SKP1 Connects Cell Cycle Regulators to the Ubiquitin Proteolysis Machinery through a Novel Motif, the F-Box
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have identified the yeast and human homologs of the SKP1 gene as a suppressor of cdc4 mutants and as a cyclin F-binding protein. Skp1p indirectly binds cyclin A/Cdk2 through Skp2p, and directly binds Skp2p, cyclin F, and Cdc4p through a novel structural motif called the F-box. SKP1 is required for ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of Cin2p, Clb5p, and the Cdk inhibitor Sic1p, and provides a link between these molecules and the proteolysis machinery. A large number of proteins contain the F-box motif and are thereby implicated in the ubiquitin pathway. Different skp1 mutants arrest cells in either G1 or G2, suggesting a connection between regulation of proteolysis in different stages of the cycle.

Grr1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is connected to the ubiquitin proteolysis machinery through Skp1: coupling glucose sensing to gene expression and the cell cycle.
Grr1 protein of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a central component of a glucose signal transduction mechanism responsible for glucose-induced gene expression. It is required for glucose-stimulated regulation of Rgt1, a repressor of several glucose-induced HXT genes. Grr1 also plays a role in regulating the cell cycle, because it is required for degradation of the G1 cyclins Cln1 and Cln2...
متن کاملA family of mammalian F-box proteins
Ubiquitin-mediated destruction of regulatory proteins is a frequent means of controlling progression through signaling pathways [1]. F-box proteins [2] are components of modular E3 ubiquitin protein ligases called SCFs, which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination ([3] [4] [5], reviewed in [6] [7]). F-box proteins contain a carboxy-terminal domain that interacts with substrates an...
متن کاملFbw7 isoform interaction contributes to cyclin E proteolysis.
The ubiquitin proteasome system plays important roles in regulating cell growth and proliferation. Many proteins that function in ubiquitin-mediated destruction have been linked to tumorigenesis. The putative tumor-suppressor protein Fbw7 (hAgo/hCdc4) is a specificity factor for the Skp1-Cul1-F-box protein ubiquitin ligase complex and targets a number of proto-oncogene products for ubiquitin-me...
متن کاملF-box protein substrate recognition
Ubiquitin E3 ligases represent an increasingly diverse group of proteins whose precise biologic role still remains enigmatic. Of the SCF (Skp1-Cullin1-F-box) E3 ligase family, for example, only very few subunits from over 60 family members are well-characterized. The SCF apparatus contains a multi-subunit catalytic core consisting of Skp1, Cullin1 and the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating (Ubc) enzyme a...
متن کاملA Competitive binding mechanism between Skp1 and exportin 1 (CRM1) controls the localization of a subset of F-box proteins.
SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligases are crucial regulators of cell cycle progression. As the F-box protein is the substrate-specifying subunit of this family of ligases, their availability dictates the timing and the location of the ubiquitination of substrates. We report here our investigation into the regulation of the localization of F-box proteins, in particular Fbxo7, whose mislocalization is as...
