Structure of flap endonuclease 1 from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Desulfurococcus amylolyticus.

ABSTRACT: Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is a key enzyme in DNA repair and DNA replication. It is a structure-specific nuclease that removes 5'-overhanging flaps and the RNA/DNA primer during maturation of the Okazaki fragment. Homologues of FEN1 exist in a wide range of bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes. In order to further understand the structural basis of the DNA recognition, binding and cleavage mechanism of FEN1, the structure of FEN1 from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Desulfurococcus amylolyticus (DaFEN1) was determined at 2.00?Å resolution. The overall fold of DaFEN1 was similar to those of other archaeal FEN1 proteins; however, the helical clamp and the flexible loop exhibited a putative substrate-binding pocket with a unique conformation.

Efficient strand transfer by the RadA recombinase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Desulfurococcus amylolyticus.

Project description:The radA gene predicted to be responsible for homologous recombination in a hyperthermophilic archaeon, Desulfurococcus amylolyticus, was cloned, sequenced, and overexpressed in Escherichia coli cells. The deduced amino acid sequence of the gene product, RadA, was more similar to the human Rad51 protein (65% homology) than to the E. coli RecA protein (35%). A highly purified RadA protein was shown to exclusively catalyze single-stranded DNA-dependent ATP hydrolysis, which monitored presynaptic recombinational complex formation, at temperatures above 65 degrees C (catalytic rate constant of 1.2 to 2.5 min(-1) at 80 to 95 degrees C). The RadA protein alone efficiently promoted the strand exchange reaction at the range of temperatures from 80 to 90 degrees C, i.e., at temperatures approaching the melting point of DNA. It is noteworthy that both ATP hydrolysis and strand exchange are very efficient at temperatures optimal for host cell growth (90 to 92 degrees C).

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) from Desulfurococcus amylolyticus.

Project description:Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is a structure-specific nuclease that removes 5'-overhanging flaps in DNA repair and removes the RNA/DNA primer during maturation of the Okazaki fragment in lagging-strand DNA replication. FEN1 from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Desulfurococcus amylolyticus was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method with monoammonium dihydrogen phosphate as the precipitant at pH 8.3. X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.00 A resolution. The space group of the crystal was determined as the primitive hexagonal space group P321, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 103.76, c = 84.58 A. The crystal contained one molecule in the asymmetric unit.

Formate Utilization by the Crenarchaeon <i>Desulfurococcus amylolyticus</i>.

Project description:Formate is one of the key compounds of the microbial carbon and/or energy metabolism. It owes a significant contribution to various anaerobic syntrophic associations, and may become one of the energy storage compounds of modern energy biotechnology. Microbial growth on formate was demonstrated for different bacteria and archaea, but not yet for species of the archaeal phylum Crenarchaeota. Here, we show that Desulfurococcus amylolyticus DSM 16532, an anaerobic and hyperthermophilic Crenarchaeon, metabolises formate without the production of molecular hydrogen. Growth, substrate uptake, and production kinetics on formate, glucose, and glucose/formate mixtures exhibited similar specific growth rates and similar final cell densities. A whole cell conversion experiment on formate revealed that D. amylolyticus converts formate into carbon dioxide, acetate, citrate, and ethanol. Using bioinformatic analysis, we examined whether one of the currently known and postulated formate utilisation pathways could be operative in D. amylolyticus. This analysis indicated the possibility that D. amylolyticus uses formaldehyde producing enzymes for the assimilation of formate. Therefore, we propose that formate might be assimilated into biomass through formaldehyde dehydrogenase and the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway. These findings shed new light on the metabolic versatility of the archaeal phylum Crenarchaeota.

Structure of the dodecamer of the aminopeptidase APDkam598 from the archaeon Desulfurococcus kamchatkensis.

Project description:The crystal structure of the aminopeptidase APDkam589 from the thermophilic crenarchaeon Desulfurococcus kamchatkensis was determined at a resolution of 3.0?Å. In the crystal, the monomer of APDkam589 and its symmetry-related monomers are densely packed to form a 12-subunit complex. Single-particle electron-microscopy analysis confirms that APDkam589 is present as a compact dodecamer in solution. The APDkam589 molecule is built similarly to the molecules of the PhTET peptidases, which have the highest sequence identity to APDkam589 among known structures and were isolated from the more thermostable archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii. A comparison of the interactions of the subunits in APDkam589 with those in PhTET1, PhTET2 and PhTET3 reveals that APDkam589 has a much lower total number of salt bridges, which correlates with the lower thermostability of APDkam589. The monomer of APDkam589 has six Trp residues, five of which are on the external surface of the dodecamer. A superposition of the structure of APDkam589 with those having a high sequence similarity to APDkam589 reveals that, although the positions of Trp45, Trp252 and Trp358 are not conserved in the sequences, the spatial locations of the Trp residues in these models are similar.

Metabolic reconstruction and experimental verification of glucose utilization in Desulfurococcus amylolyticus DSM 16532.

Project description:Desulfurococcus amylolyticus DSM 16532 is an anaerobic and hyperthermophilic crenarchaeon known to grow on a variety of different carbon sources, including monosaccharides and polysaccharides. Furthermore, D. amylolyticus is one of the few archaea that are known to be able to grow on cellulose. Here, we present the metabolic reconstruction of D. amylolyticus' central carbon metabolism. Based on the published genome, the metabolic reconstruction was completed by integrating complementary information available from the KEGG, BRENDA, UniProt, NCBI, and PFAM databases, as well as from available literature. The genomic analysis of D. amylolyticus revealed genes for both the classical and the archaeal version of the Embden-Meyerhof pathway. The metabolic reconstruction highlighted gaps in carbon dioxide-fixation pathways. No complete carbon dioxide-fixation pathway such as the reductive citrate cycle or the dicarboxylate-4-hydroxybutyrate cycle could be identified. However, the metabolic reconstruction indicated that D. amylolyticus harbors all genes necessary for glucose metabolization. Closed batch experimental verification of glucose utilization by D. amylolyticus was performed in chemically defined medium. The findings from in silico analyses and from growth experiments are discussed with respect to physiological features of hyperthermophilic organisms.

Structure of peroxiredoxin from the anaerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii.

Project description:The crystal structure of peroxiredoxin from the anaerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii (PhPrx) was determined at a resolution of 2.25 Å. The overall structure was a ring-type decamer consisting of five homodimers. Citrate, which was included in the crystallization conditions, was bound to the peroxidatic cysteine of the active site, with two O atoms of the carboxyl group mimicking those of the substrate hydrogen peroxide. PhPrx lacked the C-terminal tail that forms a 32-residue extension of the protein in the homologous peroxiredoxin from Aeropyrum pernix (ApPrx).

Crystal structure of acylphosphatase from hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3

Project description:Analysis of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 genome database led to the discovery and cloning of acylphosphatase (ORF PH0305a). To elucidate the first structure of archaeal acylphosphatase, we determined the crystal structure of P. horikoshii acylphosphatase at 1.72 Å resolution. The space group of the crystals was P3221, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 86.6 Å and c = 75.4 Å. The overall fold of P. horikoshii acylphosphatase was very similar to the structures of the eukaryotic enzymes. The conformation of putative active site was highly conserved.
