PB1F2 from Influenza A Virus Regulates the Interaction between Cytochrome C and Cardiolipin.

ABSTRACT: PB1F2 is a membrane associated protein encoded by the influenza virus gene in the host. Similar to endogenous pro-apoptotic proteins, it acts on the mitochondria of the host immune cells, inducing apoptosis of the cells. The PB1F2 protein has been demonstrated to facilitate the release of cytochrome c in addition to impairing the integrity of the inner mitochondrial membrane. This investigation focused on how the protein PB1F2 interacted with cardiolipin and cytochrome c. The regulation of PB1F2 on the binding of cytochrome c to cardiolipin in two kinds of in vitro membrane mimics was investigated by biophysical techniques. PB1F2 aids in the dissociation of cytochrome c-cardiolipin complexes in liposomes and nanodiscs. The results provide novel explanations and evidence for how PB1F2 functions as a viral virulence factor by inducing immune cell death.

Defining the Apoptotic Trigger: THE INTERACTION OF CYTOCHROME c AND CARDIOLIPIN.

Project description:The interaction between cytochrome c and the anionic lipid cardiolipin has been proposed as a primary event in the apoptotic signaling cascade. Numerous studies that have examined the interaction of cytochrome c with cardiolipin embedded in a variety of model phospholipid membranes have suggested that partial unfolding of the protein is a precursor to the apoptotic response. However, these studies lacked site resolution and used model systems with negligible or a positive membrane curvature, which is distinct from the large negative curvature of the invaginations of the inner mitochondrial membrane where cytochrome c resides. We have used reverse micelle encapsulation to mimic the potential effects of confinement on the interaction of cytochrome c with cardiolipin. Encapsulation of oxidized horse cytochrome c in 1-decanoyl-rac-glycerol/lauryldimethylamine-N-oxide/hexanol reverse micelles prepared in pentane yields NMR spectra essentially identical to the protein in free aqueous solution. The structure of encapsulated ferricytochrome c was determined to high precision (<r.m.s. deviation>bb ∼ 0.23 Å) using NMR-based methods and is closely similar to the cryogenic crystal structure (<r.m.s. deviation>bb ∼ 1.2 Å). Incorporation of cardiolipin into the reverse micelle surfactant shell causes localized chemical shift perturbations of the encapsulated protein, providing the first view of the cardiolipin/cytochrome c interaction interface at atomic resolution. Three distinct sites of interaction are detected: the so-called A- and L-sites, plus a previously undocumented interaction centered on residues Phe-36, Gly-37, Thr-58, Trp-59, and Lys-60. Importantly, in distinct contrast to earlier studies of this interaction, the protein is not significantly disturbed by the binding of cardiolipin in the context of the reverse micelle.

Interaction of Amphipathic Peptide from Influenza Virus M1 Protein with Mitochondrial Cytochrome Oxidase.

Project description:The Bile Acid Binding Site (BABS) of cytochrome oxidase (CcO) binds numerous amphipathic ligands. To determine which of the BABS-lining residues are critical for interaction, we used the peptide P4 and its derivatives A1-A4. P4 is composed of two flexibly bound modified α-helices from the M1 protein of the influenza virus, each containing a cholesterol-recognizing CRAC motif. The effect of the peptides on the activity of CcO was studied in solution and in membranes. The secondary structure of the peptides was examined by molecular dynamics, circular dichroism spectroscopy, and testing the ability to form membrane pores. P4 was found to suppress the oxidase but not the peroxidase activity of solubilized CcO. The Ki(app) is linearly dependent on the dodecyl-maltoside (DM) concentration, indicating that DM and P4 compete in a 1:1 ratio. The true Ki is 3 μM. The deoxycholate-induced increase in Ki(app) points to a competition between P4 and deoxycholate. A1 and A4 inhibit solubilized CcO with Ki(app)~20 μM at 1 mM DM. A2 and A3 hardly inhibit CcO either in solution or in membranes. The mitochondrial membrane-bound CcO retains sensitivity to P4 and A4 but acquires resistance to A1. We associate the inhibitory effect of P4 with its binding to BABS and dysfunction of the proton channel K. Trp residue is critical for inhibition. The resistance of the membrane-bound enzyme to inhibition may be due to the disordered secondary structure of the inhibitory peptide.

Single vesicle observations of the cardiolipin-cytochrome C interaction: induction of membrane morphology changes.

Project description:We present a novel platform for investigating the composition-specific interactions of proteins (or other biologically relevant molecules) with model membranes composed of compositionally distinct domains. We focus on the interaction between a mitochondrial-specific lipid, cardiolipin (CL), and a peripheral membrane protein, cytochrome c (cyt c). We engineer vesicles with compositions such that they phase separate into coexisting liquid phases and the lipid of interest, CL, preferentially localizes into one of the domains (the liquid disordered (L(d)) phase). The presence of CL-rich and CL-depleted domains within the same vesicle provides a built-in control experiment to simultaneously observe the behavior of two membrane compositions under identical conditions. We find that cyt c binds strongly to CL-rich domains and observe fascinating morphological transitions within these regions of membrane. CL-rich domains start to form small buds and eventually fold up into a collapsed state. We also observe that cyt c can induce a strong attraction between the CL-rich domains of adjacent vesicles as demonstrated by the development of large osculating regions between these domains. Qualitatively similar behavior is observed when other polycationic proteins or polymers of a similar size and net charge are used instead of cyt c. We argue that these striking phenomena can be simply understood by consideration of colloidal forces between the protein and the membrane. We discuss the possible biological implications of our observations in relation to the structure and function of mitochondria.

Conformational properties of cardiolipin-bound cytochrome c.

Project description:Interactions of cytochrome c (cyt c) with cardiolipin (CL) are important for both electron transfer and apoptotic functions of this protein. A sluggish peroxidase in its native state, when bound to CL, cyt c catalyzes CL peroxidation, which contributes to the protein apoptotic release. The heterogeneous CL-bound cyt c ensemble is difficult to characterize with traditional structural methods and ensemble-averaged probes. We have employed time-resolved FRET measurements to evaluate structural properties of the CL-bound protein in four dansyl (Dns)-labeled variants of horse heart cyt c. The Dns decay curves and extracted Dns-to-heme distance distributions P(r) reveal a conformational diversity of the CL-bound cyt c ensemble with distinct populations of the polypeptide structures that vary in their degree of protein unfolding. A fraction of the ensemble is substantially unfolded, with Dns-to-heme distances resembling those in the guanidine hydrochloride-denatured state. These largely open cyt c structures likely dominate the peroxidase activity of the CL-bound cyt c ensemble. Site variations in P(r) distributions uncover structural features of the CL-bound cyt c, rationalize previous findings, and implicate the prime role of electrostatic interactions, particularly with the protein C terminus, in the CL-induced unfolding.

The interaction between the Nipah virus nucleocapsid protein and phosphoprotein regulates virus replication.

Project description:Continued outbreaks of Henipaviruses in South Asia and Australia cause severe and lethal disease in both humans and animals. Together, with evidence of human to human transmission for Nipah virus and the lack of preventative or therapeutic measures, its threat to cause a widespread outbreak and its potential for weaponization has increased. In this study we demonstrate how overexpression of the Nipah virus nucleocapsid protein regulates viral polymerase activity and viral RNA production. By overexpressing the Nipah virus nucleocapsid protein in trans viral transcription was inhibited; however, an increase in viral genome synthesis was observed. Together, the bias of polymerase activity towards genome production led to the severe inhibition of viral progeny. We identified two domains within the nucleocapsid protein, which were each independently capable of binding the viral phosphoprotein. Evident by our data, we propose that the nucleocapsid protein's ability to interact with the phosphoprotein of the polymerase complex causes a change in polymerase activity and subsequent deficiency in viral replication. This study not only provides insights into the dynamics of Henipavirus RNA synthesis and replication, but also provides insight into potential targets for antiviral drug development.

RNA Modulates the Interaction between Influenza A Virus NS1 and Human PABP1.

Project description:Nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) is a multifunctional protein involved in preventing host-interferon response in influenza A virus (IAV). Previous studies have indicated that NS1 also stimulates the translation of viral mRNA by binding to conserved sequences in the viral 5'-UTR. Additionally, NS1 binds to poly(A) binding protein 1 (PABP1) and eukaryotic initiation factor 4G (eIF4G). The interaction of NS1 with the viral 5'-UTR, PABP1, and eIF4G has been suggested to specifically enhance the translation of viral mRNAs. In contrast, we report that NS1 does not directly bind to sequences in the viral 5'-UTR, indicating that NS1 is not responsible for providing the specificity to stimulate viral mRNA translation. We also monitored the interaction of NS1 with PABP1 using a new, quantitative FRET assay. Our data show that NS1 binds to PABP1 with high affinity; however, the binding of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to NS1 weakens the binding of NS1 to PABP1. Correspondingly, the binding of PABP1 to NS1 weakens the binding of NS1 to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). In contrast, the affinity of PABP1 for binding to poly(A) RNA is not significantly changed by NS1. We propose that the modulation of NS1·PABP1 interaction by dsRNA may be important for the viral cycle.

A functional sequence-specific interaction between influenza A virus genomic RNA segments.

Project description:Influenza A viruses cause annual influenza epidemics and occasional severe pandemics. Their genome is segmented into eight fragments, which offers evolutionary advantages but complicates genomic packaging. The existence of a selective packaging mechanism, in which one copy of each viral RNA is specifically packaged into each virion, is suspected, but its molecular details remain unknown. Here, we identified a direct intermolecular interaction between two viral genomic RNA segments of an avian influenza A virus using in vitro experiments. Using silent trans-complementary mutants, we then demonstrated that this interaction takes place in infected cells and is required for optimal viral replication. Disruption of this interaction did not affect the HA titer of the mutant viruses, suggesting that the same amount of viral particles was produced. However, it nonspecifically decreased the amount of viral RNA in the viral particles, resulting in an eightfold increase in empty viral particles. Competition experiments indicated that this interaction favored copackaging of the interacting viral RNA segments. The interaction we identified involves regions not previously designated as packaging signals and is not widely conserved among influenza A virus. Combined with previous studies, our experiments indicate that viral RNA segments can promote the selective packaging of the influenza A virus genome by forming a sequence-dependent supramolecular network of interactions. The lack of conservation of these interactions might limit genetic reassortment between divergent influenza A viruses.

Structural details of an interaction between cardiolipin and an integral membrane protein.

Project description:Anionic lipids play a variety of key roles in biomembrane function, including providing the immediate environment for the integral membrane proteins that catalyze photosynthetic and respiratory energy transduction. Little is known about the molecular basis of these lipid-protein interactions. In this study, x-ray crystallography has been used to examine the structural details of an interaction between cardiolipin and the photoreaction center, a key light-driven electron transfer protein complex found in the cytoplasmic membrane of photosynthetic bacteria. X-ray diffraction data collected over the resolution range 30.0-2.1 A show that binding of the lipid to the protein involves a combination of ionic interactions between the protein and the lipid headgroup and van der Waals interactions between the lipid tails and the electroneutral intramembrane surface of the protein. In the headgroup region, ionic interactions involve polar groups of a number of residues, the protein backbone, and bound water molecules. The lipid tails sit along largely hydrophobic grooves in the irregular surface of the protein. In addition to providing new information on the immediate lipid environment of a key integral membrane protein, this study provides the first, to our knowledge, high-resolution x-ray crystal structure for cardiolipin. The possible significance of this interaction between an integral membrane protein and cardiolipin is considered.

Caspase cleavage of Influenza A virus M2 disrupts M2-LC3 interaction and regulates virion production

Project description:Influenza A virus (IAV) Matrix 2 protein (M2) is an ion channel, required for efficient viral entry and egress. M2 interacts with the small ubiquitin-like LC3 protein through a cytoplasmic C-terminal LC3 interacting region (LIR). Here, we report that M2 is cleaved by caspases, abolishing the M2-LC3 interaction. A crystal structure of the M2 LIR in complex with LC3 indicates the caspase cleavage tetrapeptide motif (82SAVD85) is an unstructured linear motif that does not overlap with the LIR. IAV mutant expressing a permanently truncated M2, mimicking caspase cleavage, exhibit defects in M2 plasma membrane transport, viral filament formation and virion production. Our results reveal a dynamic regulation of the M2-LC3 interaction by caspases. This highlights the role of host proteases in regulating IAV exit, relating virion production with host cell state.

pH-Induced Switch between Different Modes of Cytochrome <i>c</i> Binding to Cardiolipin-Containing Liposomes.

Project description:Fluorescence, visible circular dichroism (CD), absorption, and resonance Raman spectroscopy techniques were combined to explore structural changes of ferricytochrome c upon its binding to cardiolipin-containing liposomes (20% 1,1',1,2'-tetraoleyolcardiolipin and 1,2-deoleyol-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) at acidic pH (6.5). According to the earlier work of Kawai [J. Biol. Chem.2005, 280, 34709-347171],cytochrome c binding at this pH is governed by interactions between the phosphate head groups of cardiolipin and amino acid side chains of the so-called L-site, which contains the charged residues K22, K25, K27, and potentially H26 and H33. We found that L-site binding causes a conformational transition that involves a change of the protein's ligation and spin state. In this paper, we report spectroscopic responses to an increasing number of cardiolipin-containing liposomes at pH 6.5 in the absence and presence of NaCl. The latter was found to mostly inhibit protein binding already with 50 mM concentration. The inhibition effect can be quantitatively reproduced by applying the electrostatic theory of Heimburg [Biophys. J.1995, 68, 536-546]. A comparison with corresponding spectroscopic response data obtained at pH 7.4 reveals major differences in that the latter indicates hydrophobic binding, followed by an electrostatically driven conformational change. Visible CD data suggest that structural changes in the heme pocket of liposome-bound ferricytochrome c resemble to some extent those in the denatured protein in urea at neutral and acidic pH. The measured noncoincidence between absorption and CD Soret band of cytochrome c in the presence of a large access of cardiolipin is caused by the electric field at the membrane surface. The very fact that its contribution to the internal electric field in the heme pocket is detectable by spectroscopic means suggests some penetration of the protein into membrane surface.
