PubMed Abstract: Beyond the canonical K48-linked homotypic polyubiquitination for proteasome-targeted proteolysis, K11/K48-branched ubiquitin (Ub) chains are involved in fast-tracking protein turnover during cell cycle progression and proteotoxic stress. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of human 26S proteasome in a complex with a K11/K48-branched Ub chain. The structures revealed a multivalent substrate recognition mechanism involving a hitherto unknown K11-linked Ub binding site at the groove formed by RPN2 and RPN10 in addition to the canonical K48-linkage binding site formed by RPN10 and RPT4/5 coiled-coil. Additionally, RPN2 recognizes an alternating K11-K48-linkage through a conserved motif similar to the K48-specific T1 binding site of RPN1. The insights gleaned from these structures explain the molecular mechanism underlying the recognition of the K11/K48-branched Ub as a priority signal in the ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation.
