    A strategy for modulation of enzymes in the ubiquitin system (2013)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

    Publication Date: 2013-01-05
    Description: The ubiquitin system regulates virtually all aspects of cellular function. We report a method to target the myriad enzymes that govern ubiquitination of protein substrates. We used massively diverse combinatorial libraries of ubiquitin variants to develop inhibitors of four deubiquitinases (DUBs) and analyzed the DUB-inhibitor complexes with crystallography. We extended the selection strategy to the ubiquitin conjugating (E2) and ubiquitin ligase (E3) enzymes and found that ubiquitin variants can also enhance enzyme activity. Last, we showed that ubiquitin variants can bind selectively to ubiquitin-binding domains. Ubiquitin variants exhibit selective function in cells and thus enable orthogonal modulation of specific enzymatic steps in the ubiquitin system.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3815447/" 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/PMC3815447/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ernst, Andreas -- Avvakumov, George -- Tong, Jiefei -- Fan, Yihui -- Zhao, Yanling -- Alberts, Philipp -- Persaud, Avinash -- Walker, John R -- Neculai, Ana-Mirela -- Neculai, Dante -- Vorobyov, Andrew -- Garg, Pankaj -- Beatty, Linda -- Chan, Pak-Kei -- Juang, Yu-Chi -- Landry, Marie-Claude -- Yeh, Christina -- Zeqiraj, Elton -- Karamboulas, Konstantina -- Allali-Hassani, Abdellah -- Vedadi, Masoud -- Tyers, Mike -- Moffat, Jason -- Sicheri, Frank -- Pelletier, Laurence -- Durocher, Daniel -- Raught, Brian -- Rotin, Daniela -- Yang, Jianhua -- Moran, Michael F -- Dhe-Paganon, Sirano -- Sidhu, Sachdev S -- 092076/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 092381/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 1R01NS072420-01/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- MOP-102536/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- MOP-111149/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- MOP-13494/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- MOP-57795/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- R01 NS072420/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Feb 1;339(6119):590-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1230161.

    Activation of Rho GTPases by DOCK exchange factors is mediated by a nucleotide sensor (2009)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2009-09-12
    Description: Activation of Rho guanosine triphosphatases (GTPases) to the guanine triphosphate (GTP)-bound state is a critical event in their regulation of the cytoskeleton and cell signaling. Members of the DOCK family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) are important activators of Rho GTPases, but the mechanism of activation by their catalytic DHR2 domain is unknown. Through structural analysis of DOCK9-Cdc42 complexes, we identify a nucleotide sensor within the alpha10 helix of the DHR2 domain that contributes to release of guanine diphosphate (GDP) and then to discharge of the activated GTP-bound Cdc42. Magnesium exclusion, a critical factor in promoting GDP release, is mediated by a conserved valine residue within this sensor, whereas binding of GTP-Mg2+ to the nucleotide-free complex results in magnesium-inducing displacement of the sensor to stimulate discharge of Cdc42-GTP. These studies identify an unusual mechanism of GDP release and define the complete GEF catalytic cycle from GDP dissociation followed by GTP binding and discharge of the activated GTPase.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yang, Jing -- Zhang, Ziguo -- Roe, S Mark -- Marshall, Christopher J -- Barford, David -- 10433/Cancer Research UK/United Kingdom -- Cancer Research UK/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2009 Sep 11;325(5946):1398-402. doi: 10.1126/science.1174468.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Section of Structural Biology, Institute of Cancer Research, Chester Beatty Laboratories, 237 Fulham Road, London SW3 6JB, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19745154" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    A killer-protector system regulates both hybrid sterility and segregation distortion in rice (2012)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2012-09-18
    Description: Hybrid sterility is a major form of postzygotic reproductive isolation that restricts gene flow between populations. Cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) consists of two subspecies, indica and japonica; inter-subspecific hybrids are usually sterile. We show that a killer-protector system at the S5 locus encoded by three tightly linked genes [Open Reading Frame 3 (ORF3) to ORF5] regulates fertility in indica-japonica hybrids. During female sporogenesis, the action of ORF5+ (killer) and ORF4+ (partner) causes endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. ORF3+ (protector) prevents ER stress and produces normal gametes, but ORF3- cannot prevent ER stress, resulting in premature programmed cell death and leads to embryo-sac abortion. Preferential transmission of ORF3+ gametes results in segregation distortion in the progeny. These results add to our understanding of differences between indica and japonica rice and may aid in rice genetic improvement.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yang, Jiangyi -- Zhao, Xiaobo -- Cheng, Ke -- Du, Hongyi -- Ouyang, Yidan -- Chen, Jiongjiong -- Qiu, Shuqing -- Huang, Jianyan -- Jiang, Yunhe -- Jiang, Liwen -- Ding, Jihua -- Wang, Jia -- Xu, Caiguo -- Li, Xianghua -- Zhang, Qifa -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Sep 14;337(6100):1336-40. doi: 10.1126/science.1223702.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉National Key Laboratory of Crop Genetic Improvement and National Centre of Plant Gene Research, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan 430070, China.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22984070" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
