Capture and quality control mechanisms for adenosine-5'-triphosphate binding.

ABSTRACT: The catalytic events in members of the nucleotidylyl transferase superfamily are initiated by a millisecond binding of ATP in the active site. Through metadynamics simulations on a class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRSs), the largest group in the superfamily, we calculate the free energy landscape of ATP selection and binding. Mutagenesis studies and fluorescence spectroscopy validated the identification of the most populated intermediate states. The rapid first binding step involves formation of encounter complexes captured through a fly casting mechanism that acts upon the triphosphate moiety of ATP. In the slower nucleoside binding step, a conserved histidine in the HxxH motif orients the incoming ATP through base-stacking interactions resulting in a deep minimum in the free energy surface. Mutation of this histidine significantly decreases the binding affinity measured experimentally and computationally. The metadynamics simulations further reveal an intermediate quality control state that the synthetases and most likely other members of the superfamily use to select ATP over other nucleoside triphosphates.

Project description:AbstractAberrant expression of adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette subfamily C (ABCC), one of the largest superfamilies and transporter gene families of membrane proteins, is associated with various tumors. However, its relationship with liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC) remains unclear.We used the Oncomine, UALCAN, Human Protein Atlas, GeneMANIA, GO, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), TIMER, and Kaplan-Meier Plotter databases. On May 20, 2021, we searched these databases for the terms ABCC1, ABCC2, ABCC3, ABCC4, ABCC5, ABCC6, ABCC7, ABCC8, ABCC9, ABCC10, ABCC11, ABCC12, ABCC13, and "liver cancer." The exposure group comprised LIHC patients, and the control group comprised normal patients (those with noncancerous liver tissue). All patients shown in the retrieval language search were included. We compared the mRNA expression of these proteins in LIHC and control patients to examine the potential role of ABCC1-13 in LIHC.Relative to the normal liver tissue, mRNA expression of ABCC1/2/3/4/5/6/10 was significantly upregulated (P < .001), and that of ABCC9/11 significantly downregulated (both P < .001), in LIHC. ABCC mRNA expression varied with gender (P < .05), except for ABCC11-13; with tumor grade (P < 0.05), except for ABCC7/12/13; with tumor stage (P < .05), except for ABCC11-13; and with lymph node metastasis status (P < .05), except for ABCC7/8/11/12/13. Based on KEGG enrichment analysis, these genes were associated with the following pathways: ABC transporters, Bile secretion, Antifolate resistance, and Peroxisome (P < .05). Except for ABCC12/13, the ABCCs were significantly associated with B cell, CD8+ T cell, CD4+ T cell, macrophage, neutrophil, and dendritic cell infiltration (P < .05). High mRNA expression of ABCC1/4/5/8 (P < .05) and low expression of ABCC6/7/9/12/13 (P < .05) indicated poor prognosis. Prognostic significance was indicated for ABCC2/13 for both men and women (P < .05); for ABCC1/6/12/13 for tumor grades 1-3 (P < .05); for ABCC5/11/12/13 for all tumor stages (P < .05); for ABCC1/11/12/13 for American Joint Committee on Cancer T stages 1-3 (P < .05); and for ABCC1/5/6/13 for vascular invasion. None showed prognostic significance for microvascular invasion (P < .05).We identified ABCC1/2/3/4/5/6/9/10/11 as potential diagnostic markers, and ABCC1/4/5/6/7/8/9/12/13 as prognostic markers, of LIHC. Our future work will promote the use of ABCCs in the diagnosis and treatment of LIHC.
