Degradation of polyubiquitinated proteins by the proteasome often requires accessory factors; these include receptor proteins that bind both polyubiquitin chains and the regulatory particle of the proteasome. Overproduction of one such factor, Dsk2, is lethal in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and we show here that this lethality can be suppressed by mutations in SEM1, a gene previously recognized as an ortholog of the human gene encoding DSS1, which binds the BRCA2 DNA repair protein. Yeast sem1 mutants accumulate polyubiquitinated proteins, are defective for proteasome-mediated degradation and cannot grow under various stress conditions. Moreover, sem1 is synthetically lethal with mutations in proteasome subunits. We show that Sem1 is a component of the regulatory particle of the proteasome, specifically the lid subcomplex. Loss of Sem1 impairs the stability of the 26S proteasome and sem1Delta defects are greatly enhanced by simultaneous deletion of RPN10. The Rpn10 proteasome subunit appears to function with Sem1 in maintaining the association of the lid and base subcomplexes of the regulatory particle. Our data suggest a potential mechanism for this protein-protein stabilization and also suggest that an intact proteasomal regulatory particle is required for responses to DNA damage.

The ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain is one of the most frequently occurring motifs that recognize ubiquitin tags. Dsk2p, a UBA-containing protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathway and has been implicated in spindle pole duplication. Here we present the solution structure of the UBA domain of Dsk2p (Dsk2(UBA)) in complex with ubiquitin. The structure reveals that the UBA domain uses a mode of ubiquitin recognition that is similar to that of the CUE domain, another ubiquitin binding motif that shares low sequence homology but high structural similarity with UBA domains. These two domains, as well as the structurally unrelated ubiquitin binding motif UIM, provide a common, crucial recognition site for ubiquitin, comprising a hydrogen-bonding acceptor for the amide group of Gly-47, and a methyl group that packs against the hydrophobic pocket of ubiquitin formed by Leu-8, Ile-44, His-68, and Val-70.

The proteasome-interacting protein Rad23 is a long-lived protein. Interaction between Rad23 and the proteasome is required for Rad23's functions in nucleotide excision repair and ubiquitin-dependent degradation. Here, we show that the ubiquitin-associated (UBA)-2 domain of yeast Rad23 is a cis-acting, transferable stabilization signal that protects Rad23 from proteasomal degradation. Disruption of the UBA2 domain converts Rad23 into a short-lived protein that is targeted for degradation through its N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain. UBA2-dependent stabilization is required for Rad23 function because a yeast strain expressing a mutant Rad23 that lacks a functional UBA2 domain shows increased sensitivity to UV light and, in the absence of Rpn10, severe growth defects. The C-terminal UBA domains of Dsk2, Ddi1, Ede1, and the human Rad23 homolog hHR23A have similar protective activities. Thus, the UBA2 domain of Rad23 is an evolutionarily conserved stabilization signal that allows Rad23 to interact with the proteasome without facing destruction.

Ho endonuclease initiates a mating type switch by making a double-strand break at the mating type locus, MAT. Ho is marked by phosphorylation for rapid destruction by functions of the DNA damage response, MEC1, RAD9, and CHK1. Phosphorylated Ho is recruited for ubiquitylation via the SCF ubiquitin ligase complex by the F-box protein, Ufo1. Here we identify a further DNA damage-inducible protein, the UbL-UbA protein Ddi1, specifically required for Ho degradation. Ho interacts only with Ddi1; it does not interact with the other UbL-UbA proteins, Rad23 or Dsk2. Ho must be ubiquitylated to interact with Ddi1, and there is no interaction when Ho is produced in mec1 or Deltaufo1 mutants that do not support its degradation. Ddi1 binds the proteasome via its N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain (UbL) and interacts with ubiquitylated Ho via its ubiquitin-associated domain (UbA); both domains of Ddi1 are required for association of ubiquitylated Ho with the proteasome. Despite being a nuclear protein, Ho is exported to the cytoplasm for degradation. In the absence of Ddi1, ubiquitylated Ho is stabilized and accumulates in the cytoplasm. These results establish a role for Ddi1 in the degradation of a natural ubiquitylated substrate. The specific interaction between Ho and Ddi1 identifies an additional function associated with DNA damage involved in its degradation.

Budding yeast Dsk2 is a family of UbL-UBA proteins that can interact with both polyubiquitin and the proteasome, and is thereby thought to function as a shuttle protein in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Here we show that Dsk2 can homodimerize via its C-terminal UBA domain in the absence of ubiquitin. Dsk2 mutants defective in the UBA domain do not dimerize and do not bind polyubiquitin. The expression of Dsk2 UBA mutants fails to restore the growth defect caused by DSK2 disruption although that of wild-type Dsk2 can restore the defect. These results suggest that Dsk2 homodimerization via the UBA domain plays a role in regulating polyubiquitin binding in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

We developed an integrated proteomic approach to decipher in vivo protein-protein interactions and applied this strategy to globally map the 26 S proteasome interaction network in yeast. We termed this approach QTAX for quantitative analysis of tandem affinity purified in vivo cross-linked (X) protein complexes. For this work, in vivo formaldehyde cross-linking was used to freeze both stable and transient interactions occurring in intact cells prior to lysis. To isolate cross-linked protein complexes with high purification efficiency under fully denaturing conditions, a new tandem affinity tag consisting of a hexahistidine sequence and an in vivo biotinylation signal was adopted for affinity-based purification. Tandem affinity purification after in vivo cross-linking was combined with tandem mass spectrometry coupled with a quantitative SILAC (stable isotope labeling of amino acids in cell culture) strategy to carry out unambiguous protein identification and quantification of specific protein interactions. Using this method, we captured and identified the full composition of yeast 26 S proteasome complex as well as the two known ubiquitin receptors, Rad23 and Dsk2. Quantitative mass spectrometry analysis allowed us to distinguish specific proteasome-interacting proteins (PIPs) from background proteins and led to the identification of a total of 64 potential PIPs of which 42 are novel interactions. Among the 64 putative specific PIPs, there are ubiquitin pathway components, ubiquitinated substrates, chaperones, and transcription and translation regulators, demonstrating the efficacy of the developed approach in capturing in vivo protein interactions. The method offers an advanced technical approach to elucidate the dynamic protein interaction networks of the proteasome and can find a wide range of applications in the studies of other macromolecular protein complex interaction networks.

The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is essential throughout the life cycle of a cell. This system employs an astounding number of proteins to ubiquitylate and to deliver protein substrates to the proteasome for their degradation. At the heart of this process is the large and growing family of ubiquitin receptor proteins. Within this family is an intensely studied group that contains both ubiquitin-like (UBL) and ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains: Rad23, Ddi1 and Dsk2. Although UBL/UBA family members are reported to regulate the degradation of other proteins, their individual roles in ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation has proven difficult to resolve due to their overlapping functional roles and interaction with each other and other ubiquitin family members. Here, we use a combination of NMR spectroscopy and molecular biology to reveal that Rad23 and Ddi1 interact with each other by using UBL/UBA domain interactions in a manner that does not preclude their interaction with ubiquitin. We demonstrate that UBL/UBA proteins can bind a common tetraubiquitin molecule and thereby provide strong evidence for a model in which chains adopt an opened structure to bind multiple receptor proteins. Altogether our results suggest a mechanism through which UBL/UBA proteins could protect chains from premature de-ubiquitylation and unnecessary elongation during their transit to the proteasome.

The yeast proteins Dsk2 and Rad23 belong to a family of proteins that contain an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain (UBL) and a C-terminal ubiquitin-associated domain (UBA). Both Dsk2 and Rad23 function as adaptors to target ubiquitin-labelled proteins to the proteasome through recognition of polyubiquitin (four or more K48-linked ubiquitins) by their UBA domains and to the yeast proteasomal subunit Rpn1 by their UBL domains. The crystal structures of the Dsk2 UBL domain, the Dsk2 UBA domain and the Dsk2 UBA-UBL complex are reported. In the crystal, the Dsk2 UBA domains associate through electrostatic interactions to form ninefold helical ribbons that leave the ubiquitin-binding surface exposed. The UBA-UBL complex explains the reduced affinity of the UBA domain for UBL compared with ubiquitin and has implications for the regulation of Dsk2 adaptor function during ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal targeting. A model is discussed in which two or more Dsk2 UBA molecules may selectively bind to K48-linked polyubiquitin.

The budding yeast UbL-UBA protein Dsk2 has a UbL domain at its N-terminus and a UBA domain at its C-terminus, and thus functions as a shuttle protein in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. In this report we describe two isoforms of Xenopus Dsk2-related protein, XDRP1L and XDRP1S. Difference of the two proteins in sequence was that the UbL domain of XDRP1S lacks 15 residues in the middle part of that of XDRP1L. Both XDRP1L and XDRP1S were expressed in Xenopus eggs. XDRP1L and XDRP1S bound to polyubiquitinated proteins via their UBA domains. XDRP1L also bound to the proteasome via its UbL domain, whereas the XDRP1S UbL domain was less likely to bind to the proteasome. Instead, XDRP1S not XDRP1L bound to monomeric cyclin A and prevented its degradation. The existence of such Dsk2-isoforms in Xenopus eggs suggests that the shuttling function via the UbL-UBA protein Dsk2 is evolutionally conserved across species.

The yeast UbL-UBA protein Dsk2 is thought to act as a shuttle protein that delivers polyubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome. Previously, we identified Xenopus Dsk2-related protein, XDRP1, as a cyclin A-interacting protein. Using Xenopus egg extracts, we further characterized its two isoforms, XDRP1L and XDRP1S, with respect to cyclin binding and its degradation. Polyubiquitinated cyclins bound to the UBA domain of XDRP1L and XDRP1S, whereas monomeric cyclins A and B bound to the UbL domain of XDRP1S but not to XDRP1L. Binding of XDRP1S with monomeric cyclins was affected by a Cdc2-mediated phosphorylation of either the XDRP1S UbL domain or cyclins. Degradation of cyclin B was also prevented by XDRP1S in a Cdc2-sensitive manner. Loss of the XDRP1S-cyclin interaction allowed cyclins to be degraded in calcium-treated CSF extracts. These results suggest that the shuttling pathway via the UbL-UBA protein XDRP1 participates in degradation of mitotic cyclins in Xenopus eggs.
