Abstract
Transcripts of the KRAS locus are alternatively spliced to generate two proteins, KRAS4A and KRAS4B, which differ in their membrane-targeting sequences. These splice variants have been conserved for more than 450 million years, suggesting non-overlapping functions driven by differential membrane association. Here, we use proximity labeling to map the differential interactomes of the KRAS splice variants. We find 24 and 10 proteins that interact specifically with KRAS4A or KRAS4B, respectively. The KRAS interacting protein most specific to KRAS4A is BIRC6, a large member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family unique in possessing E2/E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. We find that this interaction takes place on the Golgi apparatus and results in the mono- and di-ubiquitination of KRAS4A at lysines 128 and 147. Silencing BIRC6 diminishes GTP loading of and growth stimulation by KRAS4A but not KRAS4B. Thus, BIRC6 is a ubiquitin ligase that inhibits apoptosis and also modifies KRAS4A.
期刊介绍:
Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences and focuses on new biological insight as its primary criterion for publication. The journal offers three primary article types: Reports, which are shorter single-point articles, research articles, which are longer and provide deeper mechanistic insights, and resources, which highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that contribute to biological advances. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also accepted.
The Cell Reports Portfolio includes gold open-access journals that cover life, medical, and physical sciences, and its mission is to make cutting-edge research and methodologies available to a wide readership.
The journal's professional in-house editors work closely with authors, reviewers, and the scientific advisory board, which consists of current and future leaders in their respective fields. The advisory board guides the scope, content, and quality of the journal, but editorial decisions are independently made by the in-house scientific editors of Cell Reports.
