Analysis of the oligomeric state of mycobacterial membrane protein large 3 and its interaction with SQ109 with native cell membrane nanoparticles system.

ABSTRACT: Mycobacterial membrane protein large 3 (Mmpl3) as a trehalose monomycolate lipid transporter contributes to cell wall biosynthesis. Inhibition of Mmpl3 can suppress cell growth and lead to mycobacterial death. SQ109 is a hydrophobic inhibitor of Mmpl3. We have devised a detergent-free strategy to characterize the SQ109/Mmpl3 interaction using the Native Cell Membrane Nanoparticles (NCMN) system, a new method for extracting membrane proteins that better retains native lipids. The homogeneity of the Mmpl3 NCMN particles was confirmed with electron microscopy. The hydrophobic protein-ligand interaction analysis shown for Mmpl3 using the NCMN system may broadly apply to other membrane proteins.

Native Cell Membrane Nanoparticles System for Membrane Protein-Protein Interaction Analysis.

Project description:Protein-protein interactions in cell membrane systems play crucial roles in a wide range of biological processes- from cell-to-cell interactions to signal transduction; from sensing environmental signals to biological response; from metabolic regulation to developmental control. Accurate structural information of protein-protein interactions is crucial for understanding the molecular mechanisms of membrane protein complexes and for the design of highly specific molecules to modulate these proteins. Many in vivo and in vitro approaches have been developed for the detection and analysis of protein-protein interactions. Among them the structural biology approach is unique in that it can provide direct structural information of protein-protein interactions at the atomic level. However, current membrane protein structural biology is still largely limited to detergent-based methods. The major drawback of detergent-based methods is that they often dissociate or denature membrane protein complexes once their native lipid bilayer environment is removed by detergent molecules. We have been developing a native cell membrane nanoparticle system for membrane protein structural biology. Here, we demonstrate the use of this system in the analysis of protein-protein interactions on the cell membrane with a case study of the oligomeric state of AcrB.

Chemical Additives Enable Native Mass Spectrometry Measurement of Membrane Protein Oligomeric State within Intact Nanodiscs.

Project description:Membrane proteins play critical biochemical roles but remain challenging to study. Recently, native or nondenaturing mass spectrometry (MS) has made great strides in characterizing membrane protein interactions. However, conventional native MS relies on detergent micelles, which may disrupt natural interactions. Lipoprotein nanodiscs provide a platform to present membrane proteins for native MS within a lipid bilayer environment, but previous native MS of membrane proteins in nanodiscs has been limited by the intermediate stability of nanodiscs. It is difficult to eject membrane proteins from nanodiscs for native MS but also difficult to retain intact nanodisc complexes with membrane proteins inside. Here, we employed chemical reagents that modulate the charge acquired during electrospray ionization (ESI). By modulating ESI conditions, we could either eject the membrane protein complex with few bound lipids or capture the intact membrane protein nanodisc complex-allowing measurement of the membrane protein oligomeric state within an intact lipid bilayer environment. The dramatic differences in the stability of nanodiscs under different ESI conditions opens new applications for native MS of nanodiscs.

Hydroxylation of Antitubercular Drug Candidate, SQ109, by Mycobacterial Cytochrome P450.

Project description:Spreading of the multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of the one of the most harmful pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) generates the need for new effective drugs. SQ109 showed activity against resistant Mtb and already advanced to Phase II/III clinical trials. Fast SQ109 degradation is attributed to the human liver Cytochrome P450s (CYPs). However, no information is available about interactions of the drug with Mtb CYPs. Here, we show that Mtb CYP124, previously assigned as a methyl-branched lipid monooxygenase, binds and hydroxylates SQ109 in vitro. A 1.25 Å-resolution crystal structure of the CYP124-SQ109 complex unambiguously shows two conformations of the drug, both positioned for hydroxylation of the ω-methyl group in the trans position. The hydroxylated SQ109 presumably forms stabilizing H-bonds with its target, Mycobacterial membrane protein Large 3 (MmpL3). We anticipate that Mtb CYPs could function as analogs of drug-metabolizing human CYPs affecting pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of antitubercular (anti-TB) drugs.

Membrane protein native state discrimination by implicit membrane models.

Project description:Four implicit membrane models [IMM1, generalized Born (GB)-surface area-implicit membrane (GBSAIM), GB with a simple switching (GBSW), and heterogeneous dielectric GB (HDGB)] were tested for their ability to discriminate the native conformation of five membrane proteins from 450 decoys generated by the Rosetta-Membrane program. The energy ranking of the native state and Z-scores were used to assess the performance of the models. The effect of membrane thickness was examined and was found to be substantial. Quite satisfactory discrimination was achieved with the all-atom IMM1 and GBSW models at 25.4 Å thickness and with the HDGB model at 28.5 Å thickness. The energy components by themselves were not discriminative. Both van der Waals and electrostatic interactions contributed to native state discrimination, to a different extent in each model. Computational efficiency of the models decreased in the order: extended-atom IMM1 > all-atom IMM1 > GBSAIM > GBSW > HDGB. These results encourage the further development and use of implicit membrane models for membrane protein structure prediction.

The state of F-BAR domains as membrane-bound oligomeric platforms.

Project description:Fes/Cip4 homology Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs (F-BAR) domains, like all BAR domains, are dimeric units that oligomerize and bind membranes. F-BAR domains are generally coupled to additional domains that function in protein binding or have enzymatic activity. Because of their crescent shape and ability to oligomerize, F-BAR domains have been traditionally viewed as membrane-deformation modules. However, multiple independent studies have provided no evidence that certain F-BAR domains are able to tubulate membrane. Instead, a growing body of literature featuring structural, biochemical, biophysical, and microscopy-based studies supports the idea that the F-BAR domain family can be unified only by their ability to form oligomeric assemblies on membranes to provide platforms for molecular assembly.

Oligomeric organization of membrane proteins from native membranes at nanoscale spatial and single-molecule resolution.

Project description:The oligomeric organization of membrane proteins in native cell membranes is a critical regulator of their function. High-resolution quantitative measurements of oligomeric assemblies and how they change under different conditions are indispensable to understanding membrane protein biology. We report Native-nanoBleach, a total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy-based single-molecule photobleaching step analysis technique to determine the oligomeric distribution of membrane proteins directly from native membranes at an effective spatial resolution of ~10 nm. We achieved this by capturing target membrane proteins in native nanodiscs with their proximal native membrane environment using amphipathic copolymers. We applied Native-nanoBleach to quantify the oligomerization status of structurally and functionally diverse membrane proteins, including a receptor tyrosine kinase (TrkA) and a small GTPase (KRas) under growth-factor binding and oncogenic mutations, respectively. Our data suggest that Native-nanoBleach provides a sensitive, single-molecule platform to quantify membrane protein oligomeric distributions in native membranes under physiologically and clinically relevant conditions.

Probing the oligomeric state and interaction surfaces of Fukutin-I in dilauroylphosphatidylcholine bilayers.

Project description:Fukutin-I is localised to the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus within the cell, where it is believed to function as a glycosyltransferase. Its localisation within the cell is thought to to be mediated by the interaction of its N-terminal transmembrane domain with the lipid bilayers surrounding these compartments, each of which possesses a distinctive lipid composition. However, it remains unclear at the molecular level how the interaction between the transmembrane domains of this protein and the surrounding lipid bilayer drives its retention within these compartments. In this work, we employed chemical cross-linking and fluorescence resonance energy transfer measurements in conjunction with multiscale molecular dynamics simulations to determine the oligomeric state of the protein within dilauroylphosphatidylcholine bilayers to identify interactions between the transmembrane domains and to ascertain any role these interactions may play in protein localisation. Our studies reveal that the N-terminal transmembrane domain of Fukutin-I exists as dimer within dilauroylphosphatidylcholine bilayers and that this interaction is driven by interactions between a characteristic TXXSS motif. Furthermore residues close to the N-terminus that have previously been shown to play a key role in the clustering of lipids are shown to also play a major role in anchoring the protein in the membrane.

Determining the Functional Oligomeric State of Membrane-Associated Protein Oligomers Forming Membrane Pores on Giant Lipid Vesicles.

Project description:Several peripheral membrane proteins are known to form membrane pores through multimerization. In many cases, in biochemical reconstitution experiments, a complex distribution of oligomeric states has been observed that may, in part, be irrelevant to their physiological functions. This phenomenon makes it difficult to identify the functional oligomeric states of membrane lipid interacting proteins, for example, during the formation of transient membrane pores. Using fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) as an example, we present a methodology applicable to giant lipid vesicles by which functional oligomers can be distinguished from nonspecifically aggregated proteins without functionality. Two distinct populations of fibroblast growth factor 2 were identified with (i) dimers to hexamers and (ii) a broad population of higher oligomeric states of membrane-associated FGF2 oligomers significantly distorting the original unfiltered histogram of all detectable oligomeric species of FGF2. The presented statistical approach is relevant for various techniques for characterizing membrane-dependent protein oligomerization.

A Composite Membrane System with Gold Nanoparticles, Hydroxyapatite, and Fullerenol for Dual Interaction for Biomedical Purposes.

Project description:Background: Wound dressing plays a vital role in post-operative aftercare. There is the necessity to develop dressings for application on the border of soft and hard tissue. This study aimed to develop multifunctional polyelectrolyte layers enhanced by hydroxyapatite nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and/or fullerenol nanocomposites to achieve a wound dressing that could be applied on the bone-skin interface. Methods: Constructed shells were examined using TEM, STEM, and EDX techniques. The human osteoblasts or fibroblasts were immobilized within the shells. The systems morphology was assessed using SEM. The functioning of cells was determined by flow cytomery. Moreover, the internalization of AuNPs was assessed. Results: Involvement of fullerenol and/or hydroxyapatite nanoparticles influenced the immobilized cell systems morphology. Membranes with fullerenol and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were observed to block the internalization of AuNPs by immobilized hFOB cells. Conclusions: The designed bilayer membranes incorporating fullerenol, and bacteriostatic elements, prevented the internalization of AuNPs by hFOB cells and ensured the proper counts and morphology of eukaryotic cells. The developed material can be recommended for dressings at the bone-skin interface.

Interaction between the NS4B amphipathic helix, AH2, and charged lipid headgroups alters membrane morphology and AH2 oligomeric state--Implications for the Hepatitis C virus life cycle.

Project description:The non-structural protein 4B (NS4B) from Hepatitis C virus (HCV) plays a pivotal role in the remodelling of the host cell's membranes, required for the formation of the viral replication complex where genome synthesis occurs. NS4B is an integral membrane protein that possesses a number of domains vital for viral replication. Structural and biophysical studies have revealed that one of these, the second amphipathic N-terminal helix (AH2), plays a key role in these remodelling events. However, there is still limited understanding of the mechanism through which AH2 promotes these changes. Here we report on solid-state NMR and molecular dynamics studies that demonstrate that AH2 promotes the clustering of negatively charged lipids within the bilayer, a process that reduces the strain within the bilayer facilitating the remodelling of the lipid bilayer. Furthermore, the presence of negatively charged lipids within the bilayer appears to promote the disassociation of AH2 oligomers, highlighting a potential role for lipid recruitment in regulating NS protein interactions.
