Mechanism underlying linkage-selective polyubiquitin recognition
… When Ub itself is ubiquitylated, eight types of polyubiquitin (polyUb) chains can be formed: M1, K6, K11, K27, K29, K33, K48 and K63. Each one of these different chain types can couple modified proteins to diverse cellular signalling pathways. For example, proteins modified with K48 polyUb chains …

Regulation of DHX16-mediated Innate Immunity by Unanchored Polyubiquitin
… modifications (PTMs), like unanchored (or free) polyubiquitin (poly-Ub), which properly regulate IFN-I to elicit responses as needed. Despite its known roles regulating critical IFN-I pathways, the extent to which unanchored poly-Ub is involved in innate immunity is unknown. To identify whether …

STRUCTURAL INSIGHTS INTO POLYUBIQUITIN CHAIN FORMATION MEDIATED BY NEDD4 HECT LIGASE
… with a single ubiquitin moiety or K63-linked polyubiquitin chains. Despite its critical role, the structural and mechanistic aspects of NEDD4-mediated polyubiquitination remain enigmatic. Our lab previously identified a ubiquitin exosite within HECT as critical determinant for enzyme …

Polyubiquitin chain editing by UCH37 promotes degradation of a subset of proteasome substrates
Branched polyubiquitin can serve as a priority signal for proteasomal degradation by enhancing proteasomal degradation of modified substrates relative to substrates modified with homotypic K48-linked polyubiquitin chains. UCH37, a proteasome-associated deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB), has been shown …

Structural characterization of interaction of K11 and K63 mixed-linkage polyubiquitin chains with the tUIMs of epsin1
… attachment of ubiquitin monomers within a polyubiquitin chain via a specific lysine residue. Thus the hypothesis is that linkage defines polyubiquitin conformation which in turn determines specific recognition by cellular receptors. Ubiquitylation of membrane surface receptor proteins plays …

Liquid-Liquid Phase Separations in Innate Immune DNA Sensing and NF-κB Signaling Pathways
… NEMO activates IKK complex by binding to polyubiquitin chains. Here we show that Lys63(K63)-linked or linear(M1)-linked polyubiquitin chains binding to NEMO robustly induced the formation of liquidlike droplets in which IKK was activated both in vitro and in cells. Both NEMO ubiquitin …

Biochemical Mechanism of Protein Kinase Activation by the Ubiquitination System
… TAK1-IKK cascade by TRAF6 and Ubc13/Uev1A in a polyubiquitinationdependent manner. Mechanistically how TAK1 is activated by the TRAF6- Ubc13/Uev1A dependent polyubiquitination system is unknown. Whether TAK1 and IKK kinases can be activated by other than TRAF6-Ubc13/Uev1A is an open question. By …

Structural and biophysical analysis of the proteasomal deubiquitinase, UCH37
… disassembly of polymeric ubiquitin chains, or polyubiquitin, which have been ligated onto proteins in order to target them for degradation. The 26S utilizes two associated deubiquitinating enzymes, UCH37 and USP14, and one intrinsic, Rpn11, to remove polyubiquitin chains from substrate proteins …

Mechanisms of TRIM21-directed intracellular degradation
… binds and decorates the complex with these polyubiquitin chains. Polyubiquitin is a highly-conserved protein post- translational modification with a number of important roles, including the initiation of degradative processes and antiviral genetic programs. Polyubiquitin-coated …

Hrd1 Partners In Endoplasmic Reticulum-Associated Degradation
… ubiquitin-conjugase Ube2G2 make only K48-linked polyubiquitin. This type of chain is classically tied to protein degradation by the proteasome. However HRD1, in the presence of another conjugase Ube2J1, forms unconventional K11-, K29-, and K33-linked polyubiquitin chains. These in vitro findings …

Decoding Lysine-11 Signals in Ubiquitination
… signals, focusing on lysine-11 (K11) linked polyubiquitin chains and their role in protein degradation. I established in vitro assays to understand how K11-chains are decoded and whether these chains act as a signal for proteasome-mediated degradation. Pure homotypic K11-chains did not bind …

Mechanism of Ubiquitin Induced Activation of RIG-I Like Receptors in Antiviral Innate Immunity
… E3 ligase, TRIM25, promotes Lysine 63-linked polyubiquitination of RIG-I, and is essential for the RIG-I antiviral pathway. However, the biochemical mechanisms by which RIG-I is activated by ubiquitin remain poorly understood. In addition, whether ubiquitination is involved in MDA5 activation …

INSIGHTS INTO SUBSTRATE RECOGNITION BY THE ANAPHASE PROMOTING COMPLEX (APC)

Investigation into ubiquitin signalling in response to cisplatin

Biochemical and Genetic Studies on CC2D1A, a new NF-κB Activator and a Regulator of Synaptic Functions
… enzyme specific for Lysine-63 linked polyubiquitin chains, negatively regulates the activity of CC2D1A. These results suggest that CC2D1A activates NF-κB through the canonical IKK pathway. In an attempt to identify the physiological function of CC2D1A, I generated CC2D1A knockout mice. …
