Abstract

Leucine-zipper transcription regulator 1 (LZTR1) is a highly mutated tumor suppressor gene, involved in the pathogenesis of several cancer types and developmental disorders. In proteasomal degradation, it acts as an adaptor protein responsible for the recognition and recruitment of substrates to be ubiquitinated in Cullin3-RING ligase E3 (CRL3) machinery. LZTR1 belongs to the BTB-Kelch family, a multi-domain protein where the Kelch propeller plays as the substrate recognition region and for which no experimental structure has been solved. Recently, large effort mutational analyses pointed to the role of disease-associated LZTR1 mutations in the RAS/MAPK signaling pathway and RIT1, a small Ras-related GTPase protein, has been identified by mass spectroscopy to interact with LZTR1. Hence, a better understanding of native structure, molecular mechanism, and substrate specificity would help clarifying the role of LZTR1 in pathological diseases, thus promoting advancement in the development of novel therapeutic strategies. Here, we address the interaction model between adaptor LZTR1 and substrate RIT1 by applying an integrated computational approach, including molecular modeling and docking techniques. We observe that the interaction model LZTR1-RIT1 is stabilized by an electrostatic bond network established between the two protein surfaces, which is reminiscent of homologous ubiquitin ligases complexes. Then, running MD simulations, we characterize differential conformational dynamics of the multi-domain LZTR1, offering interesting implications on the mechanistic role of specific point mutations. We identify G248R and R283Q as damaging mutations involved in the recognition process of the substrate RIT1 and R412C as a possible allosteric mutation from the Kelch to the C-term BTB-domain. Our findings provide important structural insights on targeting CRL3s for drug discovery.

摘要

亮氨酸拉链转录调节因子 1(LZTR1)是一种高度突变的肿瘤抑制基因,参与多种癌症类型和发育障碍的发病机制。在蛋白酶体降解中,它作为一种衔接蛋白,负责识别和募集被 Cullin3-RING 连接酶 E3(CRL3)机器泛素化的底物。LZTR1 属于 BTB-Kelch 家族,一种多结构域蛋白,其中 Kelch 推进器作为底物识别区域,目前还没有实验结构得到解决。最近,大量的突变分析指出,疾病相关的 LZTR1 突变在 RAS/MAPK 信号通路和 RIT1 中起作用,RIT1 是一种小的 Ras 相关 GTP 酶蛋白,通过质谱分析被鉴定为与 LZTR1 相互作用。因此,更好地了解天然结构、分子机制和底物特异性将有助于澄清 LZTR1 在病理性疾病中的作用,从而促进新型治疗策略的发展。在这里,我们通过应用包括分子建模和对接技术在内的综合计算方法来解决衔接子 LZTR1 和底物 RIT1 之间的相互作用模型。我们观察到 LZTR1-RIT1 的相互作用模型是通过两个蛋白质表面之间建立的静电键网络稳定的,这类似于同源泛素连接酶复合物。然后,通过运行 MD 模拟,我们对多结构域 LZTR1 的差异构象动力学进行了表征,这为特定点突变的机械作用提供了有趣的启示。我们确定 G248R 和 R283Q 是涉及底物 RIT1 识别过程的有害突变,而 R412C 是从 Kelch 到 C 端 BTB 结构域的可能别构突变。我们的研究结果为针对 CRL3s 进行药物发现提供了重要的结构见解。
