Proteomics and Functional Investigation of SUMO and Ubiquitin E3 ligases
In this thesis, we have developed an advanced Mass-Spectrometry...Show moreCells constitute the tissues of our body and are responsible for producing various changes in response to different situations. For instance, the repair of damaged DNA. DNA resides within the cell nucleus and can be transcribed and translated into proteins, which play vital roles in numerous cellular processes. The cell relies on modifying existing proteins to carry out essential functions. These modifications can involve the conjugation of small molecules such as Ubiquitin (Ub) or Small Ubiquitin-like Modifiers (SUMOs), leading to protein degradation, conformational changes or intracellular relocation of critical proteins. The conjugation of these small molecules involves a well-orchestrated sequence of enzymatic activities performed by dedicated enzymes: E1 (activating), E2 (conjugating) and E3 (ligase). Among these, the E3 ligase enzymes hold significant importance as they confer substrate specificity.
In this thesis, we have developed an advanced Mass-Spectrometry technology called TULIP2 (Targets for Ubiquitin Ligases Identified by Proteomics 2), which facilitates the identification of Ubiquitination targets for specific E3 ligases of interest. Using this technology, we have investigated the BRCA1-BARD1 E3 ligase and explore the in vivo role of the E2 UBE2D3. Furthermore, we have adapted the TULIP2 technology to create the SUMO Activated Target Traps (SATTs), enabling the identification of an E3-specific SUMO proteome.Show less
