Ubp2 Regulates Rsp5 Ubiquitination Activity In Vivo and In Vitro
نویسندگان
چکیده
The yeast HECT-family E3 ubiquitin ligase Rsp5 has been implicated in diverse cell functions. Previously, we and others [1], [2] reported the physical and functional interaction of Rsp5 with the deubiquitinating enzyme Ubp2, and the ubiquitin associated (UBA) domain-containing cofactor Rup1. To investigate the mechanism and significance of the Rsp5-Rup1-Ubp2 complex, we examined Rsp5 ubiquitination status in the presence or absence of these cofactors. We found that, similar to its mammalian homologues, Rsp5 is auto-ubiquitinated in vivo. Association with a substrate or Rup1 increased Rsp5 self-ubiquitination, whereas Ubp2 efficiently deubiquitinates Rsp5 in vivo and in vitro. The data reported here imply an auto-modulatory mechanism of Rsp5 regulation common to other E3 ligases.

The Rsp5 ubiquitin ligase is coupled to and antagonized by the Ubp2 deubiquitinating enzyme.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rsp5 is an essential HECT ubiquitin ligase involved in several biological processes. To gain further insight into regulation of this enzyme, we identified proteins that copurified with epitope-tagged Rsp5. Ubp2, a deubiquitinating enzyme, was a prominent copurifying protein. Rup1, a previously uncharacterized UBA domain protein, was required for binding of Rsp5 to Ubp2 ...

Protein ubiquitination is essential for many events linked to intracellular protein trafficking. We sought to elucidate the possible involvement of the S. cerevisiae deubiquitinating enzyme Ubp2 in transporter and receptor trafficking after we (this study) and others established that affinity purified Ubp2 interacts stably with the E3 ubiquitin ligase Rsp5 and the (ubiquitin associated) UBA dom...
متن کاملDeubiquitinating enzymes Ubp2 and Ubp15 regulate endocytosis by limiting ubiquitination and degradation of ARTs
Endocytic down-regulation of cell-surface proteins is a fundamental cellular process for cell survival and adaptation to environmental stimuli. Ubiquitination of cargo proteins serves as the sorting signal for downstream trafficking and relies on the arrestin-related trafficking adaptor (ART)-Rsp5 ubiquitin ligase adaptor network in yeast. Hence proper regulation of the abundance and activity o...
متن کاملAn ubiquitin-dependent balance between mitofusin turnover and fatty acids desaturation regulates mitochondrial fusion
Mitochondrial integrity relies on homotypic fusion between adjacent outer membranes, which is mediated by large GTPases called mitofusins. The regulation of this process remains nonetheless elusive. Here, we report a crosstalk between the ubiquitin protease Ubp2 and the ubiquitin ligases Mdm30 and Rsp5 that modulates mitochondrial fusion. Ubp2 is an antagonist of Rsp5, which promotes synthesis ...
متن کاملMonoubiquitination of RPN10 regulates substrate recruitment to the proteasome.
The proteasome recognizes its substrates via a diverse set of ubiquitin receptors, including subunits Rpn10/S5a and Rpn13. In addition, shuttling factors, such as Rad23, recruit substrates to the proteasome by delivering ubiquitinated proteins. Despite the increasing understanding of the factors involved in this process, the regulation of substrate delivery remains largely unexplored. Here we r...
