Abstract

This study investigated the dynamics of ubiquitinated proteins after an inflammatory stimulation of RAW 264.7 macrophage-like cells with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Ubiquitination is a common protein post-translational modification that regulates many key cellular functions. We demonstrated that levels of global ubiquitination and K48 and K63 polyubiquitin chains change after lipopolysaccharide stimulation. Quantitative proteomic analysis identified 1199 ubiquitinated proteins, 78 of which exhibited significant changes in ubiquitination levels following stimulation. Integrating the ubiquitinome data with global proteomic and transcriptomic results allowed us to identify a subset of 88 proteins that were targeted for degradation after lipopolysaccharide stimulation. Using cellular assays and Western blot analyses we biochemically validated DBC1 (a histone deacetylase inhibitor) as a degradation substrate, which is targeted via an orchestrated mechanism that utilizes caspases and the proteasome. The degradation of DBC1 releases histone deacetylase activity, linking lipopolysaccharide activation to chromatin remodeling in caspase- and proteasome-mediated signaling.
