  • The HECT Domain Ubiquitin Ligase HUWE1 Targets Unassembled Soluble Proteins for Degradation
    OPEN Citation: Cell Discovery (2016) 2, 16040; doi:10.1038/celldisc.2016.40 ARTICLE www.nature.com/celldisc The HECT domain ubiquitin ligase HUWE1 targets unassembled soluble proteins for degradation Yue Xu1, D Eric Anderson2, Yihong Ye1 1Laboratory of Molecular Biology, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA; 2Advanced Mass Spectrometry Core Facility, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA In eukaryotes, many proteins function in multi-subunit complexes that require proper assembly. To maintain complex stoichiometry, cells use the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation system to degrade unassembled membrane subunits, but how unassembled soluble proteins are eliminated is undefined. Here we show that degradation of unassembled soluble proteins (referred to as unassembled soluble protein degradation, USPD) requires the ubiquitin selective chaperone p97, its co-factor nuclear protein localization protein 4 (Npl4), and the proteasome. At the ubiquitin ligase level, the previously identified protein quality control ligase UBR1 (ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component n-recognin 1) and the related enzymes only process a subset of unassembled soluble proteins. We identify the homologous to the E6-AP carboxyl terminus (homologous to the E6-AP carboxyl terminus) domain-containing protein HUWE1 as a ubiquitin ligase for substrates bearing unshielded, hydrophobic segments. We used a stable isotope labeling with amino acids-based proteomic approach to identify endogenous HUWE1 substrates. Interestingly, many HUWE1 substrates form multi-protein com- plexes that function in the nucleus although HUWE1 itself is cytoplasmically localized. Inhibition of nuclear entry enhances HUWE1-mediated ubiquitination and degradation, suggesting that USPD occurs primarily in the cytoplasm.

    Figure S1. DMD module network. The network is formed by 260 genes from DisGeNET and 1101 interactions from STRING. Red nodes are the five seed candidate genes. Figure S2. DMD module network is more connected than a random module of the same size. It is shown the distribution of the largest connected component of 10.000 random modules of the same size of the DMD module network. The green line (x=260) represents the DMD largest connected component, obtaining a z-score=8.9. Figure S3. Shared genes between BMD and DMD signature. A) A meta-analysis of three microarray datasets (GSE3307, GSE13608 and GSE109178) was performed for the identification of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in BMD muscle biopsies as compared to normal muscle biopsies. Briefly, the GSE13608 dataset included 6 samples of skeletal muscle biopsy from healthy people and 5 samples from BMD patients. Biopsies were taken from either biceps brachii, triceps brachii or deltoid. The GSE3307 dataset included 17 samples of skeletal muscle biopsy from healthy people and 10 samples from BMD patients. The GSE109178 dataset included 14 samples of controls and 11 samples from BMD patients. For both GSE3307 and GSE10917 datasets, biopsies were taken at the time of diagnosis and from the vastus lateralis. For the meta-analysis of GSE13608, GSE3307 and GSE109178, a random effects model of effect size measure was used to integrate gene expression patterns from the two datasets. Genes with an adjusted p value (FDR) < 0.05 and an │effect size│>2 were identified as DEGs and selected for further analysis. A significant number of DEGs (p<0.001) were in common with the DMD signature genes (blue nodes), as determined by a hypergeometric test assessing the significance of the overlap between the BMD DEGs and the number of DMD signature genes B) MCODE analysis of the overlapping genes between BMD DEGs and DMD signature genes.

  • The Ubiquitination Enzymes of Leishmania Mexicana
    The ubiquitination enzymes of Leishmania mexicana Rebecca Jayne Burge Doctor of Philosophy University of York Biology October 2020 Abstract Post-translational modifications such as ubiquitination are important for orchestrating the cellular transformations that occur as the Leishmania parasite differentiates between its main morphological forms, the promastigote and amastigote. Although 20 deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) have been partially characterised in Leishmania mexicana, little is known about the role of E1 ubiquitin-activating (E1), E2 ubiquitin- conjugating (E2) and E3 ubiquitin ligase (E3) enzymes in this parasite. Using bioinformatic methods, 2 E1, 13 E2 and 79 E3 genes were identified in the L. mexicana genome. Subsequently, bar-seq analysis of 23 E1, E2 and HECT/RBR E3 null mutants generated in promastigotes using CRISPR-Cas9 revealed that the E2s UBC1/CDC34, UBC2 and UEV1 and the HECT E3 ligase HECT2 are required for successful promastigote to amastigote differentiation and UBA1b, UBC9, UBC14, HECT7 and HECT11 are required for normal proliferation during mouse infection. Null mutants could not be generated for the E1 UBA1a or the E2s UBC3, UBC7, UBC12 and UBC13, suggesting these genes are essential in promastigotes. X-ray crystal structure analysis of UBC2 and UEV1, orthologues of human UBE2N and UBE2V1/UBE2V2 respectively, revealed a heterodimer with a highly conserved structure and interface. Furthermore, recombinant L. mexicana UBA1a was found to load ubiquitin onto UBC2, allowing UBC2- UEV1 to form K63-linked di-ubiquitin chains in vitro. UBC2 was also shown to cooperate with human E3s RNF8 and BIRC2 in vitro to form non-K63-linked polyubiquitin chains, but association of UBC2 with UEV1 inhibits this ability.

  • The UBE2L3 Ubiquitin Conjugating Enzyme: Interplay with Inflammasome Signalling and Bacterial Ubiquitin Ligases
    The UBE2L3 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme: interplay with inflammasome signalling and bacterial ubiquitin ligases Matthew James George Eldridge 2018 Imperial College London Department of Medicine Submitted to Imperial College London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 Abstract Inflammasome-controlled immune responses such as IL-1β release and pyroptosis play key roles in antimicrobial immunity and are heavily implicated in multiple hereditary autoimmune diseases. Despite extensive knowledge of the mechanisms regulating inflammasome activation, many downstream responses remain poorly understood or uncharacterised. The cysteine protease caspase-1 is the executor of inflammasome responses, therefore identifying and characterising its substrates is vital for better understanding of inflammasome-mediated effector mechanisms. Using unbiased proteomics, the Shenoy grouped identified the ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UBE2L3 as a target of caspase-1. In this work, I have confirmed UBE2L3 as an indirect target of caspase-1 and characterised its role in inflammasomes-mediated immune responses. I show that UBE2L3 functions in the negative regulation of cellular pro-IL-1 via the ubiquitin- proteasome system. Following inflammatory stimuli, UBE2L3 assists in the ubiquitylation and degradation of newly produced pro-IL-1. However, in response to caspase-1 activation, UBE2L3 is itself targeted for degradation by the proteasome in a caspase-1-dependent manner, thereby liberating an additional pool of IL-1 which may be processed and released. UBE2L3 therefore acts a molecular rheostat, conferring caspase-1 an additional level of control over this potent cytokine, ensuring that it is efficiently secreted only in appropriate circumstances. These findings on UBE2L3 have implications for IL-1- driven pathology in hereditary fever syndromes, and autoinflammatory conditions associated with UBE2L3 polymorphisms.
