Structural highlights
FunctionPHF7_MOUSE May play a role in spermatogenesis.UB2D2_HUMAN Accepts ubiquitin from the E1 complex and catalyzes its covalent attachment to other proteins. In vitro catalyzes 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination. Mediates the selective degradation of short-lived and abnormal proteins. Functions in the E6/E6-AP-induced ubiquitination of p53/TP53. Mediates ubiquitination of PEX5 and autoubiquitination of STUB1 and TRAF6. Involved in the signal-induced conjugation and subsequent degradation of NFKBIA, FBXW2-mediated GCM1 ubiquitination and degradation, MDM2-dependent degradation of p53/TP53 and the activation of MAVS in the mitochondria by DDX58/RIG-I in response to viral infection. Essential for viral activation of IRF3.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe RING-type E3 ligase has been known for over two decades, yet its diverse modes of action are still the subject of active research. Plant homeodomain (PHD) finger protein 7 (PHF7) is a RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligase responsible for histone ubiquitination. PHF7 comprises three zinc finger domains: an extended PHD (ePHD), a RING domain, and a PHD. While the function of the RING domain is largely understood, the roles of the other two domains in E3 ligase activity remain elusive. Here, we present the crystal structure of PHF7 in complex with the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2). Our structure shows that E2 is effectively captured between the RING domain and the C-terminal PHD, facilitating E2 recruitment through direct contact. In addition, through in vitro binding and functional assays, we demonstrate that the N-terminal ePHD recognizes the nucleosome via DNA binding, whereas the C-terminal PHD is involved in histone H3 recognition. Our results provide a molecular basis for the E3 ligase activity of PHF7 and uncover the specific yet collaborative contributions of each domain to the PHF7 ubiquitination activity.
