ABSTRACT
Deltex proteins are a family of E3 ubiquitin ligases that encode C-terminal RING and DTC domains that mediate interactions with E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes and recognise ubiquitination substrates. DTX3L is unique among the Deltex proteins based on its N-terminal domain architecture. The N-terminal D1 and D2 domains of DTX3L mediate homo-oligomerisation, and the D3 domain interacts with PARP9, a protein that contains tandem macrodomains with ADP-ribose reader function. While DTX3L and PARP9 are known to heterodimerize, they assemble into a high molecular weight oligomeric complex, but the nature of the oligomeric structure, including whether this contributes to the ADP-ribose reader function is unknown. Here, we report a crystal structure of the DTX3L N-terminal D2 domain and show that it forms a tetramer with, conveniently, D2 symmetry. We identified two interfaces in the structure a major, conserved interface with a surface of 973 Å2 and a smaller one of 415 Å2. Using native mass spectrometry, we observed molecular species that correspond to monomers, dimers and tetramers of the D2 domain. Reconstitution of DTX3L knockout cells with a D1-D2 deletion mutant showed the domain is dispensable for DTX3L-PARP9 heterodimer formation, but necessary to assemble an oligomeric complex with efficient reader function for ADP-ribosylated androgen receptor. Our results suggest that homo-oligomerisation of DTX3L is important for mono-ADP-ribosylation reading by the DTX3L-PARP9 complex and to a ligand-regulated transcription factor.
