ABSTRACT The stability of the tumor suppressor protein p53 is regulated via the ubiquitin-proteasome-dependent proteolytic pathway. Like most substrates of this pathway, p53 is modified by the attachment of polyubiquitin chains prior to proteasome-mediated degradation. However, the mechanism(s) involved in the delivery of polyubiquitylated p53 molecules to the proteasome are currently unclear. Here, we show that the human DNA repair protein hHR23 binds to polyubiquitylated p53 via its carboxyl-terminal ubiquitin-associated (Uba) domain shielding p53 from deubiquitylation in vitro and in vivo. In addition, downregulation of hHR23 expression within cells by RNA interference results in accumulation of p53. Since the Ubl domain of hHR23 has been shown to interact with the 26S proteasome, we propose that hHR23 is intrinsically involved in the delivery of polyubiquitylated p53 molecules to the proteasome. In this model, the Uba domain of hHR23 binds to polyubiquitin chains formed on p53 and protects them from deubiquitylation, while the Ubl domain delivers the polyubiquitylated p53 molecules to the proteasome.

AbstractReactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation or NETosis. Nevertheless, how ROS induces NETosis is unknown. Neutrophil activation induces excess ROS production and a meaningless genome-wide transcription to facilitate chromatin decondensation. Here we show that the induction of NADPH oxidase-dependent NETosis leads to extensive DNA damage, and the subsequent translocation of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a key DNA repair protein, stored in the cytoplasm into the nucleus. During the activation of NETosis (e.g., by phorbol myristate acetate, Escherichia coli LPS, Staphylococcus aureus (RN4220), or Pseudomonas aeruginosa), preventing the DNA-repair-complex assembly leading to nick formation that decondenses chromatin causes the suppression of NETosis (e.g., by inhibitors to, or knockdown of, Apurinic endonuclease APE1, poly ADP ribose polymerase PARP, and DNA ligase). The remaining repair steps involving polymerase activity and PCNA interactions with DNA polymerases β/δ do not suppress agonist-induced NETosis. Therefore, excess ROS produced during neutrophil activation induces NETosis by inducing extensive DNA damage (e.g., oxidising guanine to 8-oxoguanine), and the subsequent DNA repair pathway, leading to chromatin decondensation.
