Structure of the SOCS2-Elongin BC complex bound to an N-terminal fragment of Cullin5
Structural highlights
Function[CUL5_HUMAN] Core component of multiple SCF-like ECS (Elongin-Cullin 2/5-SOCS-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes, which mediate the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. As a scaffold protein may contribute to catalysis through positioning of the substrate and the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme. The functional specificity of the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex depends on the variable substrate recognition component. ECS(SOCS1) seems to direct ubiquitination of JAk2. Seems to be involved poteosomal degradation of p53/TP53 stimulated by adenovirus E1B-55 kDa protein. May form a cell surface vasopressin receptor. [SOCS2_HUMAN] SOCS family proteins form part of a classical negative feedback system that regulates cytokine signal transduction. SOCS2 appears to be a negative regulator in the growth hormone/IGF1 signaling pathway. Probable substrate recognition component of a SCF-like ECS (Elongin BC-CUL2/5-SOCS-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. [ELOC_MOUSE] SIII, also known as elongin, is a general transcription elongation factor that increases the RNA polymerase II transcription elongation past template-encoded arresting sites. Subunit A is transcriptionally active and its transcription activity is strongly enhanced by binding to the dimeric complex of the SIII regulatory subunits B and C (elongin BC complex). The elongin BC complex seems to be involved as an adapter protein in the proteasomal degradation of target proteins via different E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, including the von Hippel-Lindau ubiquitination complex CBC(VHL). By binding to BC-box motifs it seems to link target recruitment subunits, like VHL and members of the SOCS box family, to Cullin/RBX1 modules that activate E2 ubiquitination enzymes.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases are multisubunit complexes that ubiquitinate various proteins. Six different cullins encoded by the human genome selectively pair with different adaptors and substrate receptors. It is presently poorly understood how cullin-2 (Cul2) and cullin-5 (Cul5) associate specifically with their adaptor elongin BC and a SOCS-box-containing substrate receptor. Here, crystallographic and mutational analyses of a quaternary complex between the N-terminal half of Cul5, elongin BC and SOCS2 are reported. Cul5 interacts extensively with elongin BC via residues that are highly conserved in Cul2 but not in other cullins. Cul5 also interacts with SOCS2, but via only two residues, Pro184 and Arg186, which are located in the C-terminal part of the SOCS box called the Cul5 box. Pro184 makes a ring-to-ring interaction with Trp53 of Cul5, which is substituted by alanine in Cul2. This interaction is shown to contribute significantly to the overall binding affinity between Cul5 and SOCS2-elongin BC. This study provides structural bases underlying the specificity of Cul5 and Cul2 for elongin BC and their preferential association with Cul5 or Cul2 box-containing substrate receptors.
