The non-catalytic epsilon DNA polymerase subunit is an NPF motif recognition protein

Description

Short linear motifs (SLiMs) in disordered protein regions direct numerous protein–protein interactions, yet most remain uncharacterized. The Asn-Pro-Phe (NPF) motif is a well-known EH-domain ligand implicated in endocytosis, but here we reveal that the non-catalytic subunit of human DNA polymerase epsilon (POLE2) also serves as a general NPF-motif receptor. Using a quantitative “native holdup” assay, we find that POLE2 selectively binds diverse NPF-containing peptides, including canonical EH-domain ligands (e.g., SYNJ1) and previously uncharacterized motifs. Biochemical measurements and mutational analysis show that NPF motifs interact with a shallow pocket near the POLE2 C-terminus, and AlphaFold predictions confirm key roles for Y513, E520, and S522 in motif coordination. Proteome-scale affinity screens identify NPF-containing nuclear proteins (e.g., WDHD1, DONSON, TTF2) that bind POLE2 with micromolar affinities, and their motif mutations abolish binding in cell extracts. Although POLE2 primarily tethers the catalytic POLE subunit to replication forks, these results indicate that it can also recruit various NPF-bearing partners involved in replication, DNA repair, and transcription regulation. Notably, NPF motifs optimized for EH-domain binding can still associate with POLE2, highlighting the inherent degeneracy of SLiM-mediated networks. Overall, these findings establish POLE2 as a central hub linking replication with other processes via broad NPF-motif recognition.

Click here to queue conversion of this dataset's submitted spectrum files to open formats (e.g. mzML). This process may take some time.

When complete, the converted files will be available in the "ccms_peak" subdirectory of the dataset's FTP space (accessible via the "FTP Download" link to the right).
Number of distinct conditions across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct condition labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "Condition" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct biological replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct replicate labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "BioReplicate" or "Replicate" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct technical replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

The technical replicate count is defined as the maximum number of times any one distinct combination of condition and biological replicate was analyzed across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category. In the case of fractionated experiments, only the first fraction is considered.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Originally identified proteins that were automatically remapped by MassIVE to proteins in the SwissProt human reference database.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct protein accessions reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct unmodified peptide sequences reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct peptide sequences (including modified variants or peptidoforms) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Total number of peptide-spectrum matches (i.e. spectrum identifications) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins quantified across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins found to be differentially abundant in at least one comparison across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

A protein is differentially abundant if its change in abundance across conditions is found to be statistically significant with an adjusted p-value <= 0.05 and lists no issues associated with statistical tests for differential abundance.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE. It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
