Recruitment of ubiquitin E2 enzymes is determined jointly by the U-box domains and substrates of E3 ligases

Ubiquitination is a cascade reaction involving E1, E2, and E3 enzymes. The orthogonal ubiquitin transfer (OUT) method has been previously established to identify potential substrates of E3 ligases. In this study, we verified the ubiquitination of five substrates mediated by the E3 ligases CHIP and E4B. To further explore the activity of U-box domains of E3 ligases, two mutants with the U-box domains interchanged between CHIP and E4B were generated. They exhibited a significantly reduced ubiquitination ability. Additionally, different E3s recruited similar E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes when ubiquitinating the same substrates, highlighting that U-box domains determined the E2 recruitment, while the substrate determined the E2 selectivity. This study reveals the influence of substrates and U-box domains on E2 recruitment, providing a novel perspective on the function of U-box domains of E3 ligases.
