Ubiquitin ligase Smurf1 promotes poly-ubiquitination of PDK1 / 军事医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the mechanism of 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1(PDK1)poly-ubiquitination.Methods Co-immunoprecipitation(Co-IP)and Western blot(WB)were used to analyze poly-ubiquitination of PDK1.It was confirmed that ubiquitin ligase smad ubiquitylation regulatory factor 1(Smurf1)inprove PDK1 poly-ubiquitination within MEF cells,site-directed mutagenesis and WB before PDK1 poly-ubiquitination sites were determined.Results We found that PDK1 could undergoes poly-ubiquitination,ubiquitin ligase Smurf1 was found to be a direct E3 ligase for PDK1 poly-ubiquitination and might rely on the ubiquitin ligase Smurf 1 K699 site activity.K304 was PDK1 poly-ubiquitination modification site point.Conclusion The ubiquitin ligase Smurf1 can promate poly-ubiquitination of PDK1.
