Structural highlights
FunctionSPOP_HUMAN Inhibits IPF1/PDX1 transactivation of established target promoters, such as insulin, may be by recruiting a repressor complex (By similarity). In complex with CUL3, involved in ubiquitination of BMI1, H2AFY and DAXX, and probably also in ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of Gli2 or Gli3.[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) functions in the Cullin3-RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL3) as a receptor for the recognition of substrates involved in cell growth, survival, and signaling. SPOP mutations have been attributed to the development of many types of cancers, including prostate and endometrial cancers. Prostate cancer mutations localize in the substrate-binding site of the substrate recognition (MATH) domain and reduce or prevent binding. However, most endometrial cancer mutations are dispersed in seemingly inconspicuous solvent-exposed regions of SPOP, offering no clear basis for their cancer-causing and peculiar gain-of-function properties. Herein, we present the first structure of SPOP in its oligomeric form, uncovering several new interfaces important for SPOP self-assembly and normal function. Given that many previously unaccounted-for cancer mutations are localized in these newly identified interfaces, we uncover molecular mechanisms underlying dysregulation of SPOP function, with effects ranging from gross structural changes to enhanced self-association, and heightened stability and activity. Higher-order SPOP assembly reveals a basis for cancer mutant dysregulation.,Cuneo MJ, O'Flynn BG, Lo YH, Sabri N, Mittag T Mol Cell. 2023 Mar 2;83(5):731-745.e4. doi: 10.1016/j.molcel.2022.12.033.
