Title Structural determinants for the binding of ubiquitin-Like domains to the proteasome.

Abstract
HHR23A, a protein implicated in nucleotide excision repair, belongs to a class of proteins containing both a ubiquitin-like (Ubl) domain and one or more ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains, suggesting a role in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway as well. The Ubl domain binds with high affinity to the second ubiquitin-interacting motif (UIM) of the S5a subunit of the proteasome. Here we present the solution structures of the HHR23A Ubl domain, the second UIM of S5a (UIM-2), and the Ubl:S5a-UIM-2 complex. The HHR23A Ubl domain is structurally similar to ubiquitin. The S5a UIM forms an alpha-helix with an unexpected hairpin loop that contributes to the binding interface with Ubl. The molecular determinants of the Ubl-proteasome interaction are revealed by analysis of the structures, chemical shift mapping, mutant binding studies and sequence conservation.

Full text Abstract
Figure 2.
Figure 2. Stereoviews of the internal UBA domain UBA(1) of HHR23A (SWISS PROT code R23A_HUMAN) (human homologue of RAD23A) showing residues Thr156 to Gly204. (a) Ribbon representation. The three helices are labeled a1, a2, and a3. (b) Superposition of the ten lowest-energy structures. The backbone atoms are shown in black for carbon atoms, blue for nitrogen atoms, and the carbonyl oxygen atoms are omitted. The side-chains for residues forming the hydrophobic core are shown in green. The N-terminal residues 155-160 are disordered and are not shown.

Figure 4. A potential protein-protein binding interface of UBA domains is built from hydrophobic residues on the surface. (a) Surface representation of UBA(1) (left) using the following color coding: red, acidic amino acid residues Glu and Asp; blue, basic amino acid residues Arg and Lys, orange, polar amino acid residues Asn, Gln, His, Ser and Thr; white, hydrophobic residues Ala, Gly, Phe, Ile, Pro, Met, Leu, Tyr and Val. The major accessible residues on the hydrophobic surface, Met173, Gly174, Y175, L199 and I202, are marked. The size of the epitope is approximately 470 Å2. The right picture shows the orientation of the helical bundle with respect to the surface representation. The hydrophobic surface patch consists mainly of residues from loop 1 between helices 1 and 2 as well as residues from helix 3. (b) For comparison, the surface of UBA(2) is shown in the same orientation as UBA(1), revealing that the location of the hydrophobic epitope is indeed conserved and consists of identical or homologous residues. The C terminus of UBA(2) is not shown, due to its flexibility.
