Structural basis for ubiquitylation by HOIL-1.

ABSTRACT: The linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex synthesises linear Ub chains which constitute a binding and activation platform for components of the TNF signalling pathway. One of the components of LUBAC is the ubiquitin ligase HOIL-1 which has been shown to generate oxyester linkages on several proteins and on linear polysaccharides. We show that HOIL-1 activity requires linear tetra-Ub binding which enables HOIL-1 to mono-ubiquitylate linear Ub chains and polysaccharides. Furthermore, we describe the crystal structure of a C-terminal tandem domain construct of HOIL-1 comprising the IBR and RING2 domains. Interestingly, the structure reveals a unique bi-nuclear Zn-cluster which substitutes the second zinc finger of the canonical RING2 fold. We identify the C-terminal histidine of this bi-nuclear Zn-cluster as the catalytic base required for the ubiquitylation activity of HOIL-1. Our study suggests that the unique zinc-coordinating architecture of RING2 provides a binding platform for ubiquitylation targets.

Structural basis for RNA polymerase II ubiquitylation and inactivation in transcription-coupled repair.

Project description:During transcription-coupled DNA repair (TCR), RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transitions from a transcriptionally active state to an arrested state that allows for removal of DNA lesions. This transition requires site-specific ubiquitylation of Pol II by the CRL4CSA ubiquitin ligase, a process that is facilitated by ELOF1 in an unknown way. Using cryogenic electron microscopy, biochemical assays and cell biology approaches, we found that ELOF1 serves as an adaptor to stably position UVSSA and CRL4CSA on arrested Pol II, leading to ligase neddylation and activation of Pol II ubiquitylation. In the presence of ELOF1, a transcription factor IIS (TFIIS)-like element in UVSSA gets ordered and extends through the Pol II pore, thus preventing reactivation of Pol II by TFIIS. Our results provide the structural basis for Pol II ubiquitylation and inactivation in TCR.

Molecular basis of Pirh2-mediated p53 ubiquitylation.

Project description:Pirh2 (p53-induced RING-H2 domain protein; also known as Rchy1) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in a negative-feedback loop with p53. Using NMR spectroscopy, we show that Pirh2 is a unique cysteine-rich protein comprising three modular domains. The protein binds nine zinc ions using a variety of zinc coordination schemes, including a RING domain and a left-handed beta-spiral in which three zinc ions align three consecutive small beta-sheets in an interleaved fashion. We show that Pirh2-p53 interaction is dependent on the C-terminal zinc binding module of Pirh2, which binds to the tetramerization domain of p53. As a result, Pirh2 preferentially ubiquitylates the tetrameric form of p53 in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that Pirh2 regulates protein turnover of the transcriptionally active form of p53.

Structural basis for retroviral integration into nucleosomes

Project description:Retroviral integration is catalyzed by a tetramer of integrase (IN) assembled on viral DNA ends in a stable complex, known as the intasome. How the intasome interfaces with chromosomal DNA, which exists in the form of nucleosomal arrays, is currently unknown. Here we show that the prototype foamy virus (PFV) intasome is proficient at stable capture of nucleosomes as targets for integration. Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (EM) reveals a multivalent intasome-nucleosome interface involving both gyres of nucleosomal DNA and one H2A-H2B heterodimer. While the histone octamer remains intact, the DNA is lifted from the surface of the H2A-H2B heterodimer to allow integration at strongly preferred superhelix location (SHL) ±3.5 positions. Amino acid substitutions disrupting these contacts impinge on the ability of the intasome to engage nucleosomes in vitro and redistribute viral integration sites on the genomic scale. Our findings elucidate the molecular basis for nucleosome capture by the viral DNA recombination machinery and the underlying nucleosome plasticity that allows integration. Genomic positions of integration sites of WT and mutant PFV vectors in HT1080 cells were determined using ligation-mediated PCR and next generation sequencing. Integration sites of purified recombinant PFV intasome into deproteinized human genomic DNA were used as a reference dataset.

Structural basis of YTH domain as m6A reader

Project description:The N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in almost all eukaryotic messenger RNAs, and is dynamically regulated. Therefore, identification of m6A readers is especially important in determining the cellular function of m6A. YTHDF2 has recently been characterized as the first m6A reader that regulates the cytoplasmic stability of methylated RNA. Here we show that YTHDC1 is a nuclear m6A reader and report the crystal structure of the YTH domain of YTHDC1 bound to m6A-containing RNA. We further determined the structure of another YTH domain, YTHDF1, and found that the YTH domain utilizes a conserved aromatic cage to specifically recognize the methyl group of m6A. Our structural characterizations of the YTHDC1-m6A RNA complex also shed light on the molecular basis for the preferential binding of the GG(m6A)C sequence by YTHDC1 and confirm the YTH domain as a specific m6A RNA reader. PAR-CLIP (Photoactivatable-Ribonucleoside-Enhanced Crosslinking and Immunoprecipitation) was applied to human YTHDC1 protein to identify its binding sites.

Structural Basis for Target-Directed MicroRNA Degradation

Project description:We used HSUR1 – a small non-coding RNA from Herpesvirus saimiri that induces degradation of host miR-27 – to validate structural insights into target-directed miRNA degradation (TDMD). While performing systematic mutagenesis of HSUR1 we noticed that HSUR1 mutants exhibiting complementarity to the extreme 3' end of miR-27, lead to generation of extended miR-27 isoforms (isomiRs). These isomiRs likely represent failed products of TDMD and could mean that features of the pairing between the TDMD target and miRNA dictate which enzymes are recruited to modify the miRNA 3′ end. Small RNA sequencing revealed that a mixture of adenylates and uridylates is added to the 3′ end of miR-27 during TDMD.

Structural basis for pre-miRNA-31 biogenesis

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that regulate protein gene expression post-transcriptionally. By base pairing with target mRNAs, miRNAs triggers mRNA degradation or translational suppression[1-4]. Abnormal miRNAs levels are associated with cancers, diabetes, neurological and other diseases[5-8]. RNA polymerase II transcribes primary miRNA (pri-miR) in the nucleus and pri-miRs are subsequently processed by Microprocessor, which is composed of Drosha and DiGeorge syndrome critical region 8 (DGCR8) proteins, to generate precursor miRNAs (pre-miRs). Pre-miRs are exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm in a GTP-dependent manner by Exportin-5. In the cytoplasm, a pre-miRs are further processed by Dicer to generate 21-22 nt mature miRNA[4, 9]. Argonaute (Ago) protein loads one of mature miRNAs into protein and forms miRNA-induced silencing complex, which is responsible for mRNA degradation or translational suppression[2, 4].

Structural basis of virulence activation in Francisella tularensis

Project description:The bacterium, Francisella tularensis (Ft), is one of the most infectious agents known and classified as a category A bioweapon. Ft virulence is controlled by a unique set of transcription regulators, the MglA-SspA heterodimer, PigR, and the stress signal, ppGpp. These factors activate Francisella pathogenicity island (FPI) gene expression, which is required for virulence. MglA-SspA is expressed during infection and constitutively associates with the σ70 associated RNAP holoenzyme (RNAPσ70), indicating that RNAPσ70-(MglA-SspA) is a virulence specific polymerase. How virulence activation is mediated by these components, however, is unknown. Here we report cryo-EM structures of FtRNAPσ70, FtRNAPσ70-(MglA-SspA) and RNAPσ70-(MglA-SspA)-ppGpp-PigR complexes with promoter DNA. FtRNAPσ70-DNA and FtRNAPσ70-(MglA-SspA)-DNA structures and RT-PCR analyses show MglA-SspA stabilizes σ70 binding to DNA to regulate FPI-independent, virulence-enhancing genes. Strikingly, an Escherichia coli RNAPσ70 complex with EcSspA suggests this is a general mechanism for SspA-like regulation of bacterial RNAPσ70. Finally, our FtRNAP-σ70-(MglA-SspA)-ppGpp-PigR-DNA structure reveals that ppGpp binds to MglA-SspA to tether the DNA-binding activator, PigR, to FPI promoters. PigR in turn recruits FtRNAP CTDs to two DNA upstream (UP) elements, generating stable FPI transcription complexes. Thus, these studies unveil a novel paradigm for pathogenesis in Ft involving a virulence-specific RNAP that employs two (MglA-SspA)-based strategies to activate virulence genes.
