Project description:Small ubiquitin-like modifiers (SUMOs) and ubiquitin are frequent post-translational modifications of proteins that play pivotal roles in all cellular processes. We previously reported mass spectrometry-based proteomics methods that enable profiling of lysines modified by endogenous SUMO or ubiquitin in an unbiased manner, without requiring genetic engineering. Here we investigated the applicability of precursor mass filtering enabled by MaxQuant.Live (MQL) to our SUMO and ubiquitin proteomics workflows, which efficiently avoided sequencing of precursors too small to be modified but otherwise indistinguishable by mass-to-charge ratio. Using peptide mass filtering, we achieved much higher precursor selectivity, ultimately resulting in up to 30% more SUMO and ubiquitin sites identified from replicate samples. Real-time ‘untargeting’ of unmodified peptides by MQL resulted in 90% SUMO-modified precursor selectivity from a 25% pure sample, demonstrating great applicability for digging deeper into ubiquitin-like modificomes. We adapted the mass filtering strategy to the new Exploris 480 mass spectrometer, achieving comparable gains in SUMO precursor selectivity and identification rates. Collectively, mass filtering via MQL significantly increased identification rates of SUMO- and ubiquitin-modified peptides from the exact same samples, without the requirement for prior knowledge or spectral libraries.

Project description:Reactive aldehydes are produced by normal cellular metabolism or after alcohol consumption, and accumulate in human tissues if aldehyde clearance mechanisms are impaired. Their toxicity has been attributed to the damage they cause to genomic DNA and the subsequent inhibition of transcription and replication. However, whether interference with other cellular processes contributes to aldehyde toxicity has not been investigated. We demonstrate that formaldehyde induces RNA–protein crosslinks (RPCs) that stall the ribosome and inhibit translation in human cells. RPCs in the messenger RNA are recognized by the translating ribosomes, marked by atypical K6-linked ubiquitylation catalyzed by the RING-in-Between-RING E3 ligase RNF14, and subsequently resolved by the ubiquitin- and ATP-dependent unfoldase VCP. Our findings uncover an evolutionary conserved formaldehyde-induced stress response pathway that protects cells against RPC accumulation in the cytoplasm, and suggest that RPCs contribute to the cellular and tissue toxicity of reactive aldehydes.

Project description:The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a conserved protein complex occurring in all eukaryotes. The mammalian CSN consists of eight subunits (CSN1 – CSN8) and possesses an intrinsic metalloprotease JAMM motif localised to CSN5. In addition, it is associated with kinases such as protein kinase CK2 and D and the ubiquitin (Ub) specific protease 15. It regulates cullin-RING Ub ligases (CRLs) that label proteins for proteolysis with poly-Ub chains in the Ub proteasome system (UPS). CRLs contain one of the scaffolding cullins 1 – 7, a RING domain protein e. g. Rbx1, and one of hundreds of substrate binding units such as F-box or BTB proteins that specifically target proteins for ubiquitination. The CSN forms functional supercomplexes with CRLs. It removes the Ub-like protein Nedd8 from cullins by its metalloprotease activity and thereby inactivates CRLs. On the other hand, it is essential for CRL function by protecting components and allowing reassembly of the complexes. As a regulator of the UPS the CSN is involved in cell cycle10, DNA repair and development. Overexpression of CSN subunits has been reported in tumour cells. Up to date nothing is known about CSN biogenesis and its regulation. Ten years ago we have observed that overexpression of selected CSN subunits caused a coordinated increase of all CSN subunits and a de novo biosynthesis of the entire complex. Here we show that overexpression of CSN1 mediates an increase of c-Myc which coordinates CSN subunit expression via microRNAs (miRNAs). miRNAs are evolutionarily conserved, endogenous, small, noncoding RNA molecules of about 22 nucleotides that function as posttranscriptional gene regulators. We found that inhibitors of let-7 family miRNAs or upregulation of c-Myc, which represses let-7 miRNAs, resulted in a coordinated increase of CSN subunits and de novo CSN biogenesis. Keywords: Gene expression analysis of human RNA samples using topic-defined PIQOR™ Ubiquitin-PS Microarrays. Two different platforms were used (these are two different microarray batches which are identical in terms of the spotted cDNAs, but differ in the position of some cDNAs) Gene expression analysis of Hela cells overexpressing either CSN2 or CSN1 was performed to study CSN biogenesis and its regulation. Curcumin, Nr. 8 (Curcumin analogon) and Piceatannol were used for the treatment of Hela cells since they inhibit the CSN associated kinases. The aim was to investigate the effect on the signalosome. For each treatment 50 µM Curcumin, Nr. 8 and Piceatannol were used.

Project description:The heat-shock response is a complex cellular program that induces major changes in protein translation, folding and degradation to alleviate toxicity caused by protein misfolding. While heat-shock has been widely used to study proteostasis, it remained unclear how misfolded proteins are targeted for proteolysis in these conditions. We found that Rsp5 and its mammalian homologue Nedd4 are the main E3-ligases responsible for the increased ubiquitination induced by heat-stress. We determined that Rsp5 ubiquitinates cytosolic misfolded proteins upon heat-shock for proteasome degradation. We found that ubiquitination of heat-induced substrates requires the Hsp40 co-chaperone Ydj1 that is further associated with Rsp5 upon heat-shock. Additionally, ubiquitination is also promoted by PY Rsp5-binding motifs found primarily in the structured regions of stress-induced substrates, which can act as heat-induced degrons. Our results support a bipartite recognition mechanism combining direct and chaperone-dependent ubiquitination of misfolded cytosolic proteins by Rsp5.

Project description:Conventional ubiquitination involves the ATP-dependent formation of amide bonds between the ubiquitin C-terminus and primary amines in substrate proteins. Recently, SdeA, an effector protein of pathogenic Legionella pneumophila, was shown to mediate NAD-dependent and ATP-independent ubiquitin transfer to host proteins. Yet, the molecular mechanism of this ubiquitination reaction and its relevance for cellular processes remained elusive. Here, we report the identification of a phosphodiesterase (PDE) domain in SdeA that efficiently catalyses arginine phosphoribosylation of ubiquitin via an ADP-ribose intermediate . The PDE domain also catalyzes a chemically and structurally distinct type of substrate ubiquitination by conjugating phosphoribosylated ubiquitin to serine residues of protein substrates via a phosphodiester bond. Furthermore, phosphoribosylation of ubiquitin prevents activation of E1 and E2 enzymes of the conventional ubiquitination cascade thereby diminishing numerous cellular processes including mitophagy, TNF signaling and proteasomal degradation. We propose that phosphoribosylation of ubiquitin is a potent modulator of ubiquitin functions in mammalian cells.

Project description:Arsenic contamination in food and ground water constitutes a public health concern to more than 100 million people worldwide. Individuals chronically exposed to arsenic through drinking and ingestion exhibit a higher risk in developing cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms of arsenic toxicity are not fully understood. Arsenite is known to bind to and deactivate RING finger E3 ubiquitin ligases; thus, we reason that a systematic interrogation about how arsenite exposure modulates global protein ubiquitination may reveal novel molecular targets for arsenic toxicity. By employing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, in combination with stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) and immunoprecipitation of di-glycine-conjugated lysine-containing tryptic peptides, we assessed the alterations in protein ubiquitination in GM00637 human skin fibroblast cells upon arsenite exposure at the entire proteome level. We observed that arsenite exposure led to altered ubiquitination of many proteins, where the alterations in a large majority of ubiquitination events are negatively correlated with changes in expression of the corresponding proteins, suggesting their modulation by the ubiquitin-proteasomal pathway. Moreover, we observed that arsenite exposure confers diminished ubiquitination of a rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis, HMGCR, at Lys248. In addition, we revealed that TRC8 is the major E3 ubiquitin ligase for HMGCR ubiquitination in HEK293T cells, and the arsenite-induced diminution of HMGCR ubiquitination is abrogated with depletion of TRC8. In summary, we systematically characterized arsenite-induced perturbations in ubiquitinated proteome in human cells, and found that the arsenite-elicited diminution of HMGCR ubiquitination involves TRC8.

Project description:WWP2 is a HECT E3 ligase that targets protein Lys residues for ubiquitination. As a member of the NEDD4 family of E3 ligases, WWP2 is comprised of an N-terminal C2 domain, four central WW domains, and a C-terminal catalytic HECT domain. The peptide segment between the middle WW domains, the 2,3-linker, can autoinhibit the catalytic domain and this can be relieved by phosphorylation at Tyr369. Several protein substrates of WWP2 have been identified, including the tumor suppressor lipid phosphatase PTEN, but the full substrate landscape and biological functions of WWP2 remain to be elucidated. Here we use protein microarray technology and the activated enzyme phosphomimetic mutant WWP2Y369E to identify potential WWP2 substrates. We identified 31 substrate hits for WWP2Y369E using protein microarrays of which three are the autophagy receptors, NDP52, OPTN, and SQSTM1. These three hits were validated with in vitro and cell-based transfection assays and the Lys ubiquitination sites on these proteins were mapped by mass spectrometry. Among the mapped ubiquitin sites on these autophagy receptors, many were previously identified in studies on the endogenous proteins. WWP2 knockout SH-SH5Y neuroblastoma cells using CRISPR-Cas9 showed a defect in mitophagy in a fashion that could be rescued by WWP2Y369E transfection. These studies suggest that WWP2-mediated ubiquitination of the autophagy receptors NDP52, OPTN, and SQSTM1 may positively contribute to the regulation of autophagy.

Project description:Viruses must effectively remodel host cellular pathways to replicate and evade immune defenses, and they must do so with limited genomic coding capacity. Targeting post-translational modification (PTM) pathways provides a mechanism by which viruses can broadly and rapidly transform a hostile host environment into a hospitable one. We used mass spectrometry-based proteomics to quantify changes in protein abundance and two PTM types – phosphorylation and ubiquitination – in response to HIV-1 infection with viruses harboring targeted deletions of a subset of HIV-1 genes. PTM analysis revealed a requirement for Aurora kinase activity in HIV-1 infection and identified substrates of a phosphatase that is degraded during infection. Finally, we demonstrated that the Cullin4A-DDB1-DCAF1 E3 ubiquitin ligase ubiquitinates histone H1 somatic isoforms and that the HIV-1 Vpr protein inhibits this process, leading to defects in DNA repair.

Project description:Regulation of protein output at the level of translation allows for a swift response to dynamic changes in the requirements of the cell. This is achieved by a complex set of biochemical processes that regulate protein synthesis and mRNA stability. A major factor coordinating this regulation is the Ccr4-Not complex. Despite playing a role in most stages of the mRNA life cycle, no attempt has been made to take a global integrated view of how the Ccr4-Not complex affects gene expression.
