Structural highlights
Function[DCN1_YEAST] Required for neddylation of cullin components of SCF-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes. Neddylation of cullins play an essential role in the regulation of SCF-type complexes activity. Does not act by preventing deneddylation, but rather facilitates neddylation, possibly by acting with HRT1/RBX1 to recruit the Nedd8-charged E2 UBC12 to the cullin component of SCF-type complexes.[1] [UBC12_YEAST] Accepts the ubiquitin-like protein NEDD8/RUB1 from the UBA3-ULA1 E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins. The major substrate is CDC53/Cullin.[2] Publication Abstract from PubMedAlthough most eukaryotic proteins are N-terminally acetylated, structural mechanisms by which N-terminal acetylation mediates protein interactions are largely unknown. Here, we found that N-terminal acetylation of the E2 enzyme, Ubc12, dictates distinctive E3-dependent ligation of the ubiquitin-like protein, Nedd8, to Cul1. Structural, biochemical, biophysical, and genetic analyses revealed how complete burial of Ubc12's N-acetyl-methionine in a hydrophobic pocket in the E3, Dcn1, promotes cullin neddylation. The results suggest that the N-terminal acetyl both directs Ubc12's interactions with Dcn1, and prevents repulsion of a charged N-terminus. Our data provide a link between acetylation and ubiquitin-like protein conjugation, and define a mechanism for N-terminal acetylation-dependent recognition.
