Phosphorylation-Dependent Ubiquitination of Cyclin E by the SCFFbw7 Ubiquitin Ligase
Deanna M. Koepp,123Laura K. Schaefer,123*Xin Ye,1*Khandan Keyomarsi,4Claire Chu,1J. Wade Harper,1Stephen J. Elledge123
Cyclin E binds and activates the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdk2 and
catalyzes the transition from the G1 phase to the S phaseof the cell cycle. The amount of cyclin E protein present in thecell
is tightly controlled by ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis.Here we
identify the ubiquitin ligase responsible for cyclin Eubiquitination
as SCFFbw7 and demonstrate that it is functionally
conserved in yeast, flies,and mammals. Fbw7 associates specifically
with phosphorylatedcyclin E, and SCFFbw7
catalyzes cyclin E ubiquitination in vitro. Depletion of Fbw7leads to
accumulation and stabilization of cyclin E in vivo inhuman and
Drosophila melanogaster cells. Multiple F-box proteinscontribute to cyclin E stability in yeast, suggesting an overlapin SCF
E3 ligase specificity that allows combinatorial controlof cyclin E
degradation.
