Complex structure of PCNA with UHRF2
Structural highlights
Disease[UHRF2_HUMAN] Associated with various cancers. DNA copy number loss is found in multiple kinds of malignancies originating from the brain, breast, stomach, kidney, hematopoietic tissue and lung. Function[PCNA_HUMAN] Auxiliary protein of DNA polymerase delta and is involved in the control of eukaryotic DNA replication by increasing the polymerase's processibility during elongation of the leading strand. Induces a robust stimulatory effect on the 3'-5' exonuclease and 3'-phosphodiesterase, but not apurinic-apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease, APEX2 activities. Has to be loaded onto DNA in order to be able to stimulate APEX2. Plays a key role in DNA damage response (DDR) by being conveniently positioned at the replication fork to coordinate DNA replication with DNA repair and DNA damage tolerance pathways. Acts as a loading platform to recruit DDR proteins that allow completion of DNA replication after DNA damage and promote postreplication repair: Monoubiquitinated PCNA leads to recruitment of translesion (TLS) polymerases, while 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination of PCNA is involved in error-free pathway and employs recombination mechanisms to synthesize across the lesion.[1] [2] [UHRF2_HUMAN] E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that is an intermolecular hub protein in the cell cycle network. Through cooperative DNA and histone binding, may contribute to a tighter epigenetic control of gene expression in differentiated cells. Ubiquitinates cyclins, CCND1 and CCNE1, in an apparently phosphorylation-independent manner and induces G1 arrest. Also ubiquitinates PCNP leading to its degradation by the proteasome. E3 SUMO-, but not ubiquitin-, protein ligase for ZNF131.[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Publication Abstract from PubMedUHRF2 (Ubiquitin-like with PHD and ring finger domains 2) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that plays important roles in DNA methylation, histone modifications and cell cycle regulation by interacting with multiple epigenetic or cell-cycle related proteins. Previous studied have identified PCNA (Proliferating cell nuclear antigen) as an interacting partner of UHRF2 by using the antibody microarray. However, the molecular mechanism and the function of UHRF2-PCNA interaction remains unclear. Here, we report the complex structure of PCNA and the peptide (784NEILQTLLDLFFPGYSK800) derived from UHRF2 that contains a PIP box. Structural analysis combined with mutagenesis experiments provide the molecular basis for the recognition of UHRF2 by PCNA via PIP-box.
