Abstract:
:Ubiquitination typically occurs through the sequential action of three enzymes catalyzing ubiquitin activation (E1), conjugation (E2), and ligation (E3) and regulates diverse eukaryotic cellular processes. Although monoubiquitination commonly confers nondegradative activities, mechanisms underlying its temporal and spatial regulation and functional plasticity still remain largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that SETDB1, a major histone H3K9 methyltransferase is monoubiquitinated at the evolutionarily conserved lysine-867 in its SET-Insertion domain. This ubiquitination is directly catalyzed by UBE2E family of E2 enzymes in an E3-independent manner while the conjugated-ubiquitin (Ub) is protected from active deubiquitination. The resulting constitutive lysine-867 monoubiquitination is essential for SETDB1's enzymatic activity and endogenous retrovirus silencing in murine embryonic stem cells. Furthermore, the canonical hydrophobic patch on the conjugated-Ub is critical for Ub protection and function. Together, our findings highlight an E3-independent mechanism for monoubiquitination and reveal mechanistic details of SETDB1's enzymatic activity and the functional significance of its SET-Insertion.
