In crystallo posttranslational modification within a MauG/pre-methylamine dehydrogenase complex.

ABSTRACT: MauG is a diheme enzyme responsible for the posttranslational modification of two tryptophan residues to form the tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ) cofactor of methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH). MauG converts preMADH, containing monohydroxylated betaTrp57, to fully functional MADH by catalyzing the insertion of a second oxygen atom into the indole ring and covalently linking betaTrp57 to betaTrp108. We have solved the x-ray crystal structure of MauG complexed with preMADH to 2.1 angstroms. The c-type heme irons and the nascent TTQ site are separated by long distances over which electron transfer must occur to achieve catalysis. In addition, one of the hemes has an atypical His-Tyr axial ligation. The crystalline protein complex is catalytically competent; upon addition of hydrogen peroxide, MauG-dependent TTQ synthesis occurs.

Characterization of electron tunneling and hole hopping reactions between different forms of MauG and methylamine dehydrogenase within a natural protein complex.

Project description:Respiration, photosynthesis, and metabolism require the transfer of electrons through and between proteins over relatively long distances. It is critical that this electron transfer (ET) occur with specificity to avoid cellular damage, and at a rate that is sufficient to support the biological activity. A multistep hole hopping mechanism could, in principle, enhance the efficiency of long-range ET through proteins as it does in organic semiconductors. To explore this possibility, two different ET reactions that occur over the same distance within the protein complex of the diheme enzyme MauG and different forms of methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH) were subjected to kinetic and thermodynamic analysis. An ET mechanism of single-step direct electron tunneling from diferrous MauG to the quinone form of MADH is consistent with the data. In contrast, the biosynthetic ET from preMADH, which contains incompletely synthesized tryptophan tryptophylquinone, to the bis-Fe(IV) form of MauG is best described by a two-step hole hopping mechanism. Experimentally determined ET distances matched the distances determined from the crystal structure that would be expected for single-step tunneling and multistep hopping. Experimentally determined relative values of electronic coupling (H(AB)) for the two reactions correlated well with the relative H(AB) values predicted from computational analysis of the structure. The rate of the hopping-mediated ET reaction is also 10-fold greater than that of the single-step tunneling reaction despite a smaller overall driving force for the hopping-mediated ET reaction. These data provide insight into how the intervening protein matrix and redox potentials of the electron donor and acceptor determine whether the ET reaction proceeds via single-step tunneling or multistep hopping.

Crystal structures of CO and NO adducts of MauG in complex with pre-methylamine dehydrogenase: implications for the mechanism of dioxygen activation.

Project description:MauG is a diheme enzyme responsible for the post-translational formation of the catalytic tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ) cofactor in methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH). MauG can utilize hydrogen peroxide, or molecular oxygen and reducing equivalents, to complete this reaction via a catalytic bis-Fe(IV) intermediate. Crystal structures of diferrous, Fe(II)-CO, and Fe(II)-NO forms of MauG in complex with its preMADH substrate have been determined and compared to one another as well as to the structure of the resting diferric MauG-preMADH complex. CO and NO each bind exclusively to the 5-coordinate high-spin heme with no change in ligation of the 6-coordinate low-spin heme. These structures reveal likely roles for amino acid residues in the distal pocket of the high-spin heme in oxygen binding and activation. Glu113 is implicated in the protonation of heme-bound diatomic oxygen intermediates in promoting cleavage of the O-O bond. Pro107 is shown to change conformation on the binding of each ligand and may play a steric role in oxygen activation by positioning the distal oxygen near Glu113. Gln103 is in a position to provide a hydrogen bond to the Fe(IV)═O moiety that may account for the unusual stability of this species in MauG.

A Trp199Glu MauG variant reveals a role for Trp199 interactions with pre-methylamine dehydrogenase during tryptophan tryptophylquinone biosynthesis.

Project description:MauG catalyzes posttranslational modifications of a methylamine dehydrogenase precursor (preMADH) to complete the biosynthesis of its protein-derived tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ) cofactor. Trp199 is present at the site of interaction between MauG and preMADH and is critical to this process as it mediates hole hopping during the inter-protein electron transfer that is required for catalysis. Trp199 was converted to Glu and the structure and reactivity of the W199E/preMADH complex were characterized. The results reveal that the nature of residue 199 is also important for productive complex formation between preMADH and MauG.

Long-range electron transfer reactions between hemes of MauG and different forms of tryptophan tryptophylquinone of methylamine dehydrogenase.

Project description:The diheme enzyme MauG catalyzes the post-translational modification of a precursor protein of methylamine dehydrogenase (preMADH) to complete the biosynthesis of its protein-derived tryptophan tryptophylquinone (TTQ) cofactor. This six-electron oxidation of preMADH requires long-range electron transfer (ET) as the structure of the MauG-preMADH complex reveals that the shortest distance between the modified residues of preMADH and the nearest heme of MauG is 14.0 A [Jensen, L. M. R., Sanishvili, R., Davidson, V. L., and Wilmot, C. M. (2010) Science 327, 1392-1394]. The kinetics of two ET reactions between MADH and MauG have been analyzed. Interprotein ET from quinol MADH to the high-valent bis-Fe(IV) form of MauG exhibits a K(d) of 11.2 microM and a rate constant of 20 s(-1). ET from diferrous MauG to oxidized TTQ of MADH exhibits a K(d) of 10.1 microM and a rate constant of 0.07 s(-1). These similar K(d) values are much greater than that for the MauG-preMADH complex, indicating that the extent of TTQ maturity rather than its redox state influences complex formation. The difference in rate constants is consistent with a larger driving force for the faster reaction. Analysis of the structure of the MauG-preMADH complex in the context of ET theory and these results suggests that direct electron tunneling between the residues that form TTQ and the five-coordinate oxygen-binding heme is not possible, and that ET requires electron hopping via the six-coordinate heme.

Posttranslational modification of plant microtubules.

Project description:Microtubules in eukaryotes have a number of posttranslational modifications catalyzed by an array of enzymes. These modifications alter the properties of the microtubules and the ways in which they interact with partner proteins. In recent years many of the enzymes which modify the microtubules have been identified in animals and protozoans. Relatively little work has been done on their function in plants, however. This study uses bioinformatics to identify homologues of these enzymes in plant species from the green alga Chlamydomonas reiinhardtii to the angiosperm Arabidopsis thaliana. Many are conserved and this gives insight into the likely future direction of this dynamic field.

Posttranslational modification of mammalian AP endonuclease (APE1).

Project description:A key issue in studying mammalian DNA base excision repair is how its component proteins respond to a plethora of cell-signaling mediators invoked by DNA damage and stress-inducing agents such as reactive oxygen species, and how the actions of individual BER proteins are attributed to cell survival or apoptotic/necrotic death. This article reviews the past and recent progress on posttranslational modification (PTM) of mammalian apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease 1 (APE1).

Structures of MauG in complex with quinol and quinone MADH.

Project description:MauG has been cocrystallized with methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH) with its TTQ cofactor in the o-quinol (TTQOQ) and quinone (TTQOX) forms and the structures of the resulting complexes have been solved. The TTQOQ structure crystallized in either space group P21 or C2, while the TTQOX structure crystallized in space group P1. The previously solved structure of MauG in complex with MADH bearing an incompletely formed TTQ cofactor (preMADH) also crystallized in space group P1, although with different unit-cell parameters. Despite the changes in crystal form, the structures are virtually identical, with only very minor changes at the protein-protein interface. The relevance of these structures with respect to the measured changes in affinity between MauG and various forms of MADH is discussed.

Posttranslational modification of flagellin FlaB in Shewanella oneidensis.

Project description:Shewanella oneidensis is a highly motile organism by virtue of a polar, glycosylated flagellum composed of flagellins FlaA and FlaB. In this study, the functional flagellin FlaB was isolated and analyzed with nano-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem MS. In combination with the mutational analysis, we propose that the FlaB flagellin protein from S. oneidensis is modified at five serine residues with a series of novel O-linked posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that differ from each other by 14 Da. These PTMs are composed in part of a 274-Da sugar residue that bears a resemblance to the nonulosonic acids. The remainder appears to be composed of a second residue whose mass varies by 14 Da depending on the PTM. Further investigation revealed that synthesis of the glycans initiates with PseB and PseC, the first two enzymes of the Pse pathway. In addition, a number of lysine residues are found to be methylated by SO4160, an analogue of the lysine methyltransferase of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.

RPE65 Palmitoylation: A Tale of Lipid Posttranslational Modification.

Project description:RPE65, the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) smooth endoplasmic reticulum (sER) membrane-associated retinoid isomerase, plays an indispensable role in sustaining visual function in vertebrates. An important aspect which has attracted considerable attention is the posttranslational modification by S-palmitoylation of RPE65. Some studies show that RPE65 is a palmitoylated protein, but others deny that conclusion. While it is considered to be mainly responsible for RPE65's membrane association, we still lack conclusive evidence about RPE65 palmitoylation. In this review, we provide an overview of the history and current understanding of RPE65 palmitoylation.
