Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like chains are finely balanced by conjugating and de-conjugating enzymes. Alterations in this balance trigger the response to stress conditions and are often observed in pathologies. How such changes are detected is not well understood. We identify the HSP70 chaperone as a sensor of changes in the balance between mono- and poly-NEDDylation. Upon DNA damage, the induction of the de-NEDDylating enzyme NEDP1 restricts the formation of NEDD8 chains, mainly through lysines K11/K48. This promotes APAF1 oligomerization and apoptosis induction, a step that requires the HSP70 ATPase activity. HSP70 binds to NEDD8, and, in vitro, the conversion of NEDD8 chains into mono-NEDD8 stimulates HSP70 ATPase activity. This effect is independent of NEDD8 conjugation onto substrates. The study indicates that the NEDD8 cycle is a regulatory module of HSP70 function. These findings may be important in tumorigenesis, as we find decreased NEDP1 levels in hepatocellular carcinoma with concomitant accumulation of NEDD8 conjugates.

Non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.
