Mechanism Of Interaction

Ubiquitin fold modifier 1 (UFM1) is a member of the ubiquitin-like protein family. UFM1 undergoes a cascade of enzymatic reactions including activation by UBA5 (E1), transfer to UFC1 (E2) and selective conjugation to a number of target proteins via UFL1 (E3) enzymes. Despite the importance of ufmylation in a variety of cellular processes and its role in the pathogenicity of many human diseases, the molecular mechanisms of the ufmylation cascade remains unclear. In this study we focused on the biophysical and biochemical characterization of the interaction between UBA5 and UFC1. We explored the hypothesis that the unstructured C-terminal region of UBA5 serves as a regulatory region, controlling cellular localization of the elements of the ufmylation cascade and effective interaction between them. We found that the last 20 residues in UBA5 are pivotal for binding to UFC1 and can accelerate the transfer of UFM1 to UFC1. We solved the structure of a complex of UFC1 and a peptide spanning the last 20 residues of UBA5 by NMR spectroscopy. This structure in combination with additional NMR titration and isothermal titration calorimetry experiments revealed the mechanism of interaction and confirmed the importance of the C-terminal unstructured region in UBA5 for the ufmylation cascade.

His4 Gene

The his4-917 mutation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae results from the insertion of the Ty element Ty917 into the regulatory region of the HIS4 gene and renders the cell His-. The hist4-912 delta mutant, which carries a solo delta in the 5'-noncoding region of HIS4, is His+ at 37 degrees C but His- at 23 degrees C. Both these mutations interfere with HIS4 expression at the transcriptional level. The His- phenotype of both insertion mutations is suppressed by mutations at the SPT2 locus. The product of the wild-type SPT2 gene apparently represses HIS4 transcription in these mutant strains; this repression is relieved when the SPT2 gene is destroyed by mutation. The repression of transcription by SPT2 presumably results from an interaction between the SPT2+ gene product and Ty or delta sequences. In this paper, we report the cloning and DNA sequence analysis of the wild-type SPT2 gene and show that the gene is capable of encoding a protein of 333 amino acids in length. In addition, we show that a dominant mutation of the SPT2 gene results from the generation of an ochre codon which is presumed to lead to a shortened SPT2 gene product.
