Popis: Summary Similar to ubiquitin, SUMO forms chains, but the identity of SUMO-chain-modified factors and the purpose of this modification remain largely unknown. Here, we identify the budding yeast SUMO protease Ulp2, able to disassemble SUMO chains, as a DDK interactor enriched at replication origins that promotes DNA replication initiation. Replication-engaged DDK is SUMOylated on chromatin, becoming a degradation-prone substrate when Ulp2 no longer protects it against SUMO chain assembly. Specifically, SUMO chains channel DDK for SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase Slx5/Slx8-mediated and Cdc48 segregase-assisted proteasomal degradation. Importantly, the SUMOylation-defective ddk-KR mutant rescues inefficient replication onset and MCM activation in cells lacking Ulp2, suggesting that SUMO chains time DDK degradation. Using two unbiased proteomic approaches, we further identify subunits of the MCM helicase and other factors as SUMO-chain-modified degradation-prone substrates of Ulp2 and Slx5/Slx8. We thus propose SUMO-chain/Ulp2-protease-regulated proteasomal degradation as a mechanism that times the availability of functionally engaged SUMO-modified protein pools during replication and beyond.
Graphical Abstract
Highlights • Chromatin-bound DDK engaged in replication is SUMOylated at multiple sites • SUMO chains target DDK for STUbL-mediated Cdc48-assisted proteasomal degradation • SUMO protease Ulp2 protects DDK from degradation, allowing early steps of replication • Ulp2 curbs SUMO chain assembly, thus timing protein turnover in replication and beyond
Psakhye et al. uncover that SUMO chains specifically counteracted by the Ulp2 SUMO protease function like a countdown timer when they are assembled on substrates of the Slx5/Slx8 SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL), which channels them for proteasomal degradation, as demonstrated here for SUMOylated DDK engaged in DNA replication initiation.
