Solution structure of Arabidopsis thaliana protein At5g39720.1, a member of the AIG2-like protein family.

ABSTRACT: The three-dimensional structure of Arabidopsis thaliana protein At5g39720.1 was determined by NMR spectroscopy. It is the first representative structure of Pfam family PF06094, which contains protein sequences similar to that of AIG2, an A. thaliana protein of unknown function induced upon infection by the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. The At5g39720.1 structure consists of a five-stranded beta-barrel surrounded by two alpha-helices and a small beta-sheet. A long flexible alpha-helix protrudes from the structure at the C-terminal end. A structural homology search revealed similarity to three members of Pfam family UPF0131. Conservation of residues in a hydrophilic cavity able to bind small ligands in UPF0131 proteins suggests that this may also serve as an active site in AIG2-like proteins.

Solution structure of At3g28950 from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:We determined the solution structure of At3g28950 from A. thaliana, a homolog of At5g39720, whose structure we solved earlier. The secondary structure of the 165-aa protein consists of a 5-strand antiparallel beta-barrel domain flanked by two alpha-helices and a 2-strand beta-sheet; an additional free C-terminal alpha-helix extends into solution. Bioinformatic searches and analyses suggest that members of this growing set of structurally related proteins have been recruited to serve a wide variety of functions ranging from gamma-glutamyl cyclotransferase activity to participation in plant responses to chemical and biotic stimuli. Expression of a human homolog is elevated in bladder cancer tissues. Expression patterns for At3g28950 and its Arabidopsis paralogs suggest that each one evolved a different physiological role. The At3g28950 structure was solved as part of a structural genomics effort, and the results demonstrate how such a project can further understanding of genome evolution in addition to sequence-structure and structure-function relationships.

Solution structure of Rv2377c-founding member of the MbtH-like protein family.

Project description:The Mycobacterium tuberculosis protein Rv2377c (71 residues, MW=8.4kDa) has been characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Rv2377c was the first identified member of the MbtH-like family of proteins. MbtH-like proteins have been implicated in siderophore biosynthesis, however, their precise biochemical function remain unknown. Size exclusion chromatography and NMR spectroscopy show that Rv2377c is a monomer in solution. Circular dichroism spectroscopy indicates that Rv2377c unfolds upon heating and will reversibly fold into its native conformation upon cooling. Using NMR-based methods the solution structure of Rv2377c was determined and some of the dynamic properties of the protein studied. The protein contains a three-strand, anti-parallel beta-sheet (beta3:beta1:beta2) nestled against one C-terminal alpha-helix (S44-N55). Weak or absent amide cross peaks in the (1)H-(15)N HSQC spectrum for many of the beta1 and beta2 residues suggest intermediate motion on the ms to mus time scale at the beta1:beta2 interface. Amide cross peaks in the (1)H-(15)N HSQC spectrum are absent for all but one residue at the C-terminus (W56-D71), a region that includes a highly conserved sequence WXDXR, suggesting this region is intrinsically disordered. The latter observation differs with the crystal structure of another MbtH-like protein, PA2412 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, where a second ordered alpha-helix was observed at the extreme C-terminus.

Solution structure of thioredoxin h1 from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Present in virtually every species, thioredoxins catalyze disulfide/dithiol exchange with various substrate proteins. While the human genome contains a single thioredoxin gene, plant thioredoxins are a complex protein family. A total of 19 different thioredoxin genes in six subfamilies has emerged from analysis of the Arabidopsis thaliana genome. Some function specifically in mitochondrial and chloroplast redox signaling processes, but target substrates for a group of eight thioredoxin proteins comprising the h subfamily are largely uncharacterized. In the course of a structural genomics effort directed at the recently completed A. thaliana genome, we determined the structure of thioredoxin h1 (At3g51030.1) in the oxidized state. The structure, defined by 1637 NMR-derived distance and torsion angle constraints, displays the conserved thioredoxin fold, consisting of a five-stranded beta-sheet flanked by four helices. Redox-dependent chemical shift perturbations mapped primarily to the conserved WCGPC active-site sequence and other nearby residues, but distant regions of the C-terminal helix were also affected by reduction of the active-site disulfide. Comparisons of the oxidized A. thaliana thioredoxin h1 structure with an h-type thioredoxin from poplar in the reduced state revealed structural differences in the C-terminal helix but no major changes in the active site conformation.

Function and solution structure of the Arabidopsis thaliana RALF8 peptide.

Project description:We report the recombinant preparation from Escherichia coli cells of samples of two closely related, small, secreted cysteine-rich plant peptides: rapid alkalinization factor 1 (RALF1) and rapid alkalinization factor 8 (RALF8). Purified samples of the native sequence of RALF8 exhibited well-resolved nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra and also biological activity through interaction with a plant receptor kinase, cytoplasmic calcium mobilization, and in vivo root growth suppression. By contrast, RALF1 could only be isolated from inclusion bodies as a construct containing an N-terminal His-tag; its poorly resolved NMR spectrum was indicative of aggregation. We prepared samples of the RALF8 peptide labeled with 15 N and 13 C for NMR analysis and obtained near complete 1 H, 13 C, and 15 N NMR assignments; determined the disulfide pairing of its four cysteine residues; and examined its solution structure. RALF8 is mostly disordered except for the two loops spanned by each of its two disulfide bridges.

Solution structure of a late embryogenesis abundant protein (LEA14) from Arabidopsis thaliana, a cellular stress-related protein.

Project description:We report the three-dimensional structure of a late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) protein from Arabidopsis thaliana gene At1g01470.1. This protein is a member of Pfam cluster PF03168, and has been classified as a LEA14 protein. LEA proteins are expressed under conditions of cellular stress, such as desiccation, cold, osmotic stress, and heat. The structure, which was determined by NMR spectroscopy, revealed that the At1g01470.1 protein has an alphabeta-fold consisting of one alpha-helix and seven beta-strands that form two antiparallel beta-sheets. The closest structural homologs were discovered to be fibronectin Type III domains, which have <7% sequence identity. Because fibronectins from animal cells have been shown to be involved in cell adhesion, cell motility, wound healing, and maintenance of cell shape, it is interesting to note that in plants wounding or stress results in the overexpression of a protein with fibronectin Type III structural features.

Structure of Arabidopsis thaliana At1g77540 protein, a minimal acetyltransferase from the COG2388 family.

Project description:We describe X-ray crystal and NMR solution structures of the protein coded for by Arabidopsis thaliana gene At1g77540.1 (At1g77540). The crystal structure was determined to 1.15 A with an R factor of 14.9% (Rfree = 17.0%) by multiple-wavelength anomalous diffraction using sodium bromide derivatized crystals. The ensemble of NMR conformers was determined with protein samples labeled with 15N and 13C + 15N. The X-ray structure and NMR ensemble were closely similar with rmsd 1.4 A for residues 8-93. At1g77540 was found to adopt a fold similar to that of GCN5-related N-acetyltransferases. Enzymatic activity assays established that At1g77540 possesses weak acetyltransferase activity against histones H3 and H4. Chemical shift perturbations observed in 15N-HSQC spectra upon the addition of CoA indicated that the cofactor binds and identified its binding site. The molecular details of this interaction were further elucidated by solving the X-ray structure of the At1g77540-CoA complex. This work establishes that the domain family COG2388 represents a novel class of acetyltransferase and provides insight into possible mechanistic roles of the conserved Cys76 and His41 residues of this family.

Solution structure of a single-domain thiosulfate sulfurtransferase from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:We describe the three-dimensional structure of the product of Arabidopsis thaliana gene At5g66040.1 as determined by NMR spectroscopy. This protein is categorized as single-domain sulfurtransferase and is annotated as a senescence-associated protein (sen1-like protein) and ketoconazole resistance protein (http://arabidopsis.org/info/genefamily/STR_genefamily.html). The sequence of At5g66040.1 is virtually identical to that of a protein from Arabidopsis found by others to confer ketoconazole resistance in yeast. Comparison of the three-dimensional structure with those in the Protein Data Bank revealed that At5g66040.1 contains an additional mobile beta-hairpin not found in other rhodaneses that may function in binding specific substrates. This represents the first structure of a single-domain plant sulfurtransferase. The enzymatically active cysteine-containing domain belongs to the CDC25 class of phosphatases, sulfide dehydrogenases, and stress proteins such as senescence specific protein 1 in plants, PspE and GlpE in bacteria, and cyanide and arsenate resistance proteins. Versions of this domain that lack the active site cysteine are found in other proteins, such as phosphatases, ubiquitin hydrolases, and sulfuryltransferases.

Solution structure and assembly of β-amylase 2 from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Starch is a key energy-storage molecule in plants that requires controlled synthesis and breakdown for effective plant growth. β-Amylases (BAMs) hydrolyze starch into maltose to help to meet the metabolic needs of the plant. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana there are nine BAMs, which have apparently distinct functional and domain structures, although the functions of only a few of the BAMs are known and there are no 3D structures of BAMs from this organism. Recently, AtBAM2 was proposed to form a tetramer based on chromatography and activity assays of mutants; however, there was no direct observation of this tetramer. Here, small-angle X-ray scattering data were collected from AtBAM2 and its N-terminal truncations to describe the structure and assembly of the tetramer. Comparison of the scattering of the AtBAM2 tetramer with data collected from sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) BAM5, which is also reported to form a tetramer, showed there were differences in the overall assembly. Analysis of the N-terminal truncations of AtBAM2 identified a loop sequence found only in BAM2 orthologs that appears to be critical for AtBAM2 tetramer assembly as well as for activity.

Solution structure of the phytotoxic protein PcF: the first characterized member of the Phytophthora PcF toxin family.

Project description:The PcF protein from Phytophthora cactorum is the first member of the "PcF toxin family" from the plant pathogens Phytophthora spp. It is able to induce withering in tomato and strawberry leaves. The lack of sequence similarity with other proteins hampers the identification of the molecular mechanisms responsible for its toxicity. Here, we show that the six cysteines form a disulphide pattern that is exclusive for PcF and essential for the protein withering activity. The NMR solution structure identifies a novel fold among protein effectors: a helix-loop-helix motif. The presence of a negatively charged surface suggests that it might act as a site of electrostatic interaction. Interestingly, a good fold match with Ole e 6, a plant protein with allergenic activity, highlighted the spatial superimposition of a stretch of identical residues. This finding suggests a possible biological activity based on molecular mimicry.

Solution structure of the rhodanese homology domain At4g01050(175-295) from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:The three-dimensional structure of the rhodanese homology domain At4g01050(175-195) from Arabidopsis thaliana has been determined by solution nuclear magnetic resonance methods based on 3043 upper distance limits derived from NOE intensities measured in three-dimensional NOESY spectra. The structure shows a backbone root mean square deviation to the mean coordinates of 0.43 A for the structured residues 7-125. The fold consists of a central parallel beta-sheet with five strands in the order 1-5-4-2-3 and arranged in the conventional counterclockwise twist, and helices packing against each side of the beta-sheet. Comparison with the sequences of other proteins with a rhodanese homology domain in Arabidopsis thaliana indicated residues that could play an important role in the scaffold of the rhodanese homology domain. Finally, a three-dimensional structure comparison of the present noncatalytic rhodanese homology domain with the noncatalytic rhodanese domains of sulfurtransferases from other organisms discloses differences in the length and conformation of loops that could throw light on the role of the noncatalytic rhodanese domain in sulfurtransferases.
