Solution structure of the E3 ligase HOIL-1 Ubl domain.

ABSTRACT: The E3 ligases HOIL-1 and parkin are each comprised of an N-terminal ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain followed by a zinc-binding region and C-terminal RING-In-between-RING-RING domains. These two proteins, involved in the ubiquitin-mediated degradation pathway, are the only two known E3 ligases to share this type of multidomain architecture. Further, the Ubl domain of both HOIL-1 and parkin has been shown to interact with the S5a subunit of the 26S proteasome. The solution structure of the HOIL-1 Ubl domain was solved using NMR spectroscopy to compare it with that of parkin to determine the structural elements responsible for S5a intermolecular interactions. The final ensemble of 20 structures had a β-grasp Ubl-fold with an overall backbone RMSD of 0.59 ± 0.10 Å in the structured regions betwee
