Distinct nuclear and cytoplasmic assemblies and interactomes of the mammalian CTLH E3 ligase complex
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The C-terminal to LisH (CTLH) complex is a newly discovered multi-subunit E3 ubiquitin ligase and its cellular functions are poorly characterized. Although some CTLH subunits have been found to localize in both the nucleus and cytoplasm of mammalian cells, differences between the compartment-specific complexes have not been explored. Here, we show that the CTLH complex forms different molecular mass complexes in nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions. Loss of WDR26 severely decreased nuclear CTLH complex subunit levels and impaired higher-order CTLH complex formation, revealing WDR26 as a critical determinant of the nuclear stability of the CTLH complex. Through affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry of endogenous RanBPM (also called RANBP9), a CTLH complex member, from nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions, we identified over 170 compartment-specific interactors involved in various conserved biological processes, such as ribonucleoprotein biogenesis and chromatin assembly. We validated the nuclear-specific RanBPM interaction with macroH2A1 and the cytoplasm-specific interaction with tankyrase-1/2 (encoded by TNKS and TNKS2). Overall, this study provides critical insights into CTLH complex function and composition in both the cytoplasm and nucleus.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
