Structural mechanisms of autoinhibition and substrate recognition by the ubiquitin ligase HACE1

ABSTRACT: Ubiquitin ligases (E3s) are pivotal specificity determinants in the ubiquitin system by selecting substrates and decorating them with distinct ubiquitin signals. Structure determination of the underlying, specific E3-substrate complexes, however, has proven challenging due to their transient nature. In particular, it is incompletely understood how members of the catalytic cysteine-driven class of HECT-type ligases position substrate proteins for modification. Here we report a cryo-EM structure of the full-length human HECT-type ligase HACE1, along with solution-based conformational analyses by small-angle X-ray scattering and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry. Structure-based functional analyses in vitro and in cells reveal that the activity of HACE1 is stringently regulated by dimerization-induced autoinhibition. The inhibition occurs at the first step of the catalytic cycle and is thus substrate-independent. We employ mechanism-based chemical crosslinking to reconstitute a complex of activated, monomeric HACE1 with its major substrate, RAC1, visualize its structure by cryo-EM, and validate the binding mode by solution-based analyses. Our findings explain how HACE1 achieves selectivity in ubiquitinating the active, GTP-loaded state of RAC1 and establish a framework for interpreting mutational alterations of the HACE1-RAC1 interplay in disease. More broadly, this work illuminates central unexplored aspects in the architecture, conformational dynamics, regulation, and specificity of full-length HECT-type ligases.

Unravelling the mechanism of neurotensin recognition by neurotensin receptor 1

Project description:The conformational ensembles of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) include inactive and active states. Spectroscopy techniques, including NMR, show that agonists, antagonists and other ligands shift the ensemble toward specific states depending on the pharmacological efficacy of the ligand. How receptors recognize ligands and the kinetic mechanism underlying this population shift is poorly understood. Here, we investigate the kinetic mechanism of neurotensin recognition by neurotensin receptor 1 (NTS1) using 19F-NMR, hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry and stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy. Our results indicate slow-exchanging conformational heterogeneity on the extracellular surface of ligand-bound NTS1. Numerical analysis of the kinetic data of neurotensin binding to NTS1 shows that ligand recognition follows an induced fit mechanism, in which conformational changes occur after neurotensin binding. This approach is applicable to other GPCRs to provide insight into the kinetic regulation of ligand recognition by GPCRs.

Effects of ATP binding on the conformational flexibility of proNGF

Project description:Nerve growth factor (NGF) is involved in the maintenance and growth of specific neuronal populations whereas its precursor, proNGF, shows opposite properties, like being involved in apoptosis. NGF/proNGF imbalance is linked to neurodegeneration. Here, we show that ATP binds to proNGF inducing an overall proNGF shape change, throughout a local conformational rearrangement of the flexible pro-peptide domain. This suggests a functional role for ATP in the modulation of proNGF/NGF physiological homeostasis.

Structural dynamics in the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein: HDX-MS analysis of the spike of the original Wuhan isolate, G614 spike mutant, and the isolated ancestral RBD - in apo state and in complex with the ACE2 receptor

Project description:The spike glycoprotein of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mediates binding to the ACE2 receptor and subsequent membrane fusion. It exists in a range of conformations, including a closed state unable to bind the ACE2 receptor, and an open state that does so but displays more exposed antigenic surface. Spikes of variants of concern (VOCs) acquired amino acid changes linked to different opening probabilities, increased SARS-CoV-2 virulence and immune evasion. Here, using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), we analyzed the spike of the original Wuhan isolate, G614 mutant, spike of alpha, beta, delta and omicron VOCs and the isolated ancestral receptor binding domain (RBD) - in apo state and in complex with the ACE2 receptor. We identified changes in spike dynamics that we associated with the transition from closed to open conformation, to ACE2 binding, and to specific mutations in VOCs. We show that the RBD-associated subdomain plays a role in spike opening, whereas the NTD acts as a hotspot of conformational divergence of VOC spikes driving immune evasion. Alpha, beta and delta spikes assume predominantly open conformations and a strong ACE2 binding increases the dynamics of their core helices, priming spikes for fusion. Conversely, substitutions in omicron spike lead to predominantly binding-incompetent closed conformations, presumably enabling it to escape antibodies. At the same time, its core helices show characteristics of being pre-primed for fusion even in the absence of ACE2. These data inform on SARS-CoV-2 evolution and omicron variant emergence.

The dopamine transporter antiports potassium to increase the uptake of dopamine

Project description:The dopamine transporter facilitates dopamine reuptake from the extracellular space to terminate neurotransmission. The transporter belongs to the neurotransmitter:sodium symporter family, which includes transporters for serotonin, norepinephrine, and GABA that utilize the Na+ gradient to drive the uptake of substrate. Decades ago, it was shown that the serotonin transporter also antiports K+, but investigations of K+-coupled transport in other neurotransmitter:sodium symporters have been inconclusive. Here, we show that ligand binding to the drosophila- and human dopamine transporters are inhibited by K+, and the conformational dynamics of the drosophila dopamine transporter in K+ are divergent from the apo- and Na+-states. Furthermore, we found that K+ increased dopamine uptake by the drosophila dopamine transporter in liposomes, and visualized Na+ and K+ fluxes in single proteoliposomes using fluorescent ion indicators. Our results expand on the fundamentals of dopamine transport and prompt a reevaluation of the impact of K+ on other transporters in this pharmacologically important family.

The Conformational Stability of Pro-apoptotic BAX is Dictated by Discrete Residues of the Protein Core

Project description:BAX is a pro-apoptotic member of the BCL-2 family, which regulates the balance between cellular life and death. During homeostasis, BAX predominantly resides in the cytosol as a latent monomer but, in response to stress, transforms into an oligomeric protein that permeabilizes the mitochondria, leading to cell death. Because renegade BAX activation poses a grave risk to the cell, the architecture of BAX must ensure monomeric stability yet simultaneously enable conformational change upon stress signaling. The specific structural features that afford both stability and dynamic flexibility remain ill-defined and represent a critical control point of BAX regulation. Here, we identified a nexus of interactions involving four discrete residues of the BAX core α5 helix that are individually essential to maintaining the structure and latency of monomeric BAX and are collectively required for dimeric assembly. We compared the HDX MS profile of full-length recombinant wild-type BAX in solution with that of the BAX L113A, F114A, Y115A, and F116A single point mutants. In each case, we observed striking, regiospecific consequences of replacing the bulky hydrophobic residue with alanine. We also compared HDX in a construct of α2-α5 for the wt protein as well as mutants. The dual yet distinct roles of these residues reveals the intricacy of BAX conformational regulation and opportunities for therapeutic modulation.
