SUMO Modification of the Ets-related Transcription Factor ERM Inhibits Its Transcriptional Activity

A variety of transcription factors are post-translationally modified by SUMO, a 97-residue ubiquitin-like protein bound covalently to the targeted lysine. Here we describe SUMO modification of the Ets family member ERM at positions 89, 263, 293, and 350. To investigate how SUMO modification affects the function of ERM, Ets-responsive intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and E74 reporter plasmids were employed to demonstrate that SUMO modification causes inhibition of ERM-dependent transcription without affecting the subcellular localization, stability, or DNA-binding capacity of the protein. When the adenoviral protein Gam1 or the SUMO protease SENP1 was used to inhibit the SUMO modification pathway, ERM-dependent transcription was de-repressed. These results demonstrate that ERM is subject to SUMO modification and that this post-translational modification causes inhibition of transcription-enhancing activity.

Covalent modification of proteins with ubiquitin-like proteins creates new proteins with unique protein surfaces that can mediate a range of protein-protein interactions (reviewed in Ref. 1Seeler J.S. Dejean A. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2003; 4: 690-699Crossref PubMed Scopus (581) Google Scholar). Modification of proteins by the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) is increasingly recognized as an important regulatory mechanism that can affect the stability, subnuclear localization, and transcription-activating capacity of the protein (reviewed in Refs. 1Seeler J.S. Dejean A. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2003; 4: 690-699Crossref PubMed Scopus (581) Google Scholar and 2Girdwood D.W. Tatham M.H. Hay R.T. Semin. Cell Dev. Biol. 2004; 15: 201-210Crossref PubMed Scopus (152) Google Scholar). Several transcription factors are reported to undergo SUMO modification, including the androgen receptor (3Poukka H. Karvonen U.

Cell. Biol. 2003; 4: 690-699Crossref PubMed Scopus (581) Google Scholar). Three different types of enzyme constitute the SUMO pathway: ubiquitin-activating enzyme (E1), 1The abbreviations used are: E1, ubiquitin-activating enzyme; E2, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme; E3, ubiquitin-protein isopeptide ligase; EMSA, electrophoretic mobility shift assay; MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase; ICAM, intercellular adhesion molecule; KR12345, K89R,K263R,K293R,K350R,K468R; EA12345, E89A,E263A,E293A, E350A,E468A; CPB, CREB-binding protein; CREB, cAMP-response element-binding protein. ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme or carrier protein (E2), and ubiquitin-protein isopeptide ligase (E3). Although Ubc9 is the only E2 (conjugating enzyme) found in humans, multiple E3 ligases have recently been identified. SUMO modification is a reversible process, and several SUMO proteases have been identified in mammalian cells (reviewed in Ref. 1Seeler J.S. Dejean A. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2003; 4: 690-699Crossref PubMed Scopus (581) Google Scholar). In mammals, the ets genes encode a large family of transcription factors, characterized by their ETS DNA-binding domain. On the basis of conservation of this and other domains, these factors have been subclassified into 13 groups (for a review, see Ref. 11Sharrocks A.D. Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2001; 2: 827-837Crossref PubMed Scopus (827) Google Scholar). Some Ets transcription factors have been identified as targets of SUMO. For instance, Elk-1 is modified by SUMO, a modification that is reversed by signaling via the prototype extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) MAPK pathway, which induces a switch from the repressed to the transcriptionally active state (12Yang S.H. Jaffray E. Hay R.T. Sharrocks A.D. Mol. Cell. 2003; 12: 63-74Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (216) Google Scholar, 13Yang S.H. Jaffray E. Senthinathan B. Hay R.T. Sharrocks A.D. Cell Cycle. 2003; 2: 528-530Crossref PubMed Scopus (35) Google Scholar). SUMO modification of Elk-1 results in the recruitment of histone deacetylase activity to promoters; this indicates the existence of an important integration point for two protein-modifying pathways in the cell, the SUMO and deacetylation pathways, which combine to promote inhibition of transcription-enhancing activity (14Yang S.H. Sharrocks A.D. Mol. Cell. 2004; 13: 611-617Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (293) Google Scholar). SUMO has also been shown to enhance the recruitment of the Ets transcription factor Tel into repressive domains such as the PML bodies (15Chakrabarti S.R. Nucifora G. Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 1999; 264: 871-877Crossref PubMed Scopus (120) Google Scholar, 16Chakrabarti S.R. Sood R. Nandi S. Nucifora G. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S.

A. 2003; 100: 3257-3262Crossref PubMed Scopus (100) Google Scholar). The three PEA3 group members (PEA3/E1AF, ER81/ETV1, and ERM/ETV5) show high conservation of their ETS domain and of the two transcriptional activation domains (reviewed in Ref. 18de Launoit Y. Chotteau-Lelievre A. Beaudoin C. Coutte L. Netzer S. Brenner C. Huvent I. Baert J.L. Adv. Exp. Med. Biol. 2000; 480: 107-116Crossref PubMed Google Scholar). These factors are involved in a number of developmental processes. For example, they play a role in the organization of the germ layers showing high proliferation and migration rates (19Chotteau-Lelièvre A. Montesano R. Soriano J.V. Soulie P. Desbiens X. de Launoit Y. Dev. Biol. 2003; 259: 241-257Crossref PubMed Scopus (51) Google Scholar) and in the development of motor and sensory neurons (20Lin J.H. Saito T. Anderson D.J.

Henderson C.E. Jessell T.M. Arber S. Neuron. 2002; 35: 877-892Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (199) Google Scholar). These factors have also been found to be deregulated in cancer and are over-expressed in metastatic human breast cancer cells (22Baert J.L. Monte D. Musgrove E.A. Albagli O. Sutherland R.L. de Launoit Y. Int. J. Cancer. 1997; 70: 590-597Crossref PubMed Scopus (88) Google Scholar) and Neu-induced mouse mammary tumors (23Trimble M.S. Xin J.H. Guy C.T. Muller W.J.

Biol. 2001; 11: 1739-1748Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (112) Google Scholar). Post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation regulate the function of the PEA3 group members. In particular, components of the MAPK pathway have been found to increase the transactivation capacity of these factors. This suggests that these factors may contribute to the nuclear response to cell stimulation and also to Ras-induced transformation (25Janknecht R. Monte D. Baert J.L. de Launoit Y.
