Resonance assignment of the Shank1 PDZ domain.

ABSTRACT: Shank proteins are among the most abundant and well-studied postsynaptic scaffold proteins. Their PDZ domain has unique characteristics as one of its loop regions flanking the ligand-binding site is uniquely long and has also been implicated in the formation of PDZ dimers. Here we report the initial characterization of the Shank1 PDZ domain by solution NMR spectroscopy. The assigned chemical shifts are largely consistent with the common features of PDZ domains in general and the available Shank PDZ crystal structures in particular. Our analysis suggests that under the conditions investigated, the domain is monomeric and the unique loop harbors a short helical segment, observed in only one of the known X-ray structures so far. Our work stresses the importance of solution-state investigations to fully decipher the functional relevance of the structural and dynamical features unique to Shank PDZ domains.

Biophysical and structural analyses of the interaction between the SHANK1 PDZ domain and an internal SLiM.

Project description:The PDZ (Postsynaptic density protein-95[PSD-95]/Discs-large) domain, prevalent as a recognition module, has attracted significant attention given its ability to specifically recognize ligands with consensus motifs (also termed PDZ binding motifs [PBMs]). PBMs typically bear a C-terminal carboxylate as a recognition handle and have been extensively characterized, whilst internal ligands are less well known. Here we characterize a short linear motif (SLiM) - EESTSFQGP - as an internal PBM based on its strong binding affinity towards the SHANK1 PDZ domain (SHANK1656-762 hereafter referred to as SHANK1). Using the acetylated analogue Ac-EESTSFQGP-CONH2 as a competitor for the interaction of SHANK1 with FAM-Ahx-EESTSFQGP-CONH2 or a typical fluorophore-labelled C-terminal PBM - GKAP - FITC-Ahx-EAQTRL-COOH - the internal SLiM was demonstrated to show comparable low-micromolar IC50 by competition fluorescent anisotropy. To gain further insight into the internal ligand interaction at the molecular level, we obtained the X-ray co-crystal structure of the Ac-EESTSFQGP-CONH2/SHANK1 complex and compared this to the Ac-EAQTRL-COOH/SHANK1 complex. The crystallographic studies reveal that the SHANK1 backbones for the two interactions overlap significantly. The main structural differences were shown to result from the flexible loops which reorganize to accommodate the two PBMs with distinct lengths and terminal groups. In addition, the two C-terminal residues Gly and Pro in Ac-EESTSFQGP-CONH2 were shown not to participate in interaction with the target protein, implying further truncation and structural modification using peptidomimetic approaches on this sequence may be feasible. Taken together, the SLiM Ac-EESTSFQGP-CONH2 holds potential as an internal ligand for targeting SHANK1.

Backbone resonance assignment of the BCL6-BTB/POZ domain.

Project description:BCL6 is a transcriptional repressor. Two domains of the protein, the N-terminal BTB-POZ domain and the RD2 domain are responsible for recruitment of co-repressor molecules and histone deacetylases. The BTB-POZ domain is found in a large and diverse range of proteins that play important roles in development, homeostasis and neoplasia. Crystal structures of several BTB-POZ domains, including BCL6 have been determined. The BTB-POZ domain of BCL6 not only mediates dimerisation but is also responsible for recruitment of co-repressors such as SMRT, NCOR and BCOR. Interestingly both SMRT and BCOR bind to the same site within the BCL6 BTB-POZ domain despite having very different primary sequences. Since both peptides and small molecules have been shown to bind to the co-repressor binding site it would suggest that the BTB_POZ domain is a suitable target for drug discovery. Here we report near complete backbone 15N, 13C and 1H assignments for the BTB-POZ domain of BCL6 to assist in the analysis of binding modes for small molecules.

Integrated analysis of Shank1 PDZ interactions with C-terminal and internal binding motifs.

Project description:PDZ domains constitute a large family of modular domains that are well-known for binding C-terminal motifs of target proteins. Some of them also bind to internal PDZ binding motifs (PDZbms), but this aspect of the PDZ interactome is poorly studied. Here we explored internal PDZbm-mediated interactions using the PDZ domain of Shank1 as a model. We identified a series of human Shank1 ligands with C-terminal or internal PDZbms using proteomic peptide-phage display, and established that while the consensus sequence of C-terminal ligands is x-T-x-(L/F)-COOH, the consensus of internal PDZbm is exclusively x-T-x-F-x, where x is any amino acid. We found that the affinities of PDZbm interactions are in the low micromolar range. The crystal structure of the complex between Shank1 PDZ and an internal PDZbm revealed that the binding mode of internal PDZbms was similar to that of C-terminal ligands. Pull-down experiments confirmed that both C-terminal and internal PDZbm interactions can occur in the context of full-length proteins. Our study expands the interactome of Shank1 and hints at a largely unexplored interaction space of PDZ domains.

Resonance assignment of coiled-coil 3 (CC3) domain of human STIM1.

Project description:The protein stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) plays a pivotal role in mediating store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) into cells, which is essential for adaptive immunity. It acts as a calcium sensor in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and extends into the cytosol, where it changes from an inactive (tight) to an active (extended) oligomeric form upon calcium store depletion. NMR studies of this protein are challenging due to its membrane-spanning and aggregation properties. Therefore follow the divide-and-conquer approach, focusing on individual domains first is in order. The cytosolic part is predicted to have a large content of coiled-coil (CC) structure. We report the 1H, 13C, 15N chemical shift assignments of the CC3 domain. This domain is crucial for the stabilisation of the tight quiescent form of STIM1 as well as for activating the ORAI calcium channel by direct contact, in the extended active form.

1H, 13C, and 15N resonance assignment of the ubiquitin-like domain from Dsk2p.

Project description:The ubiquitin-like domain (UBL) of yeast protein Dsk2p is widely believed to recognize and bind to ubiquitin receptors on the proteasome and, as part of Dsk2p, to bridge polyubiquitinated substrates and proteasomal degradation machinery. Here we report NMR resonance assignment for (1)H, (15)N, and (13)C nuclei in the backbone and side chains of the UBL domain of Dsk2p. This assignment will aid in NMR studies focused on understanding of Dsk2's interactions with proteasomal receptors and its role as a polyubiquitin shuttle in the ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation as well as other cellular pathways.

De novo resonance assignment of the transmembrane domain of LR11/SorLA in E. coli membranes.

Project description:Membrane proteins perform many important cellular functions. Historically, structural studies of these proteins have been conducted in detergent preparations and synthetic lipid bilayers. More recently, magic-angle-spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR has been employed to analyze membrane proteins in native membrane environments, but resonance assignments with this technique remain challenging due to limited spectral resolution and high resonance degeneracy. To tackle this issue, we combine reverse labeling of amino acids, frequency-selective dipolar dephasing, and NMR difference spectroscopy. These methods have resulted in nearly complete resonance assignments of the transmembrane domain of human LR11 (SorLA) protein in E. coli membranes. To reduce background signals from E. coli lipids and proteins and improve spectral sensitivity, we effectively utilize amylose affinity chromatography to prepare membrane vesicles when MBP is included as a fusion partner in the expression construct.

NMR resonance assignment of the N-terminal GTPase domain of human Miro2 Bound to GTP.

Project description:Miro2 and Miro1 are mitochondrial-associated proteins critical for regulating mitochondrial movement within the cell. Both Miro1 and Miro2 have roles in promoting neuron function, but recently Miro2 has been shown to have additional roles in response to nutrient starvation in tumor cells. Miro1 and 2 consist of two small GTPase domains flanking a pair of EF-hands. The N-terminal GTPase (nGTPase) domain is responsible for initiating mitochondrial trafficking and interactions with GCN1 in prostate cancer. The crystal structure of Miro1 nGTPase bound to GTP has been solved. However, no structural data is available for the nGTPase domain of Miro2. To better understand the similarities and differences in the functions of Miro1 and Miro2, we have initiated structural studies of Miro2. Here we report the backbone NMR chemical shift assignments of a 22 KDa construct of the nGTPase domain of Miro2 bound to GTP that includes residues 1-180 of the full-length protein. We affirm that the overall secondary structure of this complex closely resembles that of Miro1 nGTPase bound to GTP. Minor variations in the overall structures can be attributed to crystal packing interactions in the structure of Miro1. These NMR studies will form the foundation for future work identifying the specific interaction sites between Miro2 and its cellular binding partners.

Backbone resonance assignment of the HEAT1-domain of the human eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4GI.

Project description:Controlling translation during protein synthesis is crucial for cell proliferation and differentiation. Protein translation is orchestrated by an assembly of various protein components at the ribosomal subunits. The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4G (eIF4G) plays an important role in the formation of the translation initiation complex eIF4F consisting of eIF4G, the ATP dependent RNA helicase eIF4A and the cap binding protein eIF4E. One of the functions of eIF4G is the enhancement of the activity of eIF4A facilitated mainly through binding to the HEAT1 domain of eIF4G. In order to understand the interaction of HEAT1 with eIF4A and other components during translation initiation backbone assignment is essential. Here we report the (1)H, (13)C and (15)N backbone assignment for the HEAT1 domain of human eIF4G isoform I (eIF4GI-HEAT1), the first of three HEAT domains of eIF4G (29 kDa) as a basis for the elucidation of its structure and interactions with its binding partners, necessary for understanding the mechanism of its biological function.

Bivalent peptides as PDZ domain ligands.

Project description:A series of multivalent peptides, with the ability to simultaneously bind two separate PDZ domain proteins, has been designed, synthesized, and tested by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). The monomer sequences, linked with succinate, varied in length from five to nine residues. The thermodynamic binding parameters, in conjunction with results from mass spectrometry, indicate that a ternary complex is formed in which each peptide arm binds two equivalents of the third PDZ domain (PDZ3) of the neuronal protein PSD-95.

Contact replacement for NMR resonance assignment.

Project description:MotivationComplementing its traditional role in structural studies of proteins, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is playing an increasingly important role in functional studies. NMR dynamics experiments characterize motions involved in target recognition, ligand binding, etc., while NMR chemical shift perturbation experiments identify and localize protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions. The key bottleneck in these studies is to determine the backbone resonance assignment, which allows spectral peaks to be mapped to specific atoms. This article develops a novel approach to address that bottleneck, exploiting an available X-ray structure or homology model to assign the entire backbone from a set of relatively fast and cheap NMR experiments.ResultsWe formulate contact replacement for resonance assignment as the problem of computing correspondences between a contact graph representing the structure and an NMR graph representing the data; the NMR graph is a significantly corrupted, ambiguous version of the contact graph. We first show that by combining connectivity and amino acid type information, and exploiting the random structure of the noise, one can provably determine unique correspondences in polynomial time with high probability, even in the presence of significant noise (a constant number of noisy edges per vertex). We then detail an efficient randomized algorithm and show that, over a variety of experimental and synthetic datasets, it is robust to typical levels of structural variation (1-2 AA), noise (250-600%) and missings (10-40%). Our algorithm achieves very good overall assignment accuracy, above 80% in alpha-helices, 70% in beta-sheets and 60% in loop regions.AvailabilityOur contact replacement algorithm is implemented in platform-independent Python code. The software can be freely obtained for academic use by request from the authors.
