Structural dynamics of Na+ and Ca 1 2+ interactions with full-size mammalian NCX

ABSTRACT: NCX proteins (Na+/Ca2+ exchangers) are allosterically regulated by cytosolic Ca2+ and Na+ to feedback ion signaling in diverse cell types. The recently discovered cryo-EM structure of the cardiac NCX1.1 provided breakthrough information on the mammalian NCX structure, although the structure-dynamic basis of allosteric regulation remains unresolved. Here, we analyzed the apo, Ca2+-, and Na+ -bound species of the brain NCX1.4 variant using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) in conjunction with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We show that Ca2+ binding to the regulatory CBD domains dramatically rigidifies the intracellular regulatory loop (5L6) and promotes its interaction with the membrane. Either Na+ or Ca2+ stabilizes the intracellular portions of TM3, TM4, TM9, TM10, and their connecting loops (3L4 and 9L10), exposing a putative cation binding site for allosteric regulation. Either Ca2+ or Na+ rigidifies TMH2, encompassing the palmitoylation domain, and the neighboring two-helix TM1/TM6 bundle(governing the alternating access transitions) to control the ion transport rates. Collectively, our results uncovered important details of allosteric regulation in mammalian NCX, while highlighting structure-dynamic features of functional regions not resolved in the cryo-EM structure. The present outcomes provide useful clues toward resolving the structure-dynamic determinants of regulatory diversity in NCX isoform/splice variants.

Revealing the dynamic allosteric changes required for formation of the cysteine synthase complex by hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry

Project description:CysE and CysK, the last two enzymes of the cysteine biosynthetic pathway, engage in a bienzyme complex, cysteine synthase (CS), with yet incompletely characterized three-dimensional structure and regulatory function. Being absent in mammals, the two enzymes and their complex are attractive targets for antibacterial drugs. We have used hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to unveil how complex formation affects the conformational dynamics of CysK and CysE. Our results support a model where CysE is present in solution as a dimer of trimers, and each trimer can bind one CysK homodimer. When CysK binds to one CysE monomer, intra-trimer allosteric communication ensures conformational and dynamic symmetry within the trimer. Furthermore, a longer-range allosteric signal propagates through CysE to induce stabilization of the interface between the two CysE trimers, preparing the second trimer for binding the second CysK with a non-random orientation. These results provide new molecular insights into the allosteric formation of the CS complex and could help guide antibacterial drug design.

Engineering and exploiting synthetic allostery of NanoLuc luciferase

Project description:The ability to endow constitutively active proteins with synthetic allostery is a central objective of Synthetic Biology, mostly focused on the creation of protein biosensors – artificial sensing proteins with easily quantifiable outputs. Here we hypothesize that circular permutation of proteins increases the probability of functional coupling of new N- and C- terminal sequences with the active center of the protein through increased local structural disorder. We test this by constructing a synthetically allosteric version of circular permutated NanoLuc luciferase, activated through ligand-induced intramolecular non-covalent cyclisation. The developed biosensors cover a range of emission wavelengths and display sensitivity as low as 50 pM and dynamic range as high as 16-fold and could quantify their cognate ligand in human fluids such as saliva, serum and lysed blood. We apply hydrogen exchange kinetic mass spectrometry to analyze time resolved structural changes in the developed biosensors and observed ligand-mediated folding of newly created termini. While a large study is required for determining how frequent synthetic allostery emerges following circular permutation and what types of protein folds are susceptible to it, this study provides motivation and justification for such efforts.

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

Project description: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.

Assessing the dynamics and macromolecular interactions of the intrinsically disordered protein YY1

Project description:YY1 is a ubiquitously expressed, intrinsically disordered transcription factor involved in neural development. The oligomeric state of YY1 varies depending on the environment. These changes may alter its DNA binding ability and hence its transcriptional activity. In addition to its oligomeric state, the interaction of YY1 with proteins such as FOXP2 can impact its role in transcription. The aim of this work is to study the structure and dynamics of YY1 binding to DNA and to determine the influence of oligomerisation and associations with FOXP2 on its DNA binding mechanism. Size exclusion chromatography, fluorescence anisotropy and electrophoretic mobility shift assays were used to study YY1 oligomerisation and interaction with FOXP2. To better understand potential structural changes to YY1 upon DNA binding, hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry was used. The results indicate that YY1 consists of specific structured regions, while most of the sequence remains disordered. Furthermore, the oligomeric nature of the protein is dependent on ionic strength. DNA affects oligomerisation and the protein undergoes changes in structure and dynamics upon DNA binding. YY1 and FOXP2 were found to interact with each other both in isolation and in the presence of YY1-specific DNA. The heterogeneous, dynamic multimerisation of YY1 identified in this work is, therefore, likely to be important for its ability to make heterologous associations with other proteins such as FOXP2. The interactions that YY1 forms with itself, FOXP2 and DNA form part of an intricate mechanism of transcriptional regulation by YY1, which is vital for appropriate neural development.

Substrate-induced conformational dynamics of the dopamine transporter

Project description:The dopamine transporter is a member of the neurotransmitter:sodium symporters (NSSs), which are responsible for termination of neurotransmission through Na+-driven reuptake of neurotransmitter from the extracellular space. Experimental evidence elucidating the coordinated conformational rearrangements related to the transport mechanism has so far been limited. Here we probe the global Na+- and dopamine-induced conformational dynamics of the wild-type Drosophila melanogaster dopamine transporter using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry. We identify Na+- and dopamine-induced changes in specific regions of the transporter, suggesting their involvement in protein conformational transitions. Furthermore, we detect ligand-dependent slow cooperative fluctuations of helical stretches in several domains of the transporter, which could be a molecular mechanism that assists in the transporter function. Our results provide a framework for understanding the molecular mechanism underlying the function of NSSs by revealing detailed insight into the state-dependent conformational changes associated with the alternating access model of the dopamine transporter.

Conformational restriction shapes the inhibition of a multidrug efflux adaptor protein

Project description:Membrane efflux pumps play a major role in bacterial multidrug resistance. The tripartite multidrug efflux pump system from Escherichia coli, AcrAB-TolC, is a target for inhibition to lessen resistance development and restore antibiotic efficacy, with homologs in other ESKAPE pathogens. Here, we rationalize a mechanism of inhibition against the periplasmic adaptor protein, AcrA, using a combination of hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, cellular efflux assays, and molecular dynamics simulations. We define the structural dynamics of AcrA and find that an inhibitor can inflict long-range stabilisation across all four of its domains, whereas an interacting efflux substrate has minimal effect. Our results support a model where an inhibitor forms a molecular wedge within a cleft between the lipoyl and αβ domains of AcrA, diminishing its conformational transmission of drug-evoked signals from AcrB to TolC. This work provides molecular insights into multidrug adaptor protein function which could be valuable for developing antimicrobial therapeutics.

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.
