Crystal Structure of UBA2ufd-Ubc9: Insights into E1-E2 Interactions in Sumo Pathways

Abstract: Canonical ubiquitin-like proteins (UBLs) such as ubiquitin, Sumo, NEDD8, and ISG15 are ligated to targets by E1-E2-E3 multienzyme cascades. The Sumo cascade, conserved among all eukaryotes, regulates numerous biological processes including protein localization, transcription, DNA replication, and mitosis. Sumo conjugation is initiated by the heterodimeric Aos1-Uba2 E1 enzyme (in humans called Sae1-Uba2), which activates Sumo's C-terminus, binds the dedicated E2 enzyme Ubc9, and promotes Sumo C-terminal transfe… Show more

“…For this analysis, we expressed and purified the C-terminal ubiquitin-fold domains of human and P. falciparum Uba2 (Uba2 ufd ), which are predicted to mediate interactions with Ubc9 (16,19). Consistent with this prediction, we observed endothermic binding between human Ubc9 and human Uba2 , and ⌬S ϭ 36 Ϯ 0.9 cal mol Ϫ1 K Ϫ1 (mean Ϯ S.D.…”

“…5, b-d). Based on crystallographic analysis of S. cerevisiae E1 and E2 interactions (19), the ␣1 helix and the ␤1-␤2 loop are predicted to form the E1 interaction interface. Of particular interest, several residues within this region of PfUbc9, including Lys-5 and Lys-6, Ala-13 and Glu-14, and Pro-29 and Lys-34 have diverged from residues in HsUbc9 (Fig.…”

“…In similarity to E2 enzymes in the ubiquitin proteasome pathway, crayfish UBC9 contains a core ubiquitin-conjugating catalytic domain (UBCc) with a conserved Cys93 (33). However, SUMOylation solely utilizes the E2 UBC9, whereas the ubiquitination pathway uses diverse E2s.…”
