Conformational dynamics of the bacterial E3 ligase SspH1
Open accessPreprint — published as 10.1016/j.jbc.2025.110671 · Paper page
Abstract
The SspH/IpaH family of novel E3 ligases (NELs) are found in a number of Gram-negative bacteria and are used to target host enzymes for degradation to support pathogenesis. These E3 enzymes are autoinhibited in the absence of substrate and different models for release of autoinhibition have been suggested. However, many of the molecular details of individual steps during the ubiquitin transfer reaction remain unknown. Here, we present the crystal structure of Salmonella SspH1 and an analysis of the solution properties of SspH1 on its own and in complex with substrate and ubiquitin. Our data show that SspH1 exists in a conformational equilibrium between open and closed states and that substrate binding only modulates the distribution of these states but does not induce major conformational changes. This suggests that additional mechanisms must exist to bring the substrates close to the active site to mediate transfer of ubiquitin from the E3∼Ub conjugate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
