Structure of the MxA stalk elucidates the assembly of ring-like units of an antiviral module.

ABSTRACT: The dynamin-like MxA GTP ase (Myxovirus resistance protein 1) mediates cellular resistance against a wide range of viruses. MxA is composed of an amino-terminal G domain, a middle domain and a carboxy-terminal GTPase effector domain. We recently determined the structure of the middle domain and GTPase effector domain of MxA constituting an elongated helical stalk, and elucidated the mechanism how the stalk mediates formation of ring-like MxA oligomers. Here, we shortly review our work and discuss the MxA rings as functional units of a cellular module orchestrating and executing the antiviral response.

The structure of the cohesin ATPase elucidates the mechanism of SMC-kleisin ring opening.

Project description:Genome regulation requires control of chromosome organization by SMC-kleisin complexes. The cohesin complex contains the Smc1 and Smc3 subunits that associate with the kleisin Scc1 to form a ring-shaped complex that can topologically engage chromatin to regulate chromatin structure. Release from chromatin involves opening of the ring at the Smc3-Scc1 interface in a reaction that is controlled by acetylation and engagement of the Smc ATPase head domains. To understand the underlying molecular mechanisms, we have determined the 3.2-Å resolution cryo-electron microscopy structure of the ATPγS-bound, heterotrimeric cohesin ATPase head module and the 2.1-Å resolution crystal structure of a nucleotide-free Smc1-Scc1 subcomplex from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Chaetomium thermophilium. We found that ATP-binding and Smc1-Smc3 heterodimerization promote conformational changes within the ATPase that are transmitted to the Smc coiled-coil domains. Remodeling of the coiled-coil domain of Smc3 abrogates the binding surface for Scc1, thus leading to ring opening at the Smc3-Scc1 interface.

An evolutionary perspective on the broad antiviral specificity of MxA.

Project description:Germ line encoded antiviral defenses in vertebrate cells tend to be either broadly acting factors that exploit general features of viral replication or effectors with strong pathogen preference by virtue of specific recognition of viral proteins. The Mx GTPases, however, are atypical since they have broad antiviral activity against a wide range of RNA and DNA viruses despite specifically targeting different proteins across virus families. This review presents recent advances in understanding the biochemical properties and evolution of the primate ortholog MxA, and discusses how this information begins to provide molecular insights into the mechanisms behind the intriguing conundrum of how MxA is able to engage a diversity of viral proteins yet elicit antiviral breadth.

Dynamin-like MxA GTPase: structural insights into oligomerization and implications for antiviral activity.

Project description:The interferon-inducible MxA GTPase is a key mediator of cell-autonomous innate immunity against a broad range of viruses such as influenza and bunyaviruses. MxA shares a similar domain structure with the dynamin superfamily of mechanochemical enzymes, including an N-terminal GTPase domain, a central middle domain, and a C-terminal GTPase effector domain. Recently, crystal structures of a GTPase domain dimer of dynamin 1 and of the oligomerized stalk of MxA (built by the middle and GTPase effector domains) were determined. These data provide exciting insights into the architecture and antiviral function of the MxA oligomer. Moreover, the structural knowledge paves the way for the development of novel antiviral drugs against influenza and other highly pathogenic viruses.

Crystal structure of a two-subunit TrkA octameric gating ring assembly.

Project description:The TM1088 locus of T. maritima codes for two proteins designated TM1088A and TM1088B, which combine to form the cytosolic portion of a putative Trk K+ transporter. We report the crystal structure of this assembly to a resolution of 3.45 Å. The high resolution crystal structures of the components of the assembly, TM1088A and TM1088B, were also determined independently to 1.50 Å and 1.55 Å, respectively. The TM1088 proteins are structurally homologous to each other and to other K+ transporter proteins, such as TrkA. These proteins form a cytosolic gating ring assembly that controls the flow of K+ ions across the membrane. TM1088 represents the first structure of a two-subunit Trk assembly. Despite the atypical genetics and chain organization of the TM1088 assembly, it shares significant structural homology and an overall quaternary organization with other single-subunit K+ gating ring assemblies. This structure provides the first structural insights into what may be an evolutionary ancestor of more modern single-subunit K+ gating ring assemblies.

Structure and assembly of the NOT10:11 module of the CCR4-NOT complex.

Project description:NOT1, NOT10, and NOT11 form a conserved module in the CCR4-NOT complex, critical for post-transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes, but how this module contributes to the functions of the CCR4-NOT remains poorly understood. Here, we present cryo-EM structures of human and chicken NOT1:NOT10:NOT11 ternary complexes to sub-3 Å resolution, revealing an evolutionarily conserved, flexible structure. Through biochemical dissection studies, which include the Drosophila orthologs, we show that the module assembly is hierarchical, with NOT11 binding to NOT10, which then organizes it for binding to NOT1. A short proline-rich motif in NOT11 stabilizes the entire module assembly.

Vaccinia virus and Cowpox virus are not susceptible to the interferon-induced antiviral protein MxA.

Project description:MxA protein is expressed in response to type I and type III Interferon and constitute an important antiviral factor with broad antiviral activity to diverse RNA viruses. In addition, some studies expand the range of MxA antiviral activity to include particular DNA viruses like Monkeypox virus (MPXV) and African Swine Fever virus (ASFV). However, a broad profile of activity of MxA to large DNA viruses has not been established to date. Here, we investigated if some well characterized DNA viruses belonging to the Poxviridae family are sensitive to human MxA. A cell line inducibly expressing MxA to inhibitory levels showed no anti-Vaccinia virus (VACV) virus activity, indicating either lack of susceptibility of the virus, or the existence of viral factors capable of counteracting MxA inhibition. To determine if VACV resistance to MxA was due to a virus-encoded anti-MxA activity, we performed coinfections of VACV and the MxA-sensitive Vesicular Stomatitis virus (VSV), and show that VACV does not protect VSV from MxA inhibition in trans. Those results were extended to several VACV strains and two CPXV strains, thus confirming that those Orthopoxviruses do not block MxA action. Overall, these results point to a lack of susceptibility of the Poxviridae to MxA antiviral activity.

Assembly of the 81.6 Mb centromere of pea chromosome 6 elucidates the structure and evolution of metapolycentric chromosomes.

Project description:Centromeres in the legume genera Pisum and Lathyrus exhibit unique morphological characteristics, including extended primary constrictions and multiple separate domains of centromeric chromatin. These so-called metapolycentromeres resemble an intermediate form between monocentric and holocentric types, and therefore provide a great opportunity for studying the transitions between different types of centromere organizations. However, because of the exceedingly large and highly repetitive nature of metapolycentromeres, highly contiguous assemblies needed for these studies are lacking. Here, we report on the assembly and analysis of a 177.6 Mb region of pea (Pisum sativum) chromosome 6, including the 81.6 Mb centromere region (CEN6) and adjacent chromosome arms. Genes, DNA methylation profiles, and most of the repeats were uniformly distributed within the centromere, and their densities in CEN6 and chromosome arms were similar. The exception was an accumulation of satellite DNA in CEN6, where it formed multiple arrays up to 2 Mb in length. Centromeric chromatin, characterized by the presence of the CENH3 protein, was predominantly associated with arrays of three different satellite repeats; however, five other satellites present in CEN6 lacked CENH3. The presence of CENH3 chromatin was found to determine the spatial distribution of the respective satellites during the cell cycle. Finally, oligo-FISH painting experiments, performed using probes specifically designed to label the genomic regions corresponding to CEN6 in Pisum, Lathyrus, and Vicia species, revealed that metapolycentromeres evolved via the expansion of centromeric chromatin into neighboring chromosomal regions and the accumulation of novel satellite repeats. However, in some of these species, centromere evolution also involved chromosomal translocations and centromere repositioning.

Gene module reconstruction elucidates cellular differentiation processes and the regulatory logic of specialized secretion.

Project description:During differentiation, cells become structurally and functionally specialized, but comprehensive views of the underlying remodeling processes are elusive. Here, we leverage scRNA-seq developmental trajectories to reconstruct differentiation using two secretory tissues as a model system - the zebrafish notochord and hatching gland. First, we present an approach to integrate expression and functional similarities for gene module identification, revealing dozens of gene modules representing known and newly associated differentiation processes and their temporal ordering. Second, we focused on the unfolded protein response (UPR) transducer module to study how general versus cell-type specific secretory functions are regulated. By profiling loss- and gain-of-function embryos, we found that the UPR transcription factors creb3l1, creb3l2, and xbp1 are master regulators of a general secretion program. creb3l1/creb3l2 additionally activate an extracellular matrix secretion program, while xbp1 partners with bhlha15 to activate a gland-specific secretion program. Our study offers a multi-source integrated approach for functional gene module identification and illustrates how transcription factors confer general and specialized cellular functions.

CryoEM structure of a post-assembly MS-ring reveals plasticity in stoichiometry and conformation.

Project description:The flagellar motor supports bacterial chemotaxis, a process that allows bacteria to move in response to their environment. A central feature of this motor is the MS-ring, which is composed entirely of repeats of the FliF subunit. This MS-ring is critical for the assembly and stability of the flagellar switch and the entire flagellum. Despite multiple independent cryoEM structures of the MS-ring, there remains a debate about the stoichiometry and organization of the ring-building motifs (RBMs). Here, we report the cryoEM structure of a Salmonella MS-ring that was purified from the assembled flagellar switch complex (MSC-ring). We term this the 'post-assembly' state. Using 2D class averages, we show that under these conditions, the post-assembly MS-ring can contain 32, 33, or 34 FliF subunits, with 33 being the most common. RBM3 has a single location with C32, C33, or C34 symmetry. RBM2 is found in two locations with RBM2inner having C21 or C22 symmetry and an RBM2outer-RBM1 having C11 symmetry. Comparison to previously reported structures identifies several differences. Most strikingly, we find that the membrane domain forms 11 regions of discrete density at the base of the structure rather than a contiguous ring, although density could not be unambiguously interpreted. We further find density in some previously unresolved areas, and we assigned amino acids to those regions. Finally, we find differences in interdomain angles in RBM3 that affect the diameter of the ring. Together, these investigations support a model of the flagellum with structural plasticity, which may be important for flagellar assembly and function.

Heterohexameric ring arrangement of the eukaryotic proteasomal ATPases: implications for proteasome structure and assembly.

Project description:The proteasome has a paramount role in eukaryotic cell regulation. It consists of a proteolytic core particle (CP) bound to one or two regulatory particles (RPs). Each RP is believed to include six different AAA+ ATPases in a heterohexameric ring that binds the CP while unfolding and translocating substrates into the core. No atomic-resolution RP structures are available. Guided by crystal structures of related homohexameric prokaryotic ATPases, we use disulfide engineering to show that the eukaryotic ATPases form a ring with the arrangement Rpt1-Rpt2-Rpt6-Rpt3-Rpt4-Rpt5 in fully assembled proteasomes. The arrangement is consistent with known assembly intermediates. This quaternary organization clarifies the functional overlap of specific RP assembly chaperones and led us to identify a potential RP assembly intermediate that includes four ATPases (Rpt6-Rpt3-Rpt4-Rpt5) and their cognate chaperones (Rpn14, Nas6, and Nas2). Finally, the ATPase ring structure casts light on alternative RP structural models and the mechanism of RP action.
