Structure of the apo form of Bacillus stearothermophilus phosphofructokinase.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of the unliganded form of Bacillus stearothermophilus phosphofructokinase (BsPFK) was determined using molecular replacement to 2.8 Å resolution (Protein Data Bank entry 3U39 ). The apo BsPFK structure serves as the basis for the interpretation of any structural changes seen in the binary or ternary complexes. When the apo BsPFK structure is compared with the previously published liganded structures of BsPFK, the structural impact that the binding of the ligands produces is revealed. This comparison shows that the apo form of BsPFK resembles the substrate-bound form of BsPFK, a finding that differs from previous predictions.

Redefining the role of the quaternary shift in Bacillus stearothermophilus phosphofructokinase.

Project description:Bacillus stearothermophilus phosphofructokinase (BsPFK) is a homotetramer that is allosterically inhibited by phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), which binds along one dimer-dimer interface. The substrate, fructose 6-phosphate (Fru-6-P), binds along the other dimer-dimer interface. Evans et al. observed that the structure with inhibitor (phosphoglycolate) bound, compared to the structure of wild-type BsPFK with substrate and activator bound, exhibits a 7° rotation about the substrate-binding interface, termed the quaternary shift [Schirmer, T., and Evans, P. R. (1990) Nature 343, 140-145]. We report that the variant D12A BsPFK exhibits a 100-fold increase in its binding affinity for PEP, a 50-fold decrease in its binding affinity for Fru-6-P, but an inhibitory coupling comparable to that of the wild type. Crystal structures of the apo and PEP-bound forms of D12A BsPFK have been determined (Protein Data Bank entries 4I36 and 4I7E , respectively), and both indicate a shifted structure similar to the inhibitor-bound structure of the wild type. D12 does not directly bind to either substrate or inhibitor and is located along the substrate-binding interface. A conserved hydrogen bond between D12 and T156 forms across the substrate-binding subunit-subunit interface in the substrate-bound form of BsPFK. The variant T156A BsPFK, when compared to the wild type, shows a 30-fold increase in PEP binding affinity, a 17-fold decrease in Fru-6-P binding affinity, and an estimated coupling that is also approximately equal to that of the wild type. In addition, the T156A BsPFK crystal structure bound to PEP is reported (Protein Data Bank entry 4I4I ), and it exhibits a shifted structure similar to that of D12A BsPFK and the inhibitor-bound structure of the wild type. The results suggest that the main role of the quaternary shift may be to influence ligand binding and not to cause the heterotropic allosteric inhibition per se.

The effect of introducing small cavities on the allosteric inhibition of phosphofructokinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus.

Project description:The allosteric coupling free energy between ligands fructose-6-phosphate (Fru-6-P) and phospho(enol)pyruvate (PEP) for phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK) from the moderate thermophile, Bacillus stearothermophilus (BsPFK), results from compensating enthalpy and entropy components. In BsPFK the positive coupling free energy that defines inhibition is opposite in sign from the negative enthalpy term and is therefore determined by the larger absolute value of the negative entropy term. Variants of BsPFK were made to determine the effect of adding small cavities to the structure on the allosteric function of the enzyme. The BsPFK Ile ? Val (cavity containing) mutants have varied values for the coupling free energy between PEP and Fru-6-P, indicating that the modifications altered the effectiveness of PEP as an inhibitor. Notably, the mutation I153V had a substantial positive impact on the magnitude of inhibition by PEP. Van't Hoff analysis determined that this is the result of decreased entropy-enthalpy compensation with a larger change in the enthalpy term compared to the entropy term.

Crystal structure of human V-1 in the apo form.

Project description:V-1, also known as myotrophin, is a 13 kDa ankyrin-repeat protein that binds and inhibits the heterodimeric actin capping protein (CP), which is a key regulator of cytoskeletal actin dynamics. The crystal structure of V-1 in complex with CP revealed that V-1 recognizes CP via residues spanning several ankyrin repeats. Here, the crystal structure of human V-1 is reported in the absence of the specific ligand at 2.3 Å resolution. In the asymmetric unit, the crystal contains two V-1 monomers that exhibit nearly identical structures (Cα r.m.s.d. of 0.47 Å). The overall structures of the two apo V-1 chains are also highly similar to that of CP-bound V-1 (Cα r.m.s.d.s of <0.50 Å), indicating that CP does not induce a large conformational change in V-1. Detailed structural comparisons using the computational program All Atom Motion Tree revealed that CP binding can be accomplished by minor side-chain rearrangements of several residues. These findings are consistent with the known biological role of V-1, in which it globally inhibits CP in the cytoplasm.

Structure of the apo form of the catabolite control protein A (CcpA) from Bacillus megaterium with a DNA-binding domain.

Project description:Crystal structure determination of catabolite control protein A (CcpA) at 2.6 A resolution reveals for the first time the structure of a full-length apo-form LacI-GalR family repressor protein. In the crystal structures of these transcription regulators, the three-helix bundle of the DNA-binding domain has only been observed in cognate DNA complexes; it has not been observed in other crystal structures owing to its mobility. In the crystal packing of apo-CcpA, the protein-protein contacts between the N-terminal three-helix bundle and the core domain consisted of interactions between the homodimers that were similar to those between the corepressor protein HPr and the CcpA N-subdomain in the ternary DNA complex. In contrast to the DNA complex, the apo-CcpA structure reveals large subdomain movements in the core, resulting in a complete loss of contacts between the N-subdomains of the homodimer.

Structure and mechanism of action of a novel phosphoglycerate mutase from Bacillus stearothermophilus.

Project description:Bacillus stearothermophilus phosphoglycerate mutase (PGM), which interconverts 2- and 3-phosphoglyceric acid (PGA), does not require 2,3-diphosphoglyceric acid for activity. However, this enzyme does have an absolute and specific requirement for Mn(2+) ions for catalysis. Here we report the crystal structure of this enzyme complexed with 3PGA and manganese ions to 1.9 A resolution; this is the first crystal structure of a diphosphoglycerate-independent PGM to be determined. This information, plus the location of the two bound Mn(2+) ions and the 3PGA have allowed formulation of a possible catalytic mechanism for this PGM. In this mechanism Mn(2+) ions facilitate the transfer of the substrate's phosphate group to Ser62 to form a phosphoserine intermediate. In the subsequent phosphotransferase part of the reaction, the phosphate group is transferred from Ser62 to the O2 or O3 positions of the reoriented glycerate to yield the PGA product. Site-directed mutagenesis studies were used to confirm our mechanism and the involvement of specific enzyme residues in Mn(2+) binding and catalysis.

Solution structure of the C1-subdomain of Bacillus stearothermophilus translation initiation factor IF2.

Project description:IF2 is one of three bacterial translation initiation factors that are conserved through all kingdoms of life. It binds the 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits, as well as fMet-tRNAf(Met). After these interactions, fMet-tRNAf(Met) is oriented to the ribosomal P-site where the first amino acid of the nascent polypeptide, formylmethionine, is presented. The C-terminal domain of Bacillus stearothermophilus IF2, which is responsible for recognition and binding of fMet-tRNAf(Met), contains two structured modules. Previously, the solution structure of the most C-terminal module, IF2-C2, has been elucidated by NMR spectroscopy and direct interactions between this subdomain and fMet-tRNAf(Met) were reported. In the present NMR study we have obtained the spectral assignment of the other module of the C-terminal domain (IF2-C1) and determined its solution structure and backbone dynamics. The IF2-C1 core forms a flattened fold consisting of a central four-stranded parallel beta-sheet flanked by three alpha-helices. Although its overall organization resembles that of subdomain III of the archaeal IF2-homolog eIF5B whose crystal structure had previously been reported, some differences of potential functional significance are evident.

Crystal structure and putative function of small Toprim domain-containing protein from Bacillus stearothermophilus.

Project description:The crystal structure of the Midwest Center for Structural Genomics target APC35832, a 14.7-kDa cytosolic protein from Bacillus stearothermophilus, has been determined at 1.3 A resolution by the single anomalous diffraction method from a mercury soaked crystal. The APC35832 protein is a representative of large group of bacterial and archeal proteins entirely consisting of the Toprim (topoisomerase-primase) domain. This domain is found in the catalytic centers of many enzymes catalyzing phosphodiester bond formation or cleavage, but the function of small Toprim domain proteins remains unknown. Consistent with the sequence analysis, the APC35832 structure shows a conserved Toprim fold, with a central 4-stranded parallel beta-sheet surrounded by four alpha-helixes. Comparison of the APC35832 structure with its closest structural homolog, the catalytic core of bacteriophage T7 primase, revealed structural conservation of a metal binding site and isothermal titration calorimetry indicates that APC35832 binds Mg2+ with a sub-millimolar dissociation constant (K(d)). The APC35832-Mg2+ complex structure was determined at 1.65 A and reveals the role of conserved acidic residues in Mg2+ ion coordination. The structural similarities to other Toprim domain containing proteins and potential function and substrates of APC35832 are discussed in this article.

Crystal structure of the BstDEAD N-terminal domain: a novel DEAD protein from Bacillus stearothermophilus.

Project description:Most cellular processes requiring RNA structure rearrangement necessitate the action of Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) proteins. Members of the family, named originally for the conserved DEAD amino acid sequence, are thought to disrupt RNA structure and facilitate its rearrangement by unwinding short stretches of duplex RNA. BstDEAD is a novel 436 amino acid representative of the DEAD protein family from Bacillus stearothermophilus that contains all eight conserved motifs found in DEAD proteins and is homologous with other members of the family. Here, we describe the 1.85 A resolution structure of the N-terminal domain (residues 1-211) of BstDEAD (BstDEAD-NT). Similar to the corresponding domains of related helicases, BstDEAD-NT adopts a parallel alpha/beta structure with RecA-like topology. In general, the conserved motifs superimpose on closely related DEAD proteins and on more distantly related helicases such as RecA. This affirms the current belief that the core helicase domains, responsible for mechanistic activity, are structurally similar in DEAD proteins. In contrast, however, the so-called Walker A P-loop, which binds the beta- and gamma-phosphates of ATP, adopts a rarely seen "closed" conformation that would sterically block ATP binding. The closed conformation may be indicative of a general regulatory feature among DEAD proteins (and RNA helicases) that differs from that used by DNA helicases. BstDEAD also contains a unique extension of approximately 60 residues at the C terminus that is highly basic, suggesting that it might bind nucleic acids and, in so doing, confer specificity to the helicase activity of the core region.

High-resolution structure of AKR1a4 in the apo form and its interaction with ligands.

Project description:Aldo-keto reductase 1a4 (AKR1a4; EC 1.1.1.2) is the mouse orthologue of human aldehyde reductase (AKR1a1), the founding member of the AKR family. As an NADPH-dependent enzyme, AKR1a4 catalyses the conversion of D-glucuronate to L-gulonate. AKR1a4 is involved in ascorbate biosynthesis in mice, but has also recently been found to interact with SMAR1, providing a novel mechanism of ROS regulation by ATM. Here, the crystal structure of AKR1a4 in its apo form at 1.64?Å resolution as well as the characterization of the binding of AKR1a4 to NADPH and P44, a peptide derived from SMAR1, is presented.

Crystal structure of the apo form of a β-transaminase from Mesorhizobium sp. strain LUK.

Project description:Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent β-transaminases (βTAs) reversibly catalyze transamination reactions by recognizing amino groups linked to the β-carbon atoms of their substrates. Although several βTA structures have been determined as holo forms containing PLP, little is known about the effect of PLP on the conversion of the apo structure to the holo structure. We determined the crystal structure of the apo form of a βTA from Mesorhizobium sp. strain LUK at 2.2 Å resolution to elucidate how PLP affects the βTA structure. The structure revealed three major disordered regions near the active site. Structural comparison with the holo form also showed that the disordered regions in the apo form are ordered and partially adopt secondary structures in the holo form. These findings suggest that PLP incorporation into the active site contributes to the structural stability of the active site architecture, thereby forming the complete active site. Our results provide novel structural insights into the role of PLP in terms of active site formation.
