Substrate identification and specificity profiling of deubiquitylases against endogenously-generated ubiquitin-protein conjugates

ABSTRACT: Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) remove ubiquitin from proteins thereby regulating their stability or activity. Our understanding of DUB-substrate specificity is limited because DUBs are typically not compared to each other against many physiological substrates. By broadly inhibiting DUBs in Xenopus egg extract, we generated hundreds of ubiquitylated proteins and compared the ability of 30 DUBs to deubiquitylate them using quantitative proteomics. We identified five high impact DUBs (USP7, USP9X, USP36, USP15 and USP24) that each reduced ubiquitylation of over ten percent of the isolated proteins. Candidate substrates of high impact DUBs showed substantial overlap and were enriched for disordered regions, suggesting this feature may promote substrate recognition. Other DUBs showed lower impact and non-overlapping specificity, targeting distinct non-disordered proteins including complexes such as the ribosome or the proteasome. Altogether our study identifies candidate DUB substrates and defines patterns of functional redundancy and specificity, revealing substrate characteristics that may influence DUB-substrate recognition.

Proteomics of broad deubiquitylase inhibition unmasks redundant enzyme function to reveal substrates and assess enzyme specificity

Project description:Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) counteract ubiquitylation to control stability or activity of substrates. Identification of DUB substrates is challenging because multiple DUBs can act on the same substrate, thwarting genetic approaches. Here, we circumvent redundancy by chemically inhibiting multiple DUBs simultaneously in Xenopus egg extract. We discovered a set of proteins that depends on DUBs for their stability and we confirmed their DUB-dependent regulation with human orthologs, demonstrating evolutionary conservation. We next extended this approach, developing a new method to profile DUB specificity. By adding recombinant DUBs to extract where DUB activity was broadly inhibited, but ubiquitylation and degradation were active at physiological rates, we profiled the ability of DUBs to rescue degradation of these new substrates. We found that USP7 has a unique ability to broadly antagonize their degradation. Together, we identify novel DUB substrates and present an approach to characterize DUB specificity that overcomes challenges posed by DUB redundancy.

Unmasking functional redundancy of deubiquitylases enables specificity profiling and discovery of novel proteasome substrates

Project description:Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) counteract ubiquitylation to control the stability or activity of their substrates. Identifying DUB substrates is challenging and genetic approaches can be thwarted by redundant action of DUBs. Here, we circumvented redundancy by broadly inhibiting DUBs in Xenopus egg extract and used quantitative mass spectrometry to identify over thirty proteins that undergo proteasomal degradation, the majority of which have not been reported as DUB substrates. These results were confirmed with recombinant human proteins, demonstrating the conservation of their DUB-dependent stability. We used these substrates to profile the ability of a panel of DUBs to rescue degradation. This approach revealed that USP7, uniquely among the 14 DUBs tested, has a broad ability to rescue degradation. USP21, which is used widely to nonspecifically deubiquitylate proteins in vitro, was unable to rescue degradation, highlighting the importance of profiling enzyme activity in a physiological system. Together, we identify new DUB substrates and present a system to characterize physiological DUB specificity, overcoming the challenges posed by DUB redundancy.

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.

Deubiquitinating enzyme mutagenesis screens identify a USP43 driven HIF-1 transcriptional response [CRISPR]

Project description:The ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated degradation of Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIFs) is central to metazoan oxygen-sensing, but the involvement of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) in HIF signalling is less clear. Here, using a bespoke DUBs sgRNA library we conduct CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis screens to determine how DUBs are involved in HIF signalling. Alongside defining DUBs involved in HIF activation or suppression, we identify USP43 as a DUB required for efficient activation of a HIF response. USP43 is hypoxia regulated and selectively associates with the HIF-1 isoform, and while USP43 does not alter HIF-1 stability, it facilitates HIF-1 nuclear accumulation and binding to its target genes. Mechanistically, USP43 associates with 14-3-3 proteins in a hypoxia-dependent manner to increase the nuclear pool of HIF-1, independently of DUB activity. Together, our results unveil the DUB landscape in HIF signalling, and highlight the multifunctionality of DUBs, illustrating that they can provide important signalling roles outside of their catalytic activity.

Electrophile scanning by chemical prote-omics reveals a potent pan-active DUB probe for investigation of deubiquitinase activity in live cells

Project description:Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are proteases that hydrolyze isopeptide bonds linking ubiquitin to protein substrates, which can lead to reduced substrate degradation through the ubiquitin proteasome system. Deregulation of DUB activity has been im-plicated in many disease states, including cancer, neurodegeneration and inflammation, making them potentially attractive targets for therapeutic intervention. The >100 known DUB enzymes have been classified primarily by their conserved active sites, but we are still building our understanding of their substrate profiles, localization and regulation of DUB activity in di-verse contexts. Ubiquitin-derived covalent activity-based probes (ABPs) are the premier tool for DUB activity profiling, but their large recognition element impedes cellular permeability and presents an unmet need for small molecule ABPs which account for local DUB concentration, protein interactions, complexes, and organelle compartmentalization in intact cells or organisms. Here, through comprehensive warhead profiling we identify cyanopyrrolidine (CNPy) probe IMP-2373 (12), a small molecule pan-DUB ABP to monitor DUB activity in physiologically relevant live cell systems. Through chemical prote-omics and targeted assays we demonstrate that IMP-2373 quantitatively engages more than 35 DUBs in live cells across a range of non-toxic concentrations, and in diverse cell lines and disease models, including induction of MYC deregulation in B cell lymphoma. IMP-2373 thus offers a complementary tool to ubiquitin ABPs to monitor dynamic DUB activity in the con-text of disease-relevant phenotypes.
