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

ABSTRACT: 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.

Thrombin activation of the factor XI dimer is a multi-staged process for each subunit

Project description:Factor XI (FXI) is a protein in the intrinsic coagulation pathway that can be activated by two enzymes. In hemostasis, FXI is activated by thrombin, while FXIIa-mediated activation of FXI is thought to be prothrombotic. The interactions of these enzymes with FXI are poorly understood due to their transient nature which is difficult to study. Here, we applied crosslinking mass spectrometry (XLMS) and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the binding interface between thrombin and FXI as well as the dynamics underlying the activation of FXI. From the experimental data we were able to construct the FXI homodimer as well as locate the binding interface of thrombin on the light chain of FXI. As this placed thrombin distal from both the activation site as well as the apple 1 domain that thrombin is known to interact with, we applied molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the chain of events after binding. From the resulting model, we hypothesize that the activation of FXI is a multi-staged procedure where thrombin first binds to Pro520 on FXI, after which it migrates towards the activation site by first engaging the apple 1 domain and finally Arg378. We validated the results with known mutation sites on FXI and additionally found that Pro520 is conserved in PK and enables binding of thrombin to this enzyme even though it cannot be activated by it. This interaction points a way for future interventions for bleeding and thrombosis.

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.

Conventional cell fixation improves performance of in situ crosslinking mass spectrometry while preserving cellular ultrastructure

Project description:We developed an approach to in situ XL-MS which utilizes pre-stabilization with formaldehyde prior to crosslinker introduction. Applications of this method can boost crosslinker signal and allows for membrane-impermeable reagents to be used for studying protein-interaction landscapes in intact human cells.

PhoX - An IMAC-enrichable Crosslinking Reagent

Project description:Chemical crosslinking mass spectrometry is rapidly emerging as a prominent technique to study protein structures. Structural information is obtained by covalently connecting peptides in close proximity by small reagents and identifying the resulting peptide pairs by mass spectrometry. However, sub-stoichiometric reaction efficiencies render routine detection of crosslinked peptides problematic. Here we present a new tri-functional crosslinking reagent, termed PhoX, which is decorated with a stable phosphonic acid handle. This makes the crosslinked peptides amenable to the well-established IMAC enrichment. The handle allows for 300x enrichment efficiency and 97% specificity, dramatically reducing measurement time and improving data quality. We exemplify the approach on various model proteins and protein complexes, e.g. resulting in a structural model of LRP1/RAP complex. PhoX is also applicable to whole cell lysates. When focusing the database search on ribosomal proteins, our first attempt resulted in 355 crosslinks, out-performing current efforts in less measurement time.

Integrative Threading of the DNA-PKcs Disordered Region with Crosslinking Restraints

Project description:Integrative structure modelling was applied to understand how auto-phosphorylation of the ABCDE cluster in DNA-PKcs can occur. We used crosslinking restraints to assign sequence to structurally unassigned helices in DNA-PKcs s in the largely disordered region containing the ABCDE cluster. Our final model positions the ABCDE cluster at the end of the second helices, suggesting that phosphorylation occurs through trans-auto-phosphorylation, or through a large conformational change in the disordered region for cis-auto-phosphorylation.

XL-MS of 5S RNP preribosomal complexes

Project description:The 5S RNP is assembled from its three components (5S rRNA, Rpl5/uL18, and Rpl11/uL5) before being incorporated into the pre-60S subunit. However, when ribosome synthesis is disturbed, a free 5S RNP can enter the MDM2–p53 pathway to regulate cell cycle and apoptotic signaling. Here we reconstitute and determine the cryo-EM structure of the conserved hexameric 5S RNP with fungal or human factors. This reveals how the nascent 5S rRNA associates with the initial nuclear import complex Syo1–uL18–uL5, and upon further recruitment of two nucleolar factors Rpf2–Rrs1 develops into the 5S RNP precursor that can assemble into the pre-ribosome. In addition, we elucidate the structure of another 5S RNP intermediate, carrying the human ubiquitin ligase Mdm2, which unraveled how this enzyme can be sequestered from its target substrate p53. Our data provide molecular insight into how the 5S RNP can mediate between ribosome biogenesis and cell proliferation.

capsPASEF – Collisional Cross Section Assisted Precursor Selection Applied to Cross-linking Mass Spectrometry

Project description:Ion mobility separates molecules in the gas-phase on their physico-chemical properties, providing information about their size as collisional cross-sections. The timsTOF Pro combines trapped ion mobility with a quadrupole, HCD cell and a time-of-flight mass spectrometer, to interrogate ions at high speeds with on-the-fly fragmentation. Ion mobility is perfectly suited for cross-linking mass spectrometry, which aims to uncover spatial restraints for proteins. The used cross-linking reagents covalently link amino acids in close proximity, resulting in peptide pairs after proteolytic digestion. This technique however suffers in terms of the low abundance of cross-linked peptides, which is partially resolved with enrichable cross-linking reagents. This class of reagents enables selective enrichment of cross-linking reagent modified peptides, resulting in selection of the cross-linked peptide pairs and peptides connected to a partially hydrolyzed reagent – termed mono-links. Even though mono-links carry limited structural information, for experiments aiming to uncover protein interactions in an unbiased manner they are unwanted byproducts. Gas-phase separation by IM has the potential to separate the two products and, indeed, we find separation between mono-links and cross-linked peptide pairs for PhoX cross-linked proteins. Moreover, an easy-to-interpret division at a CCS of 500 Å and a mono-isotopic mass of 2 kDa is present, which can be used for precursor selection. From our experiments on low complexity protein systems, sequencing of 50 - 70% of the mono-links is prevented, allowing the mass spectrometer the focus on sequencing the relevant cross-links. Application to a highly complex lysate focusing provides a 10-50 % increase in detected cross-links.

Thriving in the heat – Lysine acetylation stabilizes the quaternary structure of a Mega-Dalton hyperthermoactive PEP-synthase

Project description:Over time structural adaptations enabled proteins and enzymes to have sufficient stability and flexibility to perform the basic functions of life under various environmental conditions. The catalytic cores of key metabolic enzymes of hyperthermophilic archaea work at a temperature range of 80-120 °C, similar to the conditions wher the earliest life forms may have thrived. Here we characterize a key enzyme of the central carbon metabolism of Pyrococcus furious, through an integrative approach combining structural mass spectrometry, cryo-electron microscopy, mass photometry and molecular modelling with molecular dynamics simulations. From our investigation, we unveil the structural organization of phosphoenolpyruvate synthase (PPSA). Its 24-meric assembly - weighing over 2 MDa - harbors flexible distal domains, whose proper functioning and coordination depends on widespread chemical acetylation of lysine residues. This non-enzymatic post-translational modification, along with other types of lysine modifications, also occurs on most other major protein complexes of P. furiosus. These modifications likely originated in the chemically favorable primordial conditions and gradually became highly specialized and enzyme-driven in more distantly related mesophiles and Eukaryotes.
