Crystal structure of the Skp1-Skp2-Cks1 complex
OverviewOverview
The ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of the Cdk2 inhibitor p27(Kip1) plays a, central role in cell cycle progression, and enhanced degradation of, p27(Kip1) is associated with many common cancers. Proteolysis of p27(Kip1), is triggered by Thr187 phosphorylation, which leads to the binding of the, SCF(Skp2) (Skp1-Cul1-Rbx1-Skp2) ubiquitin ligase complex. Unlike other, known SCF substrates, p27(Kip1) ubiquitination also requires the accessory, protein Cks1. The crystal structure of the Skp1-Skp2-Cks1 complex bound to, a p27(Kip1) phosphopeptide shows that Cks1 binds to the leucine-rich, repeat (LRR) domain and C-terminal tail of Skp2, whereas p27(Kip1) binds, to both Cks1 and Skp2. The phosphorylated Thr187 side chain of p27(Kip1), is recognized by a Cks1 phosphate binding site, whereas the side chain of, an invariant Glu185 inserts into the interface between Skp2 and Cks1, interacting with both. The structure and biochemical data support the, proposed model that Cdk2-cyclin A contributes to the recruitment of, p27(Kip1) to the SCF(Skp2)-Cks1 complex.
