Abstract

Cul3, a Cullin family scaffold protein, is thought to mediate the assembly of a large number of SCF (Skp1-Cullin1-F-box protein)-like ubiquitin ligase complexes through BTB domain substrate-recruiting adaptors. Cul3 controls early embryonic development in several genetic models through mechanisms not understood. Very few functional substrate/adaptor pairs for Cul3 ubiquitin ligases have been identified. Here, we show that Cul3 knockdown in human cells results in abnormal actin stress fibers and distorted cell morphology, owing to impaired ubiquitination and degradation of small GTPase RhoA. We identify a family of RhoA-binding BTB domain adaptors conserved from insects to mammals, designated BACURDs. BACURDs form ubiquitin ligase complexes, which selectively ubiquitinate RhoA, with Cul3. Dysfunction of the Cul3/BACURD complex decreases cell migration potential and impairs RhoA-mediated convergent extension movements during Xenopus gastrulation. Our studies reveal a previously unknown mechanism for controlling RhoA degradation and regulating RhoA function in various biological contexts, which involves a Cul3/BACURD ubiquitin ligase complex.
