The sterol-responsive E3 ubiquitin ligase Inducible Degrader of the LDLR (IDOL) specifically promotes ubiquitination and subsequent lysosomal degradation of the LDLR and thus controls cellular LDL uptake. IDOL contains an extended N-terminal FERM (F for 4.1 protein, E for ezrin, R for radixin and M for moesin) domain, responsible for substrate recognition and plasma-membrane association, and a second C-terminal RING domain, responsible for the E3 ligase activity and homo-dimerization. As IDOL is a putative lipid-lowering drug-target we investigated the molecular details of its substrate recognition. We produced and isolated full-length IDOL protein, which displayed high auto-ubiquitination activity. However, in vitro ubiquitination of its substrate, the intracellular tail of the LDLR, was low. To investigate the structural basis for this we determined crystal structures of the extended FERM domain of IDOL and multiple conformations of its F3ab subdomain. These reveal the archetypal F1-F2-F3 tri-lobed FERM domain structure but show that the F3c subdomain orientation obscures the target binding site. To substantiate this finding, we analyzed the full length FERM domain and a series of truncated FERM constructs by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The scattering data support a compact and globular core FERM domain with a more flexible and extended C-terminal region. This flexibility may explain the low activity in vitro and suggests that IDOL may require activation for recognition of the LDLR.	Jul 2020
