Molecular architecture of the DNA-binding sites of the P-loop ATPases MipZ and ParA from Caulobacter crescentus

ABSTRACT: The spatiotemporal regulation of chromosome segregation and cell division in Caulobacter crescentus is mediated by two related P-loop ATPases, ParA and MipZ. Both of these proteins share the ability to form dynamic concentration gradients that control the positioning of regulatory targets within the cell. Their proper localization relies on their nucleotide-dependent cycling between a monomeric and a dimeric state, driven by interaction with the chromosome partitioning protein ParB, and on the ability of the dimeric species to associate non-specifically with the nucleoid. In this study, we use a combination of genetic screening, biochemical analysis and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to identify the residues mediating the interaction of MipZ with DNA. Our results show that the DNA-binding activity of MipZ relies on a series of positively charged and hydrophobic residues lining both sides of the dimer interface. MipZ thus appears to associate with DNA in a sequence-independent manner through electrostatic interactions with the DNA phosphate backbone. In support of this hypothesis, chromatin immuno-precipitation analyses did not reveal any specific target sites in vivo. When extending our analysis to ParA, we found that the architectures of the MipZ and ParA DNA-binding sites are markedly different, although their relative positions on the dimer surface and their mode of DNA binding are conserved. Importantly, bioinformatic analysis suggests that the same principles apply to other members of the P-loop ATPase family. ParA-like ATPases thus share common mechanistic features, although their modes of action have diverged considerably during the course of evolution.

General and sequence-specific roles for DNA in glucocorticoid receptor DNA-binding stoichiometry

Project description:The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binds to DNA in at least three stoichiometric ratios to regulate gene expression. The dimeric binding of GR to a 15 base pair core sequence has been well studied, and is associated with activation of gene expression. Monomeric GR has been associated with repression. GR has also been shown to form tetramers on DNA in live cells. The role of DNA sequence in directing DNA-binding stoichiometry and subsequent gene regulation is not clear. We took an unbiased approach using SELEX-seq to calculate comprehensive monomeric- and dimeric-binding profiles for GR. The monomeric site is composed of a canonical half-site, but is distinguished from the dimer site by a downstream TTTg motif and the absence of a second half-site. To probe the mechanism of how this motif favors monomeric binding, we performed Spec-/Coop-seq. The TTTg increases monomeric affinity while decreasing cooperative dimeric binding. Crystal structures indicated that TTTg results in a narrowed minor groove bringing residues Y455 and K471 of GR into the proximity of DNA, increasing affinity. Interestingly, although monomeric binding is more often associated with repression of gene expression than dimeric binding, the trend is not significant. Consistent with live-cell imaging, a meta-analysis of GR:DNA structures reveals that, regardless of binding sequence, GR binds to DNA as a dimer of dimers using highly similar interfaces. This suggests that the functional stoichiometry of GR in the cell is tetrameric, and that sequence may modulate GR activity.

Investigating the monomer-dimer transition of PKD1 kinase domain with EDC crosslinking

Project description:The project aim was to generate experimental constraints for the in silico modeling of the dimeric structure of the PKD kinase domain. And identify conformational changes upon dimerization. For this we used the heterobifunctional zero length crosslinker EDC to identify salt bridges within the protein and between the molecules in the dimeric arrangement. We could observe a stabilization of the protein in particularly in the activation loop upon dimerization and successfully identified one abundant dimer specific crosslink that helped us to identify contact surfaces in the dimer interface.

Epigenetic landscapes in wild-type and dimer-mutant Notch regulated T-LL cells

Project description:NOTCH/RBPJ/MAML ternary transcriptional complex binds to regulatory element and drives gene expression. The complex can function as monomer and dimer. How dimeric complexes regulate gene expression in human cancer is not well studied. Here, we integrate genomic data sets and analyze Notch dimeric complexes-regulated transcriptome and cis-regulatory elements. A subset of coding and non-coding RNA is Notch dimeric complexes-associated. Dimeric complexes recognition sequence enriched in functional dynamic Notch sites and majority of dimer recognition sequence located in (super-)enhancers. Using CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing, we evaluated the function of one dimer-responsive element located in the promoter region of a noncoding RNA NDANR1 and 5' end 16kb away from HES5. Mutation of SPS in this element reduced expression of HES5 and NDANR1. This finding indicates that dimer-responsive elements can function as enhancer for HES5 and at the same time can function as promoter for noncoding RNA NDANR1. Our study reveals the pervasive role of Notch dimeric complexes in transcriptional regulation in human cancer genome.

Structural clusters of histone H3 and H4 residues regulate chronological lifespan in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [Other]

Project description:We have performed a comprehensive analysis of the involvement of histone H3 and H4 residues in the regulation of chronological lifespan in yeast. Residues where substitution resulted in the most pronounced lifespan extension are all on the exposed face of the nucleosome, with the exception of H3E50, which is present on the lateral surface, between two DNA gyres. Other residues that had a more modest effect on lifespan extension were concentrated at the extremities of the H3-H4 dimer, suggesting a role in stabilizing the dimer in its nucleosome frame. Residues implicated in a reduced lifespan were buried in the histone handshake motif, suggesting that these mutations destabilize the octamer structure. All residues exposed on the disk and that caused lifespan extension are known to interact with Sir3. We find that substitution of H4K16 and H4H18 cause Sir3 to redistribute from telomeres and silent mating loci to secondary positions, often enriched for Rap1 or Abf1 binding sites, whereas H3E50 does not. The redistributed Sir3 cause transcriptional repression at most of the new loci, including of genes where null mutants were previously shown to extend chronological lifespan. The transcriptomic profiles of H4K16 and H4H18 mutant strains are very similar, and compatible with a DNA replication stress response. This is distinct from the transcriptomic profile of H3E50, which matches strong induction of oxidative phosphorylation. We propose that different clusters of H3 and H4 residues are involved in either binding to non-histone proteins, or in destabilizing the association of the nucleosome DNA, or disrupting binding of a H3-H4 dimer in the nucleosome, or disturbing the structural stability of the octamer, each category impacting on chronological lifespan through a different path.

Distinct functions of dimeric and monomeric Alix in regulating F-actin assembly and loading of exosomal cargo

Project description:Alix is a ubiquitously expressed scaffold protein that participates in numerous cellular processes, relating to the remodeling/repair of membranes and the actin cytoskeleton. Alix exists in monomeric and dimeric/multimeric configurations, but how dimer formation occurs and what role the dimer has in Alix-mediated processes are questions still largely elusive. Here, we reveal a mechanism for Alix homodimerization mediated by disulfide bonds under physiological conditions and demonstrate that Alix dimer is enriched in exosome and F-actin cytoskeleton subcellular fractions. Proteomic analysis of exosomes derived from Alix−/− primary cells underlined Alix indispensable role in loading syntenin into exosomes, thereby regulating the cellular levels of this protein. Using a set of Alix deletion mutants, we could define the function of the Bro1 domain, which is solely required for Alix’ exosomal localization, and that of the V domain, which is needed for recruiting syntenin into exosomes. We reveal an essential role for Cys814 within the disordered proline rich domain (PRD) for Alix dimerization. By mutating this residue, Alix remains exclusively monomeric and, in this configuration, is more effective in loading syntenin into exosomes. In contrast, loss of dimerization affects Alix ability to associate with F-actin, thereby compromising Alix-mediated cytoskeleton remodeling. We propose that by 3 shifting the ratio between its dimeric and monomeric forms, Alix selectively executes two of its main functions, exosomal cargo loading or cytoskeleton remodeling.
