Structure of the ATP synthase catalytic complex (F(1)) from Escherichia coli in an autoinhibited conformation.

ABSTRACT: ATP synthase is a membrane-bound rotary motor enzyme that is critical for cellular energy metabolism in all kingdoms of life. Despite conservation of its basic structure and function, autoinhibition by one of its rotary stalk subunits occurs in bacteria and chloroplasts but not in mitochondria. The crystal structure of the ATP synthase catalytic complex (F(1)) from Escherichia coli described here reveals the structural basis for this inhibition. The C-terminal domain of subunit ? adopts a heretofore unknown, highly extended conformation that inserts deeply into the central cavity of the enzyme and engages both rotor and stator subunits in extensive contacts that are incompatible with functional rotation. As a result, the three catalytic subunits are stabilized in a set of conformations and rotational positions distinct from previous F(1) structures.

Improved crystallization of Escherichia coli ATP synthase catalytic complex (F1) by introducing a phosphomimetic mutation in subunit ?.

Project description:The bacterial ATP synthase (F(O)F(1)) of Escherichia coli has been the prominent model system for genetics, biochemical and more recently single-molecule studies on F-type ATP synthases. With 22 total polypeptide chains (total mass of ?529?kDa), E. coli F(O)F(1) represents nature's smallest rotary motor, composed of a membrane-embedded proton transporter (F(O)) and a peripheral catalytic complex (F(1)). The ATPase activity of isolated F(1) is fully expressed by the ?(3)?(3)? 'core', whereas single ? and ? subunits are required for structural and functional coupling of E. coli F(1) to F(O). In contrast to mitochondrial F(1)-ATPases that have been determined to atomic resolution, the bacterial homologues have proven very difficult to crystallize. In this paper, we describe a biochemical strategy that led us to improve the crystallogenesis of the E. coli F(1)-ATPase catalytic core. Destabilizing the compact conformation of ?'s C-terminal domain with a phosphomimetic mutation (?S65D) dramatically increased crystallization success and reproducibility, yielding crystals of E. coli F(1) that diffract to ?3.15?Å resolution.

Role of Charged Residues in the Catalytic Sites of Escherichia coli ATP Synthase.

Project description:Here we describe the role of charged amino acids at the catalytic sites of Escherichia coli ATP synthase. There are four positively charged and four negatively charged residues in the vicinity of of E. coli ATP synthase catalytic sites. Positive charges are contributed by three arginine and one lysine, while negative charges are contributed by two aspartic acid and two glutamic acid residues. Replacement of arginine with a neutral amino acid has been shown to abrogate phosphate binding, while restoration of phosphate binding has been accomplished by insertion of arginine at the same or a nearby location. The number and position of positive charges plays a critical role in the proper and efficient binding of phosphate. However, a cluster of many positive charges inhibits phosphate binding. Moreover, the presence of negatively charged residues seems a requisite for the proper orientation and functioning of positively charged residues in the catalytic sites. This implies that electrostatic interactions between amino acids are an important constituent of initial phosphate binding in the catalytic sites. Significant loss of function in growth and ATPase activity assays in mutants generated through charge modulations has demonstrated that precise location and stereochemical interactions are of paramount importance.

Functional importance of ?Asp-350 in the catalytic sites of Escherichia coli ATP synthase.

Project description:Negatively charged residue ?Asp-350 of the highly conserved VISIT-DG sequence is required for Pi binding and maintenance of the phosphate-binding subdomain in the catalytic sites of Escherichia coli F1Fo ATP synthase. ?Asp-350 is situated in close proximity, 2.88?Å and 3.5?Å, to the conserved known phosphate-binding residues ?R376 and ?R182. ?D350 is also in close proximity, 1.3?Å, to another functionally important residue ?G351. Mutation of ?Asp-350 to Ala, Gln, or Arg resulted in substantial loss of oxidative phosphorylation and reduction in ATPase activity by 6- to 16-fold. The loss of the acidic side chain in the form of ?D350A, ?D350Q, and ?D350R caused loss of Pi binding. While removal of Arg in the form of ?R376D resulted in the loss of Pi binding, the addition of Arg in the form of ?G351R did not affect Pi binding. Our data demonstrates that ?D350R helps in the proper orientation of ?R376 and ?R182 for Pi binding. Fluoroaluminate, fluoroscandium, and sodium azide caused almost complete inhibition of wild type enzyme and caused variable inhibition of ?D350 mutant enzymes. NBD-Cl (4-chloro-7-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1, 3-diazole) caused complete inhibition of wild type enzyme while some residual activity was left in mutant enzymes. Inhibition characteristics supported the conclusion that NBD-Cl reacts in ?E (empty) catalytic sites. Phosphate protected against NBD-Cl inhibition of wild type and ?G351R mutant enzymes but not inhibition of ?D350A, ?D350Q, ?D350R, or ?R376D mutant enzymes. These results demonstrate that ?Asp-350 is an essential residue required for phosphate binding, through its interaction with ?R376 and ?R182, for normal function of phosphate binding subdomain and for transition state stabilization in ATP synthase catalytic sites.

Cryo-EM structures of the autoinhibited E. coli ATP synthase in three rotational states.

Project description:A molecular model that provides a framework for interpreting the wealth of functional information obtained on the E. coli F-ATP synthase has been generated using cryo-electron microscopy. Three different states that relate to rotation of the enzyme were observed, with the central stalk's ? subunit in an extended autoinhibitory conformation in all three states. The Fo motor comprises of seven transmembrane helices and a decameric c-ring and invaginations on either side of the membrane indicate the entry and exit channels for protons. The proton translocating subunit contains near parallel helices inclined by ~30° to the membrane, a feature now synonymous with rotary ATPases. For the first time in this rotary ATPase subtype, the peripheral stalk is resolved over its entire length of the complex, revealing the F1 attachment points and a coiled-coil that bifurcates toward the membrane with its helices separating to embrace subunit a from two sides.

Modulation of Escherichia coli serine acetyltransferase catalytic activity in the cysteine synthase complex.

Project description:In bacteria and plants, serine acetyltransferase (CysE) and O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase-A sulfhydrylase (CysK) collaborate to synthesize l-Cys from l-Ser. CysE and CysK bind one another with high affinity to form the cysteine synthase complex (CSC). We demonstrate that bacterial CysE is activated when bound to CysK. CysE activation results from the release of substrate inhibition, with the Ki for l-Ser increasing from 4 mm for free CysE to 16 mm for the CSC. Feedback inhibition of CysE by l-Cys is also relieved in the bacterial CSC. These findings suggest that the CysE active site is allosterically altered by CysK to alleviate substrate and feedback inhibition in the context of the CSC.

Functional importance of ?Ile-346 and ?Ile-348 in the catalytic sites of Escherichia coli ATP synthase.

Project description:We studied the functional role of highly conserved VISIT-DG sequence residues ?Ile-346 and ?Ile-348 in the catalytic sites of Escherichia coli F1Fo ATP synthase. ?Ile-346 is in close proximity, 2.98 and 3.63 Å, to the two known phosphate binding residues ?R376 and ?R182; ?Ile-348 is situated within 3.66 Å from ?R182. Single or double mutants of both ?I346 and ?I348 resulted in a variable loss of oxidative phosphorylation and ATPase activity. Azide, fluoroaluminate, and fluoroscandium caused insignificant to significant inhibition of mutants. Whereas the wild-type enzyme was completely inhibited by NBD-Cl (7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1, 3-diazole), a variable extent of inhibition was observed for ?I346 and ?I348 mutants. MgPi protection against NBD-Cl induced inhibition of wild-type, ?I346, and ?I348 demonstrated that, although strongly conserved, ?I346 and ?I348 have no direct role in phosphate binding. Insertion of Arginine in the form of ?I346R/?R182A, ?I346R/?R376A, or ?I348R/?R182A was able to compensate for the absence of known phosphate-binding Arginine residues ?R182 and ?R376. Results also suggest that ?Ile-346 and ?Ile-348 seem to have functional importance in upholding the phosphate-binding subdomain and transition state stabilization in the catalytic sites of E. coli ATP synthase.

Significance of αThr-349 in the catalytic sites of Escherichia coli ATP synthase.

Project description:This paper describes the role of α-subunit VISIT-DG sequence residue αThr-349 in the catalytic sites of Escherichia coli F1Fo ATP synthase. X-ray structures show the highly conserved αThr-349 in the proximity (2.68 Å) of the conserved phosphate binding residue βR182 in the phosphate binding subdomain. αT349A, -D, -Q, and -R mutations caused 90-100-fold losses of oxidative phosphorylation and reduced ATPase activity of F1Fo in membranes. Double mutation αT349R/βR182A was able to partially compensate for the absence of known phosphate binding residue βR182. Azide, fluoroaluminate, and fluoroscandium caused insignificant inhibition of αT349A, -D, and -Q mutants, slight inhibition of the αT349R mutant, partial inhibition of the αT349R/βR182A double mutant, and complete inhibition of the wild type. Whereas NBD-Cl (7-chloro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole) inhibited wild-type ATPase and its αT349A, -D, -R, and -Q mutants essentially completely, βR182A ATPase and double mutant αT349A/βR182A were inhibited partially. Inhibition characteristics supported the conclusion that NBD-Cl reacts in βE (empty) catalytic sites, as shown previously by X-ray structure analysis. Phosphate protected against NBD-Cl inhibition in the wild type, αT349R, and double mutant αT349R/βR182A but not in αT349A, αT349D, or αT349Q. The results demonstrate that αThr-349 is a supplementary residue involved in phosphate binding and transition state stabilization in ATP synthase catalytic sites through its interaction with βR182.

The regulatory subunit ? in Escherichia coli FOF1-ATP synthase.

Project description:F-type ATP synthases are extraordinary multisubunit proteins that operate as nanomotors. The Escherichia coli (E. coli) enzyme uses the proton motive force (pmf) across the bacterial plasma membrane to drive rotation of the central rotor subunits within a stator subunit complex. Through this mechanical rotation, the rotor coordinates three nucleotide binding sites that sequentially catalyze the synthesis of ATP. Moreover, the enzyme can hydrolyze ATP to turn the rotor in the opposite direction and generate pmf. The direction of net catalysis, i.e. synthesis or hydrolysis of ATP, depends on the cell's bioenergetic conditions. Different control mechanisms have been found for ATP synthases in mitochondria, chloroplasts and bacteria. This review discusses the auto-inhibitory behavior of subunit ? found in FOF1-ATP synthases of many bacteria. We focus on E. coli FOF1-ATP synthase, with insights into the regulatory mechanism of subunit ? arising from structural and biochemical studies complemented by single-molecule microscopy experiments.

Inhibition of Escherichia coli ATP synthase by amphibian antimicrobial peptides.

Project description:Previously melittin, the alpha-helical basic honey bee venom peptide, was shown to inhibit F(1)-ATPase by binding at the beta-subunit DELSEED motif of F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase. Herein, we present the inhibitory effects of the basic alpha-helical amphibian antimicrobial peptides, ascaphin-8, aurein 2.2, aurein 2.3, carein 1.8, carein 1.9, citropin 1.1, dermaseptin, maculatin 1.1, maganin II, MRP, or XT-7, on purified F(1) and membrane bound F(1)F(0)Escherichia coli ATP synthase. We found that the extent of inhibition by amphibian peptides is variable. Whereas MRP-amide inhibited ATPase essentially completely (approximately 96% inhibition), carein 1.8 did not inhibit at all (0% inhibition). Inhibition by other peptides was partial with a range of approximately 13-70%. MRP-amide was also the most potent inhibitor on molar scale (IC(50) approximately 3.25 microM). Presence of an amide group at the c-terminal of peptides was found to be critical in exerting potent inhibition of ATP synthase ( approximately 20-40% additional inhibition). Inhibition was fully reversible and found to be identical in both F(1)F(0) membrane preparations as well as in isolated purified F(1). Interestingly, growth of E. coli was abrogated in the presence of ascaphin-8, aurein 2.2, aurein 2.3, citropin 1.1, dermaseptin, magainin II-amide, MRP, MRP-amide, melittin, or melittin-amide but was unaffected in the presence of carein 1.8, carein 1.9, maculatin 1.1, magainin II, or XT-7. Hence inhibition of F(1)-ATPase and E. coli cell growth by amphibian antimicrobial peptides suggests that their antimicrobial/anticancer properties are in part linked to their actions on ATP synthase.

Crystal structure of the Formin mDia1 in autoinhibited conformation.

Project description:Formin proteins utilize a conserved formin homology 2 (FH2) domain to nucleate new actin filaments. In mammalian diaphanous-related formins (DRFs) the FH2 domain is inhibited through an unknown mechanism by intramolecular binding of the diaphanous autoinhibitory domain (DAD) and the diaphanous inhibitory domain (DID).Here we report the crystal structure of a complex between DID and FH2-DAD fragments of the mammalian DRF, mDia1 (mammalian diaphanous 1 also called Drf1 or p140mDia). The structure shows a tetrameric configuration (4 FH2 + 4 DID) in which the actin-binding sites on the FH2 domain are sterically occluded. However biochemical data suggest the full-length mDia1 is a dimer in solution (2 FH2 + 2 DID). Based on the crystal structure, we have generated possible dimer models and found that architectures of all of these models are incompatible with binding to actin filament but not to actin monomer. Furthermore, we show that the minimal functional monomeric unit in the FH2 domain, termed the bridge element, can be inhibited by isolated monomeric DID. NMR data on the bridge-DID system revealed that at least one of the two actin-binding sites on the bridge element is accessible to actin monomer in the inhibited state.Our findings suggest that autoinhibition in the native DRF dimer involves steric hindrance with the actin filament. Although the structure of a full-length DRF would be required for clarification of the presented models, our work here provides the first structural insights into the mechanism of the DRF autoinhibition.
