USP7 substrates identified by proteomics analysis reveal the specificity of USP7 and its inhibitors

ABSTRACT: Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) remove ubiquitin chains from proteins and regulate protein stability and function. USP7 is one of the most compressively studied DUBs. Since USP7 has several well-known substrates important for cancer progression, such as MDM2, N-MYC and PTEN, USP7 becomes a promising drug target. However, systematic identification of USP7 substrates have not yet been performed. In this study, we carried out proteome profiling with label-free quantification using control and single/double KO cells of USP7 and its closest homolog USP47. Our proteome profiling for the first time reveal the proteome changes caused by USP7 and/or USP47 deletion. Combining protein profiling, transcriptome analysis and tandem-affinity purification of USP7-associated proteins, we compiled a list of 20 high-confidence USP7 substrates, which include known and novel USP7 substrates. We experimentally validated MGA and PHIP as new substrates of USP7. Further, we showed that MGA deletion partially phenocopied proliferation defect observed in cells with USP7 deletion. Additionally, we established that USP7 deletion repress interferon gamma response. Moreover, we showed that the cytotoxicity of USP7 inhibitors were independent of USP7. In conclusion, our study is the first proteome-wide analysis of potential USP7 substrates, which provides a resource for further functional studies.

USP7 represses lineage differentiation genes of mouse embryonic stem cells through both catalytic and non-catalytic activity

Project description:USP7, a ubiquitin-specific peptidase (USP), plays an important role in many cellular processes through its catalytic deubiquitination of various substrates. However, its nuclear function to regulate gene expression in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) remains largely unknown. Here, we report that USP7 maintains mESCs identity through both catalytic activity-dependent and -independent repression of lineage differentiation genes. Usp7 depletion attenuates SOX2 level and derepresses lineage differentiation genes thereby compromising mESCs identity. Mechanistically, USP7 deubiquitinates and stabilizes SOX2 to repress mesoendodermal (ME) lineage genes. Moreover, USP7 assembles into RYBP-variant polycomb repressive complex 1 (vPRC1) and contributes to Polycomb chromatin domain-mediated repression of ME lineage genes in a catalytic activity-dependent manner. However, USP7 deficient in its deubiquitination function is able to maintain RYBP binding on chromatin to represses primitive endoderm-associated genes in mESCs. Overall, our study demonstrates that USP7 harbors both catalytic and non-catalytic scaffold activity to repress lineage differentiation genes thereby revealing a previously unrecognized role in controlling gene expression and maintaining mESCs identity.

USP7 represses lineage differentiation genes in mouse embryonic stem cells by both catalytic and non-catalytic activity

Project description:USP7, a ubiquitin-specific peptidase (USP), plays an important role in many cellular processes through its catalytic deubiquitination of various substrates. However, its nuclear function to shape the transcriptional network in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) remains poorly understood. Here, we report that USP7 maintains mESCs identity through both catalytic activity-dependent and -independent repression of lineage differentiation genes. Usp7 depletion attenuates SOX2 level and derepresses lineage differentiation genes thereby compromising mESCs pluripotency. Mechanistically, USP7 deubiquitinates and stabilizes SOX2 to repress mesoendodermal (ME) lineage genes. Moreover, USP7 assembles into RYBP-variant Polycomb repressive complex 1 and contributes to Polycomb chromatin-mediated repression of ME lineage genes in a catalytic activity-dependent manner. Importantly, USP7 deficient in its deubiquitination function is able to maintain RYBP binding to chromatin for repressing primitive endoderm-associated genes. Overall, our study demonstrates that USP7 harbors both catalytic and non-catalytic activity to repress different lineage differentiation genes thereby revealing a previously unrecognized role in controlling gene expression for maintaining mESCs identity.

RNA-seq analysis after Ssrp1 knockout or Usp7 depletion in embryonic stem cells

Project description:Endogenous retrovirus MERVL is specifically expressed in a minority of embryonic stem cells. To determine the restrain mechanism of MERVL, we knocked out Ssrp1 and analyzed the effect on the expression of transposable elements and coding genes. Ssrp1 further interacts with ubiquitin specific protease Usp7. We knocked down usp7 and analyzed the effect on the expression of MERVL. It turns out the deletion of ssrp1 or usp7 would lead to upregulation of MERVL. This study extends our understandings of the machanism by novel factors regulates MERVL.

Quantitative K-GG site analysis

Project description:Post-translational modification of proteins by ubiquitin (UQ) and UQ-like modifiers is emerging as a central pathway in DNA replication. We previously showed that chromatin in the vicinity of replisomes is rich in SUMO and depleted in UQ, whereas an opposite pattern is observed in mature chromatin. How this SUMO-rich/UQ-low environment is maintained at replisomes is not known. Here we identify USP7 as a SUMO deubiquitinase that localizes to replication forks and is essential for DNA replication. By acting on SUMO and SUMOylated proteins, USP7 prevents their ubiquitination. Chemical inhibition or genetic deletion of USP7 leads to the accumulation of UQ on SUMOylated proteins, which are displaced from the replisomes. Our findings provide a model to explain the differential accumulation of SUMO and UQ in replication forks versus mature chromatin, and identify an essential role of USP7 that should be taken into account for the use of USP7 inhibitors as anticancer agents.

Genome-wide maps of chromatin state in A375 cells or in normal or USP7 knockdown A375 cells .

Project description:ChIP-seq experiments were performed in normal or USP7 knockdown A375 cells with specific antibodies against USP7, EZH2, H3K27me3 and H2BK120ub1. Consistent with our expectations, the analysis of ChIP-seq data showed that USP7 loss-of-function led to obviously reduction in USP7, EZH2 and H3K27me3 around the USP7-specific peaks, but an upregulation in H2BK120ub1. This study gave us a new understanding that USP7 is required for EZH2 loading and H3K27 trimethylation.

Ultra-deep and time-resolved in vivo ubiquitinome profiling by DIA-MS reveals USP7 targets on a proteome-wide scale

Project description:By simultaneously capturing thousands of ubiquitination sites, mass spectrometry (MS)-based ubiquitinomics provides system-level understanding of ubiquitin signaling. Here we present a scalable workflow for deep and precise in vivo ubiquitinome profiling, coupling an improved sample preparation protocol with data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry and neural network-based data processing, specifically optimized for ubiquitinomics. Compared to data-dependent acquisition (DDA), our method more than triples the number of quantified ubiquitinated peptides, to 70,000 identifications in single LC-MS runs. At the same time, it significantly improves robustness and quantification precision, thus for the first time enabling large-scale ubiquitinomics screens. We further report a novel strategy for capturing targets of deubiquitinases (DUBs), by simultaneously recording the dynamics of the ubiquitinome and the proteome and at high temporal resolution upon enzyme inhibition. Applying it to the anticancer target USP7, we accurately time ubiquitination and consequent changes in abundance of more than 8,000 proteins, thereby mapping novel putative USP7 targets. We show a strikingly fast modulation of the ubiquitinome when inhibiting USP7 and discover hundreds of ubiquitination sites that are regulated within minutes. Yet only a small fraction of those are degraded, thus dissecting the degradative and non-degradative scope of USP7 action. Mapping the impact of different USP7 inhibitors on the ubiquitinome, we observe substantial overlap of their signatures, but also marked differences. Our method enables for the first time to rapidly profile the mode-of-action of candidate drugs targeting DUBs or ubiquitin ligases at an unprecedented depth.

Reduced representative bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) analysis for a genome-wide comparison of DNA methylation in wild-type, USP7-KO-1, DNMT3A/3B-DKO and DNMT3A/DNMT3B/USP7-TKO HeLa cell lines.

Project description:To better characterize the effects of USP7 on DNA methylation, we performed reduced representative bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) analysis for a genome-wide comparison of DNA methylation in wild-type, USP7-KO-1, DNMT3A/3B-DKO and DNMT3A/DNMT3B/USP7-TKO HeLa cell lines. RRBS analysis showed increased DNA methylation in USK7-KO cells and loss of USP7 elevates DNA methylation on pre-existing sites and de novo methylation.

Proteomics-based identification of DUBsubstrates using selective inhibitors

Project description:Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) catalyze the removal of ubiquitin, thereby reversing the activity of E3 ubiquitin ligases and are central to the control of protein abundance and function. Despite the growing interest in DUBs as therapeutic targets, cellular functions for DUBs remain largely unknown and technical challenges often preclude the identification of DUB substrates in a comprehensive manner. Here we demonstrate that recently developed potent DUB inhibitors coupled to mass spectrometry-based proteomics can identify DUB substrates at a proteome-wide scale. We applied this methodology to USP7, a DUB widely investigated as a therapeutic target and identified novel substrates. We demonstrate that USP7 substrates are enriched for DNA repair enzymes and E3 ubiquitin ligases. This work provides not only a comprehensive annotation of USP7 substrates, but a general methodology widely applicable to other DUBs, which is critical for translational development of DUB targeted agents.
