DepMap Analysis

The Dependency Map (DepMap) is a genome-wide pooled CRISPR-Cas9 knockout proliferation screen conducted in more than 700 cancer cell lines spanning many different tumor lineages. Each cell line in the DepMap contains a unique barcode, and each gene knockout is assigned a “dependency score” on a per cell-line basis which quantifies the rate of CRISPR-Cas9 guide drop. It has been found that proteins with similar DepMap scores across cell lines, a phenomenon known as co-dependent genes, have closely related biological functions. This can include activity in the same or parallel pathways or membership in the same protein complex or the same pathway.

We identified the strongest seven co-dependent genes (“Symbol”) for DUBs and ran GO enrichment analysis. We used Biogrid, IntAct, and Pathway Commons PPIDs, and the NURSA protein-protein interaction databases (PPIDs) to determine whether co-dependent genes interact with one another. The “Evidence” column contains the PPIDs in which the interaction appears as well as whether there is support for the association by an INDRA statement. As another approach to identify potential interactors, we looked at proteomics data from the Broad Institute's Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) for proteins whose expression across ~375 cell lines strongly correlated with the abundance of each DUB; it has previously been observed that proteins in the same complex are frequently significantly co-expressed. The correlations and associated p-values in the CCLE proteomics dataset are provided. And, we determined whether co-dependent genes yield similar transcriptomic signatures in the Broad Institute's Connectivity Map (CMap). A CMap score greater than 90 is considered significantly similar.

Dependency GO Term Enrichment

Gene set enrichment analysis was done on the genes correlated with USP4using the terms from Gene Ontology and gene sets derived from the Gene Ontology Annotations database via MSigDB.

Using the biological processes and other Gene Ontology terms from well characterized DUBs as a positive control, several gene set enrichment analyses were considered. Threshold-less methods like GSEA had relatively poor results. Over-representation analysis with a threshold of of the top 7 highest absolute value Dependency Map correlations yielded the best results and is reported below.

USP4 deubiquitinates MAP3K7. 10 / 13
1 | 12

reach
USP4 deubiquitinates TAK1 in vitro and in vivo.

reach
These results indicate that USP4 mainly inhibits inducible TAK1 polyubiquitination and activation whereas CYLD mainly inhibits basal level of TAK1 polyubiquitination and activation.

reach
USP4 deubiquitinates TAK1 in vivo and in vitro.

ubibrowser
Using a functional genomic approach, we have identified ubiquitin-specific peptidase 4 (USP4) as a deubiquitinase for TAK1.

reach
In addition, USP4 inhibits TNF-alpha-induced activation of NF-kappaB through USP4 deubiquitination of TAK1 XREF_BIBR.

reach
Although it has been reported that USP4 deubiquitinates TAK1 and negatively regulates TNF- and IL-1-induced activation of NF-kappaB, how TAK1 ubiquitination is regulated in adaptive immune cells such as T cells and whether such a regulation regulates T cell mediated immune response remain unknown.

reach
USP4 also deubiquitinates TAK1 in HEK293 T cells [62].

reach
In view of the data presented here and previous reports, we propose a working model (XREF_FIG), in which that TNFalpha rapidly induces Lys63 linked TAK1 polyubiquitnation and binding of USP4 to TAK1, Lys63 linked TAK1 would be rapidly deubiquitinated by USP4 to attenuate the magnitude of TNFalpha induced Lys63 linked TAK1 polyubiquitination and TAK1 mediated IKK and NF-kappaB activation.

reach
We then analyzed the effect of USP4 knockdown on the TNFalpha induced TAK1 polyubiquitination.

reach
In conclusion, our results provide evidence that TNFalpha induces association of USP4 with TAK1 which leads to TAK1 deubiquitination in the TNFalpha mediated NF-kappaB activation.
USP4 deubiquitinates PRPF3. 10 / 11
1 | 10

reach
In particular, non proteolytic ubiquitylation of the U4/U6 protein Prp3, promoted by the Prp19 complex, is required for stabilization of the U4/U6 * U5 tri-snRNP, while de-ubiquitylation of Prp3 by Usp4 and Sart3 is required for U4 dissociation and recycling.

reach
On the other hand, Usp4 and Sart3 promote de-ubiquitination and recycling of Prp3, and this modification weakens its interaction with Prp8 and allows for the dissociation of U4 during activation of the spliceosome [49].
| PMC

reach
Moreover, we found that USP15 and USP4 deubiquitinated substrates PRP31 and PRP3 simultaneously.

reach
U5 tri-snRNP has joined the spliceosome, Usp4 deubiquitinates Prp3, decreasing its affinity for Prp8.

reach
Prp3 is deubiquitinated by Usp4, and is therefore unlikely to be a target for Bre5-Ubp3.

reach
Prp3 is deubiquitinated by Usp4 and its substrate targeting factor, the U4/U6 recycling protein Sart3, which likely facilitates ejection of U4 proteins from the spliceosome during maturation of its active site.

reach
PRP3 was deubiquitinated by USP4 consistent with a previous report but not by USP15.

reach
The result shows that USP4 no longer deubiquitinates Prp3 in the presence of SART3 DeltaNLS.

1 | 10

reach
USP4 is regulated by AKT phosphorylation and directly deubiquitylates TGF-beta type I receptor [XREF_BIBR].

reach
This phosphorylation promotes USP4 localization in membrane and cytoplasm, where USP4 deubiquitylates TbetaRI.

reach
For instance, USP4 directly interacts with and deubiquitinates TGF-beta type I receptor (TbetaRI), thereby determining the levels of TGF-beta signaling.

reach
Mechanistically, we revealed that USP4 interacted directly with and deubiquitinated TGF-beta receptor type I (TGFR-1) to activate the TGF-beta signaling pathway, and subsequently induced the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in HCC cells.

reach
USP4 can also deubiquitinate TGF-beta type I receptor (TbetaRI) and sustain its plasma membrane expression in a SMAD7 independent fashion, leading to hyperactivation of the TGF-beta pathway.

ubibrowser

reach
USP4 is regulated by AKT phos phorylation and directly deubiquitylates TGF-beta type I receptor.

reach

reach
USP4 is regulated by AKT phosphorylation and directly deubiquitylates TGF-beta type I receptor.

reach
Taken together, our results elucidate that USP4 is highly expressed in HCC and promotes the tumor invasion and metastasis, the underlying mechanism is that USP4 directly interacts with and deubiquitinates TGFR-1 to increase TGF-beta signaling Induced EMT.

reach
Recently, ARF-BP1 was reported to specifically target HDAC2 for ubiquitination and degradation and USP4 deubiquitinates and stabilizes ARF-BP1.

reach

reach
USP4 deubiquitinates TRAF6 and thereby prevents the activation of NF-kappaB and AP-1 transcription factors and subsequent proinflammatory responses.

ubibrowser
The downregulation of USP4 expression may promote microglial activation and subsequent neuronal inflammation through NF-κB by attenuating the deubiquitination of TRAF6.

reach
Taken together, these findings suggest that USP4 decreases the polyubiquitination of TRAF6 in a ubiquitin specific domain dependent manner.

reach
These findings suggest that USP4 deubiquitinates TRAF6 largely in a noncatalytic manner.

reach
However, there is no evidence of how USP4 deubiquitinates TRAF6 and TRAF2 proteins; our results prove that USP4 targets TRAF6 for K48 linked deubiquitination.
