For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20C to -80C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles. BACKGROUND Description uBA3, also known as NEDD8-activating enzyme E1 catalytic subunit, is the catalytic subunit of the dimeric uBA3- NAE1 E1 enzyme. E1 activates NEDD8 by first adenylating its C-terminal glycine residue with ATP, thereafter linking this residue to the side chain of the catalytic cysteine, yielding a NEDD8-uBA3 thioester and free AMP. E1 finally transfers NEDD8 to the catalytic cysteine of uBE2M. Recombinant human uBA3 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography. 1 Recombinant human NEDD8 E1/APPBP1/UBA3 protein Catalog Number: ATGP1425 Amino acid Sequence MGSSHHHHHH SSGLVPRGSH MGSHMADGEE PERKRRRIEE LLAEKMAVDG GCGDTGDWEG RWNHVKKFLE RSGPFTHPDF EPSTESLQFL LDTCKVLVIG AGGLGCELLK NLALSGFRQI HVIDMDTIDV SNLNRQFLFR PKDIGRPKAE VAAEFLNDRV PNCNVVPHFN KIQDFNDTFY RQFHIIVCGL DSIIARRWIN GMLISLLNYE DGVLDPSSIV PLIDGGTEGF KGNARVILPG MTACIECTLE LYPPQVNFPM CTIASMPRLP EHCIEYVRML QWPKEQPFGE GVPLDGDDPE HIQWIFQKSL ERASQYNIRG VTYRLTQGVV KRIIPAVAST NAVIAAVCAT EVFKIATSAY IPLNNYLVFN DVDGLYTYTF EAERKENCPA CSQLPQNIQF SPSAKLQEVL DYLTNSASLQ MKSPAITATL EGKNRTLYLQ SVTSIEERTR PNLSKTLKEL GLVDGQELAV ADVTTPQTVL FKLHFTS General References Gong L., et al.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Dissecting Distinct Roles of NEDDylation E1 Ligase Heterodimer APPBP1 and UBA3 Received: 7 November 2017 Accepted: 25 May 2018 Reveals Potential Evolution Process Published: xx xx xxxx for Activation of Ubiquitin-related Pathways Harbani Kaur Malik-Chaudhry1, Zied Gaieb1, Amanda Saavedra1, Michael Reyes1, Raphael Kung1, Frank Le1, Dimitrios Morikis1,2 & Jiayu Liao1,2 Despite the similar enzyme cascade in the Ubiquitin and Ubiquitin-like peptide(Ubl) conjugation, the involvement of single or heterodimer E1 activating enzyme has been a mystery. Here, by using a quantitative Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) technology, aided with Analysis of Electrostatic Similarities Of Proteins (AESOP) computational framework, we elucidate in detail the functional properties of each subunit of the E1 heterodimer activating-enzyme for NEDD8, UBA3 and APPBP1. In contrast to SUMO activation, which requires both subunits of its E1 heterodimer AOS1-Uba2 for its activation, NEDD8 activation requires only one of two E1 subunits, UBA3. The other subunit, APPBP1, only contributes by accelerating the activation reaction rate. This discovery implies that APPBP1 functions mainly as a scafold protein to enhance molecular interactions and facilitate catalytic reaction. These fndings for the frst time reveal critical new mechanisms and a potential evolutionary pathway for Ubl activations. Furthermore, this quantitative FRET approach can be used for other general biochemical pathway analysis in a dynamic mode. Ubiquitin and Ubls are peptides that are conjugated to various target proteins to either lead the targeted protein to degradation or changes of activities in vivo, and their dysregulations ofen leads to various diseases, such as can- cers or neurodegenerative diseases1–3.

Abstract: Pevonedistat is a neddylation inhibitor that blocks proteasomal degradation of cullin–RING ligase (CRL) proteins involved in the degradation of short-lived regulatory proteins, including those involved with cell-cycle regulation. We determined the sensitivity and mechanism of action of pevonedistat cytotoxicity in neuroblastoma. Pevonedistat cytotoxicity was assessed using cell viability assays and apoptosis. We examined mechanisms of action using flow cytometry, bromod- eoxyuridine (BrDU) and immunoblots. Orthotopic mouse xenografts of human neuroblastoma were generated to assess in vivo anti-tumor activity. Neuroblastoma cell lines were very sensitive to pevonedistat (IC50 136–400 nM).

Here, we show that the chlamydial deubiquitinating enzyme (Cdu) 1 localizes in the inclusion membrane and faces the cytosol with the active deubiquitinating enzyme domain. The structure of this domain revealed high similarity to mammalian deubiquitinases with a unique a-helix close to the substrate-binding pocket. We identified the apoptosis regulator Mcl-1 as a target that interacts with Cdu1 and is stabilized by deubiquitination at the chlamydial inclusion. A chlamydial transposon insertion mutant in the Cdu1-encoding gene exhibited increased Mcl-1 and inclusion ubiquitination and reduced Mcl- 1 stabilization. Additionally, inactivation of Cdu1 led to increased sensitivity of C. trachomatis for IFNg and impaired infection in mice. Thus, the chlamydial inclusion serves as an enriched site for a *For correspondence: thomas. deubiquitinating activity exerting a function in selective stabilization of host proteins and [email protected]. protection from host defense. de DOI: 10.7554/eLife.21465.001 Competing interests: The authors declare that no competing interests exist.

Abstract: Hepatic steatosis is a consequence of distorted lipid storage and plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This study aimed to explore the role of the COP9 signalosome (CSN) in the development of hepatic steatosis and its interplay with the deubiquitylating enzyme (DUB) cylindromatosis (CYLD). CSN occurs as CSNCSN7A and CSNCSN7B variants regulating the ubiquitin proteasome system. It is a deneddylating complex and associates with other DUBs. CYLD cleaves Lys63-ubiquitin chains, regulating a signal cascade that mitigates hepatic steatosis. CSN subunits CSN1 and CSN7B, as well as CYLD, were downregulated with specific siRNA in HepG2 cells and human primary hepatocytes.
