    BRCA2 function in DNA binding and recombination from a BRCA2-DSS1-ssDNA structure (2002)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2002-09-14
    Description: Mutations in the BRCA2 (breast cancer susceptibility gene 2) tumor suppressor lead to chromosomal instability due to defects in the repair of double-strand DNA breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination, but BRCA2's role in this process has been unclear. Here, we present the 3.1 angstrom crystal structure of a approximately 90-kilodalton BRCA2 domain bound to DSS1, which reveals three oligonucleotide-binding (OB) folds and a helix-turn-helix (HTH) motif. We also (i) demonstrate that this BRCA2 domain binds single-stranded DNA, (ii) present its 3.5 angstrom structure bound to oligo(dT)9, (iii) provide data that implicate the HTH motif in dsDNA binding, and (iv) show that BRCA2 stimulates RAD51-mediated recombination in vitro. These findings establish that BRCA2 functions directly in homologous recombination and provide a structural and biochemical basis for understanding the loss of recombination-mediated DSB repair in BRCA2-associated cancers.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yang, Haijuan -- Jeffrey, Philip D -- Miller, Julie -- Kinnucan, Elspeth -- Sun, Yutong -- Thoma, Nicolas H -- Zheng, Ning -- Chen, Phang-Lang -- Lee, Wen-Hwa -- Pavletich, Nikola P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Sep 13;297(5588):1837-48.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Pharmacology, Sloan-Kettering Division, Joan and Sanford I.

    SCF(FBXL3) ubiquitin ligase targets cryptochromes at their cofactor pocket (2013)
    Nature Publishing Group (NPG)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-03-19
    Description: The cryptochrome (CRY) flavoproteins act as blue-light receptors in plants and insects, but perform light-independent functions at the core of the mammalian circadian clock. To drive clock oscillations, mammalian CRYs associate with the Period proteins (PERs) and together inhibit the transcription of their own genes. The SCF(FBXL3) ubiquitin ligase complex controls this negative feedback loop by promoting CRY ubiquitination and degradation. However, the molecular mechanisms of their interactions and the functional role of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) binding in CRYs remain poorly understood. Here we report crystal structures of mammalian CRY2 in its apo, FAD-bound and FBXL3-SKP1-complexed forms. Distinct from other cryptochromes of known structures, mammalian CRY2 binds FAD dynamically with an open cofactor pocket. Notably, the F-box protein FBXL3 captures CRY2 by simultaneously occupying its FAD-binding pocket with a conserved carboxy-terminal tail and burying its PER-binding interface. This novel F-box-protein-substrate bipartite interaction is susceptible to disruption by both FAD and PERs, suggesting a new avenue for pharmacological targeting of the complex and a multifaceted regulatory mechanism of CRY ubiquitination.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3618506/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3618506/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Xing, Weiman -- Busino, Luca -- Hinds, Thomas R -- Marionni, Samuel T -- Saifee, Nabiha H -- Bush, Matthew F -- Pagano, Michele -- Zheng, Ning -- 5T32-HL007151/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K99 CA166181/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM057587/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01-CA107134/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01-GM057587/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R21-CA161108/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R37 CA076584/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R37-CA-076584/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- England -- Nature. 2013 Apr 4;496(7443):64-8. doi: 10.1038/nature11964.
