SUMO1 bound to phosphorylated SLS4-SIM peptide from ICP0
Structural highlights
DiseaseSUMO1_HUMAN Defects in SUMO1 are the cause of non-syndromic orofacial cleft type 10 (OFC10) [MIM:613705; also called non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate 10. OFC10 is a birth defect consisting of cleft lips with or without cleft palate. Cleft lips are associated with cleft palate in two-third of cases. A cleft lip can occur on one or both sides and range in severity from a simple notch in the upper lip to a complete opening in the lip extending into the floor of the nostril and involving the upper gum. Note=A chromosomal aberation involving SUMO1 is the cause of OFC10. Translocation t(2;8)(q33.1;q24.3). The breakpoint occurred in the SUMO1 gene and resulted in haploinsufficiency confirmed by protein assays.[1] FunctionSUMO1_HUMAN Ubiquitin-like protein that can be covalently attached to proteins as a monomer or a lysine-linked polymer. Covalent attachment via an isopeptide bond to its substrates requires prior activation by the E1 complex SAE1-SAE2 and linkage to the E2 enzyme UBE2I, and can be promoted by E3 ligases such as PIAS1-4, RANBP2 or CBX4. This post-translational modification on lysine residues of proteins plays a crucial role in a number of cellular processes such as nuclear transport, DNA replication and repair, mitosis and signal transduction. Involved for instance in targeting RANGAP1 to the nuclear pore complex protein RANBP2. Polymeric SUMO1 chains are also susceptible to polyubiquitination which functions as a signal for proteasomal degradation of modified proteins. May also regulate a network of genes involved in palate development.[2] [3] [4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedWhen the herpes simplex virus (HSV) genome enters the nucleus for replication and transcription, phase-segregated nuclear protein bodies called Promyelocytic leukemia protein nuclear bodies (PML NBs) colocalize with the genome and repress it. HSV encodes a small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL) infected cell polypeptide 0 (ICP0) that degrades PML NBs to alleviate the repression. The molecular details of the mechanism used by ICP0 to target PML NBs are unclear. Here, we identify a bona fide SUMO-interacting motif in ICP0 (SIM-like sequence [SLS] 4) that is essential and sufficient to target SUMOylated proteins in PML NBs such as the PML and Sp100. We shown that phosphorylation of SLS4 creates new salt bridges between SUMO and SLS4, increases the SUMO/SLS4 affinity, and switches ICP0 into a potent STUbL. HSV activates the Ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated kinase-Checkpoint kinase 2 (ATM-Chk2) pathway to regulate the cell cycle of the host. We report that the activated Chk2 also phosphorylates ICP0 at SLS4 and enhances its STUbL activity. Our results uncover that a viral STUbL counters antiviral response by exploiting an unprecedented cross-talk of three post-translational modifications: ubiquitination, SUMOylation, and phosphorylation. The Viral SUMO-Targeted Ubiquitin Ligase ICP0 is Phosphorylated and Activated by Host Kinase Chk2.,Hembram DSS, Negi H, Biswas P, Tripathi V, Bhushan L, Shet D, Kumar V, Das R J Mol Biol. 2020 Jan 27. pii: S0022-2836(20)30073-5. doi:, 10.1016/j.jmb.2020.01.021.
