Function
ZN363_HUMAN Mediates E3-dependent ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of target proteins, including p53/TP53, P73, HDAC1 and CDKN1B. Preferentially acts on tetrameric p53/TP53. Monoubiquitinates the translesion DNA polymerase POLH. Contributes to the regulation of the cell cycle progression. Increases AR transcription factor activity.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The ribosome-associated quality-control (RQC) pathway degrades aberrant nascent polypeptides arising from ribosome stalling during translation. In mammals, the E3 ligase Pirh2 mediates the degradation of aberrant nascent polypeptides by targeting the C-terminal polyalanine degrons (polyAla/C-degrons). Here, we present the crystal structure of Pirh2 bound to the polyAla/C-degron, which shows that the N-terminal domain and the RING domain of Pirh2 form a narrow groove encapsulating the alanine residues of the polyAla/C-degron. Affinity measurements in vitro and global protein stability assays in cells further demonstrate that Pirh2 recognizes a C-terminal A/S-X-A-A motif for substrate degradation. Taken together, our study provides the molecular basis underlying polyAla/C-degron recognition by Pirh2 and expands the substrate recognition spectrum of Pirh2.
