Structural dynamics of AAA + ATPase Drg1 and mechanism of benzo-diazaborine inhibition.

ABSTRACT: The type II AAA + ATPase Drg1 is a ribosome assembly factor, functioning to release Rlp24 from the pre-60S particle just exported from nucleus, and its activity in can be inhibited by a drug molecule diazaborine. However, molecular mechanisms of Drg1-mediated Rlp24 removal and diazaborine-mediated inhibition are not fully understood. Here, we report Drg1 structures in different nucleotide-binding and benzo-diazaborine treated states. Drg1 hexamers transits between two extreme conformations (planar or helical arrangement of protomers). By forming covalent adducts with ATP molecules in both ATPase domain, benzo-diazaborine locks Drg1 hexamers in a symmetric and non-productive conformation to inhibits both inter-protomer and inter-ring communication of Drg1 hexamers. We also obtained a substr
