Specific interaction of ERp57 and calnexin determined by NMR spectroscopy and an ER two-hybrid system.

ABSTRACT: Calnexin and ERp57 act cooperatively to ensure a proper folding of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Calnexin contains two domains: a lectin domain and an extended arm termed the P-domain. ERp57 is a protein disulfide isomerase composed of four thioredoxin-like repeats and a short basic C-terminal tail. Here we show direct interactions between the tip of the calnexin P-domain and the ERp57 basic C-terminus by using NMR and a novel membrane yeast two-hybrid system (MYTHS) for mapping protein interactions of ER proteins. Our results prove that a small peptide derived from the P-domain is active in binding ERp57, and we determine the structure of the bound conformation of the P-domain peptide. The experimental strategy of using the MYTHS two-hybrid system to map interaction sites between ER proteins, together with NMR, provides a powerful new strategy for establishing the function of ER complexes.

Calnexin cycle - structural features of the ER chaperone system.

Project description:The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the major folding compartment for secreted and membrane proteins and is the site of a specific chaperone system, the calnexin cycle, for folding N-glycosylated proteins. Recent structures of components of the calnexin cycle have deepened our understanding of quality control mechanisms and protein folding pathways in the ER. In the calnexin cycle, proteins carrying monoglucosylated glycans bind to the lectin chaperones calnexin and calreticulin, which recruit a variety of function-specific chaperones to mediate protein disulfide formation, proline isomerization, and general protein folding. Upon trimming by glucosidase II, the glycan without an inner glucose residue is no longer able to bind to the lectin chaperones. For proteins that have not yet folded properly, the enzyme UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase (UGGT) acts as a checkpoint by adding a glucose back to the N-glycan. This allows the misfolded proteins to re-associate with calnexin and calreticulin for additional rounds of chaperone-mediated refolding and prevents them from exiting the ERs. Here, we review progress in structural studies of the calnexin cycle, which reveal common features of how lectin chaperones recruit function-specific chaperones and how UGGT recognizes misfolded proteins.

Relationship between recombinant protein expression and host metabolome as determined by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Escherichia coli has been the most widely used host to produce large amounts of heterologous proteins. However, given an input plasmid DNA, E. coli may produce soluble protein, produce only inclusion bodies, or yield little or no protein at all. Many efforts have been made to surmount these problems, but most of them have involved time-consuming and labor-intensive trial-and-error. We hypothesized that different metabolomic fingerprints might be associated with different protein production outcomes. If so, then it might be possible to change the expression pattern by manipulating the metabolite environment. As a first step in testing this hypothesis, we probed a subset of the intracellular metabolites by partially labeling it with 13C-glucose. We tested 71 genes and identified 17 metabolites by employing the two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. The statistical analysis showed that there existed the metabolite compositions favoring protein production. We hope that this work would help devise a systematic and predictive approach to the recombinant protein production.

Interaction trap/two-hybrid system to identify interacting proteins.

Project description:This unit presents protocols designed to detect interacting proteins. Using yeast as a "test tube" and transcriptional activation of a reporter system, interacting proteins can be identified. The system can also be used to test complex formation for proteins for which there exists a reason to expect interaction.

Glycosylation States on Intact Proteins Determined by NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Protein glycosylation is important in many organisms for proper protein folding, signaling, cell adhesion, protein-protein interactions, and immune responses. Thus, effectively determining the extent of glycosylation in glycoprotein therapeutics is crucial. Up to now, characterizing protein glycosylation has been carried out mostly by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS), which requires careful sample processing, e.g., glycan removal or protein digestion and glycopeptide enrichment. Herein, we introduce an NMR-based method to better characterize intact glycoproteins in natural abundance. This non-destructive method relies on exploiting differences in nuclear relaxation to suppress the NMR signals of the protein while maintaining glycan signals. Using RNase B Man5 and RNase B Man9, we establish reference spectra that can be used to determine the different glycoforms present in heterogeneously glycosylated commercial RNase B.

N-Glycan-based ER Molecular Chaperone and Protein Quality Control System: The Calnexin Binding Cycle.

Project description:Helenius and colleagues proposed over 20-years ago a paradigm-shifting model for how chaperone binding in the endoplasmic reticulum was mediated and controlled for a new type of molecular chaperone- the carbohydrate-binding chaperones, calnexin and calreticulin. While the originally established basics for this lectin chaperone binding cycle holds true today, there has been a number of important advances that have expanded our understanding of its mechanisms of action, role in protein homeostasis, and its connection to disease states that are highlighted in this review.

Hairpin structure of a biarsenical-tetracysteine motif determined by NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:The biarsenical-tetracysteine motif is a useful tag for genetic labeling of proteins with small molecules in living cells. The present study concerns the structure of a 12 amino acid peptide FLNCCPGCCMEP bound to the fluorophore ReAsH based on resorufin. (1)H NMR spectroscopy was used to determine the solution structure of the complex formed between the peptide and the ReAsH moiety. Structure calculations based on the NMR results showed that the backbone structure of the peptide is fairly well defined, with a hairpinlike turn, similar to a type-II beta-turn, formed by the central CPGC segment. The most stable complex was formed when As2 was bonded to C4 and C5 and As1 to C8 and C9. Two clear NOESY cross-peaks between the Phe1 side chain and ReAsH confirmed the close positioning of the phenyl ring of Phe1 and ReAsH. Phe1 was found to have an edge-face geometry relative to ReAsH. The close interaction between Phe1 and ReAsH may be highly significant for the fluorescence properties of the ReAsH complex.

Interaction proteomics by using in-cell NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:A synopsis of in-cell NMR spectroscopic approaches to study interaction proteomics in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells is presented. We describe the use of in-cell NMR spectroscopy to resolve high resolution protein structures, discuss methodologies for determining and analyzing high and low affinity protein-target structural interactions, including intrinsically disordered proteins, and detail important functional interactions that result from these interactions. SIGNIFICANCE: The ultimate goal of structural and biochemical research is to understand how macromolecular interactions give rise to and regulate biological activity in living cells. The challenge is formidable due to the complexity that arises not only from the number of proteins (genes) expressed by the organism, but also from the combinatorial interactions between them. Despite ongoing efforts to decipher the complex nature of protein interactions, new methods for structurally characterizing protein complexes are needed to fully understand molecular networks. With the onset of in-cell NMR spectroscopy, molecular structures and interactions can be studied under physiological conditions shedding light on the structural underpinning of biological activity.

Ellagitannin-Lipid Interaction by HR-MAS NMR Spectroscopy.

Project description:Ellagitannins have antimicrobial activity, which might be related to their interactions with membrane lipids. We studied the interactions of 12 different ellagitannins and pentagalloylglucose with a lipid extract of Escherichia coli by high-resolution magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy. The nuclear Overhauser effect was utilized to measure the cross relaxation rates between ellagitannin and lipid protons. The shifting of lipid signals in 1H NMR spectra of ellagitannin-lipid mixture due to ring current effect was also observed. The ellagitannins that showed interaction with lipids had clear structural similarities. All ellagitannins that had interactions with lipids had glucopyranose cores. In addition to the central polyol, the most important structural feature affecting the interaction seemed to be the structural flexibility of the ellagitannin. Even dimeric and trimeric ellagitannins could penetrate to the lipid bilayers if their structures were flexible with free galloyl and hexahydroxydiphenoyl groups.

Protein fold determined by paramagnetic magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

Project description:Biomacromolecules that are challenging for the usual structural techniques can be studied with atomic resolution by solid-state NMR spectroscopy. However, the paucity of distance restraints >5 Å, traditionally derived from measurements of magnetic dipole-dipole couplings between protein nuclei, is a major bottleneck that hampers such structure elucidation efforts. Here, we describe a general approach that enables the rapid determination of global protein fold in the solid phase via measurements of nuclear paramagnetic relaxation enhancements (PREs) in several analogues of the protein of interest containing covalently attached paramagnetic tags, without the use of conventional internuclear distance restraints. The method is demonstrated using six cysteine-EDTA-Cu(2+) mutants of the 56-residue B1 immunoglobulin-binding domain of protein G, for which ~230 longitudinal backbone (15)N PREs corresponding to distances of ~10-20 Å were obtained. The mean protein fold determined in this manner agrees with the X-ray structure with a backbone atom root-mean-square deviation of 1.8 Å.
