Popis: Summary: Aberrant long interspersed element 1 (LINE-1 or L1) activity can cause insertional mutagenesis and chromosomal rearrangements and has been detected in several types of cancers. Here, we show that neddylation, a post-translational modification process, is essential for L1 transposition. The antineoplastic drug MLN4924 is an L1 inhibitor that suppresses NEDD8-activating enzyme activity. Neddylation inhibition by MLN4924 selectively impairs ORF2p-mediated L1 reverse transcription and blocks the generation of L1 cDNA. Consistent with these results, MLN4924 treatment suppresses the retrotransposition activity of the non-autonomous retrotransposons short interspersed nuclear element R/variable number of tandem repeat/Alu and Alu, which rely on the reverse transcription activity of L1 ORF2p. The E2 enzyme UBE2M in the neddylation pathway, rather than UBE2F, is required for L1 ORF2p and retrotransposition. Interference with the functions of certain neddylation-dependent Cullin-really interesting new gene E3 ligases disrupts L1 reverse transcription and transposition activity. Our findings provide insights into the regulation of L1 retrotransposition and the identification of therapeutic targets for L1 dysfunctions.
