Profiling linkage-specific ubiquitin chain functions reveals a key role of K29-linked ubiquitylation in epigenome integrity

ABSTRACT: Linkage-specific ubiquitin (Ub) chains dictate the functional outcome of many critical Ub-dependent signaling processes. However, the functions and targets of several poly-Ub topologies remain poorly understood due to a lack of tools for their specific detection and manipulation. To remedy this knowledge gap, we applied a cell-based Ub replacement strategy enabling specific, conditional abrogation of each of the seven lysine-based Ub chain types in human cells to comprehensively profile global ubiquitylation changes resulting from disabling formation of individual Ub chain types. Focusing on K29-linked ubiquitylation, we found that this linkage type is enriched among chromatin-associated proteins, and that the H3K9me3 methyltransferase SUV39H1 is a prominent cellular target of this modification. We demonstrate that K29-linked ubiquitylation is essential for the proteasomal degradation of SUV39H1 despite its extensive modification by K48-linked ubiquitylation, and that K29-linked ubiquitylation of SUV39H1 is catalyzed and reversed by TRIP12 and TRABID, respectively. Importantly, preventing K29-linked ubiquitylation of SUV39H1 markedly increases H3K9me3 levels, but not other histone marks. Collectively, our Ub replacement cell line panel and datasets provide valuable resources for illuminating cellular functions of linkage-specific ubiquitylation processes and reveal a key role for K29-linked ubiquitylation in epigenome integrity.

Proteomic Analysis of Ubiquitin Chain Types in Murine Cells and Tissues

Project description:Mass spectrometry-based proteomics has become an integral approach for characterising ubiquitin chain-linkage compositions and architectures. In this study, we optimised sample preparation and chromatographic separation of Ubiquitin peptides for Absolute Quantification by Parallel Reaction Monitoring (Ub-AQUA-PRM). Using this refined Ub-AQUA-PRM assay, we were able to quantify all ubiquitin chain types in 10-minute LC-MS/MS runs. We used this method to determine the ubiquitin chain-linkage composition in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and different mouse tissues. We could show tissue-specific differences in ubiquitin levels in murine tissues, with polyubiquitin chain types contributing a small proportion to the total pool of ubiquitin. Interestingly, we observed enrichment of atypical ubiquitin chain types (K29 and K33) in heart and muscle. Ubiquitin chain topology profiling using tandem ubiquitin binding entities, directed at K29/K33 ubiquitin chains (TRABID), and mass spectrometry analysis identified several mitochondrial proteins as putatively associated with these atypical ubiquitin chain types. Our approach enabled high-throughput screening of ubiquitin chain-linkage composition in different murine tissues and highlighted a possible role for atypical ubiquitylation in contractile tissues. Our results contribute to our understanding of in vivo ubiquitin chain-linkage composition in murine tissues.

K27-linked ubiquitylation promotes p97 substrate processing and is essential for cell proliferation

Project description:Conjugation of ubiquitin (Ub) to numerous substrate proteins regulates virtually all cellular processes. Eight distinct ubiquitin polymer linkages specifying different functional outcomes are generated in cells. However, the roles of some atypical poly-ubiquitin topologies, in particular linkages via lysine 27 (K27), remain poorly understood due to a lack of tools for their specific detection and manipulation. Here, we adapted a cell-based ubiquitin replacement strategy to enable selective and conditional abrogation of K27-linked ubiquitylation, revealing that this ubiquitin linkage type is essential for proliferation of human cells. We demonstrate that K27-linked ubiquitylation is predominantly a nuclear modification whose ablation deregulates nuclear ubiquitylation dynamics and impairs cell cycle progression in an epistatic manner with inactivation of the ATPase p97/VCP. Moreover, we show that a p97-proteasome pathway model substrate (Ub(G76V)-GFP) is directly modified by K27-linked ubiquitylation, and that disabling the formation of K27-linked ubiquitin signals or blocking their decoding via overexpression of the K27 linkage-specific binder UCHL3 impedes Ub(G76V)-GFP turnover at the level of p97 function. Our findings suggest a critical role of K27-linked ubiquitylation in supporting cell fitness by facilitating p97-dependent processing of ubiquitylated nuclear proteins.

A combinatorial ubiquitin code degrades substrates protected by deubiquitylation

Project description:Reversibility of protein ubiquitylation play essential roles in cellular protein homeostasis. How substrates stabilized by deubiquitylation are directed for degradation remains largely elusive. Here, we show that the branched ubiquitin chains promote the degradation of the deubiquitylase (DUB) OTUD5. OTUD5 is sequentially modified by TRIP12 and UBR5, E3s specific for the K29 and K48 linkages, respectively, resulting in the conjugation of K29/K48 branched ubiquitin chains. The TRIP12-OTUD5 antagonism regulates TNF--induced NF-B signaling. Mechanistically, while OTUD5 readily cleaves K48-linkages, K29-linkages are resistant against OTUD5 activity. Consequently, K29-linkages overcome OTUD5 DUB activity to facilitate UBR5-dependent K48-linked chain branching. Regarding generality, this mechanism adopts to other TRIP12 substrates associated with OTUD5. These results uncover a cellular unique strategy in which the sequential addition of DUB-resistant and proteasome-targeting ubiquitin linkages efficiently promote degradation of substrates protected by deubiquitylation, underscoring the role of branched ubiquitin chains in the quality control of hard-to-degrade substrates.

The length of a ubiquitin chain is a general determinant for selective recognition by ubiquitin-binding proteins.

Project description:The attachment of differently linked ubiquitin (Ub) chains of varying length to proteins is a prevalent posttranslational modification in eukaryotic cells. The fate of a modified protein is determined by Ub-binding proteins (UBPs) that interact with Ub chains in a linkage-selective manner. Therefore, proteome-wide interaction studies using differently linked Ub chains have become a focus of research activities. However, the impact and functional consequences of chain length on the binding selectivity of UBPs remain mostly elusive, due to a lack of available tools and sufficient amounts of pure, length-defined Ub chains. Here we generated linkage- and length-defined Ub chains using click-chemistry and gel-free fractionation and employed such defined polymers in affinity-based enrichment assays to identify length- and linkage-selective interactors on a proteome-wide scale. For the first time, this revealed that the length of a Ub chain has generally a major impact on its ability to be selectively recognized by UBPs.

Effect of TRIP12, UBR5, or HOIP in gene expression

Project description:The protein ubiquitylation is under the equilibrium between ubiquitin conjugation and deconjugation. How substrates stabilized by deubiquitylation are directed for degradation remains unclear. Branched ubiquitin chains promote substrate degradation through the proteasome, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. TRIP12 and UBR5 are HECT-type E3s specific for the K29 and K48 linkages, respectively. Here, we show that the deubiquitylase (DUB) OTUD5 is cooperatively modified by TRIP12 and UBR5, resulting in the conjugation of K29/K48 branched ubiquitin chains and accelerated proteasomal degradation. The TRIP12–OTUD5 antagonism regulates TNF-–induced NF-B signaling. Mechanistically, although OTUD5 readily cleaves K48 linkages, K29 linkages are resistant against OTUD5 activity. Consequently, K29 linkages overcome OTUD5 DUB activity to facilitate UBR5-dependent K48-linked chain branching. This mechanism is applicable to other TRIP12 substrates associated with OTUD5. These results reveal a unique cellular strategy in which the combination of DUB-resistant and proteasome-targeting ubiquitin linkages efficiently promotes the degradation of substrates protected by deubiquitylation, underscoring the role of branched ubiquitin chains in shifting the ubiquitin conjugation/deconjugation equilibrium.

JPST000115-1 Identification of ubiquitylation sites by K0-Ub [Reanalysis: JPST000115]

Project description:We have now developed a method for the efficient identification of ubiquitylation sites in target proteins with the use of an engineered form of ubiquitin (K0-Ub), in which all seven lysine residues are replaced with arginine. K0-Ub is covalently attached to lysine residues of target proteins via an isopeptide bond, but further formation of a polyubiquitin chain does not occur on K0-Ub. We identified a total of 1392 ubiquitylation sites of 794 proteins from HEK293T cells. [Original project description]

Hepatitis B Core Protein is Posttranslationally Modified through K29-linked Ubiquitination

Project description:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) core protein (HBc) plays many roles in the HBV life cycle such as regulation of transcription, RNA encapsidation, reverse transcription and viral release. To accomplish these functions, HBc interacts with many host proteins and undergoes different posttranslational modifications (PTMs). One of the most common PTM is ubiquitination that was shown to change function, stability, and intracellular localization of different viral proteins, but the role of HBc ubiquitination in the HBV life cycle remains unknown. Here, we found that HBc protein is posttranslationally modified through K29-linked ubiquitination. We performed a series of co-immunoprecipitation experiments with wild type HBc, lysine to arginine HBc mutants and wild type ubiquitin, single lysine to arginine ubiquitin mutants or single ubiquitin-accepting lysine constructs. We observed that HBc protein could be modified by ubiquitination in transfected as well as infected hepatoma cells. In addition, ubiquitination predominantly occurred on HBc lysine 7 and the preferred ubiquitin chain linkage was through ubiquitin-K29. Mass spectrometry (MS) analyses detected UBR5 as a potential E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in K29-linked ubiquitination. These findings emphasize that ubiquitination of HBc may play an important role in HBV life cycle.

Specificity, propagation and memory of pericentric heterochromatin in mouse fibroblasts

Project description:We assembled a quantitative map for the abundance and interactions of 16 factors related to PCH in living cells and found that stably bound complexes of the histone methyltransferase Suv39h1/2 demarcate the PCH state. From the experimental data we developed a predictive mathematical model that explains how chromatin-bound Suv39h1/2 complexes act as nucleation sites and propagate a spatially confined PCH domain with elevated histone H3 trimethylation levels via chromatin dynamics. Enrichment of HP1, Suv39h1/h2, H3K9me3 and H3K36me3 was assessed by ChIP-seq in NPCs derived from ESCs showing differential occupation at intergenic major satellite repeats and enrichment of heterochromatin factors. ChIP-seq of HP1, Suv39h1, Suv39h2, H3K9me3, H3K36me3 in NPCs

Loss of H3K9 tri-methylation alters chromosome compaction and transcription factor retention during mitosis

Project description:Recent studies have shown that repressive chromatin machinery, including DNA methyltransferases and Polycomb Repressor Complexes, bind to chromosomes throughout mitosis and their depletion results in increased chromosome size. Here we show that enzymes that catalyse H3K9 methylation, such as Suv39h1, Suv39h2, G9a and Glp, are also retained on mitotic chromosomes. Surprisingly however, mutants lacking H3K9me3 have unusually small and compact mitotic chromosomes associated with increased H3S10ph and H3K27me3 levels. Chromosome size and centromere compaction in these mutants were rescued by providing exogenous Suv39h1, or inhibiting Ezh2 activity. Quantitative proteomic comparisons of native mitotic chromosomes isolated from wildtype versus Suv39h1/Suv39h2 double-null mouse ESCs revealed that H3K9me3 was essential for the efficient retention of bookmarking factors such as Esrrb. These results highlight an unexpected role for repressive heterochromatin domains in preserving transcription factor binding through mitosis, and underscore the importance of H3K9me3 for sustaining chromosome architecture and epigenetic memory during cell division.

Histone ubiquitination-methylation crosstalk involving UHRF1 and SUV39H1/2 reinforces heterochromatin states in response to DNA hypomethylation

Project description:Histone H3 mono-ubiquitination, catalyzed by the RING E3 ubiquitin ligase UHRF1, is appreciated as a docking site for DNMT1 during DNA replication to facilitate DNA methylation maintenance. Its functions beyond this are unknown. Here, we identify simultaneous increases in UHRF1-dependent H3K18ub and SUV39H1/2-dependent H3K9me3 as prominent epigenetic alterations accompanying DNA hypomethylation induced by DNMT1 inhibition. Integrative epigenomics analyses reveal that transient accumulation of hemi-methylated DNA, resulting from incomplete DNA methylation maintenance, stimulates UHRF1-dependent H3K18ub at CpG islands that nucleates new domains of H3K9me3 and impedes PRC2 activity in these genomic regions. Notably, H3K18ub enhances the methyltransferase activity of SUV39H1/2, leading to increased H3K9me3 at these CpG island promoters. Blocking H3K18ub-dependent SUV39H1/2 activity enhances the efficacy of DNMT1 inhibitors. Collectively, these findings reveal a novel histone ubiquitination-methylation crosstalk mechanism that reinforces heterochromatin states in the absence of DNA methylation and proposes new strategies for improving cancer epigenetic therapy.
