Concerted SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase activities of TOPORS and RNF4 are essential for stress management and cell proliferation

ABSTRACT: Protein SUMOylation provides a principal driving force for cellular stress responses including DNA-protein crosslink (DPC) repair and arsenic-induced PML body degradation. In this study, using genome-scale screens, we identify the human E3 ligase TOPORS as a key effector of SUMO-dependent DPC resolution. We demonstrate that TOPORS promotes DPC repair by functioning as a SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL), combining ubiquitin ligase activity through its RING domain with poly-SUMO binding via SUMO-interacting motifs, analogous to the STUbL RNF4. Mechanistically, TOPORS is a SUMO1-selective STUbL that complements RNF4 in generating complex ubiquitin landscapes on SUMOylated targets including DPCs and PML, stimulating efficient p97/VCP unfoldase recruitment and proteasomal degradation. Combined loss of TOPORS and RNF4 is synthetic lethal even in unstressed cells, involving defective clearance of SUMOylated proteins from chromatin accompanied by cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Our findings establish TOPORS as a STUbL whose parallel action with RNF4 defines a general mechanistic principle in crucial cellular processes governed by direct SUMO-ubiquitin crosstalk.

Mechanism and function of DNA replication-independent DNA-protein crosslink repair via the SUMO pathway

Project description:DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) obstruct essential DNA transactions, posing a serious threat to genome stability and functionality. DPCs are proteolytically processed in a ubiquitin- and DNA replication-dependent manner by SPRTN or the proteasome but can also be resolved via targeted SUMOylation. However, the mechanistic basis of SUMO-mediated DPC resolution and its interplay with replication-coupled DPC repair pathways remain unknown. Here, we show that the SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase RNF4 defines a major pathway for ubiquitylation and proteasomal clearance of SUMOylated DPCs in a DNA replication-independent manner. In addition, we provide evidence that a subset of DPCs can be SUMOylated and processed via transcription, independently of RNF4. SUMO modification of DPCs is mediated by PIAS4 and neither stimulates nor inhibits their rapid DNA replication-dependent proteolysis. Instead, SUMOylation provides a critical salvage mechanism to remove DPCs formed or persisting after replication, as we demonstrate that DPCs on duplex DNA do not activate interphase DNA damage checkpoints. Consequently, in the absence of the SUMO-RNF4 pathway cells can enter mitosis with a high load of unresolved DPCs, leading to defective chromosome segregation and cell death. Collectively, these findings provide mechanistic insights into SUMO-driven pathways underlying replication-independent DPC resolution and highlight their critical importance in maintaining chromosome stability and cellular fitness.

Multiple Arkadia/RNF111 structures coordinate its Polycomb body association and transcriptional control

Project description:The RING domain protein Arkadia/RNF111 is a ubiquitin ligase in the transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) pathway. We previously identified Arkadia as a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-binding protein with clustered SUMO-interacting motifs (SIMs) that together form a SUMO-binding domain (SBD). However, precisely how SUMO interaction contributes to the function of Arkadia was not resolved. Through analytical molecular and cell biology, we found that the SIMs share redundant function with Arkadia's M domain, a region distinguishing Arkadia from its paralogs ARKL1/ARKL2 and the prototypical SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL) RNF4. The SIMs and M domain together promote both Arkadia's colocalization with CBX4/Pc2, a component of Polycomb bodies, and the activation of a TGFbeta pathway transcription reporter. Transcriptome profiling through RNA sequencing showed that Arkadia can both promote and inhibit gene expression, indicating that Arkadia's activity in transcriptional control may depend on the epigenetic context, defined by Polycomb repressive complexes and DNA methylation [Sun, Liu, and Hunter (2014) Mol Cell Biol 34(16):2981-2995]. To determine the role of Arkadia in TGFβ signaling at the transcriptome level, the profiles of TGFβ-stimulated gene expression were examined in Ark+/+ (Ark_WT), Ark-/- (Ark_null), and Arkadia (WT and sim mutant)-reconstituted Ark-/- MEFs. RNA sequencing was carried out using poly(A)-enriched RNA samples from unstimulated cells and cells treated with TGFβ for 1h, 4h, or 16h as indicated. Two batches of sequencing data for a total of 16 independent samples were submitted.

Identification of heat induced, RNF4 regulated ubiquitylation sites

Project description:Exposure of cells to heat or oxidative stress causes misfolding of proteins. To avoid toxic protein aggregation, cells have evolved nuclear and cytosolic protein quality control (PQC) systems. In response to proteotoxic stress cells also limit protein synthesis by triggering transient storage of mRNAs and RNA binding proteins (RBPs) in cytosolic stress granules (SGs). We demonstrate that the SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (StUbL) pathway, which is part of the nuclear proteostasis network, regulates SG dynamics. We provide evidence that inactivation of SUMO deconjugases under proteotoxic stress initiates SUMO-primed, RNF4-dependent ubiquitylation of RBPs that typically condense into SGs. Impairment of SUMO-primed ubiquitylation drastically delays SG resolution upon stress release. Importantly, the StUbL system regulates compartmentalization of an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-associated mutant of FUS in SGs. We propose that the StUbL system functions as surveillance pathway for aggregation-prone RBPs in the nucleus thereby linking the nuclear and cytosolic axis of proteotoxic stress response. Toidentify heat induced, RNF4 regulated ubiquitylation sites we performed an unbiased SILAC-based mass-spectrometry screen comparing heat-induced ubiquitylation in control and RNF4 depleted cells.

RNF4 interactome in heatshocked HeLa cells

To better understand the role of RNF4 in the proteotoxic stress response we aimed to identify RNF4-associated protein complexes in cells exposed to heat stress. To allow immuno-affinity purification of endogenous RNF4 on anti-Flag agarose beads we used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing to integrate a C-terminal 3xFlag epitope tag into the genomic locus of RNF4 in HeLa cells. For the IP-MS experiment HeLa-RNF4-3xFlag cells or parental untagged control cells were exposed to heat stress for 1 h and RNF4-3xFlag together with associated proteins was captured on anti-Flag affinity beads. Tryptic peptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS and data from three replicates were quantified by the Max Quant label-free quantification (LFQ) algorithm.

Slx5/Slx8-dependent ubiquitin hotspots on chromatin contribute to stress tolerance [Gene expression]

Project description:Chromatin is a highly regulated environment, and protein association with chromatin is often controlled by post-translational modifications and the corresponding enzymatic machinery. Specifically, SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligases (STUbLs) have emerged as key players in nuclear quality control, genome maintenance and transcription. However, how STUbLs select specific substrates amongst myriads of SUMOylated proteins on chromatin remains unclear. Here, we reveal a remarkable co-localization of the budding yeast STUbL Slx5/Slx8 and ubiquitin at seven genomic loci that we term ‘ubiquitin hotspots’. Ubiquitylation at these sites depends on Slx5/Slx8 and protein turnover on the Cdc48 segregase. We identify the transcription factor-like Ymr111c/Euc1 to associate with these sites and be a critical determinant of ubiquitylation. Euc1 specifically targets Slx5/Slx8 to ubiquitin hotspots via bipartite binding of Slx5 that involves the Slx5 SUMO-interacting motifs and an additional, novel substrate recognition domain. Interestingly, the Euc1-ubiquitin hotspot pathway acts redundantly with chromatin modifiers of the H2A.Z and Rpd3L pathways in specific stress responses. Thus, our data suggest that STUbL-dependent ubiquitin hotspots shape chromatin during stress adaptation.

Targeting of SUMO substrates to a Cdc48-Ufd1-Npl4 segregase and STUbL pathway in fission yeast

Project description:In eukaryotes, the conjugation of proteins to the small ubiquitin-like modifier SUMO regulates numerous cellular functions. A proportion of SUMO conjugates are targeted for degradation by SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligases (STUbLs) and it has been proposed that the ubiquitin-selective chaperone Cdc48/p97-Ufd1-Npl4 facilitates this process. However, the extent to which the two pathways overlap, and how the substrates are selected, remains unknown. Here, we address these questions in fission yeast through proteome-wide analyses of SUMO modification sites. We identify over a thousand sumoylated lysines in a total of 468 proteins and quantify changes occurring in the SUMO modification status when the STUbL or Ufd1 pathways are compromised by mutations. The data suggest the coordinated processing of several classes of SUMO conjugates, many dynamically associated with centromeres or telomeres. They provide new insights into subnuclear organization and chromosome biology, and, altogether, constitute an extensive resource for the molecular characterization of SUMO function and dynamics.
