Structural highlights
FunctionDOA10_YEAST E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin specifically from endoplasmic reticulum-associated UBC6 and UBC7 E2 ligases, and transfers it to substrates promoting their degradation. Mediates the degradation of a broad range of substrates, inluding endoplasmic reticulum membrane proteins (ERQC), soluble nuclear proteins and soluble cytoplasmic proteins (CytoQC). Component of the DOA10 ubiquitin ligase complex, which is part of the ERAD-C pathway responsible for the rapid degradation of membrane proteins with misfolded cytoplasmic domains. ERAD-C substrates are ubiquitinated through DOA10 in conjunction with the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes UBC6 and UBC7-CUE1. Ubiquitinated substrates are then removed to the cytosol via the action of the UFD1-NPL4-CDC48/p97 (UNC) AAA ATPase complex and targeted to the proteasome. Also recognizes the N-terminally acetylated residue of proteins as degradation signal (degron). N-terminally acetylated target proteins include MATALPHA2, TBF1, SLK19, YMR090W, HIS3, HSP104, UBP6 and ARO8.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Publication Abstract from PubMedTransmembrane E3 ligases play crucial roles in homeostasis. Much protein and organelle quality control, and metabolic regulation, are determined by ER-resident MARCH6 E3 ligases, including Doa10 in yeast. Here, we present Doa10/MARCH6 structural analysis by cryo-EM and AlphaFold predictions, and a structure-based mutagenesis campaign. The majority of Doa10/MARCH6 adopts a unique circular structure within the membrane. This channel is established by a lipid-binding scaffold, and gated by a flexible helical bundle. The ubiquitylation active site is positioned over the channel by connections between the cytosolic E3 ligase RING domain and the membrane-spanning scaffold and gate. Here, by assaying 95 MARCH6 variants for effects on stability of the well-characterized substrate SQLE, which regulates cholesterol levels, we reveal crucial roles of the gated channel and RING domain consistent with AlphaFold-models of substrate-engaged and ubiquitylation complexes. SQLE degradation further depends on connections between the channel and RING domain, and lipid binding sites, revealing how interconnected Doa10/MARCH6 elements could orchestrate metabolic signals, substrate binding, and E3 ligase activity. Doa10/MARCH6 architecture interconnects E3 ligase activity with lipid-binding transmembrane channel to regulate SQLE.,Botsch JJ, Junker R, Sorgenfrei M, Ogger PP, Stier L, von Gronau S, Murray PJ, Seeger MA, Schulman BA, Brauning B Nat Commun. 2024 Jan 9;15(1):410. doi: 10.1038/s41467-023-44670-5.
