Crystal structure of truncated USP1-UAF1
Structural highlights
Disease[WDR48_HUMAN] Autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia type 60. Function[WDR48_HUMAN] Regulator of deubiquitinating complexes. Acts as a strong activator of USP1 by enhancing the USP1-mediated deubiquitination of FANCD2; USP1 being almost inactive by itself. Also activates deubiquitinating activity of complexes containing USP12 and USP46, respectively. Activates deubiquitination by increasing the catalytic turnover without increasing the affinity of deubiquitinating enzymes for the substrate. In case of infection by Herpesvirus saimiri, may play a role in vesicular transport or membrane fusion events necessary for transport to lysosomes. Induces lysosomal vesicle formation via interaction with Herpesvirus saimiri tyrosine kinase-interacting protein (TIP). Subsequently, TIP recruits tyrosine-protein kinase LCK, resulting in down-regulation of T-cell antigen receptor TCR. May play a role in generation of enlarged endosomal vesicles via interaction with TIP. In case of infection by papillomavirus HPV11, promotes the maintenance of the viral genome via its interaction with HPV11 helicase E1.[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedUbiquitin-specific protease 1 (USP1) acts together with the cofactor UAF1 during DNA repair processes to specifically remove monoubiquitin signals. One substrate of the USP1-UAF1 complex is the monoubiquitinated FANCI-FANCD2 heterodimer, which is involved in the repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks via the Fanconi anemia pathway. Here we determine structures of human USP1-UAF1 with and without ubiquitin and bound to monoubiquitinated FANCI-FANCD2. The crystal structures of USP1-UAF1 reveal plasticity in USP1 and key differences to USP12-UAF1 and USP46-UAF1, two related proteases. A cryo-EM reconstruction of USP1-UAF1 in complex with monoubiquitinated FANCI-FANCD2 highlights a highly orchestrated deubiquitination process, with USP1-UAF1 driving conformational changes in the substrate. An extensive interface between UAF1 and FANCI, confirmed by mutagenesis and biochemical assays, provides a molecular explanation for the requirement of both proteins, despite neither being directly involved in catalysis. Overall, our data provide molecular details of USP1-UAF1 regulation and substrate recognition.
