Abstract
Background: UBE2Q1-dependent ubiquitination of key proteins including β 1,4- galactosyltransferase (GalT1), and P53 might play a pivotal role in cancer development.
Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the molecular analysis of possible interactions between UBE2Q1 with B4GALT1 and P53 proteins.
Methods: We established SW1116 colorectal cancer cell line stably transfected with UBE2Q1. To verify the overexpression of UBE2Q1, we performed western blot and fluorescent microscopy analysis. Using the immunoprecipitation (IP) product of the over-expressed protein on the silver staining gel, we observed the potential interacting partners of UBE2Q1. The Molecular Operating Environment (MOE) software was also used to perform the molecular docking of the UBC domain of UBE2Q1 (2QGX) with B4GALT1 (2AGD), and P53 (tetramerization (1AIE) and DNA binding domains (1GZH)) proteins.
Results: Western blot and IP analysis detected a UBE2Q1-GFP band in transfected cells, while no band was detected for mock-transfected cells. Moreover, the overexpression of UBE2Q1 tagged with GFP was observed under fluorescent microscopy as well with about 60-70% shining. Silver staining of IP gel revealed several bands in colorectal cancer (CRC) with UBE2Q1 overexpression. Protein- Protein interaction (PPI) analysis also depicted a high affinity of the UBC domain of UBE2Q1 to the B4GALT1 and P53 (tetramerization and DNA binding domains). Molecular docking also revealed hot-spot regions for all poses.
Conclusion: Our data suggest that UBE2Q1 as an E2 enzyme of ubiquitination system can interact with B4GALT1 and P53, and may contribute to the accumulation of misfolded important proteins and colorectal tumor development.
期刊介绍：
Protein & Peptide Letters publishes letters, original research papers, mini-reviews and guest edited issues in all important aspects of protein and peptide research, including structural studies, advances in recombinant expression, function, synthesis, enzymology, immunology, molecular modeling, and drug design. Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallization and preliminary structure determination of biologically important proteins are considered only if they include significant new approaches or deal with proteins of immediate importance, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins. Purely theoretical/review papers should provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function. Manuscripts describing computational work should include some experimental data to provide confirmation of the results of calculations.
Protein & Peptide Letters focuses on:
Structure Studies
Advances in Recombinant Expression
Drug Design
Chemical Synthesis
Function
Pharmacology
Enzymology
Conformational Analysis
Immunology
Biotechnology
Protein Engineering
Protein Folding
Sequencing
Molecular Recognition
Purification and Analysis
