Abstract
The DNA repair protein HHR23A is a highly conserved protein that functions in nucleotide excision repair. HHR23A contains two ubiquitin associated domains (UBA) that are conserved in a number of proteins with diverse functions involved in ubiquitination, UV excision repair, and signaling pathways via protein kinases. The cellular binding partners of UBA domains remain unclear; however, we previously found that the HHR23A UBA(2) domain interacts specifically with the HIV-1 Vpr protein. Analysis of the low resolution solution structure of HHR23A UBA(2) revealed a hydrophobic loop region of the UBA(2) domain that we predicted was the interface for protein/protein interactions. Here we present results of in vitro binding studies that demonstrate the requirement of this hydrophobic loop region for interaction with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) Vpr. A single point mutation of the Pro at residue 333 to a Glu totally abolishes the binding of HIV-1 Vpr to UBA(2). High resolution NMR structures of the binding deficient UBA(2) mutant P333E as well as of the wild-type UBA(2) domain were determined to compare the effect of this mutation on the structure. Small but significant differences are observed only locally at the site of the mutation. The biochemical and structural analysis confirms the function of the HHR23A UBA(2) GFP-loop as the protein/protein interacting domain.

Figure 2. Abrogation of alleviation of Vpr-induced cell cycle arrest by overexpression of a 134-residue C-terminal portion of HHR23A, HHR23A(B213trunc), that contains a deletion of the C-terminal UBA domain. a, Hela cells were co-transfected with either BSVprThy or pXCThy and a 20-fold molar excess of either pXC (3.2 g), pXCB213 (4.0 g), or pXCB213trunc (4.0 g), and analyzed by flow cytometry as described^10. Duplicate cotransfections are shown except for mock-transfected cells. Panel I, mock transfected cells; panel II, BSVprThy and pXC; panel III, pXCThy and pXC; panel IV, BSVprThy and pXCB213; panel V, BSVprThy and pXCB213trunc. b, Expression of HHR23A(B213trunc) in Hela cells. Hela cells were co-transfected with BSVprThy and pXCB213 or pXCB213trunc, and analyzed by Western blotting as described. Lanes 1 and 2 contain lysates from duplicate samples of cells co-transfected with BSVprThy and pXCB213 (shown in (a ) panel IV), lanes 3 and 4 contain lysates from duplicate samples of cells co-transfected with BSVprThy and pXCB213trun c (shown in (a) panel V).
