摘要
C-degrons play critical roles in targeting the receptor proteins of Cullin-RING E3 ligase complexes to initiate protein degradation. FEM1 proteins, including FEM1A, FEM1B, and FEM1C, act as the receptors to specifically recognize Arg/C-degrons to enable CRL2-mediated protein turnover. Very few substrates have been identified for FEM1B, except CDK5R1. We found that CRL2(FEM1B) also recognizes the C-degron of an SMCR8 isoform, and uncovered the recognition of SMCR8 by FEM1B through presenting the structure of FEM1B bound to SMCR8. Our work provides insights into the role of CRL2(FEM1B) in regulating the lifetime of SMCR8, a critical autophagy regulator. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
