We have used single-molecule fluorescence microscopy to study the folded state of human telomerase RNA (hTR). Here we show that hTR adopts a new conformation on binding to human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and reconstitution of an active ribonucleoprotein complex. Our data are consistent with the formation of an RNA pseudoknot in active human telomerase. ...[more]

Project description:Ribonucleoprotein enzymes require dynamic conformations of their RNA constituents for regulated catalysis. Human telomerase employs a non-coding RNA (hTR) with a bipartite arrangement of domains-a template-containing core and a distal three-way junction (CR4/5) that stimulates catalysis through unknown means. Here, we show that telomerase activity unexpectedly depends upon the holoenzyme protein TCAB1, which in turn controls conformation of CR4/5. Cells lacking TCAB1 exhibit a marked reduction in telomerase catalysis without affecting enzyme assembly. Instead, TCAB1 inactivation causes unfolding of CR4/5 helices that are required for catalysis and for association with the telomerase reverse-transcriptase (TERT). CR4/5 mutations derived from patients with telomere biology disorders provoke defects in catalysis and TERT binding similar to TCAB1 inactivation. These findings reveal a conformational "activity switch" in human telomerase RNA controlling catalysis and TERT engagement. The identification of two discrete catalytic states for telomerase suggests an intramolecular means for controlling telomerase in cancers and progenitor cells.

Project description:Telomerase extends the 3'-ends of linear chromosomes by adding conserved telomeric DNA repeats and is essential for cell proliferation and genomic stability. Telomerases from all organisms contain a telomerase reverse transcriptase and a telomerase RNA (TER), which together provide the minimal functional elements for catalytic activity in vitro. The RNA component of many functional ribonucleoproteins contains modified nucleotides, including conserved pseudouridines (?s) that can have subtle effects on structure and activity. We have identified potential ? modification sites in human TER. Two of the predicted ?s are located in the loop of the essential P6.1 hairpin from the CR4-CR5 domain that is critical for telomerase catalytic activity. We investigated the effect of P6.1 pseudouridylation on its solution NMR structure, thermodynamic stability of folding and telomerase activation in vitro. The pseudouridylated P6.1 has a significantly different loop structure and increase in stability compared to the unmodified P6.1. The extent of loop nucleotide interaction with adjacent residues more closely parallels the extent of loop nucleotide evolutionary sequence conservation in the ?-modified P6.1 structure. Pseudouridine-modification of P6.1 slightly attenuates telomerase activity but slightly increases processivity in vitro. Our results suggest that ?s could have a subtle influence on human telomerase activity via impact on TER-TERT or TER-TER interactions.

Project description:Sialic acids on glycoconjugates play a pivotal role in many biological processes. In the airways, sialylated glycoproteins and glycolipids are strategically positioned on the plasma membranes of epithelia to regulate receptor-ligand, cell-cell, and host-pathogen interactions at the molecular level. We now demonstrate, for the first time, sialidase activity for ganglioside substrates in human airway epithelia. Of the four known mammalian sialidases, NEU3 has a substrate preference for gangliosides and is expressed at mRNA and protein levels at comparable abundance in epithelia derived from human trachea, bronchi, small airways, and alveoli. In small airway and alveolar epithelia, NEU3 protein was immunolocalized to the plasma membrane, cytosolic, and nuclear subcellular fractions. Small interfering RNA-induced silencing of NEU3 expression diminished sialidase activity for a ganglioside substrate by >70%. NEU3 immunostaining of intact human lung tissue could be localized to the superficial epithelia, including the ciliated brush border, as well as to nuclei. However, NEU3 was reduced in subepithelial tissues. These results indicate that human airway epithelia express catalytically active NEU3 sialidase.

Project description:Telomerase contains a large RNA subunit, TER, and a protein catalytic subunit, TERT. Whether telomerase functions as a monomer or dimer has been a matter of debate. Here we report biochemical and labeling data that show that in vivo-assembled human telomerase contains two TERT subunits and binds two telomeric DNA substrates. Notably, catalytic activity requires both TERT active sites to be functional, which demonstrates that human telomerase functions as a dimer. We also present the three-dimensional structure of the active full-length human telomerase dimer, determined by single-particle EM in negative stain. Telomerase has a bilobal architecture with the two monomers linked by a flexible interface. The monomer reconstruction at 23-Å resolution and fitting of the atomic structure of the TERT subunit from beetle Tribolium castaneum into the EM density reveals the spatial relationship between RNA and protein subunits, providing insights into telomerase architecture.

Project description:Telomerase is a cellular reverse transcriptase, which utilizes an integral RNA template to extend single-stranded telomeric DNA. We used site-specific photocrosslinking to map interactions between DNA primers and the catalytic protein subunit (tTERT) of Tetrahymena thermophila telomerase in functional enzyme complexes. Our assays reveal contact of the single-stranded DNA adjacent to the primer-template hybrid and tTERT residue W187 at the periphery of the N-terminal domain. This contact was detected in complexes with three different registers of template in the active site, suggesting that it is maintained throughout synthesis of a complete telomeric repeat. Substitution of nearby residue Q168, but not W187, alters the K(m) for primer elongation, implying that it plays a role in the DNA recognition. These findings are the first to directly demonstrate the physical location of TERT-DNA contacts in catalytically active telomerase and to identify amino acid determinants of DNA binding affinity. Our data also suggest a movement of the TERT active site relative to the template-adjacent single-stranded DNA binding site within a cycle of repeat synthesis.

Project description:Telomerase is a unique reverse transcriptase that catalyzes the addition of telomere DNA repeats onto the 3' ends of linear chromosomes and plays a critical role in maintaining genome stability. Unlike other reverse transcriptases, telomerase is unique in that it is a ribonucleoprotein complex, where the RNA component [telomerase RNA (TR)] not only provides the template for the synthesis of telomere DNA repeats but also plays essential roles in catalysis, accumulation, TR 3'-end processing, localization, and holoenzyme assembly. Biochemical studies have identified TR elements essential for catalysis that share remarkably conserved secondary structures across different species as well as species-specific domains for other functions, paving the way for high-resolution structure determination of TRs. Over the past decade, structures of key elements from the core, conserved regions 4 and 5, and small Cajal body specific RNA domains of human TR have emerged, providing significant insights into the roles of these RNA elements in telomerase function. Structures of all helical elements of the core domain have been recently reported, providing the basis for a high-resolution model of the complete core domain. We review this progress to determine the overall architecture of human telomerase RNA.

Project description:Tyrosine kinases are enzymes playing a critical role in cellular signaling. Molecular dynamics umbrella sampling potential of mean force computations are used to quantify the impact of activating and inactivating mutations of c-Src kinase. The potential of mean force computations predict that a specific double mutant can stabilize c-Src kinase into an active-like conformation while disabling the binding of ATP in the catalytic active site. The active-like conformational equilibrium of this catalytically dead kinase is affected by a hydrophobic unit that connects to the hydrophobic spine network via the C-helix. The ?C-helix plays a crucial role in integrating the hydrophobic residues, making it a hub for allosteric regulation of kinase activity and the active conformation. The computational free-energy landscapes reported here illustrate novel design principles focusing on the important role of the hydrophobic spines. The relative stability of the spines could be exploited in future efforts to artificially engineer active-like but catalytically dead forms of protein kinases.

Project description:Cell proliferation is associated with increased energy and nutrients consumption. Metabolism switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis and telomerase activity are induced during stimulation of proliferation, such as tumorigenesis, immune cell activation, and stem cell differentiation, among others. Telomerase RNA is one of the core components of the telomerase complex and participates in survival mechanisms that are activated under stress conditions. Human telomerase RNA protein (hTERP) is encoded by telomerase RNA and has been recently shown to be involved in autophagy regulation. In this study, we demonstrated the role of hTERP in the modulation of signaling pathways regulating autophagy, protein biosynthesis, and cell proliferation. The AMPK signaling pathway was affected in cells deficient of hTERP and when hTERP was overexpressed. The appearance of hTERP is important for metabolism switching associated with the accelerated proliferation of cells in healthy and pathological processes. These findings demonstrate the connection between telomerase RNA biogenesis and function and signaling pathways.

Project description:Telomerase adds telomeric repeats onto chromosome ends and is almost universally upregulated in human cancers. Here we demonstrate that RNA:RNA pairing regulates splicing of the catalytic subunit of human telomerase (TERT). Human alleles contain a variable number of 38 bp repeats within TERT intron 6 (>1 kb from exon-intron junctions). At least nine repeats are required for generating the major non-functional 'minus beta' isoform, which skips exons 7 and 8. RNA:RNA pairing between the repeats and the pre-mRNA might bring exons 6 and 9 closer, thereby promoting exon skipping. To demonstrate this, we show that mutations within the repeat that abolish exon skipping are corrected by compensatory mutations in the pre-mRNA. This study thus identifies RNA:RNA pairing by repetitive sequences as a novel form of alternative splicing regulation in a gene crucial for cancer survival and sheds new light on functional roles for short repetitive sequences embedded deep within introns throughout the genome.

Project description:The past decade has seen an increasing number of investigations into enhanced diffusion of catalytically active enzymes. These studies suggested that enzymes are actively propelled as they catalyze reactions or bind with ligands (e.g., substrates or inhibitors). In this Outlook, we chronologically summarize and discuss the experimental observations and theoretical interpretations and emphasize the potential contradictions in these efforts. We point out that the existing multimeric forms of enzymes or isozymes may cause artifacts in measurements and that the conformational changes upon substrate binding are usually not sufficient to give rise to a diffusion enhancement greater than 30%. Therefore, more rigorous experiments and a more comprehensive theory are urgently needed to quantitatively validate and describe the enhanced enzyme diffusion.
