Cryo-EM structure of KCTD5 in complex with Gbeta gamma subunits
Structural highlights
FunctionGBB1_HUMAN Guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) are involved as a modulator or transducer in various transmembrane signaling systems. The beta and gamma chains are required for the GTPase activity, for replacement of GDP by GTP, and for G protein-effector interaction.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedG protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling is precisely controlled to avoid overstimulation that results in detrimental consequences. Gbetagamma signaling is negatively regulated by a Cullin3 (Cul3)-dependent E3 ligase, KCTD5, which triggers ubiquitination and degradation of free Gbetagamma. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structures of the KCTD5-Gbetagamma fusion complex and the KCTD7-Cul3 complex. KCTD5 in pentameric form engages symmetrically with five copies of Gbetagamma through its C-terminal domain. The unique pentameric assembly of the KCTD5/Cul3 E3 ligase places the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) and the modification sites of Gbetagamma in close proximity and allows simultaneous transfer of ubiquitin from E2 to five Gbetagamma subunits. Moreover, we show that ubiquitination of Gbetagamma by KCTD5 is important for fine-tuning cyclic adenosine 3 ,5 -monophosphate signaling of GPCRs. Our studies provide unprecedented insights into mechanisms of substrate recognition by unusual pentameric E3 ligases and highlight the KCTD family as emerging regulators of GPCR signaling.
