Structure of the human signal peptidase complex

ABSTRACT: The ER-resident signal peptidase complex (SPC) is an essential membrane protein complex involved in the maturation of soluble and type-I transmembrane proteins destined to the secretory pathway. As a part of the ER translocon machinery, the SPC removes signal peptides (SPs) from the N-termini of many proteins such as hormones, antibodies, or secretory enzymes1,2. To accomplish this task, the SPC must process a large variety of SPs with an exquisite specificity. Although the determinants of SP recognition have been established empirically3, the molecular details of SP recognition and removal remain elusive. Here, we show that the human SPC exists in two functional paralogs with distinct proteolytic subunits. We determined the structures and posttranslational modifications of both paralogs using electron cryo-microscopy and structural proteomics. The respective proteolytic subunits SEC11A and SEC11C adopt a conserved signal peptidase (SPase) fold with their active sites facing a prominent transmembrane window, which is collectively formed by the transmembrane domains of all SPC subunits. Characteristic, charged regions on both sides of this window locally thin the membrane by approximately 40% compared to the exterior. The data suggest a mechanistic model for SPC specificity and the transfer of SPs from the Sec61 translocation channel to the SPC.

Nse5/6 inhibits the Smc5/6 ATPase and modulates DNA substrate binding

Project description:Eukaryotic cells employ three SMC complexes to control DNA folding and topology. The Smc5/6 complex plays roles in DNA repair and in preventing the accumulation of deleterious DNA junctions. To elucidate how specific features of Smc5/6 govern these functions, we reconstituted the yeast holo-complex. We found that the Nse5/6 sub-complex strongly inhibited the Smc5/6 ATPase by preventing productive ATP binding. This inhibition was relieved by plasmid DNA binding but not by short linear DNA, while opposing effects were observed without Nse5/6. We uncovered two binding sites for Nse5/6 on Smc5/6, based on an Nse5/6 crystal structure and cross-linking mass spectrometry data. One binding site is located at the Smc5/6 arms and one at the heads, the latter likely exerting inhibitory effects on ATP hydrolysis. Cysteine cross-linking demonstrated that the interaction with Nse5/6 anchored the ATPase domains in a non-productive state, which was destabilized by ATP and DNA. Under similar conditions, the Nse4/3/1 module detached from the ATPase. Altogether, we show how DNA substrate selection is modulated by direct inhibition of the Smc5/6 ATPase by Nse5/6.

How paired PSII-LHCII supercomplexes mediate the stacking of plant thylakoid membranes unveiled by integrative structural mass-spectrometry

Project description:Photosynthesis drives all life on Earth by exploiting solar energy to split water molecules through the Photosystem (PS) II enzyme. In plant thylakoid membranes, PSII binds a modular set of light harvesting complexes (LHCII) to form different types of PSII-LHCII supercomplex (PSII-LHCIIsc). Plant PSII-LHCIIsc are localized in the stacked region of the thylakoid membranes called grana, from which they can be isolated in paired conformations of type (C2S2M2)x2 and (C2S2M)x2, with the two supercomplexes facing each other at their stromal surface. Although the atomic structure of PSII-LHCIIsc has recently been solved, there is still a lack of knowledge on their mutual interactions when facing each other within apposing thylakoid membranes, as well as their structural dynamics in response to light variations. The major challenges in the structural determination of the stromal interactions are posed not only by the dynamic nature of these over 2-megadalton assemblies, but also by the heterogeneity of the LHCII subunits and the high flexibility of their stromally exposed N-terminal loops. Here, we explored the potential of combining top-down mass spectrometry (TD-MS) and crosslinking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) to peek through the keyhole of the tight stromal gap between two facing supercomplexes, unveiling so far hidden structural details. A first goal of experiments was to identify the distinct sequence variants and proteoforms involved in PSII-LHCIIsc structural dynamics in response to light modulation. To investigate their structural interactions, we treated paired PSII-LHCIIsc isolated from the three light conditions with two complementary chemical cross-linkers, targeting different residues and producing partially overlapping distance restraints. Most interactions detected “in-vitro” on the isolated paired supercomplexes were further supported by XL-MS results obtained “in-situ” on the corresponding thylakoid membranes.

Selennoprotein S interacts with the replication and transcription complex of the SARS-CoV-2 by binding nsp7

Project description:The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) replicates and evades detection by using endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes and their associated protein machineries. Among these hijacked human ER proteins is selenoprotein S, which usually takes part in the ER protein degradation pathway, NFkB signaling, and regulation of cytokines secretion. While the role of selenoprotein S in the viral life cycle is not yet known, it has been reported that it interacts with SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 7 (nsp7), a viral protein essential for the reproduction of SARS-CoV-2. However, it was unknown if selenoprotein S and nsp7 interact directly and whether the two proteins can still interact when nsp7 is bound to the virus' replication machinery. Using biochemical assays, we show that selenoprotein S indeed binds directly to nsp7. In addition, we find that selenoprotein S can also bind nsp7 when it is in a complex with the coronavirus's minimal replication complex: nsp7, nsp8 and the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Using cross-linking experiments, we mapped the interactions of selenoprotein S and nsp7 in the replication complex and show that the hydrophobic segment of selenoprotein S is essential for binding nsp7. This arrangement leaves an extended helix and the intrinsically disordered segment of selenoprotein S exposed and free to potentially recruit additional proteins to the replication complex. Thus, selenoprotein S is shown to directly interact with the viral replication complex, which places this human protein at the heart of viral replication.

XL-MS of RBBP6-bound CPSF complex

Project description:The 3’ ends of almost all eukaryotic mRNAs are generated in an essential two-step processing reaction, endonucleolytic cleavage of an extended precursor followed by the addition of a poly(A) tail. By reconstituting the reaction from overproduced and purified proteins, we provide a minimal list of fourteen polypeptides essential and two stimulatory for RNA processing. In a reaction depending on the polyadenylation signal AAUAAA, the reconstituted system cleaves pre-mRNA at a single preferred site corresponding to the one used in vivo. Among the proteins, Cleavage Factor I stimulates cleavage but is not essential, consistent with its prominent role in alternative polyadenylation. RBBP6 is required, structural data showing it to contact and presumably activate the endonuclease CPSF73 through its DWNN domain. The C-terminal domain of RNA polymerase II is dispensable. ATP, but not its hydrolysis, supports RNA cleavage by binding to the hClp1 subunit of cleavage factor II with submicromolar affinity.

Mimicked synthetic ribosomal protein complex for benchmarking cross-linking mass spectrometry workflows

Project description:The field of cross-linking mass spectrometry has matured to a frequently used tool for the investiga-tion of protein structures as well as interactome studies up to a system wide level. The growing com-munity generated a broad spectrum of applications, linker types, acquisition strategies and specialized data analysis tools, which makes it challenging, especially for newcomers, to decide for an appropriate analysis workflow. Therefore, we here present a large and flexible synthetic peptide library as reliable instrument to benchmark cross-linkers with different reactive sites as well as acquisition techniques and data analysis algorithms. Additionally, we provide a tool, IMP-X-FDR, that calculates the real FDR, compares results across search engine platforms and analyses crosslink properties in an auto-mated manner. The library was used with the reagents DSSO, DSBU, CDI, ADH, DHSO and azide-a-DSBSO and data were analysed using the algorithms MeroX, MS Annika, XlinkX, pLink and Max-Lynx. We thereby show that the correct algorithm and search setting choice is highly important to im-prove ID rate and FDR in combination with software and sample-complexity specific score cut-offs. When analysing DSSO data with MS Annika, we reach high identification rates of up to ~70 % of the theoretical maximum (i.e. 700 unique lysine-lysine cross-links) while maintaining a low real FDR of < 3 % at cross-link level and with extraordinary high reproducibility, representatively showing that our test system delivers valuable and statistically solid results.

Notch-Jagged signaling complex defined by an interaction mosaic

Project description:The Notch signaling system links cellular fate to that of its neighbors, driving proliferation, apoptosis, and cell differentiation in metazoan organisms, whereas dysfunction leads to debilitating developmental disorders and cancers. Here we probe the molecular architecture of mammalian Notch1 full ectodomain in complex with the canonical ligand Jagged1 using cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS). Our data reveals that three Jagged1 sites, C2-epidermal growth factor (EGF) 1, EGF10 and cysteine-rich domain (CRD), are in proximity to the Notch1 negative regulatory region (NRR) in the Notch1-Jagged1 full ectodomain complex. We verified direct interactions and identified additional interacting regions by quantitative-binding experiments. In addition, XL-MS and structural analysis reveal Notch1 and Jagged1 ectodomain intramolecular interactions and structural flexibility that support the formation of backfolded architectures. Together the data suggest a direct and intricate role for the different extracellular regions of Notch1 and Jagged1 in the activation and regulation of Notch1 signaling.

Denaturing mass photometry for rapid optimization of chemical protein-protein cross-linking reactions

Project description:Chemical cross-linking reactions (XL) are an important strategy for studying protein-protein interactions (PPIs), including low abundant sub-complexes, in structural biology. However, choosing XL reagents and conditions is laborious and mostly limited to analysis of protein assemblies that can be resolved using SDS-PAGE. To overcome these limitations, we develop here a denaturing mass photometry (dMP) method for fast, reliable and user-friendly optimization and monitoring of chemical XL reactions. The dMP is a robust 2-step protocol that ensures 95 % of irreversible denaturation within only 5 min. We show that dMP provides accurate mass identification across a broad mass range (30 kDa-5 MDa) along with direct label-free relative quantification of all coexisting XL species (sub-complexes and aggregates). We compare dMP with SDS-PAGE and observe that, unlike the benchmark, dMP is time-efficient (3 min/triplicate), requires significantly less material (20-100x) and affords single molecule sensitivity. To illustrate its utility for routine structural biology applications, we show that dMP affords screening of 20 XL conditions in 1 h, accurately identifying and quantifying all coexisting species. Taken together, we anticipate that dMP will have an impact on ability to structurally characterize more PPIs and macromolecular assemblies, expected final complexes but also sub-complexes that form en route.

Reverse-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) in Combination with Tip-Based Strong Cation Exchange (SCX-Tip) Fractionation, ReST, an Alternative Approach for Cross-linked Peptides analysis

Project description:Chemical cross-linking in combination with mass spectrometry (XL-MS) has emerged as a useful method for structural elucidation of proteins and protein complexes. Efficient enrichment procedures are necessary to analyze cross-linked products due to their relatively low abundance. Currently, strong cation exchange chromatography (SCX), size exclusion chromatography (SEC), and affinity tag-based enrichment are among the widely used enrichment strategies. Herein, we present a two-dimensional enrichment strategy combining basic RPLC (bRPLC) fractionation and tip-based SCX (SCX-Tip) enrichment, termed ReST method, for the characterization of cross-linked peptides. We revealed the unbiased separation effects of the bRPLC in the cross-linked peptide fractionation. We optimized the enrichment conditions of SCX-Tip for cross-linked peptides using well-designed cross-linked peptides. Taking advantage of the high resolution of bRPLC fractionation and the high enrichment efficiency of SCX-Tip, we were able to identify 43.6% more cross-links than the conventional SCX approach. The presented ReST approach is an effective fractionation method for XL-MS analysis, and could be beneficial for protoeme-scale protein-protein interaction studies. Moreover, more stringent data filtering was proposed in order to achieve the high confidence of cross-linked peptide identification.

Xlink Mapping and AnalySis (XMAS) - Crosslinking study of commercial human Fibrinogen

Project description:Here, we introduce XMAS, a bundle that allows users to load results from several XL-MS search engines directly into ChimeraX and map the information onto protein structures. Besides automatically locating distance constraints on protein structures, XMAS offers the possibility to work with replicate experiments and/or different crosslinkers, and filter this data based on how many replicates for which a given distance constraint was detected, thereby increasing the data quality. Additionally, we introduce the concept of self-links, which allows easy modeling of homo-dimeric interactions. Core functionality is extended by the implementation of seamless connections to the HADDOCK suite to streamline otherwise time-consuming tasks in structural modeling pipelines. We then demonstrate these key elements of the XMAS bundle by modeling crosslinking data obtained from human fibrin clots. This software is freely available from the ChimeraX toolshed, with an extensive user manual and example datasets.
