Structure of Anabaena flos-aquae gas vesicles revealed by cryo-ET

ABSTRACT: Gas Vesicles (GVs) are gas-filled protein nanostructures employed by several species of bacteria and archaea as flotation devices to enable access to optimal light and nutrients. The unique physical properties of GVs have led to their use as genetically-encodable contrast agents for ultrasound and MRI. Currently, however, the structure and assembly mechanism of GVs remain unknown. Here we employ cryo-electron tomography to reveal how the GV shell is formed by a helical filament of highly-conserved GvpA subunits. This filament changes polarity at the center of the GV cylinder, a site that may act as an elongation center. High-resolution subtomogram averaging reveals a corrugated pattern of the shell arising from polymerization of GvpA into a β-sheet. The accessory protein GvpC forms a helical cage around the GvpA shell, providing reinforcement. Together, our results help explain the remarkable mechanical properties of GVs and their ability to adopt different diameters and shapes.

Orphan quality control shapes network dynamics and gene expression

Project description:All eukaryotes require intricate protein networks to translate developmental signals into accurate cell fate decisions. Mutations that disturb interactions between network components often result in disease, but how composition and dynamics of complex networks are established remains poorly understood. Here, we identify the E3 ligase UBR5 as a signaling hub that helps degrade unpaired subunits of multiple transcriptional regulators that act within a network centered on the c-MYC oncoprotein. Biochemical and structural analyses show that UBR5 binds motifs that only become available upon complex dissociation. By rapidly turning over orphan transcription factor subunits, UBR5 establishes dynamic interactions between transcriptional regulators that allow cells to effectively execute gene expression, while remaining receptive to environmental signals. We conclude that orphan quality control plays an essential role in establishing dynamic protein networks, which may explain the conserved need for protein degradation during transcription and offers unique opportunities to modulate gene expression in disease.

Employing non-targeted interactomics approach and subcellular fractionation to increase our understanding of the ghost proteome

Project description:Eukaryotic mRNA has long been considered monocistronic, but nowadays, alternative proteins (AltProts) challenge this tenet. The alternative or ghost proteome has largely been neglected and the involvement of AltProts in biological processes. Here, we used subcellular fractionation to increase the information about AltProts and facilitate the detection of protein-protein interactions by the identification of crosslinked peptides. In total, 112 unique AltProts were identified, and we were able to identify 220 crosslinks without peptide enrichment. Among these, 16 crosslinks between AltProts and Referenced Proteins (RefProts) were identified. We further focused on specific examples such as the interaction between IP_2292176 (AltFAM227B) and HLA-B, in which this protein could be a potential new immunopeptide, and the interactions between HIST1H4F and several AltProts which can play a role in mRNA transcription. Thanks to the study of the interactome and the localization of AltProts, we can reveal more of the importance of the ghost proteome.

A synthetic crosslinked peptide library for benchmarking crosslinking mass spectrometry search engines

Project description:We have created a synthetic crosslinked peptide library to benchmark crosslinking mass spectrometry search engines. The unique benefit of the library is knowing which identified crosslinks are true and which are false. The data collected from mass spectrometry measurements of the peptide library were used to assess the most frequently used search algorithms. The datasets included will provide an important resource for the crosslinking community to evaluate and optimise search engines, results from which have far-reaching implications.

Analysis of conformational changes induced by binding of allosteric nanobodies to a bacterial LRRK2 homologue by CX-MS

Project description:As part of an in-depth characterization of nanobodies directed against the Chlorobium tepidum protein CtRoco, a bacterial LRRK2 homologue, chemical crosslinking combined with mass spectrometry (CX-MS) was performed. Two allosteric nanobodies binding to two different epitopes in the LRR and the Roc domain of CtRoco, respectively were analysed using the CID-cleavable crosslinker disuccinimidyl sulfoxide (DSSO).

Optimized parameter settings enhance proteome-wide formation of crosslinks on low-abundant proteins

Project description:Studies using crosslinking coupled to mass spectrometry on the proteome-wide level have spurred great interest as they facilitate structural probing of protein interactions in living cells or even organisms. Here we show, by using both an in-vitro mimic of a crowded cellular environment and eukaryotic cell lysates, that current proteome-wide crosslinking protocols have a bias for high abundant proteins. We demonstrate that this bias can be explained by kinetics that govern the formation of a crosslink between two polypeptides. We further show that optimized parameter settings, in particularly an excess of crosslinker, leadto a significant overall increase in the detection of lower abundant proteins within cellular lysates on a proteome-wide scale. Our study therefore explains the cause of a major limitation in current proteome-wide crosslinking studies and demonstrates a way forward how to address a larger part of the proteome by crosslinking
