Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of the NAD+-dependent deacetylase HST1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

ABSTRACT: The Saccharomyces cerevisiae NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase HST1 belongs to the class III HDAC family; it acts as a transcriptional corepressor for the specific middle sporulation and de novo NAD(+)-biosynthesis genes and also takes part in the SET3C and SUM1-RFM1-HST1 complexes. Structural information on HST1 and its related complexes would be helpful in order to understand the structural basis of its deacetylation mechanism and the assembly of these complexes. Here, HST1(156-503) was expressed and crystallized. Crystals grown by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method diffracted to 2.90 Å resolution and belonged to space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 40.2, b = 101.7, c = 43.9 Å, ? = 103.9°. Both Matthews coefficient analysis and the self-rotation function suggested the presence of four molecules per asymmetric unit in the crystal, with a solvent content of 49.76% (V(M) = 2.45 Å(3) Da(-1)).

Project description:BackgroundMitochondria are unique organelles that are found in most eukaryotic cells. The main role of the mitochondria is to produce ATP. The nuclear genome encoded proteins Cbs1 and Cbs2 are located at the mitochondrial inner membrane and are reported to be essential for the translation of mitochondrial cytochrome b mRNA. Genetic studies show that Cbs2 protein recognizes the 5' untranslated leader sequence of mitochondrial cytochrome b mRNA. However, due to a lack of biochemical and structural information, this biological process remains unclear. To investigate the structural characteristics of how Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) Cbs2 tethers cytochrome b mRNA to the mitochondrial inner membrane, a preliminary X-ray crystallographic study was carried out and is reported here.MethodsThe target gene from S. cerevisiae was amplified by polymerase chain reaction. The PCR fragment was digested by the NdeI and XhoI restriction endonucleases and then inserted into expression vector p28. After sequencing, the plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli C43 competent cells. The selenomethionine derivative Cbs2 protein was overexpressed using M9 medium based on a methionine-biosynthesis inhibition method. The protein was first purified to Ni2+-nitrilotriacetate affinity chromatography and then further purified by Ion exchange chromatography and Gel-filtration chromatography. The purified Se-Cbs2 protein was concentrated to 10 mg/mL. The crystallization trials were performed using the sitting-drop vapor diffusion method at 16 °C. The complete diffraction data was processed and scaled with the HKL2000 package and programs in the CCP4 package, respectively.ResultsCbs2 from S. cerevisiae was cloned, prokaryotic expressed and purified. The analysis of the size exclusion chromatography showed that the Cbs2 protein peaked at a molecular weight of approximately 90 KDa. The crystal belonged to the space group C2, with unit-cell parameters of a = 255.11, b = 58.10, c = 76.37, and β = 95.35°. X-ray diffraction data was collected at a resolution of 2.7 Å. The Matthews coefficient and the solvent content were estimated to be 3.22 Å 3 Da-1 and 61.82%, respectively.ConclusionsIn the present study Cbs2 from S. cerevisiae was cloned, expressed, purified, and crystallized for structural studies. The molecular weight determination results indicated that the biological assembly of Cbs2 may be a dimer.The preliminary X-ray crystallographic studies indicated the presence of two Cbs2 molecules in the asymmetric unit. This study will provide an experimental basis for exploring how Cbs2 protein mediates cytochrome b synthesis.
