Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2025 Title: USP1/UAF1 targets polyubiquitinated PCNA with an exo-cleavage mechanism that can temporarily enrich for monoubiquitinated PCNA. Authors: Niels Keijzer / Jan Sakoltchik / Kaustav Majumder / Nina van Lil / Farid El Oualid / Alexander Fish / Titia K Sixma / Abstract: DNA damage tolerance (DDT) is an important pathway that allows cells to bypass DNA lesions during replication. DDT is orchestrated by ubiquitination of PCNA, where monoubiquitinated PCNA (PCNA-Ub) ...DNA damage tolerance (DDT) is an important pathway that allows cells to bypass DNA lesions during replication. DDT is orchestrated by ubiquitination of PCNA, where monoubiquitinated PCNA (PCNA-Ub) initiates recruitment of TLS polymerases but also serves as a substrate for further ubiquitination, forming K63-polyubiquitinated PCNA that leads to HR-mediated bypass mechanisms. Recent work on USP1/UAF1 inhibition revealed that formation of K48-linked chains also occurs on PCNA, resulting in its proteasomal degradation. USP1/UAF1 is established as deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) for PCNA-Ub, but little is known about removal of ubiquitin chains on PCNA. Here we show that USP1/UAF1 cleaves both K48 and K63-linked ubiquitin chains on PCNA efficiently, using an exo-cleavage mechanism. Kinetic analysis reveals that USP1/UAF1 prefers cleaving the ubiquitin-ubiquitin bond over cleavage of the ubiquitin-PCNA bond and therefore treats poly- and monoubiquitinated PCNA as different substrates. A cryo-EM structure of USP1/UAF1 with a K63-diubiquitin and structure-based mutagenesis suggests that this mechanistic preference is maintained in evolution. This unusual mechanism can cause temporal enrichment of monoubiquitinated PCNA during polyubiquitination. It will be interesting to see how this affects DDT pathway balance.

In the structure databanks used in Yorodumi, some data are registered as the other names, "COVID-19 virus" and "2019-nCoV". Here are the details of the virus and the list of structure data.

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)
The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.

Yorodumi is a browser for structure data from EMDB, PDB, SASBDB, etc.
This page is also the successor to EM Navigator detail page, and also detail information page/front-end page for Omokage search.
The word "yorodu" (or yorozu) is an old Japanese word meaning "ten thousand". "mi" (miru) is to see.
