The determinants of chain type specificity and the mechanism of polyubiquitination by HECT E3sKim, Hyung Cheol 26 January 2011 (has links)
Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification that can take several forms. Some proteins are modified with a single ubiquitin molecule, while others are modified with polyubiquitin chains. Each type of ubiquitination is thought to have distinct biological functions. The best-characterized types of ubiquitin modification are K48-linked polyubiquitination, which serves as a signal for proteasomal degradation and K63-linked polyubiquitination, which has non-proteolytic functions such in DNA repair, signaling, and endocytosis.
HECT ubiquitin ligases (HECT E3s) form a class of E3s, defined by a C terminal catalytic domain. Several lines of evidence suggested that the HECT E3s assemble a polyubiquitin chain in a sequential manner with one molecule of ubiquitin at a time being conjugated to the distal ubiquitin of the chain. In the process of chain elongation, not all HECT E3s target a common internal lysine of ubiquitin, leading to diversification of chain type specificity in HECT E3s. For example, yeast Rsp5 forms K63 chains, while human E6AP forms K48 chains.
Two important mechanistic questions were addressed in my work: 1) what are the determinants of chain type specificity of HECT E3s, and 2) what allows the distal ubiquitin of a chain to be continuously oriented near the active site of the HECT domain in the course of a sequential polyubiquitination reaction?
I have determined that the chain type specificity of Rsp5 is a function solely of the HECT domain. Further, through the generation of chimeric HECT E3s, I demonstrated that chain type specificity determinants are located within the last 60 amino acids of the C lobe of the HECT domain.
To address the second question, we solved the structure of Rsp5 HECT domain in complex with non-covalently bound ubiquitin in collaboration with Jue Chen’s laboratory (Purdue University). From the structure, we found that the N lobe of the HECT domain binds ubiquitin in a manner distinct from other known ubiquitin binding domains, and I have shown that Rsp5 proteins defective for ubiquitin binding are defective for chain elongation. We hypothesize that the ubiquitin binding site functions in the recruitment of the distal ubiquitin of polyubiquitin chain for efficient polyubiquitination. / text

Ubiquitin-binding domains in polyubiquitin chain synthesisPluska, Lukas 21 August 2020 (has links)
Ubiquitinierung ist eine essentielle posttranslationale Proteinmodifikation (PTM), die vielfältige Prozesse in eukaryotischen Zellen steuert. Ubiquitin wird zu unterschiedlichen polymeren Ketten zusammengesetzt, wobei E2-Ubiquitin-konjugierende Enzyme häufig eine entscheidende Rolle spielen. Im Rahmen meiner Promotion habe ich die molekularen Grundlagen der Ub Kettensynthese durch die E2-Enzyme Ubc1 und Ubc7 untersucht. Dies geschah mithilfe von in vitro Ubiquitinierungs-Reaktionen, biochemischen und strukturellen Untersuchungen sowie zellbiologischen Experimenten. Ich konnte zeigen, dass zugehörige Ubiquitin-Binde-Domänen (UBDs) die Funktion der E2-Enzyme maßgeblich regulieren.
Als einziges unter elf E2-Enzymen in S. cerevisiae enthält Ubc1 eine Ub-bindende UBA Domäne, deren Funktion bisher unklar blieb. Ubc1 modifiziert ausschließlich Lysin 48 (K48) in Ub und wurde mit Proteinqualitätskontrolle sowie der Regulation des Zellzyklus in Verbindung gebracht. Meine Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Ubc1 mithilfe seiner UBA-Domäne vorzugsweise mit K63-verknüpftem Polyubiquitin interagiert, wodurch K48/K63 verzweigte Ub-Ketten entstehen. Basierend auf vorhandenen Strukturinformationen und meinen eigenen röntgenkristallographischen Untersuchungen zeige ich eine Modellstruktur für die Reaktion auf. Meine Ergebnisse stellen eine wesentliche Untersuchungsgrundlage für verzweigten Ub-Ketten dar, über deren Vorkommen und Funktion bisher wenig bekannt ist.
Ubc7 assembliert mithilfe seines Kofaktors Cue1 K48-verknüpfte Ub-Ketten im Rahmen des Endoplasmatisches-Retikulum-assoziierten Proteinabbaus (ERAD). In einem kollaborativen Projekt haben wir die Ub-bindende CUE-Domäne in Cue1, die hierfür eine Schlüsselrolle spielt, untersucht. Sie ermöglicht die Ausrichtung des E2-Enzyms an der distalen Spitze der Ub-Kette für eine schnelle Kettenverlängerung, besitzt einzigartige auf den Prozess angepasste Bindungseigenschaften und ihre Beeinträchtigung stört den Abbau des ERAD-Substrates Ubc6. / Ubiquitination is an essential posttranslational protein modification (PTM) that regulates widespread intracellular processes in eukaryotic cells. Ubiquitin (Ub) can be assembled into polymeric chains through its seven internal lysine residues and the N-terminus enabling the formation of a complex "Ubiquitin Code". Factors that guide the molecular machinery which produces this code remain poorly understood. In this study, I demonstrate that ubiquitin binding domains (UBDs) associated with the E2 enzymes Ubc1 and Ubc7 substantially contribute to the assembly of particular Ub chains.
Uniquely among the eleven E2 enzymes of S. cerevisiae Ubc1 contains a ubiquitin binding UBA domain. Ubc1 exclusively modifies lysine 48 (K48) in Ub and has been implicated in protein quality control and cell cycle progression. However, the function of its UBA domain remained elusive. I identified Ubc1 to preferentially target specific Ub molecules in K63-linked polyubiquitin via its UBA domain. This activity results in the assembly of K48/K63 branched Ub chains. Based on existing structural information and my own X-ray crystallographic experiments, I propose a structure for the transition state of branched chain assembly by Ubc1. My findings provide a basis for the study of this unusual Ub chain type.
Ubc7 has previously been shown to be activated by its co-factor Cue1 to assemble Ub chains linked through lysine 48 (K48) in the context of endoplasmic reticulum associated protein degradation (ERAD). In collaboration with Dr. Maximilian von Delbrück and Dr. Andreas Kniss, we identified the ubiquitin binding CUE domain in Cue1 to play a key role in aligning Ubc7 with the distal tip of a K48-linked Ub chain for rapid chain elongation. Furthermore, we showed how binding of Ub by the CUE domain is well adapted towards the chain elongation process and how its disruption impairs degradation of the ERAD substrate Ubc6.
