Heme-oxidized IRP2 ubiquitin ligase 1 (HOIL-1L) serves as a unique E3 ligase to catalyze the mono-ubiquitination of relevant protein or sugar substrates and plays vital roles in numerous cellular processes in mammals. However, the molecular mechanism underpinning the E3 activity of HOIL-1L and the related regulatory mechanism remain elusive. Here, we report the crystal structure of the catalytic core region of HOIL-1L and unveil the key catalytic triad residues of HOIL-1L. Moreover, we discover that HOIL-1L contains two distinct linear di-ubiquitin binding sites that can synergistically bind to linear tetra-ubiquitin, and the binding of HOIL-1L with linear tetra-ubiquitin can promote its E3 activity. The determined HOIL-1L/linear tetra-ubiquitin complex structure not only elucidates the detailed binding mechanism of HOIL-1L with linear tetra-ubiquitin but also uncovers a unique allosteric ubiquitin-binding site for the activation of HOIL-1L. In all, our findings provide mechanistic insights into the E3 activity of HOIL-1L and its regulation by the linear ubiquitin chain binding.

The structural characterization and differentiation of four types of oligoubiquitin conjugates [linear (Met1)-, Lys11-, Lys48-, Lys63-linked di-, tri-, and tetraubiquitin chains] using ion mobility mass spectrometry are reported. A comparison of collision cross sections for the same linkage of di-, tri-, and tetraubiquitin chains shows differences in conformational elongation for higher charge states due to the interplay of linkage-derived structure and Coulombic repulsion. For di- and triubiquitin chains, this elongation results in a single narrow feature representing an elongated conformation type for multiple higher charge state species.

To maintain secretory pathway fidelity, misfolded proteins are commonly retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and selected for ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Soluble misfolded proteins use ER chaperones for retention, but the machinery that restricts aberrant membrane proteins to the ER is unclear. In fact, some misfolded membrane proteins escape the ER and traffic to the lysosome/vacuole.

PINK1 selectively recruits Parkin to depolarized mitochondria for quarantine and removal of damaged mitochondria via ubiquitylation. Dysfunction of this process predisposes development of familial recessive Parkinson's disease. Although various models for the recruitment process have been proposed, none of them adequately explain the accumulated data, and thus the molecular basis for PINK1 recruitment of Parkin remains to be fully elucidated.
