Project description:PTEN (Phosphatase and TENsin homolog deleted on chromosome ten) is a major tumor suppressor gene that is frequently mutated or lost under cancerous conditions. PTEN is a dual-specificity phosphatase that negatively regulates the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway at the plasma membrane (PM). Its functional regulation and cellular localization are known to be conformationally driven. Access to the PM is phospho-regulated by open and closed PTEN forms. However, clarifying the underlying structural mechanisms is still an open avenue of research. Here, we apply an integrative structural modeling approach, combining coarse-grained and all-atom molecular dynamics with experimental crosslinking mass spectrometry. Conformational exchange between an “eased” form and a “strained” form brings the protein’s phosphatase and C2 domains closer together, blocking the catalytic site, and affecting the loops involved in PM binding. Our full-length PTEN models, AlphaMissense, and RaSP were used to better predict the consequences of PTEN mutations.

Project description: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.

Project description:The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is an evolutionarily conserved protein complex that functions as a deneddylase to inactivate Cullin-RING E3 ligases for controlling protein ubiquitination. CSN possesses structural flexibility that is important for its activation upon binding to a diverse array of CRLs. The canonical and non-canonical CSN complexes consist of 8 (CSN1-8) and 9 (CSN1-9) subunits, respectively. Although CSN9 is not essential for CSN assembly and function, it appears to be important in non-catalytic regulation of CRLs by CSN. Here we employed a combinatory cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) approach to generate the largest PPI maps of human CSN complexes, which significantly enhanced the precision of integrative structural modeling. The resulting integrative structures allowed us not only to elucidate architectures of both complexes, but also to assess CSN structural dynamics that was not described in the crystal structure. In addition, we have determined CSN9 docking sites and its impact on the CSN structure. While CSN9 binding did not induce global conformational changes, it triggered subunit local reorientations that may be associated with CSN9 involvement in CSN-mediated steric regulation of CRLs.

Project description:Rabies virus (RABV) is the causative agent of rabies, a severe neurological disease with a 100% fatality rate for symptomatic infection with no therapeutic options. After invading a cell, the rabies virus interacts extensively with host proteins to replicate within the host and circumvent antiviral defense mechanisms. As the RNA of this virus only encodes five proteins, many of the host-viral interactions are mediated by the multifunctional phosphoprotein (P-protein). The functional diversity of P-protein is in part due to discrete functions of the individual domains (two regions of intrinsic disorder separated by a dimerization domain and an ordered C-terminal domain) but also through the expression of the five P-protein isoforms (P1-P5), that differ through N-terminal truncations. These isoforms have distinct phenotypes whereby they show differing organelle localization and interact with different cellular components. The cytosolic P1 is important for viral replication as a cofactor for the RNA polymerase (L protein) and a chaperon of the viral RNA binding N protein. P1 is also a known factor for binding and inhibiting the antiviral transcription factor, STAT1. P3, however, lacks the regions for binding L and N protein, and has gained new functions absent in P1, including microtubule association and bundling, accumulation in the nucleolus. We have also found that P3 binds RNA, whereas P1 does not. Both P1 and P3 have been shown to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), however it is unclear how this property impacts RNA binding. Here we have used crosslinking mass spectrometry method to characterize the structure of P1 and P3 by mapping the proximity between the domains of P-protein P1, P3 as well as P3 mutants P3-D289N and P3-K214A/R260A (called P3-KRm). We have measured abundances of individual crosslinks to determine conformational differences of the four proteins and uncover the structural and functional differences of P1 and P3.

Project description:Cross-linking mass spectrometry is a powerful method for the investigation of protein-protein interactions from highly complex samples. XL-MS combined with tandem mass tag labeling holds the promise of large-scale PPI quantification. However, a robust and efficient TMT-based XL-MS quantification method has not yet been established due to the lack of a benchmarking dataset and thorough evaluation of various MS parameters. To tackle these limitations, we generate a two-interactome dataset by spiking-in TMT-labeled cross-linked E. coli lysate into TMT-labeled cross-linked HEK293T lysate using a defined mixing scheme. Using this benchmarking dataset, we assess the efficacy of cross-link identification and accuracy of cross-link quantification using different MS acquisition strategies. For identification, we compare various MS2- and MS3-based XL-MS methods, and optimize stepped HCD energies for TMT-labeled cross-links. We observed a need for notably higher fragmentation energies compared to unlabeled cross-links. For quantification, we assess the quantification accuracy and dispersion of MS2-, MS3- and synchronous precursor selection-MS3-based methods. We show that a stepped HCD-MS2 method with stepped collision energies 36-42-48 provides a vast number of quantifiable cross-links with high quantification accuracy. This widely applicable method paves the way for multiplexed quantitative PPI characterization from complex biological systems.

Project description:Combining mass spectrometry based chemical cross-linking and complexome profiling, we analyzed the interactome of heart mitochondria. We focused on complexes of oxidative phosphorylation and found that dimeric apoptosis inducing factor 1 (AIFM1) forms a defined complex with ~10% of monomeric cytochrome c oxidase (COX), but hardly interacts with respiratory chain supercomplexes. Multiple AIFM1 inter-crosslinks engaging six different COX subunits provided structural restraints to build a detailed atomic model of the COX-AIFM12 complex. Application of two complementary proteomic approaches thus provided unexpected insight into the macromolecular organization of the mitochondrial complexome. Our structural model excludes direct electron transfer between AIFM1 and COX. Notably however, the binding site of cytochrome c remains accessible allowing formation of a ternary complex. The discovery of the previously overlooked COX-AIFM12 complex and clues provided by the structural model hint at a role of AIFM1 in OXPHOS biogenesis and in programmed cell death.

Project description:The mammalian oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system in the inner mitochondrial membrane comprises respiratory chain complexes I-IV (CI-CIV) and ATP synthase. Together, these protein complexes harvest metabolic energy to generate ATP, the cellular energy currency. The inner mitochondrial membrane is abundant in OXPHOS complexes and CI, CIII and CIV exhibit specific protein-protein interactions to form stable supercomplex assemblies, exemplified by the respirasome (CI-CIII2-CIV). Respirasomes are conserved in evolution, and as well documented by biochemical and structural methods. However, their physiological roles are much debated, despite a substantial literature suggesting their importance in facilitating catalysis and regulating turnover in response to metabolic demand. To investigate the in vivo role of respirasomes, we deleted a short conserved, charged loop in the UQCRC1 subunit of CIII that contacts CI. The resulting homozygous knock-in mice show profoundly decreased levels of respirasomes on blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BN-PAGE) and complexome profiling proteomics analyses of different tissues, although the individual complexes appear unaffected. In vivo The spatial organization of respirasomes in vivo was altered in knock-in mice as shown by cross-linking experiments on intact mitochondria. Surprisingly, the mutant mice are healthy, with normal respiratory chain capacity and normal exercise tolerance. Therefore, respirasomes are dispensable for OXPHOS function in vivo.

Project description:The nucleocapsid N is one of four structural proteins of the coronaviruses. Its essential role in genome encapsidation makes it a critical therapeutic target for COVID-19 and related diseases. However, the inherent disorder of full-length N has hampered its structural analysis. Here, we describe a stepwise method using viral-derived RNAs to stabilize SARS-CoV-2 N for EM analysis. We identified pieces of RNA from the SARS-CoV-2 genome that promote the formation of structurally homogeneous N dimers, intermediates of assembly, and filamentous capsid-like structures. Building on these results, we engineered a symmetric RNA to stabilize N protein dimers, the building block of high-order assemblies, for EM analyses. We combined domain-specific monoclonal antibodies against N with chemical cross-linking mass spectrometry and cryo-EM to validate the atomic model for the N dimer. The resulting N dimer structure provides insights into its architectural and antigenic principles, which can guide design of pan-coronavirus therapeutics.

Project description:Herpesviruses are an ancient family of highly-prevalent human and animal pathogens that acquire their membrane envelopes in the cytoplasm of infected cells. While multiple conserved viral proteins are known to be required for efficient herpesvirus production, many of these proteins lack identifiable structural homologues and the molecular details of herpesvirus assembly remain unclear. We have characterized the complex of assembly proteins pUL7 and pUL51 from herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1, an α-herpesvirus, using multi-angle light scattering and small-angle X-ray scattering with chemical crosslinking. HSV-1 pUL7 and pUL51 form a stable 1:2 complex that is capable of higher-order oligomerization in solution. We solved the crystal structure of this complex, revealing a core heterodimer comprising pUL7 bound to residues 41–125 of pUL51. While pUL7 adopts a previously-unseen compact fold, the extended helix-turn-helix conformation of pUL51 resembles the cellular endosomal complex required for transport (ESCRT)- III component CHMP4B, suggesting a direct role for pUL51 in promoting membrane scission during virus assembly. We demonstrate that the interaction between pUL7 and pUL51 homologues is conserved acrosshuman α-, β- and γ-herpesviruses, as is their association with trans-Golgi membranes in cultured cells. However, pUL7 and pUL51 homologues do not form complexes with their respective partners from different virus families, suggesting that the molecular details of the interaction interface have diverged. Our results demonstrate that the pUL7:pUL51 complex is conserved across the herpesviruses and provide a structural framework for understanding its role in herpesvirus assembly.
