“…Targeted protein degradation represents an emerging therapeutic modality with the potential to tackle disease-causing proteins that have in the past been highly challenging to target with conventional small molecules.

Centrioles play important roles in the assembly of centrosomes and cilia. Centriole duplication occurs once per cell cycle and is dependent on polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4). To prevent centriole amplification, which is a hallmark of cancer, PLK4 protein levels need to be tightly regulated. Here, we show that the Cullin(CUL)4A/B-DDB1-DCAF1, CRL4DCAF1, E3 ligase targets PLK4 for degradation in human cells. DCAF1 binds and ubiquitylates PLK4 in G2 phase to prevent premature centriole duplication in mitosis. In contrast to the regulation of PLK4 by SCFβ-TrCP, the interaction between PLK4 and DCAF1 is independent of PLK4 kinase activity and mediated by polo-boxes 1 and 2 of PLK4, suggesting that DCAF1 promotes PLK4 ubiquitylation independently of β-TrCP. Thus, the SCFSlimb/β-TrCPpathway, targeting PLK4 for ubiquitylation based on its phosphorylation state and CRL4DCAF1, which ubiquitylates PLK4 by binding to the conserved PB1-PB2 domain, appear to be complementary ways to control PLK4 abundance to prevent centriole overduplication.

“…To validate the prediction models, we assessed the ability of the GAP domain of RASA1 to bind ubiquitin. Using a bacterial Split-Chloramphenicol Acetyl Transferase (Split-CAT) assay (Levin-Kravets et al, 2021 ), we detected the binding of wt-RASA1 GAP to ubiquitin, whereas E1015A/ R1016A mutations impaired ubiquitin binding (Fig. 3B ).…”

“…The assays were performed as previously described in (Levin-Kravets et al, 2021 ). E. coli Mach1 was co-transformed with pC-CAT-Ubiquitin and pN-CAT-RASA1 GAP or pN-CAT-NF1 GRD vectors and selected on agar plates supplemented with 30 μg/ml kanamycin and 25 μg/ml streptomycin respectively.…”

The RAS pathway is among the most frequently activated signaling nodes in cancer. However, the mechanisms that alter RAS activity in human pathologies are not entirely understood. The most prevalent post-translational modification within the GTPase core domain of NRAS and KRAS is ubiquitination at lysine 128 (K128), which is significantly decreased in cancer samples compared to normal tissue. Here, we found that K128 ubiquitination creates an additional binding interface for RAS GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), NF1 and RASA1, thus increasing RAS binding to GAP proteins and promoting GAP-mediated GTP hydrolysis. Stimulation of cultured cancer cells with growth factors or cytokines transiently induces K128 ubiquitination and restricts the extent of wild-type RAS activation in a GAP-dependent manner. In KRAS mutant cells, K128 ubiquitination limits tumor growth by restricting RAL/ TBK1 signaling and negatively regulating the autocrine circuit induced by mutant KRAS. Reduction of K128 ubiquitination activates both wild-type and mutant RAS signaling and elicits a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, promoting RAS-driven pancreatic tumorigenesis.
