Ubiquitin-interacting motifs (UIMs) are an important class of protein domains that interact with ubiquitin or ubiquitin-like proteins. These approximately 20 residue-long domains are found in a variety of ubiquitin receptor proteins and serve as recognition modules towards intracellular targets, which may be individual ubiquitin subunits or polyubiquitin chains attached to a variety of proteins. Previous structural studies of the interactions between UIMs with ubiquitin have shown that UIMs adopt an extended structure of a single α-helix, containing a hydrophobic surface with a conserved sequence pattern that interacts with key hydrophobic residues on ubiquitin. In light of this large body of structural studies, details regarding the presence and roles of structural dynamics and plasticity are surprisingly lacking. In order to better understand the structural basis of ubiquitin-UIM recognition, changes in the structure and dynamics of ubiquitin have been characterized upon binding of a UIM domain from the yeast Vps27 protein. The solution structure of a ubiquitin-UIM fusion protein designed to study these interactions is reported here and found to consist of a well-defined ubiquitin core and a bipartite UIM helix. Moreover, we have studied the plasticity of the docking interface as well as global changes in ubiquitin due to UIM binding at the picosecond to nanosecond and microsecond to millisecond protein motions by NMR relaxation. Changes in generalized order parameters of amide groups show a distinct trend toward increased structural rigidity at the UIM-ubiquitin interface relative to values determined in unbound ubiquitin. Analysis of 15N CPMG relaxation dispersion measurements suggest the presence of two types of motions, one directly related to the UIM-binding interface, the other being induced to distal parts of the protein. This study demonstrates a case where localized interactions among protein domains have global effects in protein motions at timescales ranging from picoseconds to milliseconds.
