简介

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates the polyubiquitination of lysine and cysteine residues on target proteins, such as CD3D, CYP3A4, CFTR, INSIG1, SOAT2/ACAT2 and APOB for proteasomal degradation (PubMed:10456327, PubMed:11724934, PubMed:12670940, PubMed:19103148, PubMed:24424410, PubMed:28604676). Component of a VCP/p97-AMFR/gp78 complex that participates in the final step of endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) (PubMed:10456327, PubMed:11724934, PubMed:19103148, PubMed:24424410). The VCP/p97-AMFR/gp78 complex is involved in the sterol-accelerated ERAD degradation of HMGCR through binding to the HMGCR-INSIG1 complex at the ER membrane (PubMed:16168377, PubMed:22143767). In addition, interaction of AMFR with AUP1 facilitates interaction of AMFR with ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBE2G2 and ubiquitin ligase RNF139, leading to sterol-induced HMGCR ubiquitination (PubMed:23223569). The ubiquitinated HMGCR is then released from the ER into the cytosol for subsequent destruction (PubMed:16168377, PubMed:22143767, PubMed:23223569). In addition to ubiquitination on lysine residues, catalyzes ubiquitination on cysteine residues: together with INSIG1, mediates polyubiquitination of SOAT2/ACAT2 at 'Cys-277', leading to its degradation when the lipid levels are low (PubMed:28604676). Catalyzes ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of INSIG1 when cells are depleted of sterols (PubMed:17043353). Mediates polyubiquitination of INSIG2 at 'Cys-215' in some tissues, leading to its degradation (PubMed:31953408). Also regulates ERAD through the ubiquitination of UBL4A a component of the BAG6/BAT3 complex (PubMed:21636303). Also acts as a scaffold protein to assemble a complex that couples ubiquitination, retranslocation and deglycosylation (PubMed:21636303). Mediates tumor invasion and metastasis as a receptor for the GPI/autocrine motility factor (PubMed:10456327). In association with LMBR1L and UBAC2, negatively regulates the canonical Wnt signaling pathway in the lymphocytes by promoting the ubiquitin-mediated degradation of CTNNB1 and Wnt receptors FZD6 and LRP6 (PubMed:31073040). Regulates NF-kappa-B and MAPK signaling pathways by mediating 'Lys-27'-linked polyubiquitination of TAB3 and promoting subsequent TAK1/MAP3K7 activation (PubMed:36593296).

Cigarette smoking substantially promotes tumorigenesis and progression of colorectal cancer; however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Among 662 colorectal cancer patients, our investigation revealed a significant correlation between cigarette smoking and factors, such as large tumor size, poor differentiation, and high degree of invasion. Among the nicotine-derived nitrosamines, 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) emerged as the most critical carcinogen, which significantly promoted the malignant progression of colorectal cancer both in vivo and in vitro. The results of methylated RNA immunoprecipitation and transcriptome sequencing indicated that NNK upregulated transmembrane and ubiquitin-like domain-containing protein 1 (TMUB1) via N6-adenosine methylation, which was regulated by methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) and YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 2 (YTHDF2). Elevated TMUB1 levels were associated with a higher risk of cancer invasion and metastasis, leading to a high mortality risk in patients with colorectal cancer. Additionally, TMUB1 promoted lysine63-linked ubiquitination of AKT by interacting with AMFR, which led to the induction of malignant proliferation and metastasis in colorectal cancer cells exposed to NNK. In summary, this study provides a new insight, indicating that targeting TMUB1 expression via METTL14/YTHDF2 mediated N6-adenosine methylation may be a potential therapeutic and prognostic target for patients with colorectal cancer who smoke.

Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a neurotropic alphaherpesvirus exclusively infecting humans, causing two distinct pathologies: varicella (chickenpox) upon primary infection and herpes zoster (shingles) following reactivation. In susceptible individuals, VZV can give rise to more severe clinical manifestations, including disseminated infection, pneumonitis, encephalitis, and vasculopathy with stroke. Here, we describe a 3-year-old boy in whom varicella followed a complicated course with thrombocytopenia, hemorrhagic and necrotic lesions, pneumonitis, and intermittent encephalopathy. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) was strongly suspected and as the condition deteriorated, HLH therapy was initiated. Although the clinical condition improved, longstanding hemophagocytosis followed despite therapy. We found that the patient carries a rare monoallelic variant in autocrine motility factor receptor (AMFR), encoding a ubiquitin ligase involved in innate cytosolic DNA sensing and interferon (IFN) production through the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of IFN genes (cGAS-STING) pathway. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from the patient exhibited impaired signaling downstream of STING in response dsDNA and 2'3'-cGAMP, agonists of cGAS and STING, respectively, and fibroblasts from the patient showed impaired type I IFN responses and significantly increased VZV replication. Overexpression of the variant AMFR R594C resulted in decreased K27-linked STING ubiquitination compared to WT AMFR. Moreover, ImageStream technology revealed reduced STING trafficking from ER to Golgi in cells expressing the patient AMFR R594C variant. This was supported by a dose-dependent dominant negative effect of expression of the patient AMFR variant as measured by IFN-β reporter gene assay. Finally, lentiviral transduction with WT AMFR partially reconstituted 2'3'-cGAMP-induced STING-mediated signaling and ISG expression in patient PBMCs. This work links defective AMFR-STING signaling to severe VZV disease and hyperinflammation and suggests a direct role for cGAS-STING in the control of viral infections in humans. In conclusion, we describe a novel genetic etiology of severe VZV disease in childhood, also representing the first inborn error of immunity related to a defect in the cGAS-STING pathway.

Standigm ASK™ revolutionizes healthcare by addressing the critical challenge of identifying pivotal target genes in disease mechanisms-a fundamental aspect of drug development success. Standigm ASK™ integrates a unique combination of a heterogeneous knowledge graph (KG) database and an attention-based neural network model, providing interpretable subgraph evidence. Empowering users through an interactive interface, Standigm ASK™ facilitates the exploration of predicted results. Applying Standigm ASK™ to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a complex lung disease, we focused on genes (AMFR, MDFIC and NR5A2) identified through KG evidence. In vitro experiments demonstrated their relevance, as TGFβ treatment induced gene expression changes associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition characteristics. Gene knockdown reversed these changes, identifying AMFR, MDFIC and NR5A2 as potential therapeutic targets for IPF. In summary, Standigm ASK™ emerges as an innovative KG and artificial intelligence platform driving insights in drug target discovery, exemplified by the identification and validation of therapeutic targets for IPF.

天然免疫核心STING的作用基础

cGAS–STING通路是一种进化上保守的免疫信号通路，对微生物防御至关重要（STING：天然免疫新核心，免疫治疗新靶点）。与其他主要依赖于固定信号事件的先天免疫途径不同，STING在细胞中具有高度的流动性，流动性异常与神经退行性疾病等相关。STINGSTING是一种跨膜蛋白，以二聚体的形式存在于内质网上，其CDN结合结构域面对细胞质。在配体结合之前，每个STING单体的连接区域被交叉，配体结合结构域位于各自的跨膜结构域的另一侧。cGAMP的结合诱导了连接体区域的结构重排，其中配体结合结构域被旋转到与跨膜结构域平行。这种旋转被认为是STING激活和内质网通过COPII囊泡离开的关键。然后STING易位到内质网中间室（ERGIC）和高尔基体，在那里它招募激酶TBK1，它磷酸化STING本身和转录因子IRF3。磷酸化的IRF3易位到细胞核，启动IFN-I基因和ISGs的转录。此外，在这一过程中，STING激活了其他IFN非依赖的信号通路，分子细节未知。STING囊泡然后退出反式高尔基网络（TGN），继续前往核内体和溶酶体，在那里，STING囊泡最终被降解以终止信号传导。STING转运三步1. STING在内质网上STING不包含将其引导到内质网的信号序列，但为什么STING定位于内质网，并保持在内质网?帮助内质网保持STING的过程包括Ca2+传感器基质相互作用分子1（STIM1）和逆行COPII囊泡运输。STIM1通过钙通道控制Ca2+进入内质网，这在淋巴细胞的激活和增殖中至关重要。STIM1也通过直接绑定STING的ER保留因子。使用2,3-cGAMP的刺激会破坏这种相互作用，从而允许STING内质网退出。STIM1的缺失从内质网释放出STING，导致tonic IFN-I信号。所以STIM1缺陷的患者同时出现淋巴细胞减少（由于淋巴细胞中的钙通量缺陷）和自身免疫病。高尔基体-内质网逆行穿梭也起着重要作用。STING不是简单地固定在静息状态下的内质网上；相反，它通过分泌途径不断移动。内质网保留因素和逆行穿梭的结合可能建立了STING内质网定位的“表象”。此外，还有其他的辅助因子负责调节内质网上的STING蛋白水平，包括toll相互作用蛋白（TOLLIP）、E3泛素连接酶三部分基序蛋白30α（TRIM30α）和PTPN1/ 2，它们分别调节稳态下STING的溶酶体和蛋白酶体降解。2. 从内质网转移至高尔基体配体结合后，STING开始从内质网易位到高尔基体，这个过程需要COPII囊泡的组装。Sar1、Sec13、和Sec31的丢失阻止了STING配体结合时离开内质网，并减弱了STING信号。除了经典的COPII囊泡装置外，内质网上的其他一些蛋白质和复合物对STING从内质网到高尔基体的运输也很重要。在没有转位子复合物成分TRAPβ的情况下，配体诱导的STING运输被阻止。内质网蛋白iRhom2促进TRAPβ和STING的相互作用。与TRAPβ缺陷类似，iRhom2的丢失也会阻止STING从ER离开。由于TRAPβ和iRhom2不影响COPII装置的蛋白质运输，它们可能调节内质网的横向移动，以到达ER出口位点。一旦STING到达高尔基体，就会引发一系列的生化事件：(1)通过CTT招募TBK1；(2) TBK1磷酸化STING（丝氨酸366）和自身；(3)STING使IRF3聚合并招募到ILxIS基序，TBK1磷酸化IRF3；(4) p-IRF3二聚并易位到细胞核以开启免疫基因表达。除了磷酸化，其他翻译后修饰对高尔基体上的刺信号至关重要。例如，STING在半胱氨酸88和91处被顺式高尔基体定位的酰基转移酶DHC3/7/15棕榈酰化。用硝基呋喃衍生物C-178、C-179和H-151阻断刺棕榈酰化，可以防止STING寡聚和信号体组装。多种蛋白（AMFR、INSIG1、ZDHHC1、RNF26、TRIM32和TRIM56）对STING的泛素化对高尔基体的信号转导也很重要。此外，一些蛋白质辅助因子直接或间接地促进高尔基体上刺信号体的形成。S6K和SREBP裂解激活蛋白（SCAP）促进IRF3招募到STING-TBK1。而核心自噬蛋白ATG9a在膜扩张中负调控STING-TBK1复合物的形式和下游IFN信号传导，蛋白磷酸酶Mg2+/Mn2+依赖的1a和蛋白磷酸酶6催化亚基通过去磷酸化抑制信号传导。IFN-高尔基体易位也是抑制独立活性所必需的。例如，STING介导的NF-κB信号通路需要TBK1与高尔基体上的刺c端结合，但不需要STING磷酸化。STING介导的自噬需要STING从内质网转移到ER-GIC，这是自噬膜的一个已知来源。STING介导的UPR和细胞死亡需要STING从内质网退出。有趣的是，STING介导的UPR和自噬活性都被定位到相同的基序上（一个包含氨基酸322-343的α-螺旋），这表明这两种活性可能依赖于一个尚未确定的共同过程。STING内质网单独退出（在到达ERGIC或高尔基体之前）是否诱导任何细胞信号也不清楚。3. 后高尔基体穿梭和溶酶体降解虽然有许多已知的STING辅助因子在内质网到高尔基体阶段起作用，但已知的高尔基体后STING转运的辅助因子要少得多。后高尔基体的STING运输减弱了IFN信号。因此，这些辅助因子的功能缺失将延长STING信号。一旦STING在高尔基体上被磷酸化，STING降解的过程就开始了。适配器蛋白复合物1（AP-1）结合一个双亮氨酸基序以及在STING CTT结构域磷酸化的S366残基。然后，AP-1将磷酸化的STING分类到clathrin蛋白包被的囊泡中，运输到内溶酶体。AP-1的抑制增强了STING信号。STING高尔基体出口也需要反式高尔基GRIP和包含蛋白2的螺旋-螺旋结构域2（GCC2/ GCC185）。GCC2属于TGN上的Golgin蛋白家族，通过APs将囊泡转移到RAB GTPases。TGN是一个主要的分拣枢纽，在这里各类物质被分类到各种运输工具，以贩运到细胞的不同区室)。一旦STING到达核内体，它再次被UBE2N泛素化。HGS、VPS37A、UBAP1、Tsg101和Vps4是STING辅助因子。C9ORF72和UNC93B1也能促进STING溶酶体降解，尽管分子细节仍有待确定。STING还驱动非经典的自噬，这可能有助于其自身被自噬小体降解。目前还不清楚STING囊泡是与溶酶体融合还是被溶酶体吞噬，以及膜拓扑结构在每种情况下是如何工作的。参考资料Chu, T.-T., X.

Nature子刊：钱峰团队揭示耐甲氧金黄色葡萄球菌引发肺炎的新机制

本项研究阐明了MRSA作为胞内菌诱导炎症反应的分子机制，揭示了MRSA通过毒力因子HlgB诱导AMFR与TAB3相互作用，调节NF-kB信号通路，进而调控MRSA诱导的炎症反应这一新机制耐甲氧西林金葡菌（MRSA）是医院及社区感染的主要病原菌，具有较强的致病力和广谱的耐药性，导致临床感染病死率高，治疗困难。因此，阐明MRSA的致病机理和诱导炎症反应的分子机制具有重要科学意义。在机体的免疫防御中，MRSA被巨噬细胞吞噬后，能逃逸细胞溶酶体的降解，并在宿主细胞中存活下来，通过与细胞内信号分子相互作用，诱发严重炎症反应。但这一调控机制尚不清楚。近日，上海交通大学药学院钱峰教授课题组在 Nature Microbiology 期刊发表了题为：Staphylococcal virulence factor HlgB targets the endoplasmic-reticulum-resident E3 ubiquitin ligase AMFR to promote pneumonia 的研究论文。该研究发现，耐甲氧西林金葡菌（MRSA）通过其毒力因子HlgB与胞内内质网相关E3泛素连接酶AMFR相互作用，促进巨噬细胞产生炎症细胞因子，介导胞内菌MRSA诱导的炎症反应。在这项研究中，研究团队首先发现胞内存活的MRSA主要富集于内质网上。通过内质网相关CRISPR-Cas9 gRNA文库筛选，发现内质网相关E3泛素连接酶AMFR参与胞内MRSA菌诱导的炎症反应，髓系细胞特异性AMFR敲除小鼠MRSA感染诱导的炎症反应显著降低。分子机制研究发现，MRSA通过其毒力因子HlgB诱导AMFR与胞内信号分子TAB3相互作用，通过TAB3上第649位赖氨酸，引起TAB3的K27位的泛素化修饰，激活下游信号分子TAK1和NF-kB信号通路。本项研究阐明了MRSA作为胞内菌诱导炎症反应的分子机制，揭示了MRSA通过毒力因子HlgB诱导AMFR与TAB3相互作用，调节NF-kB信号通路，进而调控MRSA诱导的炎症反应这一新机制，并使HlgB，AMFR成为治疗MRSA感染性肺炎的新型药物作用靶标。
