Multivalent interactions of the SUMO-interaction motifs in RING finger protein 4 determine the specificity for chains of the SUMO

چکیده
RNF4 (RING finger protein 4) is a STUbL [SUMO (small ubiquitin-related modifier)-targeted ubiquitin ligase] controlling PML (promyelocytic leukaemia) nuclear bodies, DNA double strand break repair and other nuclear functions. In the present paper, we describe that the sequence and spacing of the SIMs (SUMO-interaction motifs) in RNF4 regulate the avidity-driven recognition of substrate proteins carrying SUMO chains of variable length.

Screen for multi-SUMO-binding proteins reveals a multi-SIM-binding mechanism for recruitment of the transcriptional regulator ZMYM2 to chromatin.
Protein SUMOylation has emerged as an important regulatory event, particularly in nuclear processes such as transcriptional control and DNA repair. In this context, small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) often provides a binding platform for the recruitment of proteins via their SUMO-interacting motifs (SIMs). Recent discoveries point to an important role for multivalent SUMO binding through mult...
متن کاملDecoding the SUMO signal.
SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) emerged from the shadow of the well-established ubiquitin some 15 years ago when it was shown that a distinct conjugation pathway was responsible for SUMO modification. Since then it has been established that SUMO modifies over a thousand substrates and plays diverse roles in many important biological processes. Recognition of SUMO is mediated by short pepti...
متن کاملGold nanoparticles as a platform for creating a multivalent poly-SUMO chain inhibitor that also augments ionizing radiation.
Protein-protein interactions mediated by ubiquitin-like (Ubl) modifications occur as mono-Ubl or poly-Ubl chains. Proteins that regulate poly-SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) chain conjugates play important roles in cellular response to DNA damage, such as those caused by cancer radiation therapy. Additionally, high atomic number metals, such as gold, preferentially absorb much more X-ray e...
متن کاملSUMO mediates interaction of Ebp2p, the yeast homolog of Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 1-binding protein 2, with a RING finger protein Ris1p.
Ebp2p is essential for the assembly of 60S ribosomal subunits, and it interacts with other ribosome assembly factors in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two-hybrid screening exhibited that Ebp2p interacted with a small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO)-ligase Siz2p and SUMO-related proteins, Ris1p and Wss1p. Mutations of SUMO attachment sites of Ebp2p led to significantly weak interactions with Siz2p,...
متن کاملExpanding SUMO and ubiquitin-mediated signaling through hybrid SUMO-ubiquitin chains and their receptors
Monomeric and polymeric forms of SUMO and ubiquitin are covalently attached to substrates and recognized by effector proteins containing SUMOinteracting motifs (SIMs) or ubiquitininteracting motifs (UIMs), thereby triggering a wide range of biological responses. SUMO and ubiquitin were thought to represent distinct homotypic signals, until recent studies revealed the presence of hybrid SUMO-Ub ...
