Molecular Interactions between Two LMP2A PY Motifs of EBV and WW Domains of E3 Ubiquitin Ligase AIP4.

ABSTRACT: Interactions involving Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) LMP2A and Nedd4 family E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases promote the ubiquitination of LMP2A-associated proteins, which results in the perturbation of normal B-cell signaling. Here, we solved the solution structure of the WW2 domain of hAIP4 and investigated the binding mode involving the N-terminal domain of LMP2A and the WW2 domain. The WW2 domain presented a conserved WW domain scaffold with a three-stranded anti-parallel β-sheet and bound two PY motifs via different binding mechanisms. Our NMR titration and ITC data demonstrated that the PY motifs of LMP2A can recognize and interact weakly with the XP groove of the WW2 domain (residues located around the third β-strand), and then residues between two PY motifs optimize the binding by interacting with the loop 1 region of the WW2 domain. In particular, the residue Val15 in the hairpin loop region between β1 and β2 of the WW2 domain exhibited unique changes depending on the terminal residues of the PY motif. This result suggested that the hairpin loop is responsible for additional interactions outside the XP groove, and this hypothesis was confirmed in a deuterium exchange experiment. These weak but wide interactions can stabilize the complex formed between the PY and WW domains.

Project description:The PINK1 (phosphatase and tensin homologue-induced putative kinase 1)/Parkin-dependent mitochondrial quality control pathway mediates the clearance of damaged organelles, but appears to be disrupted in Parkinson's disease (PD) [Springer and Kahle (2011) Autophagy 7, 266-278]. Upon mitochondrial stress, PINK1 activates the E3 ubiquitin (Ub) ligase Parkin through phosphorylation of the Ub-like (UBL) domain of Parkin and of the small modifier Ub itself at a conserved residue [Sauvé and Gehring (2014) Cell Res. 24, 1025-1026]. Recently resolved partial crystal structures of Parkin showed a 'closed', auto-inhibited conformation, consistent with its notoriously weak enzymatic activity at steady state [Wauer and Komander (2013) EMBO J. 32, 2099-2112; Riley et al. (2013) Nat. Commun. 4, 1982; Trempe et al. (2013) Science 340, 1451-1455; Spratt et al. (2013) Nat. Commun. 4, 1983]. It has thus become clear that Parkin must undergo major structural rearrangements in order to unleash its catalytic functions. Recent published findings derived from X-ray structures and molecular modelling present a complete structural model of human Parkin at an all-atom resolution [Caulfield et al. (2014) PLoS Comput. Biol. 10, e1003935]. The results of the combined in silico simulations-based and experimental assay-based study indicates that PINK1-dependent Ser65 phosphorylation of Parkin is required for its activation and triggering of 'opening' conformations. Indeed, the obtained structures showed a sequential release of Parkin's intertwined domains and allowed docking of an Ub-charged E2 coenzyme, which could enable its enzymatic activity. In addition, using cell-based screening, select E2 enzymes that redundantly, cooperatively or antagonistically regulate Parkin's activation and/or enzymatic functions at different stages of the mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy) process were identified [Fiesel et al. (2014) J. Cell Sci. 127, 3488-3504]. Other work that aims to pin-point the particular pathogenic dysfunctions of Parkin mis-sense mutations have been recently disseminated (Fabienne C. Fiesel, Thomas R. Caulfield, Elisabeth L. Moussaud-Lamodiere, Daniel F.A.R. Dourado, Kotaro Ogaki, Owen A. Ross, Samuel C. Flores, and Wolfdieter Springer, submitted). Such a structure-function approach provides the basis for the dissection of Parkin's regulation and a targeted drug design to identify small-molecule activators of this neuroprotective E3 Ub ligase.
