The emerging regulatory potential of SCFMet30 -mediated polyubiquitination and proteolysis of the Met4 transcriptional activator

Abstract: The yeast SCF Met30 ubiquitin ligase plays a critical role in cell division by regulating the Met4 transcriptional activator of genes that control the uptake and assimilation of sulfur into methionine and S-adenosyl-methionine. The initial view on how SCF Met30 performs its function has been driven by the assumption that SCF Met30 acts exclusively as Met4 inhibitor when high levels of methionine drive an accumulation of cysteine. We revisit this model in light of the growing evidence that SCF Met30 can also ac… Show more

“…Nutrient metabolism is closely associated with cell cycle and cell division. The essential protein Met4p is associated with methionine biosynthesis, assimilation and uptake, and affects cell division and cell cycle arrest (Chandrasekaran and Skowyra ). Met4p is a leucine zipper transcriptional activator that synthesizes S ‐adenosylmethionine and interacts with SCF Met30 , which induces proteolysis of Met4p in the presence of high levels of methionine (Patton et al .…”

“…The latter is an ubiquitination complex composed of Skp1, Cdc53, Cdc34, Rbx1 and Met30 as specific components. Models of regulation of cell metabolism by Met4 and its partners have been proposed (Chandrasekaran & Skowyra, 2008).…”

“…In striking contrast to most studied instances in which SCF-complex ubiquitylation targets substrates for degradation by the 26S proteasome (reviewed in Jonkers and Rep 2009), the ubiquitylation of Met4 by SCF Met30 is not strictly linked to its immediate degradation (Kaiser et al 2000;Flick et al 2004). In the context of its association with SCF Met30 , polyubiquitylated Met4 is stabilized by interactions with its cofactors Cbf1, Met31, and Met32 (Chandrasekaran et al 2006;Chandrasekaran and Skowyra 2008). Conversely, the cofactors associated with Met4-SCF Met30 are polyubiquitylated and targeted for degradation (Ouni et al 2010).…”
