Id proteins negatively regulate the dimerization, DNA binding, and biological properties of basic helix-loop-helix proteins. In a search for novel factors that interact with Id1, we identified a component of the 26 S proteasome, S5a, that has previously been implicated only in the recognition of ubiquitinated polypeptides destined for proteolysis. S5a interacts strongly with Id1, less strongly with the basic helix-loop-helix proteins MyoD and E12, and not at all with other Id proteins. S5a restores DNA binding by MyoD-Id1 and E12-Id1 heterodimers, enhances DNA binding by MyoD and E12 homodimers, and reverses Id1-mediated repression of the muscle creatine kinase promoter during myogenic differentiation. Mutagenesis experiments showed that amino acids flanking the helix-loop-helix domain plus three residues in the first helix of Id1 impart S5a recognition. This requires only the NH2-terminal half of S5a. S5a thus appears to promote the positive regulation of myogenic genes through ubiquitin-independent mechanisms involving inhibition of Id1 and the enhancement of DNA binding by MyoD and E12. This latter property may permit the selection of novel promoter binding sites during myogenesis.

MyoD is a tissue-specific transcriptional activator that acts as a master switch for skeletal muscle differentiation. Its activity is induced during the transition from proliferating, nondifferentiated myoblasts to resting, well-differentiated myotubes. Like many other transcriptional regulators, it is a short-lived protein; however, the targeting proteolytic pathway and the underlying regulatory mechanisms involved in the process have remained obscure. It has recently been shown that many short-lived regulatory proteins are degraded by the ubiquitin system. Degradation of a protein by the ubiquitin system proceeds via two distinct and successive steps, conjugation of multiple molecules of ubiquitin to the target protein and degradation of the tagged substrate by the 26S proteasome. Here we show that MyoD is degraded by the ubiquitin system both in vivo and in vitro. In intact cells, the degradation is inhibited by lactacystin, a specific inhibitor of the 26S proteasome. Inhibition is accompanied by accumulation of high-molecular-mass MyoD-ubiquitin conjugates. In a cell-free system, the proteolytic process requires both ATP and ubiquitin and, like the in vivo process, is preceded by formation of ubiquitin conjugates of the transcription factor. Interestingly, the process is inhibited by the specific DNA sequence to which MyoD binds: conjugation and degradation of a MyoD mutant protein which lacks the DNA-binding domain are not inhibited. The inhibitory effect of the DNA requires the formation of a complex between the DNA and the MyoD protein. Id1, which inhibits the binding of MyoD complexes to DNA, abrogates the effect of DNA on stabilization of the protein.

Id proteins act as negative regulators of bHLH transcription factors by forming transcriptionally inactive protein complexes. The proposed function of these proteins includes promotion of cell growth and cell cycle progression, induction of apoptosis, and inhibition of cellular differentiation. We investigated the role of the ubiquitin-mediated proteolytic pathway in the degradation of the Id3 protein. We found Id3 to be a short-lived protein and estimated the half-life to be approximately 20 min in 293 cells. Using specific inhibitors of the 26S proteasome and mutant fibroblast cells with a temperature-sensitive defect in the essential E1 ubiquitin-activating enzyme, we show that Id3 and the related Id1 and Id2 proteins are degraded through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. We found the Id4 protein to be much less sensitive to inhibitors of the 26S proteasome, but its degradation was dependent on the E1 enzyme. In addition, we observed that coexpression of the bHLH protein E47 with Id3 significantly reduced the rate of degradation of Id3, suggesting that Id3 is less susceptible to degradation by the 26S proteasome when complexed to a bHLH protein. -Bounpheng, M.

Degradation of many short-lived cellular proteins such as the transcription factor MyoD occurs via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. MyoD, similar to many rapidly degraded regulatory factors, interacts with several high affinity binding partners, including members of the Id (inhibitors of DNA binding) family. Following transfection to HeLa cells, Id1 is localized to the nucleus and rapidly (t(1/2) approximately 1 h) degraded via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Mutagenesis of lysine residues within the putative nuclear localization region (amino acids 68-82) directs Id1(NLS) to the cytoplasm yet confers an increased rate of degradation (t(1/2) approximately 0.5 h). Id1 in which all lysine residues were mutagenized to alanine (lysineless Id1) was also rapidly degraded (t(1/2) approximately 0.6 h). Addition of a Myc(6) tag to the N terminus of lysine-less Id1 markedly stabilized Id1 (t(1/2) > 10 h) and suggests degradation via the N terminus-dependent pathway. Co-transfection of MyoD with Id1 or Id1(NLS) increases Id1 or Id1(NLS) within the nucleus and markedly reduces the rate of Id1 or Id1(NLS) degradation. These results thus demonstrate that in vivo MyoD modulates the rate of Id1 degradation and suggest a dynamic interplay of these factors.

Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) induces a switch in differentiation of mesenchymal cells from the myogenic to the osteogenic lineage. Here we describe that in C2C12 cells, BMP-2 decreases myogenin expression induced by des-(1,3) insulin-like growth factor-1 (des-(1,3)IGF-1) or ectopically expressed from a constitutive promoter, even in conditions where myogenin mRNA levels were unaffected. Addition of BMP-2 decreases myogenin protein half-life to 50%, whereas proteasome inhibitors abolish these effects. Forced expression of Id1, either by transient transfection or under the control of an inducible system, causes degradation of myogenin in the absence of BMP-2. In contrast, E47 overexpression blocks the inhibitory effect of BMP-2 on myogenin levels. Finally, expression of E47 in 293 cells stabilizes myogenin, an effect that is dependent on the heterodimerization mediated by their helix-loop-helix. Our findings indicate that induction of Id1 not only blocks transcriptional activity but also induces myogenin degradation by blocking formation of myogenin-E47 protein complexes.

Recently, evidence is accumulating pointing to a function of the COP9 signalosome (CSN) in regulation of ubiquitination by specific ubiquitin ligases. Here, we demonstrate by mammalian two-hybrid analysis that the transcriptional regulators and substrates of the ubiquitin system Id1 and Id3, but not Id2 and Id4, bind to the CSN subunit CSN5. Pull-down experiments revealed that Id3 physically interacts with the CSN complex. Additional far Western and pull-down studies with Id3 support our two-hybrid data and show that the transcription regulator can bind to CSN5 and CSN7. Recombinant Id3 is not phosphorylated by the CSN-associated kinases CK2 and PKD. However, it inhibits c-Jun and CSN2 phosphorylation by the isolated CSN complex and by the recombinant CK2. The inhibitors of CSN associated kinases, curcumin and emodin, significantly induce ubiquitination and proteasome-dependent degradation of transiently expressed Id3 in HeLa cells. Proteasome-dependent degradation of endogenous Id1 in HeLa cells is also stimulated by treatment with curcumin or emodin. Ubiquitination of Id3 is shown directly by cotransfection of HeLa cells with Id3 and His-ubiquitin cDNA. Curcumin increased Id3-ubiquitin conjugate formation, as shown by Western blotting and His-pull-downs. In addition, overexpression of CSN2 leads to stabilization of Id3 protein. On the basis of these data, it is speculated that CSN-mediated phosphorylation inhibits ubiquitination of Id1 and Id3.

Mammalian skeletal myogenesis results in the differentiation of myoblasts to mature syncytial myotubes, a process regulated by an intricate genetic network of at least three protein families: muscle regulatory factors, E proteins, and Id proteins. MyoD, a key muscle regulatory factor, and its negative regulator Id1 have both been shown to be degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Using C2C12 cells and confocal fluorescence microscopy, we showed that MyoD and Id1 co-localize within the nucleus in proliferating myoblasts. In mature myotubes, in contrast, they reside in distinctive subcellular compartments, with MyoD within the nucleus and Id1 exclusively in the cytoplasm. Cellular abundance of Id1 was markedly diminished from the very onset of muscle differentiation, whereas MyoD abundance was reduced to a much lesser extent and only at the later stages of differentiation. These reductions in MyoD and Id1 protein levels seem to result from a change in the rate of protein synthesis rather than the rate of degradation. In vivo protein stability studies revealed that the rates of ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated MyoD and Id1 degradation are independent of myogenic differentiation state. Id1 and MyoD were both rapidly degraded, each with a t 1/2 approximately = 1 h in myoblasts and in myotubes. Furthermore, relative protein synthesis rates for MyoD and Id1 were significantly diminished during myoblast to myotube differentiation. These results provide insight as to the interaction between MyoD and Id1 in the process of muscle differentiation and have implications for the involvement of the ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated protein degradation and protein synthesis in muscle differentiation and metabolism under abnormal and pathological conditions.

Programs of tissue differentiation are likely controlled by factors regulating gene expression and protein degradation. In muscle, the degradation of the muscle transcription factor MyoD and its inhibitor Id1 occurs via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. E12 and E47, splice products of the E2A gene, interact with MyoD to activate transcription of the muscle program and are also degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (t(1/2) = approximately 6 h). E12 and E47 each contain two regions of basic amino acids, which, when mutated, lead to cytoplasmic accumulation of the proteins. These NLS mutants (E12(NLS), E47(NLS)) are degraded with a half-life similar to the wild-type proteins. In nonmuscle cells, cotransfection of either E12 or E47 with MyoD extended MyoD's half-life from approximately 1 to approximately 4 h. In addition, cotransfection of either E12 or E47 with Id1 led to a marked reduction in Id1's degradation rate from t(1/2) of approximately 1 to approximately 8 h. Furthermore, the cotransfection of NLS deficient mutants of MyoD or Id1 with E12 or E47 resulted in altered intracellular localization of the proteins largely dependent upon the E12 or E47 moiety. Cotransfection of wild-type MyoD or Id1 with NLS deficient mutants of E12 or E47 also led to an altered intracellular localization of MyoD and Id1. These results demonstrate in vivo that E12 and E47 modulate both MyoD and Id1 degradation and may have implications for the physiological regulation of muscle development.

Overexpression of the helix-loop-helix protein Id-1 has been reported in over 20 types of cancer. While a number of factors have been demonstrated to regulate Id-1 gene transcription, little is known about the mechanisms responsible for its degradation. In this study, we have demonstrated that Id-1 protein stability was regulated by TNFalpha in prostate cancer cells. We found that exposure of prostate cancer cell lines, DU145 and PC-3, to TNFalpha resulted in a rapid and significant downregulation of the Id-1 protein level. The fact that neither the Id-1 promoter activity nor the Id-1 mRNA level was affected by the TNFalpha treatment suggested that the decrease in Id-1 protein was not due to the suppression of gene transcription. In addition, the half-life of the Id-1 protein was decreased in both cell lines in the presence of TNFalpha, and the addition of an ubiquitin/proteasome inhibitor (MG-132) prior to the TNFalpha treatment completely blocked the effect of the TNFalpha-induced Id-1 protein degradation. Furthermore, introduction of a Flag-tag sequence into the N-terminus region of the Id-1 protein, which has been shown to stabilize the protein, was able to protect the Id-1 protein from TNFalpha-induced degradation. These results suggest that TNFalpha downregulated Id-1 through activation of the ubiquitin/proteasome degradation pathway in prostate cancer cells. Interestingly, in both DU145 and PC-3 cells, the decrease of Id-1 protein was associated with the activation of apoptotic pathway, as evidenced by the increased expression of cleaved PARP and caspase 3. In addition, TNFalpha failed to downregulate Id-1 in a sub-line of LNCaP cells that was resistant to TNFalpha-induced apoptosis. These results further suggest that the downregulation of Id-1 may facilitate TNFalpha-induced apoptosis in prostate cancer cells. In conclusion, our findings indicate that Id-1 protein may be regulated by TNFalpha through the ubiquitin/proteasome degradation pathway and the stability of the Id-1 protein appears to correlate with the sensitivity of TNFalpha-induced apoptosis.

MyoD, a skeletal muscle transcription factor, is rapidly degraded by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. MyoD interacts with ubiquitously expressed E2A or inhibitor of DNA binding (Id) proteins to activate or inhibit transcription, respectively. Furthermore, MyoD has been shown to modulate the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of Id1 and E2A proteins, E12 and E47. The molecular mechanisms governing these events are not clear but are hypothesized to occur via heterodimer formation. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a technique for evaluation of protein-protein interactions in vivo. Using acceptor photobleaching FRET and chimeric proteins composed of MyoD, Id1, E12, E47, E12(NLS), or MyoD(NLS) and either cyan fluorescent protein or yellow fluorescent protein, we show that each of the wild-type proteins is capable of homodimerization. In addition, heterodimers form between Id1 and E2A proteins, as well as between MyoD and E2A proteins. The Id1:E2A interaction is stronger than the MyoD:E2A interaction, which is consistent with the notion that inhibition of MyoD action occurs by the sequestration of E2A proteins by Id. The stronger interaction of Id1 with E2A may also explain the decrease in the rate of ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of Id1 that is significantly greater than that of MyoD when E2A proteins are abundant. Thus, these studies extend our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of MyoD action.
