Target binding to S100B reduces dynamic properties and increases Ca(2+)-binding affinity for wild type and EF-hand mutant proteins.

ABSTRACT: Mutations in the second EF-hand (D61N, D63N, D65N, and E72A) of S100B were used to study its Ca(2+) binding and dynamic properties in the absence and presence of a bound target, TRTK-12. With (D63N)S100B as an exception ((D63N)K(D)=50±9 ?M), Ca(2+) binding to EF2-hand mutants were reduced by more than 8-fold in the absence of TRTK-12 ((D61N)K(D)=412±67 ?M, (D65N)K(D)=968±171 ?M, and (E72A)K(D)=471±133 ?M), when compared to wild-type protein ((WT)K(D)=56±9 ?M). For the TRTK-12 complexes, the Ca(2+)-binding affinity to wild type ((WT+TRTK)K(D)=12±10 ?M) and the EF2 mutants was increased by 5- to 14-fold versus in the absence of target ((D61N+TRTK)K(D)=29±1.2 ?M, (D63N+TRTK)K(D)=10±2.2 ?M, (D65N+TRTK)K(D)=73±4.4 ?M, and (E72A+TRTK)K(D)=18±3.7 ?M). In addition, R(ex), as measured using relaxation dispersion for side-chain (15)N resonances of Asn63 ((D63N)S100B), was reduced upon TRTK-12 binding when measured by NMR. Likewise, backbone motions on multiple timescales (picoseconds to milliseconds) throughout wild type, (D61N)S100B, (D63N)S100B, and (D65N)S100B were lowered upon binding TRTK-12. However, the X-ray structures of Ca(2+)-bound (2.0Å) and TRTK-bound (1.2Å) (D63N)S100B showed no change in Ca(2+) coordination; thus, these and analogous structural data for the wild-type protein could not be used to explain how target binding increased Ca(2+)-binding affinity in solution. Therefore, a model for how S100B-TRTK-12 complex formation increases Ca(2+) binding is discussed, which considers changes in protein dynamics upon binding the target TRTK-12.

Mutations in the second EF-hand (D61N, D63N, D65N, and E72A) of S100B were used to study its Ca(2+) binding and dynamic properties in the absence and presence of a bound target, TRTK-12. With (D63N)S100B as an exception ((D63N)K(D)=50±9 μM), Ca(2+) binding to EF2-hand mutants were reduced by more than 8-fold in the absence of TRTK-12 ((D61N)K(D)=412±67 μM, (D65N)K(D)=968±171 μM, and (E72A)K(D)=471±133 μM), when compared to wild-type protein ((WT)K(D)=56±9 μM).

Project description:The EF hand, a helix-loop-helix structure, is one of the most common motifs found in animal genomes, and EF-hand Ca(2+)-binding proteins (EFCaBPs) are widely distributed throughout the cell. However, researchers remain confounded by a lack of understanding of how peptide sequences code for specific functions and by uncertainty about the molecular mechanisms that enable EFCaBPs to distinguish among many diverse cellular targets. Such knowledge could define the roles of EFCaBPs in health and disease and ultimately enable control or even design of Ca(2+)-dependent functions in medicine and biotechnology. In this Account, we describe our structural and biochemical research designed to understand the sequence-to-function relationship in EFCaBPs. The first structural goal was to define conformational changes induced by binding Ca(2+), and our group and others established that solution NMR spectroscopy is well suited for this task. We pinpointed residues critical to the differences in Ca(2+) response of calbindin D(9k) and calmodulin (CaM), homologous EFCaBPs from different functional classes, by using direct structure determination with site-directed mutagenesis and protein engineering. Structure combined with biochemistry provided the foundation for identifying the fundamental mechanism of cooperativity in the binding of Ca(2+) ions: this cooperativity provides EFCaBPs with the ability to detect the relatively small changes in concentration that constitute Ca(2+) signals. Using calbindin D(9k) as a model system, studies of the structure and fast time scale dynamics of each of the four ion binding states in a typical EF-hand domain provided direct evidence that site-site communication lowers the free energy cost of reorganization for binding the second ion. Our work has also extended models of how EFCaBPs interact with their cellular targets. We determined the unique dimeric architecture of S100 proteins, a specialized subfamily of EFCaBPs found exclusively in vertebrates. We described the implications for how these proteins transduce signals and went on to characterize interactions with peptide fragments of important cellular targets. Studies of the CaM homolog centrin revealed novel characteristics of its binding of Ca(2+) and its interaction with its cellular target Kar1. These results provided clear examples of how subtle differences in sequence fine-tune EFCaBPs to interact with their specific targets. The structural approach stands at a critical crossroad, shifting in emphasis from descriptive structural biochemistry to integrated biology and medicine. We present our dual-molecular-switch model for Ca(2+) regulation of gating functions of voltage-gated sodium channels in which both CaM and an intrinsic EF-hand domain serve as coupled Ca(2+) sensors. A second example involves novel EFCaBP extracellular function, that is, the role of S100A8/S100A9 heterodimer in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens. A mechanism for the antimicrobial activity of S100A8/S100A9 was discovered. We describe interactions of S100A8/S100A9 and S100B with the cell surface receptor for advanced glycation end products. Biochemical and structural studies are now uncovering the mechanisms by which EFCaBPs work and are helping to define their biological activities, while simultaneously expanding knowledge of the roles of these proteins in normal cellular physiology and the pathology of disease.

Project description:FKBP65 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized chaperone and rotamase, with cargo proteins that include tropoelastin and collagen. In humans, mutations in FKBP65 have recently been shown to cause a form of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a brittle bone disease resulting from deficient secretion of mature type I collagen. In this work, we describe the rapid proteolysis of FKBP65 in response to ER stress signals that activate the release of ER Ca(2+) stores. A large-scale screen for stress-induced cellular changes revealed FKBP65 proteins to decrease within 6-12 h of stress activation. Inhibiting IP(3)R-mediated ER Ca(2+) release blocked this response. No other ER-localized chaperone and folding mediators assessed in the study displayed this phenomenon, indicating that this rapid proteolysis of folding mediator is distinctive. Imaging and cellular fractionation confirmed the localization of FKBP65 (72 kDa glycoprotein) to the ER of untreated cells, a rapid decrease in protein levels following ER stress, and the corresponding appearance of a 30-kDa fragment in the cytosol. Inhibition of the proteasome during ER stress revealed an accumulation of FKBP65 in the cytosol, consistent with retrotranslocation and a proteasome-based proteolysis. To assess the role of Ca(2+)-binding EF-hand domains in FKBP65 stability, a recombinant FKBP65-GFP construct was engineered to ablate Ca(2+) binding at each of two EF-hand domains. Cells transfected with the wild-type construct displayed ER localization of the FKBP65-GFP protein and a proteasome-dependent proteolysis in response to ER stress. Recombinant FKBP65-GFP carrying a defect in the EF1 Ca(2+)-binding domain displayed diminished protein in the ER when compared to wild-type FKBP65-GFP. Proteasome inhibition restored mutant protein to levels similar to that of the wild-type FKBP65-GFP. A similar mutation in EF2 did not confer FKBP65 proteolysis. This work supports a model in which stress-induced changes in ER Ca(2+) stores induce the rapid proteolysis of FKBP65, a chaperone and folding mediator of collagen and tropoelastin. The destruction of this protein may identify a cellular strategy for replacement of protein folding machinery following ER stress. The implications for stress-induced changes in the handling of aggregate-prone proteins in the ER-Golgi secretory pathway are discussed.
