Project description:Protein cross-linking has assumed an irreplaceable role in structural proteomics. Recently, significant efforts have been made to develop novel MS-cleavable reagents. These cross-linkers enhance the reliability of cross-link identification. Presently, only water-insoluble MS-cleavable cross-linkers are commercially available. However, the comprehensive analysis of the various chemical and structural motifs inherent in proteins depends on the targeting of different protein sites with varying degrees of hydrophilicity. We introduce a new MS-cleavable cross-linker called disulfodisuccinimidyl dibutyric urea (DSSBU), which we have developed in-house. DSSBU contains an N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide (sulfo-NHS) reactive group. It therefore serves as a water-soluble counterpart to the commercially available and widely used disuccinimidyl dibutyric urea (DSBU). To investigate the applicability of DSSBU, we compared the efficacy of four similar cross-linkers—bis[sulfosuccinimidyl] suberate (BS3), disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS), DSBU and DSSBU on bovine serum albumin. We also compared efficacy of DSBU and DSSBU on human hemoglobin. Our results demonstrate that the superior water solubility of DSSBU enables to avoid the usage of polar solvents such as DMSO but still maintaining the effectivity of MS-cleavable crosslinker such as DSBU.

Project description:Calmodulin serves as a regulator for various proteins, such as enzymes, kinases or phosphatases. It can also serve as Ca2+-dependent adaptor protein. Due to the previous evidence that retroviruses use host cell calmodulin for their proliferation, we focused on the description of functional and structural patterns of the interaction between Mason-Pfizer monkey virus matrix and human calmodulin. One of the methods used was protein cross-linking mass spectrometry.

Project description:TEAD transcription factors mediate gene expression regulation through interactions with their DNA response M-CAT motif. They are active mainly during growth and development and induce gene expression of proteins involved in cell proliferation, differentiation or apoptosis prevention. TEADs and many of their target proteins are known to be upregulated in several types of cancers. To study the interaction of DNA binding domain of TEAD1 with M-CAT motifs of different orientations originating from regulatory regions of human genes (CTGF, SRF, C-MYC and GLUT1), dissociation constant of each complex was determined using fluorescence anisotropy assay. Structural mass spectrometry techniques (H/D exchange and quantitative chemical cross-linking) and molecular docking were utilized for structural characterization of the binding interface. In-vitro results were correlated with situation in living cells studied by ChIP and Q-PCR.

Project description:FocA belongs to the widespread, evolutionarily ancient formate-nitrite transporter 30 (FNT) family of pentameric anion channels and translocates formic acid bidirectionally. 31 Here, we identify compartmentalized polarity distribution across the complete FocA 32 pore structure – resolved at 2.56 Å – mirrored against a two-fold axis with H209 at its 33 center. The FocA-H209N efflux-only variant reveals a density consistent with formic 34 acid located directly at N209, breaking local polarity distribution. Pyruvate formate-35 lyase, generating formate, orients at the cytoplasmic face where formate delivery is 36 regulated by conformational changes in the FocA vestibule. Comparisons with other 37 FNTs suggest a tuning mechanism of formate-specific transport via checkpoints 38 enriched in hydrophilic residues.

Project description:BAF (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodelers engage binding partners to generate sitespecific DNA accessibility. However, the basis for interactions between BAF and divergent binding partners has remained unclear. Here we tested the hypothesis that scaffold proteins augment BAF’s binding repertoire by examining β-catenin and steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1, NR5A1), a β-catenin–dependent transcription factor central to steroid production. In steroidogenic cell lines, BAF inhibition rapidly opposed overlapping SF-1/β-catenin enhancer occupancy, thereby impairing SF-1 target activation, steroid production, and SF-1/β-catenin autoregulation. These effects arise due to β-catenin’s role as an adapter between SF-1 and an intrinsically disordered region (IDR) of the canonical BAF (cBAF) subunit ARID1A. In contrast to exclusively IDR-driven mechanisms, folded Armadillo repeats on β-catenin were required to bind cBAF. β-catenin similarly linked cBAF to SOX2, FOXO3, YAP1, and CBP/p300. Visualization of contacts highlighted β-catenin’s central role in IDR-dependent interaction of cBAF with diverse transcription factors and chromatin regulators. The cross-linking dataset was used to validate the interaction interface obtained with computational modelling.

Project description:Defective ion channel turnover and clearance of damaged proteins are associated with aging and neurodegeneration. The L-type CaV1.2 voltage-gated calcium channel mediate depolarization-induced calcium signals in heart and brain. Here, we determined the interaction surface between the L-type calcium channel CaVβ subunit and actin using cross-linking mass spectrometry and protein-protein docking, and uncovered a role in replenishing damaged CaV1.2 channels. Computational and in vitro mutagenesis identified hotspots in CaVβ that decrease its affinity for actin but not for CaV1.2. Coexpression of an actin-association-deficient CaVβ mutant with the CaV1.2 channel downregulated current amplitudes with a concomitant reduction in the number of functionally available channels. Neither alterations in the single-channel properties nor changes in the total number of channels at the cell surface were found, indicating that current inhibition resulted from a build-up of conduction-defective channels. Our findings established CaVβ–actin interaction as a key player for selective monitoring and clearing corrupted CaV proteins to ensure the maintenance of a functional pool of channels and proper calcium signal transduction. The CaVβ–actin molecular model introduces a potentially druggable protein-protein interface to intervene CaV-mediated signaling processes.

Project description:Adenovirus (AdV) infection of the respiratory epithelium is common but poorly understood. Human infective species C AdVs, such as HAdV-C5, utilise the Coxsackie-Adenovirus receptor (CAR) for attachment and subsequently integrins for entry. CAR and integrins are however located deep within the tight junctions in the mucosa where they would not be easily accessible. Recently, a model for CAR-independent AdV entry was proposed. In this model, Lactoferrin (LF), an innate immune protein, aids the viral uptake into epithelial cells by mediating interactions between the major capsid protein, hexon, and yet unknown host cellular receptor(s). Yet, a detailed understanding of the molecular interactions driving this mechanism is lacking. Here, we present a novel cryo-EM structure of HAd-5C hexon at high resolution alongside a hybrid structure of human lactoferrin (hLF) complexed with HAdV-5C hexon. These structures reveal the molecular determinants of the interaction between hLF and HAdV-C5 hexon. hLF engages hexon primarily via its N-terminal Lactoferricin (Lfcin) region, interacting with hexon's hypervariable region 1 (HVR-1). Mutational analyses pinpoint critical Lfcin contacts but also identify additional regions within hLF that critically contribute to hexon binding. Our study sheds more light on the intricate mechanism by which HAdV-C5 utilises soluble hLF/Lfcin for cellular entry. These findings hold promise for advancing gene therapy applications and inform vaccine development.

Project description:Mass spectrometry (MS) has become one of the core technologies to study protein structures, protein-ligand and protein-protein interactions. Chemical cross-linking combined with mass spectrometry (XL-MS) is quickly spreading over different biochemistry laboratories for the continuous increase of its biological applications and standardized protocols that make it attractive for academia and industry research scientists. In recent years, XL-MS has developed as a powerful technique in structural biology, from studying structures of purified proteins in vitro to deciphering intricate protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks in cells, organelles and tissues on a system-wide scale. However, the number of XL-MS studies for the inves-tigation of epitope/paratope mapping of antigen-antibody complexes is still limited up to now. In this manuscript, we devel-oped a simple, fast and automated workflow to define the interaction interface between the chimeric antibody Infliximab (IFX) and its own target, the Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNFα). This workflow integrates XL-MS data to identify areas in proximity to the binding regions and epitope/paratope probability calculation to pinpoint the antigen-antibody binding sites. The data are combined to generate refined 3D models of the antigen-antibody complex which closely resemble the X-ray IFX/TNFα structure and capture their correct interaction surface. The present workflow can be applied to investigate any antigen-antibody complex, even when no previous structural knowledge is available. This strategy is a fascinating oppor-tunity to thoroughly characterize antigen-antibody interactions and to allow the understanding of their binding mechanisms in order to properly design better antibody therapeutics in the future

Project description:Membrane glycoproteins often adopt different conformations when shifting between active and inactive states. Here, we discover a molecular switch that operates through major changes in the spatial arrangement of the N-glycan landscape during such conformational transitions. We demonstrate that the cell adhesion glycoprotein alpha5 beta1 integrin selectively in its bent-closed inactive conformational state nucleates the formation of ring-shaped tetramers of the glycan-binding protein galectin-3 to drive endocytic uptake. We propose a novel structural model to explain how spatial rearrangement of N-glycans transduced by conformational changes results in galectin-3 tetramers. Our findings identify local arrangements of N-glycans as unexpectedly dynamic regulatory elements at the cell surface and provide a new facet to higher order pattern interactions with glycoproteins for regulation of processes such as galectin-dependent endocytosis.
