Abstract

E2F 1, 2, and 3a, (refer to as E2Fs) are a subfamily of E2F transcription factor family that play essential roles in cell-cycle progression, DNA replication, DNA repair, apoptosis, and differentiation. Although the transcriptional regulation of E2Fs has focused on pocket protein retinoblastoma protein complex, recent studies indicate that post-translational modification and stability regulation of E2Fs play key roles in diverse cellular processes. In this study, we found that FBXO1, a component of S-phase kinase-associated protein 1 (SKP1)-cullin 1-F-box protein (SCF) complex, is an E2Fs binding partner. Furthermore, FBXO1 to E2Fs binding induced K48 ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of E2Fs. Binding domain analysis indicated that the Arg (R)/Ile (I) and R/Val (V) motifs, which are located in the dimerization domain of E2Fs, of E2F 1 and 3a and E2F2, respectively, acted as degron motifs (DMs) for FBXO1. Notably, RI/AA or RV/AA mutation in the DMs reduced FBXO1-mediated ubiquitination and prolonged the half-lives of E2Fs. Importantly, the stabilities of E2Fs were affected by phosphorylation of threonine residues located near RI and RV residues of DMs. Phosphorylation prediction database analysis and specific inhibitor analysis revealed that MEK/ERK signaling molecules play key roles in FBXO1/E2Fs' interaction and modulate E2F protein turnover. Moreover, both elevated E2Fs protein levels by knockdown of FBXO1 and decreased E2Fs protein levels by sh-E2F3a delayed G/S cell cycle transition, resulting in inhibition of cancer cell proliferation. These results demonstrated that FBXO1-E2Fs axis-mediated precise E2Fs stability regulation plays a key role in cell proliferation via G/S cell cycle transition.

摘要

E2F 1、2和3a(以下简称E2Fs)是E2F转录因子家族的一个亚家族,在细胞周期进程、DNA复制、DNA修复、细胞凋亡和分化中发挥着重要作用。尽管E2Fs的转录调控主要集中在口袋蛋白视网膜母细胞瘤蛋白复合物上,但最近的研究表明,E2Fs的翻译后修饰和稳定性调控在多种细胞过程中起着关键作用。在本研究中,我们发现S期激酶相关蛋白1(SKP1)-cullin 1-F盒蛋白(SCF)复合物的一个组成部分FBXO1是E2Fs的结合伴侣。此外,FBXO1与E2Fs的结合诱导了E2Fs的K48泛素化及随后的蛋白酶体降解。结合结构域分析表明,分别位于E2F 1、3a和E2F2二聚化结构域中的Arg(R)/Ile(I)和R/Val(V)基序,作为FBXO1的降解基序(DMs)。值得注意的是,DMs中的RI/AA或RV/AA突变减少了FBXO1介导的泛素化,并延长了E2Fs的半衰期。重要的是,E2Fs的稳定性受到位于DMs的RI和RV残基附近的苏氨酸残基磷酸化的影响。磷酸化预测数据库分析和特异性抑制剂分析表明,MEK/ERK信号分子在FBXO1/E2Fs的相互作用中起关键作用,并调节E2F蛋白的周转。此外,通过敲低FBXO1提高E2Fs蛋白水平以及通过sh-E2F3a降低E2Fs蛋白水平,均延迟了G/S细胞周期转换,从而抑制癌细胞增殖。这些结果表明,FBXO1-E2Fs轴介导的精确E2Fs稳定性调控通过G/S细胞周期转换在细胞增殖中起关键作用。
