Structural insight into G-protein chaperone-mediated maturation of a bacterial adenosylcobalamin-dependent mutase.

ABSTRACT: G-protein metallochaperones are essential for the proper maturation of numerous metalloenzymes. The G-protein chaperone MMAA in humans (MeaB in bacteria) uses GTP hydrolysis to facilitate the delivery of adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) to AdoCbl-dependent methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, an essential metabolic enzyme. This G-protein chaperone also facilitates the removal of damaged cobalamin (Cbl) for repair. Although most chaperones are standalone proteins, isobutyryl-CoA mutase fused (IcmF) has a G-protein domain covalently attached to its target mutase. We previously showed that dimeric MeaB undergoes a 180° rotation to reach a state capable of GTP hydrolysis (an active G-protein state), in which so-called switch III residues of one protomer contact the G-nucleotide of the other protomer. However, it was unclear whether other G-protein chaperones also adopted this conformation. Here, we show that the G-protein domain in a fused system forms a similar active conformation, requiring IcmF oligomerization. IcmF oligomerizes both upon Cbl damage and in the presence of the nonhydrolyzable GTP analog, guanosine-5'-[(β,γ)-methyleno]triphosphate, forming supramolecular complexes observable by mass photometry and EM. Cryo-EM structural analysis reveals that the second protomer of the G-protein intermolecular dimer props open the mutase active site using residues of switch III as a wedge, allowing for AdoCbl insertion or damaged Cbl removal. With the series of structural snapshots now available, we now describe here the molecular basis of G-protein-assisted AdoCbl-dependent mutase maturation, explaining how GTP binding prepares a mutase for cofactor delivery and how GTP hydrolysis allows the mutase to capture the cofactor.

Project description:The ClpB/Hsp104 and Hsp70 classes of molecular chaperones use ATP hydrolysis to dissociate protein aggregates and complexes, and to move proteins through membranes. ClpB/Hsp104 are members of the AAA+ family of proteins which form ring-shaped hexamers. Loops lining the pore in the ring engage substrate proteins as extended polypeptides. Interdomain rotations and conformational changes in these loops coupled to ATP hydrolysis unfold and pull proteins through the pore. This provides a mechanism that progressively disrupts local secondary and tertiary structure in substrates, allowing these chaperones to dissociate stable aggregates such as β-sheet rich prions or coiled coil SNARE complexes. While the ClpB/Hsp104 mechanism appears to embody a true power-stroke in which an ATP powered conformational change in one protein is directly coupled to movement or structural change in another, the mechanism of force generation by Hsp70s is distinct and less well understood. Both active power-stroke and purely passive mechanisms in which Hsp70 captures spontaneous fluctuations in a substrate have been proposed, while a third proposed mechanism-entropic pulling-may be able to generate forces larger than seen in ATP-driven molecular motors without the conformational coupling required for a power-stroke. The disaggregase activity of these chaperones is required for thermotolerance, but unrestrained protein complex/aggregate dissociation is potentially detrimental. Disaggregating chaperones are strongly auto-repressed, and are regulated by co-chaperones which recruit them to protein substrates and activate the disaggregases via mechanisms involving either sequential transfer of substrate from one chaperone to another and/or simultaneous interaction of substrate with multiple chaperones. By effectively subjecting substrates to multiple levels of selection by multiple chaperones, this may insure that these potent disaggregases are only activated in the appropriate context.
