Abstract
|
|
|
The ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of cyclin E plays a central role in
cell-cycle progression, and cyclin E accumulation is a common event in cancer.
Cyclin E degradation is triggered by multisite phosphorylation, which induces
binding to the SCF(Fbw7) ubiquitin ligase complex. Structures of the Skp1-Fbw7
complex bound to cyclin E peptides identify a doubly phosphorylated
pThr380/pSer384 cyclin E motif as an optimal, high-affinity degron and a singly
phosphorylated pThr62 motif as a low-affinity one. Biochemical data indicate
that the closely related yeast SCF(Cdc4) complex recognizes the multisite
phosphorylated Sic1 substrate similarly and identify three doubly phosphorylated
Sic1 degrons, each capable of high-affinity interactions with two Cdc4 phosphate
binding sites. A model that explains the role of multiple cyclin E/Sic1 degrons
is provided by the findings that Fbw7 and Cdc4 dimerize, that Fbw7 dimerization
enhances the turnover of a weakly associated cyclin E in vivo, and that Cdc4
dimerization increases the rate and processivity of Sic1 ubiquitination in vitro.

(A) Overall architecture of the complex, with the secondary
structure elements of Skp1, F box, and linker domains labeled.
Dotted lines indicate disordered regions.
(B) CycE^degC
binds across the narrow face of the Fbw7 β-propeller structure.
The eight Fbw7 blades and the strands for one blade are labeled.
(C) Sequence alignment of the cyclin E peptides used in
crystallization with other SCF^Fbw7 substrates. Arrow indicates
the type II β turn, cylinder the left-handed polyproline II
helix, dotted lines disordered regions, and crosses the residues
of CycE^degC and CycE^degC that contact Fbw7. The substrate
residues that match the structure-based degron motif (  -X-

-
-pT/S-P-P-X-pS/T,
with representing
a hydrophobic residue and X any amino acid) are highlighted in
yellow.
