Project description:Transcriptome analysis by RNA-seq of lungs from control and Rfwd2 epithelial-specific conditional knockout mice at embryonic 13.5 day age. RFWD2, is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that modifies specific target proteins, priming their degradation via the ubiquitin proteasome system. Rfwd2 deficiency led to a striking halt in branching morphogenesis shortly after secondary branch formation. In the mutant lung, two ETS transcript factors essential for normal lung branching, ETV4 and ETV5, were upregulated at the protein, but not transcript level. Introduction of Etv loss-of-function alleles into the Rfwd2 mutant background attenuated the branching phenotype, suggesting that RFWD2 functions at least in part through degrading ETV proteins. As a number of E3 ligases are known to target factors important for lung development, our findings provides a preview of a protein-level regulatory network essential for lung branching morphogenesis.

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.

Project description:Primary and secondary hypertension are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Elevated secretion of aldosterone resulting from primary aldosteronism (PA) is a key driver of secondary hypertension. Here, we identify an unexpected role for the ubiquitin ligase Siah1 in adrenal gland development and PA. Siah1a-/- mice exhibit altered adrenal gland morphology, as reflected by dysregulated zonation of the glomerulosa, increased aldosterone levels and aldosterone target gene expression, and reduced plasma potassium levels. Genes involved in catecholamine biosynthesis and cAMP signaling are upregulated in the adrenal glands of Siah1a-/- mice, while genes related to retinoic acid signaling and cholesterol biosynthesis are downregulated. Loss of Siah1 leads to increased expression of PIAS1, an E3 SUMO-protein ligase implicated in the suppression of LXR. Notably, SIAH1 sequence variants which impaired SIAH1 ubiquitin ligase activity, resulting in elevated PIAS1 expression, were identified in patients with PA. The involvement of Siah1–PIAS1 in adrenal gland organization and function points to a possible new therapeutic target for hyperaldosteronism.

Project description:Auxin critically regulates nearly every aspect of plant growth and development. Auxin-driven transcriptional responses are mediated through the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) family of transcription factors. Although ARF protein stability is regulated via the 26S proteasome, molecular mechanisms underlying ARF stability and turnover are unknown. Here, we report the identification and functional characterization of an F-Box E3 ubiquitin ligase, which we have named AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR F-BOX1 (AFF1). AFF1 directly interacts with ARF19 and regulates its accumulation. Mutants defective in AFF1 display ARF19 protein hyperaccumulation, mild auxin resistance, and developmental defects. Together, our data suggest a new mechanism, namely control of ARF protein stability, in regulating auxin responsiveness.

Project description:The tumor suppressor P53 plays critical roles in prohibiting cancer. P53 is rarely mutated and still functional in luminal types of breast cancer. According to current knowledge, wild type P53 function is tightly controlled by post-translational modification, such as ubiquitination. Several ubiquitin ligases were shown to regulate P53 ubiquitination and protein stability. Here, we report RNF187, a RING family ubiquitin ligase, facilitates breast cancer growth and inhibits apoptosis via modulating P53 signaling. RNF187 is elevated in breast cancer and correlates with breast cancer survival only in P53 wild type groups. The bio-informatics analysis shows that RNF187 negatively correlates P53 target gene expression, such as IGFBP3 and FAS in breast cancer. RNF187 depletion inhibits breast cancer growth and facilitates cell death. RNA sequencing analysis indicates that RNF187 could be an important modifier for P53 signaling. Further experiments show that RNF187 interacts with P53 and promotes P53 degradation via facilitating P53 poly-ubiquitination in breast cancer cells. Interesting, the in vitro ubiquitin assay shows that RNF187 could directly ubiquitinate P53, which is independent of MDM2. These finding reveals a novel direct P53 regulator and a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are regulated to keep the balance between self-renewal and differentiation. However, little is known about post-translational regulations in HSCs. In this study, we characterize the role of DDB1, a component of the Cul4A-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, in HSCs and progenitors by using conditional DDB1 knockout models. We show that the maintenance and differentiation of both adult and fetal HSCs and progenitor cells is dependent on DDB1 function. Deletion of DDB1 alters cell cycle progression and induces apoptosis. Furthermore, deletion of DDB1 in developing thymocytes had no effects on T cell differentiation, whereas DDB1-deficient peripheral T cells were not able to enter cell cycle when stimulated in vitro. In addition, DDB1 is essential for T cell leukemia initiation. Our results reveal that DDB1 is required for adult and fetal hematopoiesis as it controls progenitor and stem cell homeostasis. Transcriptional consequences of inactivating DDB1 in fetal LSK cells. Four samples were analyzed: wild-type (WT) control and DDB1-deficient (DDB1) Lin-ckit+Sca1+ (LSK) cells sorted from fetal livers E16.5 of DDB1 flox/flox, VavCre+ and control mice.

Project description:The RING E3 ubiquitin ligase UHRF1 controls DNA methylation through its ability to target the maintenance DNA methyltransferase DNMT1 to newly replicated chromatin. DNMT1 recruitment relies on ubiquitylation of histone H3 by UHRF1, however, how UHRF1 deposits ubiquitin onto the histone is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the ubiquitin-like domain (UBL) of UHRF1 is essential for RING-mediated H3 ubiquitylation. Using chemical crosslinking and mass spectrometry, biochemical assays and recombinant chromatin substrates we show that the UBL participates in structural rearrangements of UHRF1 upon binding to chromatin and the E2 ubiquitin conjugating enzyme UbcH5a/UBE2D1. Similar to ubiquitin, the UBL exerts its effects through a hydrophobic patch that contacts a regulatory surface on the “backside” of the E2 to stabilise the E2-E3-chromatin complex. Our analysis of the enzymatic mechanism of UHRF1 uncovers an unexpected function of the UBL-domain and defines a new role for this domain in DNMT1-dependent inheritance of DNA methylation.

Project description:Current models imply that the FERM domain protein Merlin, encoded by the tumor suppressor NF2, inhibits mitogenic signaling at or near the plasma membrane. Here, we show that the closed, growth inhibitory form of Merlin accumulates in the nucleus, binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4DCAF1, and suppresses its activity. Depletion of DCAF1 blocks the promitogenic effect of inactivation of Merlin. Conversely, enforced expression of a Merlin-insensitive mutant of DCAF1 counteracts the antimitogenic effect of Merlin. Re-expression of Merlin and silencing of DCAF1 induce a similar, tumor-suppressive program of gene expression. Tumor-derived mutations invariably disrupt Merlinâs ability to interact with or inhibit CRL4DCAF1. Finally, depletion of DCAF1 inhibits the hyperproliferation of Schwannoma cells from NF2 patients and suppresses the oncogenic potential of Merlin-deficient tumor cell lines. We propose that Merlin suppresses tumorigenesis by translocating to the nucleus to inhibit CRL4DCAF1. To examine if Merlin controls gene expression through inhibition of CRL4DCAF1, and define the general function of this ligase, we compared the gene expression program activated by expression of Merlin or by depletion of DCAF1 in Merlin-null FC-1801 mouse Schwannoma cells
