Project description:The assembly of a specific polymeric ubiquitin (Ub) chain on a target protein is a key event in the regulation of numerous cellular processes. Yet, the mechanisms that govern the selective synthesis of particular polyubiquitin signals remain enigmatic. The ubiquitin-conjugating (E2) enzymes Ubc1 in yeast and Ube2K in mammals exclusively generate polyubiquitin linked through lysine 48 (K48). Uniquely among E2 enzymes, Ubc1 and Ube2K harbor a Ub binding UBA domain with unknown function. We found that this UBA domain preferentially interacts with Ub chains linked through lysine 63 (K63). Based on structural modeling, in vitro ubiquitination experiments and NMR studies, we propose that the UBA domain aligns Ubc1 with K63-linked polyubiquitin and facilitates the selective assembly of K48/K63-branched Ub molecules. Genetic experiments link the activity of the UBA domain and hence the formation of this unusual Ub chain topology to the maintenance of cellular proteostasis.

Project description:Unanchored polyubiquitin chains are emerging as important regulators of cellular physiology with diverse roles paralleling those of substrate-conjugated polyubiquitin. However tools able to discriminate unanchored polyubiquitin chains of different isopeptide linkages have not been described. We describe the design of a linker-optimised ubiquitin-binding domain hybrid (t-UBD) containing two UBDs, a ZnF-UBP domain in tandem with a linkage-selective UBA domain, which exploits avidity effects to afford selective recognition of unanchored Lys48-linked polyubiquitin chains. Utilising native MS to quantitatively probe binding affinities we confirm cooperative binding of the UBDs within the synthetic protein, and desired binding specificity for Lys48-linked ubiquitin dimers. Furthermore MS/MS analyses indicate that the t-UBD, when applied as an affinity enrichment reagent, can be used to favour the purification of endogenous unanchored Lys48-linked polyubiquitin chains from mammalian cell extracts. Our study indicates that strategies for the rational design and engineering of polyubiquitin chain-selective binding in non-biological polymers are possible, paving the way for the generation of reagents to probe unanchored polyubiquitin chains of different linkages and more broadly the â??ubiquitomeâ??.

Project description:The mitochondrial kinase PINK1 and the cytosolic ubiquitin ligase (E3) Parkin is involved in mitochondrial quality control. PINK1, which phosphorylates ubiquitin at serine 65 residue and the ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain of Parkin at serine 65 residue, promotes the Parkin activation and translocation to damaged mitochondria. When Parkin is activated, the Ubl domain are ubiquitinated at lysine 27 (K27) and lysine 48 (K48) residues. It remains unclear whether K27/K48 ubiquitination contributes to Parkin activity. In this study, we blocked the ubiquitination of K27 and/or K48 residues to examine the effects of the Parkin Ubl ubiquitination in Drosophila. Parkin replaced K27 with arginine (K27R) rescued the lethality of flies by PINK1 and Parkin co-expression whereas K48 replacement with arginine did not. Parkin K27R exhibited less ability of mitochondrial fragmentation and mitochondrial arrest, which are mediated by the degradation of Parkin E3 substrates Mitofusin and Miro, respectively. The pathogenic K27N Parkin, unlike K27R Parkin, was found to be completely devoid of E3 activity, suggesting not only that K27N Parkin is not ubiquitin-modified at the K27 residue but also that the structure of the Ubl domain itself is largely affected. Ubiquitin attached to the K27 residue of the Ubl domain during PINK1-mediated Parkin activation was likely to be phosphorylated because K27R Parkin showed less ability of Parkin self-association upon the reduction of the mitochondrial membrane potential. Our study suggests a new Parkin activation mechanism where an activating complex for Parkin is formed through phospho-ubiquitin attached to the K27 residue of the Ubl domain.

Project description:To investigate the DNA-binding property of homeodomain-like domain of Plasmodium berghei HDP1, DNA immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (DIP-seq) analysis were performed. Recombinant homeodomain-like domain fused with glutathione S-transferase were mixed with the P. berghei genomic DNA fragmented via sonication, and protein-DNA complex was harvested using glutathione-sepharose resin. The obtained DNA fragments were sequenced via the next generation sequencing.

Project description:Protein ubiquitylation is an important posttranslational modification that governs most cellular processes. Signaling functions of ubiquitylation are very diverse and involve proteolytic as well as nonproteolytic events, such as localization, regulation of protein interactions, and control of protein activity. The intricacy of ubiquitin signaling is further complicated by several different polyubiquitin chain types that are likely recognized and interpreted by different protein readers. For example, K48-linked ubiquitin chains represent the most abundant chain topology and are the canonical degradation signals, but have been implicated in degradation-independent functions as well, likely requiring a variety of protein readers. Ubiquitin binding domains that interact with polyubiquitin chains are likely at the center of ubiquitin signal recognition and transmission, but their structure and selectivity are largely unexplored. Here we report identification and characterization of the ubiquitin interacting motif-like (UIML) domain of the yeast transcription factor Met4 as a strictly K48-polyubiquitin specific binding unit using methods such as biolayer interferometry (BLI), pull-down assays, and mass spectrometry. We further used the selective binding property to develop an affinity probe for purification of proteins modified with K48-linked polyubiquitin chains. The affinity probe has a Kd = 100 nM for K48 tetra-ubiquitin and shows no detectable interaction with either monoubiquitin or any other polyubiquitin chain configuration. Our results define a short strictly K48-linkage-dependent binding motif and present a new affinity reagent for the K48-polyubiquitin-modified proteome. Our findings benefit the ubiquitin field in analyses of the role of K48-linked polyubiquitylation and increase our understanding of chain topology selective ubiquitin chain recognition.

Project description:A variety of self-interacting domains, defined at different levels of resolution, have been described in mammalian genomes. These include Chromatin Compartments (A and B), Topologically Associated Domains (TADs), contact domains, sub-TADs, insulated neighborhoods and frequently interacting regions (FIREs). Whereas many studies have found the organisation of self-interacting domains to be conserved across cell types, some do form in a lineage-specific manner. However, it is not clear to what degree such tissue-specific structures result from processes related to gene activity such as enhancer-promoter interactions or whether they form earlier during lineage commitment and are therefore likely to be prerequisite for promoting gene expression. To examine these models of genome organisation in detail, we used a combination of high-resolution chromosome conformation capture, a newly-developed form of quantitative fluorescence in-situ hybridisation and super-resolution imaging to study a 70 kb self-interacting domain containing the mouse alpha-globin locus. To understand how this self-interacting domain is established, we studied this structure when the genes are inactive and during erythroid differentiation when the genes are progressively switched on. In contrast to many current models of long-range gene regulation, we show that an erythroid-specific, decompacted self-interacting domain, delimited by convergent CTCF/cohesin binding sites, forms prior to the onset of robust gene expression. Using previously established mouse models we also show that formation of the self-interacting domain does not rely on interactions between the alpha-globin genes and their enhancers or on tissue-specific changes in CTCF binding. Rather, formation of the domain simply depends on the presence of activated lineage-specific cis-elements driving a transcription-independent mechanism for opening chromatin throughout the 70 kb region to create a permissive environment for gene expression. These findings are consistent with a model of loop-extrusion in which all segments of chromatin within a region delimited by CTCF boundary elements contact each other. Our findings suggest that activation of tissue-specific element(s) within such a self-interacting region is sufficient to influence all chromatin within such a domain.
