Abstract
Deltex proteins are a family of E3 ubiquitin ligases that encode C-terminal RING and DTC domains that mediate interactions with E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes and recognize ubiquitination substrates. DTX3L is unique among the Deltex proteins based on its N-terminal domain architecture. The N-terminal D1 and D2 domains of DTX3L mediate homo-oligomerization, and the D3 domain interacts with PARP9, a protein that contains tandem macrodomains with ADP-ribose reader function. While DTX3L and PARP9 are known to heterodimerize, and assemble into a high molecular weight oligomeric complex, the nature of the oligomeric structure, including whether this contributes to the ADP-ribose reader function is unknown. Here, we report a crystal structure of the DTX3L N-terminal D2 domain and show that it forms a tetramer with, conveniently, D2 symmetry. We identified two interfaces in the structure: a major, conserved interface with a surface of 973 Å2 and a smaller one of 415 Å2. Using native mass spectrometry, we observed molecular species that correspond to monomers, dimers and tetramers of the D2 domain. Reconstitution of DTX3L knockout cells with a D1-D2 deletion mutant showed the domain is dispensable for DTX3L-PARP9 heterodimer formation, but necessary to assemble an oligomeric complex with efficient reader function for ADP-ribosylated androgen receptor. Our results suggest that homo-oligomerization of DTX3L is important for the DTX3L-PARP9 complex to read mono-ADP-ribosylation on a ligand-regulated transcription factor.

Abstract
Supplementation with S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) extends the lifespan of model organisms. To explore the impact of SAH on aging, we generated a Caenorhabditis elegans model by introducing the S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (AHCY-1) variant Y145C, corresponding to the human AHCY Y143C pathogenic mutation. This mutation is anticipated to impair SAH hydrolysis, resulting in its increased levels. Our findings revealed that animals with this endogenous mutation exhibited delayed aging, accompanied by decreased S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and moderately increased SAH levels. The extended lifespan of these worms depends on the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), its activator Vaccinia virus-related kinase (VRK-1), and the DAF-16 transcription factor. The results underline the complex nature of SAH's influence on aging, proposing that the balance between SAM and SAH might play a pivotal role in defining the lifespan of C. elegans. Moreover, our partial AHCY-1 deficiency model offers a tool for studying the intersection of methionine metabolism and aging.

Analysis of Reconstituted Tripartite Complex Supports Avidity-based Recruitment of Hsp70 by Substrate Bound J-domain Protein. J Mol Biol 2023; 435:168283. [PMID: 37730084 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmb.2023.168283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2023] [Revised: 09/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 09/22/2023]
Abstract
Hsp70 are ubiquitous, versatile molecular chaperones that cyclically interact with substrate protein(s). The initial step requires synergistic interaction of a substrate and a J-domain protein (JDP) cochaperone, via its J-domain, with Hsp70 to stimulate hydrolysis of its bound ATP. This hydrolysis drives conformational changes in Hsp70 that stabilize substrate binding. However, because of the transient nature of substrate and JDP interactions, this key step is not well understood. Here we leverage a well characterized Hsp70 system specialized for iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis, which like many systems, has a JDP that binds substrate on its own. Utilizing an ATPase-deficient Hsp70 variant, we isolated a Hsp70-JDP-substrate tripartite complex. Complex formation and stability depended on residues previously identified as essential for bipartite interactions: JDP-substrate, Hsp70-substrate and J-domain-Hsp70. Computational docking based on the established J-domain-Hsp70(ATP) interaction placed the substrate close to its predicted position in the peptide-binding cleft, with the JDP having the same architecture as when in a bipartite complex with substrate. Together, our results indicate that the structurally rigid JDP-substrate complex recruits Hsp70(ATP) via precise positioning of J-domain and substrate at their respective interaction sites - resulting in functionally high affinity (i.e., avidity). The exceptionally high avidity observed for this specialized system may be unusual because of the rigid architecture of its JDP and the additional JDP-Hsp70 interaction site uncovered in this study. However, functionally important avidity driven by JDP-substrate interactions is likely sufficient to explain synergistic ATPase stimulation and efficient substrate trapping in many Hsp70 systems.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation (ERAD) is a stringent quality control mechanism through which misfolded, unassembled and some native proteins are targeted for degradation to maintain appropriate cellular and organelle homeostasis. Several in vitro and in vivo ERAD-related studies have provided mechanistic insights into ERAD pathway activation and its consequent events; however, a majority of these have investigated the effect of ERAD substrates and their consequent diseases affecting the degradation process. In this review, we present all reported human single-gene disorders caused by genetic variation in genes that encode ERAD components rather than their substrates. Additionally, after extensive literature survey, we present various genetically manipulated higher cellular and mammalian animal models that lack specific components involved in various stages of the ERAD pathway.

Abstract
The development of neurological pathologies is linked to the accumulation of protein aggregates like alpha-synuclein in Parkinson's disease and tau protein in Alzheimer's disease. Mono- or di-ubiquitination of these molecules has been reported to stabilize aggregates and contribute to the disorders. STIP1 Homologous and U-Box-containing protein 1 (STUB1) is a multifunctional protein that maintains proteostasis and insulin signalling. In spinocerebellar ataxia 16 (SCAR16), an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease, mutations in and aggregation of STUB1 are reported. Despite the well-accepted neuroprotective role of STUB1, very little is known of regulatory mechanisms that control the dynamics of STUB1 aggregate assembly. Here, we report that CARP2, a ubiquitin ligase, is a novel regulator of STUB1. CARP2 interacts and mono-ubiquitinates STUB1. Furthermore, we found that CARP2 regulates STUB1 through its TPR motif, a domain that is also associated with HSP70. Modification of STUB1 by CARP2 leads to detergent-insoluble aggregate formation. Importantly, pathogenic mutants of STUB1 are more prone than the wild-type to CARP2-mediated aggregate assembly. Hence our findings revealed CARPs (CARP1 & CARP2) as novel regulators of STUB1 and controlled its cytosolic versus aggregate dynamics.

A dimer-monomer switch controls CHIP-dependent substrate ubiquitylation and processing. Mol Cell 2022; 82:3239-3254.e11.

Abstract
The high substrate selectivity of the ubiquitin/proteasome system is mediated by a large group of E3 ubiquitin ligases. The ubiquitin ligase CHIP regulates the degradation of chaperone-controlled and chaperone-independent proteins. To understand how CHIP mediates substrate selection and processing, we performed a structure-function analysis of CHIP and addressed its physiological role in Caenorhabditis elegans and human cells. The conserved function of CHIP in chaperone-assisted degradation requires dimer formation to mediate proteotoxic stress resistance and to prevent protein aggregation. The CHIP monomer, however, promotes the turnover of the membrane-bound insulin receptor and longevity. The dimer-monomer transition is regulated by CHIP autoubiquitylation and chaperone binding, which provides a feedback loop that controls CHIP activity in response to cellular stress. Because CHIP also binds other E3 ligases, such as Parkin, the molecular switch mechanism described here could be a general concept for the regulation of substrate selectivity and ubiquitylation by combining different E3s.
