Structure determination and analysis of a bacterial chymotrypsin from Cellulomonas bogoriensis.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of a secreted chymotrypsin from the alkaliphile Cellulomonas bogoriensis has been determined using data to 1.78 A resolution and refined to a crystallographic R factor of 0.167. The crystal structure reveals a large P1 substrate-specificity pocket, as expected for chymotrypsins. The structure is compared with close structural homologues. This comparison does not reveal clear reasons for the alkali tolerance of the enzyme, but the greater compactness of the structure and lowered hydrogen bonding may play a role.

Proteomic Analysis of the Secretome of Cellulomonas fimi ATCC 484 and Cellulomonas flavigena ATCC 482.

Project description:The bacteria in the genus Cellulomonas are known for their ability to degrade plant cell wall biomass. Cellulomonas fimi ATCC 484 and C. flavigena ATCC 482 have been the subject of much research into secreted cellulases and hemicellulases. Recently the genome sequences of both C. fimi ATCC 484 and C. flavigena ATCC 482 were published, and a genome comparison has revealed their full spectrum of possible carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes). Using mass spectrometry, we have compared the proteins secreted by C. fimi and C. flavigena during growth on the soluble cellulose substrate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), as well as a soluble xylan fraction. Many known C. fimi CAZymes were detected, which validated our analysis, as were a number of new CAZymes and other proteins that, though identified in the genome, have not previously been observed in the secretome of either organism. Our data also shows that many of these are co-expressed on growth of either CMC or xylan. This analysis provides a new perspective on Cellulomonas enzymes and provides many new CAZyme targets for characterization.

From bacterial to human dihydrouridine synthase: automated structure determination.

Project description:The reduction of uridine to dihydrouridine at specific positions in tRNA is catalysed by dihydrouridine synthase (Dus) enzymes. Increased expression of human dihydrouridine synthase 2 (hDus2) has been linked to pulmonary carcinogenesis, while its knockdown decreased cancer cell line viability, suggesting that it may serve as a valuable target for therapeutic intervention. Here, the X-ray crystal structure of a construct of hDus2 encompassing the catalytic and tRNA-recognition domains (residues 1-340) determined at 1.9?Å resolution is presented. It is shown that the structure can be determined automatically by phenix.mr_rosetta starting from a bacterial Dus enzyme with only 18% sequence identity and a significantly divergent structure. The overall fold of the human Dus2 is similar to that of bacterial enzymes, but has a larger recognition domain and a unique three-stranded antiparallel ?-sheet insertion into the catalytic domain that packs next to the recognition domain, contributing to domain-domain interactions. The structure may inform the development of novel therapeutic approaches in the fight against lung cancer.

Characterization and expression analysis of chymotrypsin after bacterial challenge in the mud crab, Scylla paramamosain.

Project description:Chymotrypsin is one of the serine proteases families that have various biological functions. A chymotrypsin gene was isolated from hepatopancreas of the mud crab, Scylla paramamosain (designated SpCHY) in this study. The full-length cDNA of SpCHY contained 942 nucleotides with a polyadenylation sequence and encoded a peptide of 270 amino acids with a signal peptide of 17 amino acids. The SpCHY gene contains seven exons, six introns, a TATA box and several transcription factor binding sites that were found in 5'-promoter region which is 1221 bp in length. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis indicated that the expression level of SpCHY mRNA in hepatopancreas was significantly higher than that in other tissues. Immunocytochemistry and in situ hybridization exhibited the CHY-like reactivity presented in resorptive cells of the hepatopancreas. After bacterial challenge with Vibrio alginolyticus, the expression level of SpCHY mRNA was extremely up-regulated at 3 h in hepatopancreas. Our results suggest that SpCHY might play an important role in the mud crab's immune response.

Biochemical analysis and structure determination of bacterial acetyltransferases responsible for the biosynthesis of UDP-N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine.

Project description:UDP-N,N'-diacetylbacillosamine (UDP-diNAcBac) is a unique carbohydrate produced by a number of bacterial species and has been implicated in pathogenesis. The terminal step in the formation of this important bacterial sugar is catalyzed by an acetyl-CoA (AcCoA)-dependent acetyltransferase in both N- and O-linked protein glycosylation pathways. This bacterial acetyltransferase is a member of the left-handed β-helix family and forms a homotrimer as the functional unit. Whereas previous endeavors have focused on the Campylobacter jejuni acetyltransferase (PglD) from the N-linked glycosylation pathway, structural characterization of the homologous enzymes in the O-linked glycosylation pathways is lacking. Herein, we present the apo-crystal structures of the acetyltransferase domain (ATD) from the bifunctional enzyme PglB (Neisseria gonorrhoeae) and the full-length acetyltransferase WeeI (Acinetobacter baumannii). Additionally, a PglB-ATD structure was solved in complex with AcCoA. Surprisingly, this structure reveals a contrasting binding mechanism for this substrate when compared with the AcCoA-bound PglD structure. A comparison between these findings and the previously solved PglD crystal structures illustrates a dichotomy among N- and O-linked glycosylation pathway enzymes. Based upon these structures, key residues in the UDP-4-amino and AcCoA binding pockets were mutated to determine their effect on binding and catalysis in PglD, PglB-ATD, and WeeI. Last, a phylogenetic analysis of the aforementioned acetyltransferases was employed to illuminate the diversity among N- and O-linked glycosylation pathway enzymes.

Identification, functional characterization, and crystal structure determination of bacterial levoglucosan dehydrogenase.

Project description:Levoglucosan is the 1,6-anhydrosugar of d-glucose formed by pyrolysis of glucans and is found in the environment and industrial waste. Two types of microbial levoglucosan metabolic pathways are known. Although the eukaryotic pathway involving levoglucosan kinase has been well-studied, the bacterial pathway involving levoglucosan dehydrogenase (LGDH) has not been well-investigated. Here, we identified and cloned the lgdh gene from the bacterium Pseudarthrobacter phenanthrenivorans and characterized the recombinant protein. The enzyme exhibited high substrate specificity toward levoglucosan and NAD+ for the oxidative reaction and was confirmed to be LGDH. LGDH also showed weak activities (∼4%) toward l-sorbose and 1,5-anhydro-d-glucitol. The reverse (reductive) reaction using 3-keto-levoglucosan and NADH exhibited significantly lower Km and higher kcat values than those of the forward reaction. The crystal structures of LGDH in the apo and complex forms with NADH, NADH + levoglucosan, and NADH + l-sorbose revealed that LGDH has a typical fold of Gfo/Idh/MocA family proteins, similar to those of scyllo-inositol dehydrogenase, aldose-aldose oxidoreductase, 1,5-anhydro-d-fructose reductase, and glucose-fructose oxidoreductase. The crystal structures also disclosed that the active site of LGDH is distinct from those of these enzymes. The LGDH active site extensively recognized the levoglucosan molecule with six hydrogen bonds, and the C3 atom of levoglucosan was closely located to the C4 atom of NADH nicotinamide. Our study is the first molecular characterization of LGDH, providing evidence for C3-specific oxidation and representing a starting point for future biotechnological use of LGDH and levoglucosan-metabolizing bacteria.

An online resource for GPCR structure determination and analysis.

Project description:G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) transduce physiological and sensory stimuli into appropriate cellular responses and mediate the actions of one-third of drugs. GPCR structural studies have revealed the general bases of receptor activation, signaling, drug action and allosteric modulation, but so far cover only 13% of nonolfactory receptors. We broadly surveyed the receptor modifications/engineering and methods used to produce all available GPCR crystal and cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures, and present an interactive resource integrated in GPCRdb ( http://www.gpcrdb.org ) to assist users in designing constructs and browsing appropriate experimental conditions for structure studies.
