CRL4 DCAF1/VprBP E3 ubiquitin ligase controls ribosome biogenesis, cell proliferation, and development.
Science Advances 2020 December
Evolutionarily conserved DCAF1 is a major substrate receptor for the DDB1-CUL4-ROC1 E3 ubiquitin ligase (CRL4) and controls cell proliferation and development. The molecular basis for these functions is unclear. We show here that DCAF1 loss in multiple tissues and organs selectively eliminates proliferating cells and causes perinatal lethality, thymic atrophy, and bone marrow defect. Inducible DCAF1 loss eliminates proliferating, but not quiescent, T cells and MEFs. We identify the ribosome assembly factor PWP1 as a substrate of the CRL4DCAF1 ligase. DCAF1 loss results in PWP1 accumulation, impairing rRNA processing and ribosome biogenesis. Knockdown or overexpression of PWP1 can rescue defects or cause similar defects as DCAF1 loss, respectively, in ribosome biogenesis. DCAF1 loss increases free RPL11, resulting in L11-MDM2 association and p53 activation. Cumulatively, these results reveal a critical function for DCAF1 in ribosome biogenesis and define a molecular basis of DCAF1 function in cell proliferation and development.
