Ubiquitylation of nucleic acids by DELTEX ubiquitin E3 ligase DTX3L

Résumé

The recent discovery of non-proteinaceous ubiquitylation substrates broadened our understanding of this modification beyond conventional protein targets. However, the existence of additional types of substrates remains elusive. Here, we present evidence that nucleic acids can also be directly ubiquitylated via ester bond formation. DTX3L, a member of the DELTEX family E3 ubiquitin ligases, ubiquitylates DNA and RNA in vitro and that this activity is shared with DTX3, but not with the other DELTEX family members DTX1, DTX2 and DTX4. DTX3L shows preference for the 3′-terminal adenosine over other nucleotides. In addition, we demonstrate that ubiquitylation of nucleic acids is reversible by DUBs such as USP2, JOSD1 and SARS-CoV-2 PLpro. Overall, our study proposes reversible ubiquitylation of nucleic acids in vitro and discusses its potential functional implications.
