The linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) participates in inflammatory and oncogenic signaling by conjugating linear ubiquitin chains to target proteins. LUBAC consists of the catalytic HOIP subunit and two accessory subunits, HOIL-1L and SHARPIN. Interactions between the ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domains of HOIP and the ubiquitin-like (UBL) domains of two accessory subunits are involved in LUBAC stabilization, but the precise molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of stable trimeric LUBAC remain elusive. We solved the co-crystal structure of the binding regions of the trimeric LUBAC complex and found that LUBAC-tethering motifs (LTMs) located N terminally to the UBL domains of HOIL-1L and SHARPIN heterodimerize and fold into a single globular domain. This interaction is resistant to dissociation and plays a critical role in stabilizing trimeric LUBAC. Inhibition of LTM-mediated HOIL-1L/SHARPIN dimerization profoundly attenuated the function of LUBAC, suggesting LTM as a superior target of LUBAC destabilization for anticancer therapeutics.

The linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) plays crucial roles in NF-κB signaling and protection against cell death by generating linear ubiquitin chains. Its accessory subunits, HOIL-1L and SHARPIN, regulate LUBAC function by binding to ubiquitin chains via their Npl4 zinc finger (NZF) domains. However, the synergistic effects of the two NZF domains on LUBAC function remain unclear.

Met1-linked ubiquitination (Met1-Ub), also known as linear ubiquitination, is a newly identified atypical type of polyubiquitination that is assembled via the N-terminal methionine (Met1) rather than an internal lysine (Lys) residue of ubiquitin. The linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) composed of HOIP, HOIL-1L and SHARPIN is the sole E3 ubiquitin ligase that specifically generates Met1-linked ubiquitin chains. The physiological role of LUBAC-mediated Met1-Ub has been first described as activating NF-κB signaling through the Met1-Ub modification of NEMO.

The linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC) is the only known E3 ligase complex in which the ubiquitin-like (UBL) domains of SHARPIN and HOIL-1L interact with HOIP to determine the structural stability of LUBAC. The interactions between subunits within LUBAC have been a topic of extensive research. However, the impact of the LTM motif on the interaction between the UBL domains of SHARPIN and HOIL-1L with HOIP remains unclear.

Linear ubiquitin chains, which are generated specifically by the linear ubiquitin assembly complex (LUBAC) ubiquitin ligase, play crucial roles in immune signaling, including NF-κB activation. LUBAC comprises catalytic large isoform of heme-oxidized iron regulatory protein 2 ubiquitin ligase 1 (HOIL-1L) interacting protein (HOIP), accessory HOIL-1L, and SHANK-associated RH domain-interacting protein (SHARPIN). Deletion of the ubiquitin ligase activity of HOIL-1L, an accessory ligase of LUBAC, augments LUBAC functions by enhancing LUBAC-mediated linear ubiquitination, which is catalyzed by HOIP.

HOIL-1L and SHARPIN are two essential regulatory subunits of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC), which is the only known E3 ligase complex generating linear ubiquitin chains. In addition to their LUBAC-dependent functions, HOIL-1L and SHARPIN alone play crucial roles in many LUBAC-independent cellular processes. Importantly, deficiency of HOIL-1L or SHARPIN leads to severe disorders in humans or mice.
