Abstract
Nedd8 is a small ubiquitin-like protein (9 kDa) covalently attached to a conserved lysine residue of a cullin protein which is part of cullin-RING ligases (CRLs). CRLs are major E3 ligases important for protein ubiquitination in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPP). The activity of CRLs is regulated by cycles of neddylation (CulA-N8, ~98 kDa) and deneddylation (CulA ~89 kDa). The COP9 signalosome (CSN) and Deneddylase A (DenA) are capable of cleaving the isopeptide bond between Nedd8 and CullinA. In contrast to the single protein DenA, CSN is an eight subunit multiprotein complex. Protein crude extracts of different Aspergillus nidulans csn deletion strains were mixed with recombinant CSN subunits expressed and purified from Escherichia coli (E. coli). Western hybridization experiments using anti-CulA or anti-Nedd8 antibodies could show the ratio of neddylated vs. deneddylated CulA. Using the deneddylation assay, we could show that CsnE is the last subunit joining a 7-subunit pre-assembled CSN in vitro and only then CSN can perform cullin deneddylation by the metalloprotease subunit CsnE. This assay is a fast and non-expensive method, which visualizes enzyme activity for deneddylating proteins. It might be also useful for testing the activity of other isopeptidases removing post-translational modifications from substrates in Aspergillus nidulans (A. nidulans) or other organisms.
