Structural analysis of the P132L disease mutation in caveolin-1 reveals its role in the assembly of oligomeric complexes.

ABSTRACT: Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is a membrane-sculpting protein that oligomerizes to generate flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane known as caveolae. Mutations in CAV1 have been linked to multiple diseases in humans. Such mutations often interfere with oligomerization and the intracellular trafficking processes required for successful caveolae assembly, but the molecular mechanisms underlying these defects have not been structurally explained. Here, we investigate how a disease-associated mutation in one of the most highly conserved residues in CAV1, P132L, affects CAV1 structure and oligomerization. We show that P132 is positioned at a major site of protomer-protomer interactions within the CAV1 complex, providing a structural explanation for why the mutant protein fails to homo-oligomerize correctly. Using a combination of computational, structural, biochemical, and cell biological approaches, we find that despite its homo-oligomerization defects P132L is capable of forming mixed hetero-oligomeric complexes with WT CAV1 and that these complexes can be incorporated into caveolae. These findings provide insights into the fundamental mechanisms that control the formation of homo- and hetero-oligomers of caveolins that are essential for caveolae biogenesis, as well as how these processes are disrupted in human disease.

Project description:Mitochondria are the energy producing organelles of the cell, and mutations within their genome can cause numerous and often severe human diseases. At the heart of every mitochondrion is a set of five large multi-protein machines collectively known as the mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC). This cellular machinery is central to several processes important for maintaining homeostasis within cells, including the production of ATP. The MRC is unique due to the bigenomic origin of its interacting proteins, which are encoded in the nucleus and mitochondria. It is this, in combination with the sheer number of protein-protein interactions that occur both within and between the MRC complexes, which makes the prediction of function and pathological outcome from primary sequence mutation data extremely challenging. Here we demonstrate how 3D structural analysis can be employed to predict the functional importance of mutations in mtDNA protein-coding genes. We mined the MITOMAP database and, utilizing the latest structural data, classified mutation sites based on their location within the MRC complexes III and IV. Using this approach, four structural classes of mutation were identified, including one underexplored class that interferes with nuclear-mitochondrial protein interactions. We demonstrate that this class currently eludes existing predictive approaches that do not take into account the quaternary structural organization inherent within and between the MRC complexes. The systematic and detailed structural analysis of disease-associated mutations in the mitochondrial Complex III and IV genes significantly enhances the predictive power of existing approaches and our understanding of how such mutations contribute to various pathologies. Given the general lack of any successful therapeutic approaches for disorders of the MRC, these findings may inform the development of new diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, as well as new drugs and targets for gene therapy.
