Structural insights into intermediate steps in the Sir2 deacetylation reaction.

ABSTRACT: Sirtuin enzymes comprise a unique class of NAD(+)-dependent protein deacetylases. Although structures of many sirtuin complexes have been determined, structural resolution of intermediate chemical steps are needed to understand the deacetylation mechanism. We report crystal structures of the bacterial sirtuin, Sir2Tm, in complex with an S-alkylamidate intermediate, analogous to the naturally occurring O-alkylamidate intermediate, and a Sir2Tm ternary complex containing a dissociated NAD(+) analog and acetylated peptide. The structures and biochemical studies reveal critical roles for the invariant active site histidine in positioning the reaction intermediate, and for a conserved phenylalanine residue in shielding reaction intermediates from base exchange with nicotinamide. The new structural and biochemical studies provide key mechanistic insight into intermediate steps of the Sir2 deacetylation reaction.

Structural insights into initial and intermediate steps of the ribosome-recycling process.

Project description:The ribosome-recycling factor (RRF) and elongation factor-G (EF-G) disassemble the 70S post-termination complex (PoTC) into mRNA, tRNA, and two ribosomal subunits. We have determined cryo-electron microscopic structures of the PoTC·RRF complex, with and without EF-G. We find that domain II of RRF initially interacts with universally conserved residues of the 23S rRNA helices 43 and 95, and protein L11 within the 50S ribosomal subunit. Upon EF-G binding, both RRF and tRNA are driven towards the tRNA-exit (E) site, with a large rotational movement of domain II of RRF towards the 30S ribosomal subunit. During this intermediate step of the recycling process, domain II of RRF and domain IV of EF-G adopt hitherto unknown conformations. Furthermore, binding of EF-G to the PoTC·RRF complex reverts the ribosome from ratcheted to unratcheted state. These results suggest that (i) the ribosomal intersubunit reorganizations upon RRF binding and subsequent EF-G binding could be instrumental in destabilizing the PoTC and (ii) the modes of action of EF-G during tRNA translocation and ribosome-recycling steps are markedly different.

Histone deacetylation by Sir2 generates a transcriptionally repressed nucleoprotein complex.

Project description:Sir2 is an NAD-dependent histone deacetylase required for transcriptional silencing. To study the mechanism of Sir2 function, we examined the biochemical properties of purified recombinant Drosophila Sir2 (dSir2). First, we performed histone deacetylation assays and found that dSir2 deacetylates a broad range of acetylated lysine residues. We then carried out in vitro transcription experiments and observed that dSir2 does not repress transcription with either naked DNA templates or chromatin assembled from native (and mostly unacetylated) histones. It was possible, however, that repression by dSir2 requires an acetylated histone substrate. We therefore tested the transcriptional effects of dSir2 with native histones that were hyperacetylated by treatment with acetic anhydride. Assembly of the hyperacetylated histones onto DNA yields a soluble histone-DNA complex that differs from canonical nucleosomal chromatin. With this hyperacetylated histone-DNA complex, we observed potent (50- to 100-fold) NAD-dependent transcriptional repression by purified dSir2. In contrast, repression by dSir2 was not observed in parallel experiments in which histones were hyperpropionylated with propionic anhydride. We also found that dSir2 mediates the formation of a nuclease-resistant fast-sedimenting histone-DNA complex in an NAD-dependent manner. Unlike dSir2, the dHDAC1 deacetylase does not strongly repress transcription or generate a nuclease-resistant histone-DNA complex. Furthermore, with yeast Sir2, the transcriptional repression we observe correlates with deacetylation activity in vitro and silencing activity in vivo. These findings suggest that deacetylation by Sir2 causes a conformational change or rearrangement of histones into a transcriptionally repressive chromatin structure.

Nucleosome intermediate preference of SMARCAD1 chromatin remodeler, and the structural insights

Project description:Examination of the repositioning of nucleosome and hexasome-sized particles induced by the SMARCAD1 family proteins in cells support the hexasome-binding mode. Our findings reveal a new mode of chromatin regulation, wherein the nucleosome intermediates are specially remodeled through an ATP-dependent process.

Microglia aging progresses through functional intermediate steps.

Project description:Aged microglia contribute to maladaptive inflammation, but little is known about their progression from homeostasis to dysfunction during aging. Here, we analyze the spatiotemporal kinetics of microglial aging in the hippocampus. Spatially, the dynamics of age-related inflammatory changes in microglia vastly differ across adjoining regions. Using single cell RNA-Sequencing and in vitro approaches, we find that microglia aging proceeds progressively through functional intermediate states that are necessary for inflammatory activation.

Structural analysis of an Escherichia coli endonuclease VIII covalent reaction intermediate.

Project description:Endonuclease VIII (Nei) of Escherichia coli is a DNA repair enzyme that excises oxidized pyrimidines from DNA. Nei shares with formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg) sequence homology and a similar mechanism of action: the latter involves removal of the damaged base followed by two sequential beta-elimination steps. However, Nei differs significantly from Fpg in substrate specificity. We determined the structure of Nei covalently crosslinked to a 13mer oligodeoxynucleotide duplex at 1.25 A resolution. The crosslink is derived from a Schiff base intermediate that precedes beta-elimination and is stabilized by reduction with NaBH(4). Nei consists of two domains connected by a hinge region, creating a DNA binding cleft between domains. DNA in the complex is sharply kinked, the deoxyribitol moiety is bound covalently to Pro1 and everted from the duplex into the active site. Amino acids involved in substrate binding and catalysis are identified. Molecular modeling and analysis of amino acid conservation suggest a site for recognition of the damaged base. Based on structural features of the complex and site-directed mutagenesis studies, we propose a catalytic mechanism for Nei.

Biochemical and structural insights of the early glycosylation steps in calicheamicin biosynthesis.

Project description:The enediyne antibiotic calicheamicin (CLM) gamma(1)(I) is a prominent antitumor agent that is targeted to DNA by a novel aryltetrasaccharide comprised of an aromatic unit and four unusual carbohydrates. Herein we report the heterologous expression and the biochemical characterization of the two "internal" glycosyltransferases CalG3 and CalG2 and the structural elucidation of an enediyne glycosyltransferase (CalG3). In conjunction with the previous characterization of the "external" CLM GTs CalG1 and CalG4, this study completes the functional assignment of all four CLM GTs, extends the utility of enediyne GT-catalyzed reaction reversibility, and presents conclusive evidence of a sequential glycosylation pathway in CLM biosynthesis. This work also reveals the common GT-B structural fold can now be extended to include enediyne GTs.

Role of phospholipid in the intermediate steps of the sodium-plus-potassium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase reaction.

Project description:The phosphorylation and dephosphorylation steps of the (Na-++K-+)-dependent ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase) (EC 3.6.1.3) reaction have been compared in 'normal', lipid-depleted and 'restored' membrane ATPase preparations. Partial lipid depletion was achieved by a single extraction with Lubrol W, and 'restoration' by adding pure phosphatidylserine. Gamma-32-P-labelled ATP was used for phosphorylation. The main findings were as follows. (1) Partial lipid depletion decreased but did not prevent Na-+-dependent phosphorylation, although it virtually abolished both Na-+-dependent and (Na-++K-+)-dependent ATPase activities. (2) 'Restoration' with phosphatidylserine produced an increment in phosphorylation that was the same in the presence and absence of added Na-+. (3) K-+ decreased the extent of Na-+-dependent phosphorylation of the depleted enzyme without producing a corresponding release of Pi. (4) K-+ rapidly decreased the extent of phosphorylation of the 'restored' enzyme to near-background value, with a concomitant release of Pi. (5) Na-+-dependent ATP hydrolysis was not restored. (6) The turnover of the 'restored' enzyme seemed to be higher than that of the 'normal' enzyme. The reaction sequence is discussed in relation to these results and the fact that the depleted enzyme retained about 50% of K-+-dependent phosphatase activity.
