Article Abstract
Quasi-racemic crystallography has been used to determine the X-ray structures of K27-linked ubiquitin (Ub) chains prepared through total chemical synthesis. Crystal structures of K27-linked di- and tri-ubiquitins reveal that the isopeptide linkages are confined in a unique buried conformation, which provides the molecular basis for the distinctive function of K27 linkage compared to the other seven Ub chains. K27-linked di- and triUb were found to adopt different structural conformations in the crystals, one being symmetric whereas the other triangular. Furthermore, bioactivity experiments showed that the ovarian tumor family de-ubiquitinase 2 significantly favors K27-linked triUb than K27-linked diUb. K27-linked triUb represents the so-far largest chemically synthesized protein (228 amino acids) that has been crystallized to afford a high-resolution X-ray structure.

The NS5A non-structural protein of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is a multifunctional protein involved in viral genomic replication, protein translation, assembly of infectious virus particles, and regulation of cellular signaling pathways. Previous report showed that NS5A inhibited nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling induced by poly(I:C); however, the mechanism involved has not been elucidated. Here, we reported that NS5A directly interacted with NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO), a regulatory subunit of the IκB kinase (IKK) complex, to inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a serious threat to the global swine industry. As a typical immunosuppressive virus, PRRSV has developed a variety of complex mechanisms to escape the host innate immunity. In this study, we uncovered a novel immune escape mechanism of PRRSV infection.

Ubiquitination plays a major role in immune regulation after viral infection. An alternatively spliced porcine E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF122 promoted PRRSV infection and upregulated in PRRSV-infected PAM cells was identified. We characterized the core promoter of RNF122, located between -550 to -470 bp upstream of the transcription start site (TSS), which displayed significant differential transcriptional activities in regulating the transcription and expression of RNF122.

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), a double-stranded RNA virus, causes immunosuppression and high mortality in 3-6-week-old chickens. Innate immune defense is a physical barrier to restrict viral replication. After viral infection, the host shows crucial defense responses, such as stimulation of antiviral effectors to restrict viral replication.

Functional analysis of lysine 27-linked ubiquitin chains (Ub) is difficult due to the inability to make them through enzymatic methods and due to a lack of model tools and substrates. Here we generate a series of ubiquitin (Ub) tools to study how the deubiquitinase UCHL3 responds to Ub chains in comparison to lysine 63-linked chains and mono-Ub. From a crystal structure of a complex between UCHL3 and synthetic Ub, we unexpectedly discover that free Ub and Ub-conjugated substrates are natural inhibitors of UCHL3.
