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. However, accumulating evidence shows that Met1-Ub is broadly involved in other cellular pathways including MAPK, Wnt/β-Catenin, PI3K/AKT and interferon signaling, and participates in various cellular processes including angiogenesis, protein quality control and autophagy, suggesting that Met1-Ub harbors a potent signaling capacity. Here, we review the formation and cellular functions of Met1-linked ubiquitin chains, with an emphasis on the recent advances in the cellular mechanisms by which Met1-Ub controls signaling transduction.

RNF31 is a multifunctional RING finger protein implicated in various inflammatory diseases and cancers. It functions as a core component of the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC), which activates the nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) pathway via the generation of the Met1-linked linear ubiquitin chain. We aimed to clarify the role of RNF31 in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its relevance as a therapeutic target.

In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the progressive accumulation of ubiquitin-positive cytoplasmic inclusions leads to proteinopathy and neurodegeneration. Along with the seven types of Lys-linked ubiquitin chains, the linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC)-mediated Met1-linked linear ubiquitin chain, which activates the canonical NF-κB pathway, is also involved in cytoplasmic inclusions of tau in AD and TAR DNA-binding protein 43 in ALS. Post-translational modifications, including heterologous ubiquitination, affect proteasomal and autophagic degradation, inflammatory responses, and neurodegeneration.

The linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC), which is composed of RING finger protein 31 (RNF31), RANBP2-type and C3HC4-type zinc finger containing 1 and SHANK-associated RH domain interactor subunits, is the only ubiquitin ligase to generate Met1-linked linear ubiquitin chains. Linear ubiquitin chains regulate canonical NF-κB activation and cell death. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in RNF31, such as Q584H and Q622L, are known to cause the activated B cell-like subtype of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (ABC-DLBCL) because of enhanced LUBAC-mediated NF-κB activation.

ADP-heptose activates the protein kinase ALPK1 triggering TIFA phosphorylation at Thr9, the recruitment of TRAF6 and the subsequent production of inflammatory mediators. Here, we demonstrate that ADP-heptose also stimulates the formation of Lys63- and Met1-linked ubiquitin chains to activate the TAK1 and canonical IKK complexes, respectively. We further show that the E3 ligases TRAF6 and c-IAP1 operate redundantly to generate the Lys63-linked ubiquitin chains required for pathway activation, which we demonstrate are attached to TRAF6, TRAF2 and c-IAP1, and that c-IAP1 is recruited to TIFA by TRAF2.
