The F-box protein Skp2 mediates c-Myc ubiquitylation by binding to the MB2 domain. However, the turnover of c-Myc is largely dependent on phosphorylation of threonine-58 and serine-62 in MB1, residues that are often mutated in cancer. We now show that the F-box protein Fbw7 interacts with and thereby destabilizes c-Myc in a manner dependent on phosphorylation of MB1. Whereas wild-type Fbw7 promoted c-Myc turnover in cells, an Fbw7 mutant lacking the F-box domain delayed it. Furthermore, depletion of Fbw7 by RNA interference increased both the abundance and transactivation activity of c-Myc. Accumulation of c-Myc was also apparent in mouse Fbw7-/- embryonic stem cells. These observations suggest that two F-box proteins, Fbw7 and Skp2, differentially regulate c-Myc stability by targeting MB1 and MB2, respectively.
F-box蛋白Skp2通过与MB2结构域结合介导c-Myc的泛素化。然而,c-Myc的周转很大程度上依赖于MB1中苏氨酸-58和丝氨酸-62的磷酸化,这些残基在癌症中经常发生突变。我们现在表明,F-box蛋白Fbw7以依赖于MB1磷酸化的方式与c-Myc相互作用,从而使其不稳定。野生型Fbw7促进细胞中c-Myc的周转,而缺乏F-box结构域的Fbw7突变体则延迟了这一过程。此外,通过RNA干扰耗尽Fbw7会增加c-Myc的丰度和反式激活活性。在小鼠Fbw7-/-胚胎干细胞中也明显可见c-Myc的积累。这些观察结果表明,两种F-box蛋白Fbw7和Skp2分别通过靶向MB1和MB2来差异调节c-Myc的稳定性。
