    Loading PCNA onto chromatin is a pivotal step in DNA replication, cell cycle progression, and genome integrity. Conversely, unloading PCNA from chromatin is equally crucial for maintaining genome stability. Cells deficient in the PCNA unloader ATAD5-RFC exhibit elevated levels of chromatin-bound PCNA during S phase, but still show dissociation of PCNA from chromatin in mitosis. In this study, we found that depletion of TRAIP, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, results in the retention of PCNA on chromatin during mitosis. Although TRAIP-depleted cells with chromatin-bound PCNA during mitosis progressed into the subsequent G1 phase, they displayed reduced levels of Cdt1, a key replication licensing factor, and impaired S phase entry. In addition, TRAIP-depleted cells exhibited delayed S phase progression. These results suggest that TRAIP functions independently of ATAD5-RFC in removing PCNA from chromatin. Furthermore, TRAIP appears to be essential for precise pre-replication complexes (pre-RCs) formation necessary for faithful initiation of DNA replication and S phase progression.

    The Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase CRL4Cdt2 maintains genome integrity by mediating the cell cycle- and DNA damage-dependent degradation of proteins such as Cdt1, p21 and Set8. Human Cdt2 has two regions, a conserved N-terminal seven WD40 repeat region and a less conserved C-terminal region. Here, we showed that the N-terminal region is sufficient for complex formation with CRL4, but the C-terminal region is required for the full ubiquitin ligase activity. UV irradiation-induced polyubiquitination and degradation of Cdt1 were impaired in Cdt2 (N-terminus only)-expressing cells. Deletion and mutation analysis identified a domain in the C-terminal region that increased ubiquitination activity and displayed DNA-binding activity. The identified domain mediated binding to double-stranded DNA and showed higher affinity binding to single-stranded DNA. As the ligase activity of CRL4Cdt2 depends on proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) loading onto DNA, the present results suggest that the DNA-binding domain facilitates the CRL4Cdt2-mediated recognition and ubiquitination of substrates bound to PCNA on chromatin.

    The CRL4Cdt2 ubiquitin ligase complex is an essential regulator of cell-cycle progression and genome stability, ubiquitinating substrates such as p21, Set8, and Cdt1, via a display of substrate degrons on proliferating cell nuclear antigens (PCNAs). Here, we examine the hierarchy of the ligase and substrate recruitment kinetics onto PCNA at sites of DNA replication. We demonstrate that the C-terminal end of Cdt2 bears a PCNA interaction protein motif (PIP box, Cdt2PIP), which is necessary and sufficient for the binding of Cdt2 to PCNA. Cdt2PIP binds PCNA directly with high affinity, two orders of magnitude tighter than the PIP box of Cdt1. X-ray crystallographic structures of PCNA bound to Cdt2PIP and Cdt1PIP show that the peptides occupy all three binding sites of the trimeric PCNA ring. Mutating Cdt2PIP weakens the interaction with PCNA, rendering CRL4Cdt2 less effective in Cdt1 ubiquitination and leading to defects in Cdt1 degradation. The molecular mechanism we present suggests a new paradigm for bringing substrates to the CRL4-type ligase, where the substrate receptor and substrates bind to a common multivalent docking platform to enable subsequent ubiquitination.

    CRL4Cdt2 ubiquitin ligase plays an important role maintaining genome integrity during the cell cycle. A recent report suggested that Cdk1 negatively regulates CRL4Cdt2 activity through phosphorylation of its receptor, Cdt2, but the involvement of phosphorylation remains unclear. To address this, we mutated all CDK consensus phosphorylation sites located in the C-terminal half region of Cdt2 (Cdt2-18A) and examined the effect on substrate degradation. We show that both cyclinA/Cdk2 and cyclinB/Cdk1 phosphorylated Cdt2 in vitro and that phosphorylation was reduced by the 18A mutation both in vitro and in vivo. The 18A mutation increased the affinity of Cdt2 to PCNA, and a high amount of Cdt2-18A was colocalized with PCNA foci during S phase in comparison with Cdt2-WT. Poly-ubiquitination activity to Cdt1 was concomitantly enhanced in cells expressing Cdt2-18A. Other CRL4Cdt2 substrates, Set8 and thymine DNA glycosylase, begin to accumulate around late S phase to G2 phase, but the accumulation was prevented in Cdt2-18A cells. Furthermore, mitotic degradation of Cdt1 after UV irradiation was induced in these cells. Our results suggest that CDK-mediated phosphorylation of Cdt2 inactivates its ubiquitin ligase activity by reducing its affinity to PCNA, an important strategy for regulating the levels of key proteins in the cell cycle.
