Sulfur transfer and activation by ubiquitin-like modifier system Uba4•Urm1 link protein urmylation and tRNA thiolation in yeast
Urm1 is a unique dual-function member of the ubiquitin protein family and conserved from yeast to man. It acts both as a protein modifier in ubiquitin-like urmylation and as a sulfur donor for tRNA thiolation, which in concert with the Elongator pathway forms 5-methoxy-carbonyl-methyl-2-thio (mcm5s2) modified wobble uridines (U34) in anticodons. Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model to stud...
متن کاملA protein conjugation system in yeast with homology to biosynthetic enzyme reaction of prokaryotes.
Protein conjugation, such as ubiquitination, is the process by which the C-terminal glycine of a small modifier protein is covalently attached to target protein(s) through sequential reactions with an activating enzyme and conjugating enzymes. Here we report on a novel protein conjugation system in yeast. A newly identified ubiquitin related modifier, Urm1 is a 99-amino acid protein terminated ...
متن کاملUrm1 at the crossroad of modifications
The ubiquitin-like protein Urm1 can be covalently conjugated to other proteins, such as the yeast thioredoxin peroxidase protein Ahp1p, through a mechanism involving the ubiquitin E1-like enzyme Uba4. Recent findings have revealed a second function of Urm1 as a sulphur carrier in the thiolation of eukaryotic cytoplasmic transfer RNAs (tRNAs). Interestingly, this new role of Urm1 is similar to t...
متن کاملInvolvement of a eukaryotic-like ubiquitin-related modifier in the proteasome pathway of the archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius
In eukaryotes, the covalent attachment of ubiquitin chains directs substrates to the proteasome for degradation. Recently, ubiquitin-like modifications have also been described in the archaeal domain of life. It has subsequently been hypothesized that ubiquitin-like proteasomal degradation might also operate in these microbes, since all archaeal species utilize homologues of the eukaryotic prot...
متن کاملUrm1 couples sulfur transfer to ubiquitin-like protein function in oxidative stress.
T he posttranslational modification of proteins with ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins (collectively referred to as UBLs) has emerged as a major regulatory mechanism in eukaryotes. UBLs are characterized by a core β-grasp fold and an essential carboxy terminal glycine within a di-glycine motif (1). These features are also found in several prokaryotic sulfur carriers, suggestive of an evolut...
