HECTD3 is a small HECT E3 ligase with unique features

ABSTRACT: HECT E3 ligases regulate many cellular processes, yet how they recognise their substrates and synthesise specific types of poly-ubiquitin chains is still incompletely understood. HECTD3, a member of the “other HECT” family, is implicated in the regulation of inflammation, apoptosis, and infection and highly expressed in several cancers. These functions are largely attributed to its ligase activity and modification of diverse substrates with different types of ubiquitin chains. We present a detailed analysis of the ligase activity of HECTD3, including its ubiquitin linkage preferences, oligomeric state and substrate ubiquitination. Using cryo-EM, we provide the first full-length structures of HECTD3 in both apo and ubiquitin-loaded forms, revealing key insights into its domain organisation, including discovery of a novel fold of the N-terminal region, and mechanistic features. Some of these are shared with other HECT ligases, while others are unique to HECTD3, offering new perspectives on its catalytic mechanisms and functional diversity.

The V-ATPase/ATG16L1 axis is controlled by the V1H subunit

Project description:Defects in organellar acidification indicate compromised or infected compartments. Recruitment of the autophagy-related ATG16L1 complex to pathologically de-acidified compartments targets ubiquitin-like ATG8 molecules to perturbed membranes. How this process is coupled to pH gradient disruption is unclear. Here, we reveal a direct role for the V1H subunit of the V-ATPase proton pump in recruiting ATG16L1. The interaction between V1H and ATG16L1 occurs within assembled V-ATPases, but not dissociated V1 complexes. This selectivity allows recruitment to be coupled to changes in V-ATPase assembly that follow pH dissipation. Cells lacking V1H undergo canonical macroautophagy but are unable to recruit ATG16L1 in response to influenza infection, STING activation or ionophore drugs. We identify a loop within V1H that mediates ATG16L1 binding, which is absent in a neuronal isoform of V1H. Thus, V1H controls ATG16L1 recruitment in response to proton gradient dissipation, suggesting that the V-ATPase acts autonomously as a cell-intrinsic damage sensor.

The genetic and biochemical basis of human leading strand synthesis

Project description:The maintenance of genome stability requires efficient leading strand synthesis by DNA Polymerase Epsilon (Pol). By performing CRISPR genetic screens in cells lacking the POLE4 subunit of Pol we define a genetic map of the factors required to support Pol function in the absence of its accessory subunits. A set of genes involved in iron metabolism emerge as required to sustain Iron Sulphur Cluster (ISC)-dependent Pol activity. We then dissect a synthetic lethal interaction between POLE3-POLE4 and the CHTF18-RFC2/5 complex. By combining cell biology, structural modelling and biochemistry, we define the existence of two tiers of regulation of Pol processivity: leading strand-specific loading of PCNA by CHTF18-RFC2/5 and “gripping” of newly synthesised dsDNA by POLE3-POLE4. The combined loss of these functions is incompatible with leading strand synthesis and viability. In summary, we describe the biochemical basis of human leading strand synthesis and the consequence of its dysfunction in genome stability.

Salicylic acid-induced gene expression in wild-type Col-0 and mutant upl1, upl5, and npr1-1 Arabidopsis thaliana plants

Project description:The plant immune hormone salicylic acid (SA) modulates transcriptional reprogramming via controlling the master transcriptional coactivator, NPR1. Here we examined the role of HECT-type ubiquitin ligases, UPL1 and UPL5, in SA/NPR1-dependent transcriptional control. We showed that UPL1 and UPL5 are essential regulators of SA-responsive genes, and regulate SA-induced transcriptional reprogramming in a NPR1-dependent manner. Four-week old Arabidopsis thaliana plants of wild-type Col-0, mutant upl1, mutant upl5, and mutant npr1-1 genotypes were germinated on soil in 100% relative humidity. Plants were continuously grown in an environmental chamber with 16/8 hour day/night light regime (120 mol m-2 s-1 light intensity), 21/18 degrees celcius day/night cycle and 65% relative humidity. 4-week-old plants were sprayed with water or 0.5 mM SA until all leaves were thoroughly covered with fine droplets, samples were collected after 24 hours treatment. In total two independent biological repeats were collected.

Dynamic profiling of the protein life cycle in response to pathogens (protein)

Project description:Protein expression is regulated by production and degradation of mRNAs and proteins, but their specific relationships remain unknown. We combine measurements of protein production and degradation and mRNA dynamics to build a quantitative genomic model of the differential regulation of gene expression in LPS stimulated mouse dendritic cells. Changes in mRNA abundance play a dominant role in determining most dynamic fold changes in protein levels. Conversely, the preexisting proteome of proteins performing basic cellular functions is remodeled primarily through changes in protein production or degradation, accounting for over half of the absolute change in protein molecules in the cell. Thus, the proteome is regulated by transcriptional induction of novel cellular functions and remodeling of preexisting functions through the protein life cycle. Mouse primary dendritic cells were treated with LPS or mock stimulus and profiled over a 12-hour time course. Cells were grown in M-labeled SILAC media, which was replaced with H-labeled SILAC media at time 0. Aliquots were taken at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 12 hours post-stimulation and added to equal volumes of a master mix of unlabeled (L) cells for the purpose of normalization. RNA-Seq was performed at 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 hours post-stimulation.

HAPSTR1 localizes HUWE1 to the nucleus to limit stress signaling pathways

Project description:HUWE1 is a large, enigmatic HECT domain ubiquitin ligase implicated in the degradation of numerous substrates and regulating diverse pathways including DNA repair, apoptosis, and differentiation. However, the mechanism by which HUWE1 acts in a pleiotropic manner to regulate a myriad of substrates is unknown. Recent work has established a physical and genetic interaction between HUWE1 and C16orf72/HAPSTR1, suggesting that HAPSTR1 positively regulates HUWE1 function. Here, we show that HAPSTR1 is both a HUWE1 substrate, and is required to localize HUWE1 to the nucleus. Quantitative proteomics across diverse cell types reveals that HUWE1 substrates are largely context specific. Transcriptomics following HUWE1 or HAPSTR1 loss of function reveals a broad transcriptional stress response. We show that nuclear HUWE1 impacts stress signaling pathways, including p53 and NFkB-mediated signaling, and is required for cell proliferation. Together, these data define a critical role for nuclear HUWE1 function that is dependent on HAPSTR1.

Salicylic acid-induced gene expression in wild-type Col-0 and mutant upl3-4 Arabidopsis thaliana plants.

Project description:Activation of plant immunity is associated with dramatic transcriptome reprogramming to prioritise immune responses over normal cellular functions. Changes in gene expression are coordinated by the immune hormone salicylic acid (SA). Here we investigated the involvement of the HECT-type ligase Ubiquitin Protein Ligase 3 (UPL3) in SA-induced transcriptional reprogramming. We show that UPL3 acts as an amplifier of SA-induced changes in gene expression. Four-week old Arabidopsis thaliana plants of wild-type Col-0 and mutant upl3-4 genotypes were germinated on soil in 100% relative humidity. After 12 days plants were transplanted to larger pots (six plants per pot) and grown for an additional 3 weeks before experimental treatment. Plants were continuously grown in an environmental chamber with 16/8 hour day/night light regime (120 mol m-2 s-1 light intensity), 21/18 degrees celcius day/night cycle and 65% relative humidity. Plants were then sprayed with water or 0.5 mM SA until all leaves were thoroughly covered with fine droplets. After 24 hours leaf tissue was harvested from 6 plants per treatment and pooled together into a single biological repeat. In total two or three independent biological repeats were collected. After harvesting leaf tissue was immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen until further analysis.

Structural ubiquitin contributes to K48 linkage-specificity of the HECT ligase Tom1

Project description:Homologous to E6AP C-Terminus (HECT) ubiquitin ligases play key roles in essential pathways such as DNA repair, cell cycle control or protein quality control. Tom1 is one of five HECT ubiquitin E3 ligases in budding yeast S. cerevisiae and prototypical for a ligase with pleiotropic functions such as ubiquitin chain amplification, orphan quality control and DNA damage response. Structures of full-length HECT ligases, including the Tom1 ortholog HUWE1, have been reported, but how domains beyond the conserved catalytic module contribute to catalysis remains largely elusive. Here, through cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) snapshots of Tom1 during an active ubiquitination cycle, we demonstrate that the extended domain architecture directly contributes to activity. We identify a Tom1–ubiquitin architecture during ubiquitination involving a non-canonical ubiquitin binding site in the solenoid shape of Tom1. We demonstrate that this ubiquitin binding site coordinates a structural ubiquitin contributing to the fidelity of K48 poly-ubiquitin chain assembly.

The deubiquitinase TRABID stabilises the K29/K48-specific E3 ubiquitin ligase HECTD1

Project description:The OTU deubiquitinase TRABID is highly tuned for the recognition and cleavage of K29 and K33-linked ubiquitin chains. Yet the cellular functions of these atypical ubiquitin signals remain unclear. Here, we compared the interactome of two different catalytically-dead TRABID constructs, one that lacks the OTU domain and the other a single point mutant that is catalytically inactive. Since both constructs also act as ubiquitin trapping mutants, this approach was used to differentiate between interactors and substrates. The E3 ubiquitin ligase HECTD1 was confirmed as a TRABID substrate, and using UbiCREST and Ubiquitin-AQUA proteomics, we determined that HECTD1 preferentially assembles K29- and K48-linked ubiquitin chains. Further in vitro autoubiquitination assays using ubiquitin mutants established that in contrast to UBE3C, HECTD1 requires the formation of branched K29/K48-linked chains for its full activity. Finally, we used transient knockdown and genetic knock out of TRABID in mammalian cells to show that TRABID stabilises HECTD1 protein levels. This study identifies TRABID-HECTD1 as a K29-specific DUB/E3 pair and provides novel insights on the assembly of branched ubiquitin signals.

Identifying the Ubiquitination Targets of E6AP by Orthogonal Ubiquitin Transfer

Project description:E3 ubiquitin (UB) ligases, the ending module of the E1-E2-E3 cascades, transmit diverse signals in the cell by attaching UB to cellular proteins. Identifying E3 substrates holds the key to elucidate the roles of E3s in cell regulation. We constructed an orthogonal UB transfer (OUT) cascade to identify the substrates of E6AP, a HECT E3 also known as Ube3a that is implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer. We used yeast cell surface display to engineer E6AP to exclusively transfer an affinity-tagged UB variant (xUB) to its substrate proteins. Proteomic identification of xUB-conjugated proteins in HEK293 cells afforded 131 potential E6AP targets. Among them we verified MAPK1, CDK1 and CDK4, and PRMT5 are directly ubiquitinated by E6AP in vitro and in the cell. Our work establishes OUT as an efficient platform to profile E6AP substrates and would guide the engineering of OUT cascades with other E3s to interrogate their biological functions.
