Study of the conformational dynamics of Helicobacter pylori CtpA

ABSTRACT: Bacterial carboxyl-terminal processing proteases (CTPs) are critical for maintaining protein quality control, mediating signal transduction, and enabling cellular adaptation. Their activation typically involves substrate binding to the PDZ domain or interaction with an adaptor protein. In this study, we employed hydrogen–deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) to investigate the conformational dynamics of the CTP from Helicobacter pylori, CtpA, in both the presence and absence of its substrate HP1076. To eliminate the confounding effects of proteolysis, a triple mutant (CtpATM) with an inactivated catalytic triad was used. Additionally, a hinge-region mutant (CtpAF105R) was employed to validate the dynamic behavior of the linker connecting the PDZ domain. This study reveals CtpA transitions between resting and active states independently of substrate binding.

Project description:Enzymes play a crucial role in biological systems and biotechnological processes as vital and sustainable catalysts that facilitate and regulate biochemical reactions. Inhibition of product formation of an enzyme by its own substrate was originally dismissed as an artifact of biochemical analysis, but is now a proven fact and occurs in about 20% of known enzymes1. Substrate inhibition is attributed to the formation of an unproductive enzyme-substrate complex with no structural evidence of unproductivity provided to date1–6. Here we show in detail the molecular mechanism of substrate inhibition of the tobacco glucosyltransferase NbUGT72AY1, which transfers glucose from its nucleotide donor substrate to phenol acceptors as a plant protection measure. The peculiarity that the effector β-carotene strongly attenuates the substrate inhibition of NbUGT72AY1, although it unexpectedly acts as a competitive acceptor-substrate inhibitor, allowed us to uncover the conformational changes that occur during substrate binding in the active and substrate-inhibited complexes of this protein. X-ray crystallography revealed structurally different ternary enzyme-substrate complexes that do not conform to the classical compulsory ordered or random mechanism of an enzyme-catalyzed sequential bi-substrate reaction. We suggest an alternative pathway in which the two substrates bind randomly to the enzyme, but the reaction is only catalyzed if a specific order of substrate binding is observed (asymmetric cooperativity). The new paradigm explains substrate inhibition in monomeric multi-substrate enzymes and reactivation of activity by competitive inhibitors. This alternative concept opens up new avenues of research in metabolic regulation as well as a wealth of novel industrial applications. The results enable novel approaches, e.g. to minimize the effects of food components on drug metabolism and to study plant defense mechanisms from a new perspective and offer alternative approaches for the design of more efficient production processes.

Project description:Regenerative therapy employing intestinal stem cells (ISCs) holds a great promise for reliable epithelial restoration. However, achieving this goal requires scalable and robust, but fully defined culture platforms that eliminate the use of xenogeneic components while preserving stem cell function. Most existing systems usually rely on the use of Matrigel, complicating clinical translation and limiting mechanistic understanding of stem cell-material interactions. In this study, a poly(ethyleneglycoldimethacrylate) (pEGDMA)-based synthetic culture surface is precisely refined through N2 plasma treatment thereon, enabling tailored modulation of surface properties. This modification enhances wettability of the polymer surface and introduces N-containing functional groups, resulting in the PoLymer-coated Ultra-stable Surface (PLUS) that significantly improves ISC attachment under xenogeneic-free conditions. Remarkably, PLUS maintains its ISC-supportive function even after three years of ambient storage. Gene expression analysis and comparative proteomic profiling clearly reveal the upregulation of factors involved in actin dynamics and cytoskeletal reorganization, indicating a structural basis for enhanced colony expansion. Consistently, colonies on PLUS exhibit a broader migratory range and migrate 1.8-fold faster during random movement than those on pristine pEGDMA. Functional validation using small-molecule perturbation assays confirms the involvement of cytoskeletal remodeling by exquisitely mediating ISC-substrate interaction. Furthermore, PLUS enables progressive wound closure via dynamic migration by up to 46.7% within 144 h through actin-dependent mechanisms, supporting the facilitated epithelium regeneration. By providing a long-term reliable bioactive surface that sustains stemness and regenerative capacity of ISCs, PLUS engages cytoskeletal machinery as a central mediator of ISC-substrate interaction, in part by promoting actin-dependent cytoskeletal reorganization, positioning it as a scalable, translational platform for intestinal stem cell-based regenerative medicine.
