Abstract
Tom1 (Target of Myb1) is suggested to be involved in the transport of ubiquitinated proteins, through the interaction of its GAT (GGA and Tom1) domain with ubiquitin. Here, we demonstrate that the three-helix bundle of Tom1-GAT has two ubiquitin-binding sites recognizing the hydrophobic Ile44 surface of ubiquitin. The complex crystal structure demonstrates that the first site is a hydrophobic patch on helices alpha1 and alpha2. NMR and biochemical data revealed that the N-terminal half of helix alpha3 of Tom1-GAT constitutes the second, stronger binding site. The double-sided ubiquitin binding enhances the efficiency of recognition of ubiquitinated proteins by Tom1.

Fig. 3. Ubiquitin-binding Site 1 of Tom1-GAT. (A) Stereo ribbon representation of the interface between Site 1 of Tom1-GAT (red) and ubiquitin (blue), in the same view as Fig. 1A. Side chains of Tom1-GAT and ubiquitin directly involved in the interactions are shown in ball-and-stick models with labels. The salt bridge between Glu256 and Arg42 is indicated by a red line. (B) The molecular surface of ubiquitin is shown with a ribbon drawing of GAT, in the same view as (A). Hydrophobic residues of ubiquitin are colored green. Residues participating in the interaction are labeled. (C) The molecular surface of GAT is shown with a line drawing of ubiquitin, in the view rotated 180° about the vertical axis relative to (A).
