A photo-crosslink approach to identify class II SUMO binders

ABSTRACT: The small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) is involved in various cellular processes and mediates known non-covalent protein-protein interactions by three distinct binding surfaces, whose interactions are termed class I to class III. While interactors for the class I interaction, which involves binding of a SUMO-interacting motif (SIM) to a hydrophobic groove in SUMO-1 and SUMO-2/3, are widely abundant, only a couple of examples have been reported for the other two types of interactions. Class II binding is conveyed by the E67 loop region on SUMO-1. Many previous studies to identify SUMO binders using pull-down or microarray approaches did not strategize on the SUMO binding mode. Identification of SUMO binding partners is further complicated due to the typically transient and low affinity interactions with the modifier. Here we aimed to identify SUMO binders selectively enriched for class II binding. Using a genetically encoded photo-crosslinker approach, we have designed SUMO-1 probes to covalently capture class II SUMO interactors by strategically positioning the photo crosslinking moiety on the SUMO-1 surface. The probes were validated using known class II and class I binding partners. We utilized the probe with p-benzoyl-phenylalanine (BzF, also termed BpF or Bpa) at the position of Gln69 to identify binding proteins from mammalian cell extracts using mass spectrometry. By comparison with results obtained with a similarly designed SUMO-1 probe to target SIM-mediated binders of the class I type, we identified 192 and 96 proteins specifically enriched by either probe, respectively. The implicated preferential class I or class II binding modes of these proteins will further contribute to unveiling the complex interplay of SUMO-mediated interactions.

Project description:Proximity-dependent labelling (PL) methods are based on promiscuous labeling enzymes that produce reactive molecules that covalently bind neighbor proteins. Labeled proteins can be then purified and identified using affinity-purification coupled to mass spectrometry methods39. Proximity-dependent biotin identification (BioID)40 uses a promiscuously active Escherichia coli biotin ligase (BirA*) generated by a point mutation (R118G) to biotinylate lysines in nearby proteins within an estimated range of 10 nm41. By fusing BirA* to specific proteins, BioID efficiently identifies interactors at physiological levels in living cells42, 43. It has been extensively used in the Ub field, for instance, to identify substrates of E3 ligases44-46. Recently, a more efficient version of BioID, termed TurboID, has been developed47. TurboID can proximally biotinylate in 10 minutes to the same levels as BioID does in 18 hours, thus making it more suitable for transient protein-protein interaction (PPI) detection. Several studies have developed split-versions and applied “protein fragment complementation” (PCA) to BioID and TurboID, where proximal biotinylation is dependent on the proximity of the fusion partners, opening new opportunities for spatial and temporal identification of complex-dependent interactomes48-50. To study how SUMOylation and SUMO-SIM interactions can lead to other roles and fates for particular substrates poses particular challenges. SUMOylation occurs transiently and often in a small percentage of a given substrate. Modified proteins can be readily deSUMOylated and SUMO can be recycled and passed to other substrates. SUMO-SIM interactions are also difficult to analyze due to their weak affinity (Kd ranging from 1-100 µM). To overcome those technical issues, we developed SUMO-ID, a new strategy based on Split-TurboID to identify SUMO- interactors of specific substrates dependent on SUMO conjugation or interaction. Using PML as a model, we demonstrate that SUMO-ID can enrich for factors that depend on PML-SUMO interaction. Importantly, those are represented among proximal interactors of PML identified using full-length TurboID. We also applied SUMO-ID to a less-characterized SUMO substrate, Spalt like transcription factor 1 (SALL1), and identified both known and novel interactors that depend on intact SUMOylation sites in SALL1. SUMO-ID is thus a powerful tool to study transient and dynamic SUMO-dependent interaction events.
