regulatory complex of the 26 S proteasome, and it mediates the initiation of substrate translocation. To promote ubiquitin- dependent degradation of the folded domains of UbcH10, its N-terminal region can be displaced by exogenous proteasomal binding elements. Moreover, the unstructured N-terminal region can initiate substrate translocation even when UbcH10 is artificially cyclized without a free terminus. Polyubiquitinated circular UbcH10 is completely degraded by the 26 S proteasome. Accordingly, we propose that degradation of some polyubiquitinated proteins requires two binding interactions: a polyubiquitin chain and an intrinsic proteasomal binding element in the substrates (likely an unstructured region); moreover, the intrinsic proteasomal binding element initiates substrate translocation regardless of its location in the substrates.  相似文献
