UBE2N/UBE2V2 complexed with a covalent inhibitor
Structural highlights
FunctionUBE2N_HUMAN The UBE2V1-UBE2N and UBE2V2-UBE2N heterodimers catalyze the synthesis of non-canonical 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains. This type of polyubiquitination does not lead to protein degradation by the proteasome. Mediates transcriptional activation of target genes. Plays a role in the control of progress through the cell cycle and differentiation. Plays a role in the error-free DNA repair pathway and contributes to the survival of cells after DNA damage. Acts together with the E3 ligases, HLTF and SHPRH, in the 'Lys-63'-linked poly-ubiquitination of PCNA upon genotoxic stress, which is required for DNA repair. Appears to act together with E3 ligase RNF5 in the 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of JKAMP thereby regulating JKAMP function by decreasing its association with components of the proteasome and ERAD. Promotes TRIM5 capsid-specific restriction activity and the UBE2V1-UBE2N heterodimer acts in concert with TRIM5 to generate 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains which activate the MAP3K7/TAK1 complex which in turn results in the induction and expression of NF-kappa-B and MAPK-responsive inflammatory genes (By similarity).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedBroadening the application of covalent inhibitors requires the exploration of nucleophilic residues beyond cysteine. The covalent DNA-encoded chemical library (CoDEL) represents an advanced technology for covalent drug discovery. However, its application in lysine-targeting inhibitors remains uncharted territory. Here, we report the utilization of CoDEL selection guided by proteome-wide data to identify lysine-targeting covalent inhibitors. A comprehensive assessment of activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) data on lysine distribution and ligandability reveals potential targets for selective covalent inhibition, including phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1), bromodomain (BRD) family proteins, and ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2 N (UBE2N). The 10.7-million-member CoDELs, featuring diverse lysine-reactive warheads, enable the discovery of a series of covalent inhibitors, covering photo-covalent, reversible covalent, and irreversible covalent reaction mechanisms. In-depth characterization of binding sites and modes of action provides structural and functional insights. Notably, irreversible covalent inhibitors unveil a novel mechanism for regulating UBE2N-mediated ubiquitination by modulating the conformation of the protein complex. Our work adopts the ABPP-CoDEL strategy, offering an efficient and versatile selection method for the development of covalent inhibitors targeting functional lysines.
