WW domain HECT E3s target Cbl RING finger E3s for proteasomal degradation.

چکیده
Cbl proteins have RING finger-dependent ubiquitin ligase (E3) activity that is essential for down-regulation of tyrosine kinases. Here we establish that two WW domain HECT E3s, Nedd4 and Itch, bind Cbl proteins and target them for proteasomal degradation. This is dependent on the E3 activity of the HECT E3s but not on that of Cbl. Consistent with these observations, in cells expressing the epidermal growth factor receptor, Nedd4 reverses Cbl-b effects on receptor down-regulation, ubiquitylation, and proximal events in signaling. Cbl-b also targets active Src for degradation in cells, and Nedd4 similarly reverses Cbl-mediated Src degradation. These findings establish that RING finger E3s can be substrates, not only for autoubiquitylation but also for ubiquitylation by HECT E3s and suggest an additional level of regulation for Cbl substrates including protein-tyrosine kinases.

Autoinhibition of the HECT-Type Ubiquitin Ligase Smurf2 through Its C2 Domain
Ubiquitination of proteins is an abundant modification that controls numerous cellular processes. Many Ubiquitin (Ub) protein ligases (E3s) target both their substrates and themselves for degradation. However, the mechanisms regulating their catalytic activity are largely unknown. The C2-WW-HECT-domain E3 Smurf2 downregulates transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling by targeting its...
متن کاملDifferent HECT domain ubiquitin ligases employ distinct mechanisms of polyubiquitin chain synthesis.
Individual ubiquitin (Ub)-protein ligases (E3s) cooperate with specific Ub-conjugating enzymes (E2s) to modify cognate substrates with polyubiquitin chains. E3s belonging to the Really Interesting New Gene (RING) and Homologous to E6-Associated Protein (E6AP) C-Terminus (HECT) domain families utilize distinct molecular mechanisms. In particular, HECT E3s, but not RING E3s, form a thiol ester wi...
متن کاملHell's BELs: Bacterial E3 Ligases That Exploit the Eukaryotic Ubiquitin Machinery
A common post-translational modification in eukaryotes is the covalent attachment of ubiquitin, a 76 amino acid protein, to specific proteins. Most commonly, ubiquitin is conjugated to e– amino groups of lysine residues, and in unusual cases it can be conjugated to serine and cysteine residues or the terminal amino group of a protein. This process, referred to as ubiquitination (or ubiquitylati...
متن کاملStructural insights into the activity and regulation of E3 ubiquitin ligases
Covalent attachment of one or more ubiquitin molecules to protein substrates governs numerous eukaryotic cellular processes including apoptosis, cell division and immune response. Ubiquitylated proteins can be targeted for degradation but ubiquitylation also mediates processes such as protein-protein interactions and cell signalling, depending on the type of ubiquitin conjugation. Ubiquitin lig...
متن کاملStructure of a c-Cbl–UbcH7 Complex RING Domain Function in Ubiquitin-Protein Ligases
Ubiquitin-protein ligases (E3s) regulate diverse cellular processes by mediating protein ubiquitination. The c-Cbl proto-oncogene is a RING family E3 that recognizes activated receptor tyrosine kinases, promotes their ubiquitination by a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) and terminates signaling. The crystal structure of c-Cbl bound to a cognate E2 and a kinase peptide shows how the RING domain...
