    • Serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 (SHMT2) regulates one-carbon transfer reactions that are essential for amino acid and nucleotide metabolism, and uses pyridoxal-5′-phosphate (PLP) as a cofactor. Apo SHMT2 exists as a dimer with unknown functions, whereas PLP binding stabilizes the active tetrameric state. SHMT2 also promotes inflammatory cytokine signalling by interacting with the deubiquitylating BRCC36 isopeptidase complex (BRISC), although it is unclear whether this function relates to metabolism. Here we present the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the human BRISC–SHMT2 complex at a resolution of 3.8 Å. BRISC is a U-shaped dimer of four subunits, and SHMT2 sterically blocks the BRCC36 active site and inhibits deubiquitylase activity. Only the inactive SHMT2 dimer—and not the active PLP-bound tetramer—binds and inhibits BRISC. Mutations in BRISC that disrupt SHMT2 binding impair type I interferon signalling in response to inflammatory stimuli. Intracellular levels of PLP regulate the interaction between BRISC and SHMT2, as well as inflammatory cytokine responses. These data reveal a mechanism in which metabolites regulate deubiquitylase activity and inflammatory signalling.

  • Pseudo-DUBs as allosteric activators and molecular scaffolds of protein complexes
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: Biochemical Society Transactions. - 0300-5127. ; 46:2, s. 453-466
  • Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The ubiquitin (Ub) proteasome system and Ub signalling networks are crucial to cell biology and disease development. Deubiquitylases (DUBs) control cell signalling by removing mono-Ub and polyubiquitin chains from substrates. DUBs take part in almost all processes that regulate cellular life and are frequently dysregulated in disease. We have catalogued 99 currently known DUBs in the human genome and sequence conservation analyses of catalytic residues suggest that 11 lack enzyme activity and are classed as pseudo-DUBs. These pseudoenzymes play important biological roles by allosterically activating catalytically competent DUBs as well as other active enzymes. Additionally, pseudoenzymes act as assembly scaffolds of macromolecular complexes. We discuss how pseudo-DUBs have lost their catalytic activity, their diverse mechanisms of action and their potential as therapeutic targets. Many known pseudo-DUBs play crucial roles in cell biology and it is likely that unstudied and overlooked pseudo-DUB genes will have equally important functions.
