Structural Elucidation of Peptide Binding to KLHL-12, a Substrate Specific Adapter Protein in a Cul3-Ring E3 Ligase Complex
Structural highlights
Function[KLH12_HUMAN] Substrate-specific adapter of a BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that acts as a negative regulator of Wnt signaling pathway and ER-Golgi transport (PubMed:22358839, PubMed:27565346). The BCR(KLHL12) complex is involved in ER-Golgi transport by regulating the size of COPII coats, thereby playing a key role in collagen export, which is required for embryonic stem (ES) cells division: BCR(KLHL12) acts by mediating monoubiquitination of SEC31 (SEC31A or SEC31B) (PubMed:22358839, PubMed:27565346). The BCR(KLHL12) complex is also involved in neural crest specification: in response to cytosolic calcium increase, interacts with the heterodimer formed with PEF1 and PDCD6/ALG-2, leading to bridge together the BCR(KLHL12) complex and SEC31 (SEC31A or SEC31B), promoting monoubiquitination of SEC31 and subsequent collagen export (PubMed:27716508). As part of the BCR(KLHL12) complex, also acts as a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway by mediating ubiquitination and subsequent proteolysis of DVL3 (PubMed:16547521). The BCR(KLHL12) complex also mediates polyubiquitination of DRD4 and PEF1, without leading to degradation of these proteins (PubMed:18303015, PubMed:20100572, PubMed:27716508).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Publication Abstract from PubMedKLHL-12 is a substrate specific adapter protein for a Cul3-Ring ligase complex. It is a member of the Kelch beta-propeller domain subclass of Cullin-Ring substrate recognition domains. This E3 ubiquitin ligase complex has many activities, including acting as a negative regulator of the Wnt signaling pathway by mediating ubiquitination and subsequent proteolysis of Dvl3/Dsh3. KLHL-12 is also known to mediate the polyubiquitination of the dopamine D4 receptor (D4.2), the ubiquitination of KHSRP, a protein that is involved in IRES translation, and also the ubiquitination of Sec31, which is involved in endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi transport by regulating the size of COPII coats. Earlier studies broadly defined the substrate binding regions for D4.2 and Dvl3/Dsh3 to KLHL-12. We tested several peptides from these regions and succeeded in identifying a short peptide that bound to KLHL-12 with low micromolar affinity. To better understand the sequence specificity of this peptide, we used alanine substitutions to map the important residues and obtained an X-ray structure of this peptide bound to KLHL-12. This structure and our peptide affinity measurements suggest a sequence motif for peptides that bind to the top face of KLHL-12. Understanding this binding site on KLHL-12 may contribute to efforts to find small molecule ligands that can either directly inhibit the degradation of substrate proteins or be used in targeted protein degradation strategies using PROTACs.
