Abstract

The precise regulation of the homeostasis of the cellular proteome is critical for the appropriate growth and development of plants. It also allows the plants to respond to various environmental stresses, by modulating their biochemical and physiological aspects in a timely manner. Ubiquitination of cellular proteins is one of the major protein degradation routes for maintaining cellular protein homeostasis, and ubiquitin E3 ligases, components of ubiquitin ligase complexes, play an important role in the selective degradation of target proteins via substrate-specific interactions. Thus, understanding the role of E3 ligases and their substrate regulation uncovers their specific cellular and physiological functions. Here, we provide protocols for auto- and substrate-ubiquitination analyses that utilize the combination of in vitro purified E3 ubiquitin ligase proteins and immunoprecipitation.

Background

Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification in which ubiquitins, small regulatory proteins found in most eukaryotes, are covalently attached to cellular proteins, resulting in the proteolysis of the cellular proteins via the 26S proteasomes (Sharma et al., 2016; Cappadocia and Lima, 2018). Ubiquitination consists of sequential and cooperative actions of three enzymes that catalyze the attachment of ubiquitins to substrate proteins: E1 ubiquitin-activating enzymes, E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, and E3 ubiquitin-ligating enzymes. Among these enzymes, E3 ubiquitin-ligating enzymes (also called E3 ubiquitin ligases) provide substrate-specific recognition, which results in the modulation of the homeostasis of a specific cellular protein. The auto- and substrate-ubiquitination are key analyses to understand the function of E3 ubiquitin ligases, as well as their substrate recognition and regulation. Recently, we used auto- and substrate-ubiquitination assays to analyze the functional relationship of Seven-in-Absentia of Arabidopsis 2 (SINAT2), a RING-domain containing E3 ubiquitin ligase involved in stress response, and Arabidopsis ACC synthase 5 (ACS5), a rate-limiting enzyme in ethylene biosynthesis (Lee et al., 2021). Here, we describe protocols for auto-ubiquitination of SINAT2 and SINAT2-mediated ubiquitination of ACS5. Our protocols utilize in vitro purified E3 ubiquitin ligases and immunoprecipitated substrate proteins from a heterogeneously expressed system. Conventionally, substrate ubiquitination assays include purified recombinant substrate proteins and E3 ligases, yielding desired results. However, our protocol utilizes immunoprecipitated substrate proteins expressed from plants. This approach allows researchers to conduct ubiquitination assays for substrate proteins with common problems during recombinant protein expression in E. coli and other expression systems.
