Structural and biochemical properties of an extreme 'salt-loving' proteasome activating nucleotidase from the archaeon Haloferax volcanii.

ABSTRACT: In eukaryotes, the 26S proteasome degrades ubiquitinylated proteins in an ATP-dependent manner. Archaea mediate a form of post-translational modification of proteins termed sampylation that resembles ubiquitinylation. Sampylation was identified in Haloferax volcanii, a moderate halophilic archaeon that synthesizes homologs of 26S proteasome subunits including 20S core particles and regulatory particle triple-A ATPases (Rpt)-like proteasome-associated nucleotidases (PAN-A/1 and PAN-B/2). To determine whether sampylated proteins associate with the Rpt subunit homologs, PAN-A/1 was purified to homogeneity from Hfx. volcanii and analyzed for its subunit stoichiometry, nucleotide-hydrolyzing activity and binding to sampylated protein targets. PAN-A/1 was found to be associated as a dodecamer (630 kDa) with a configuration in TEM suggesting a complex of two stacked hexameric rings. PAN-A/1 had high affinity for ATP (K m of ~0.44 mM) and hydrolyzed this nucleotide with a specific activity of 0.33 ± 0.1 ?mol Pi/h per mg protein and maximum at 42 °C. PAN-A1 was stabilized by 2 M salt with a decrease in activity at lower concentrations of salt that correlated with dissociation of the dodecamer into trimers to monomers. Binding of PAN-A/1 to a sampylated protein was demonstrated by modification of a far Western blotting technique (derived from the standard Western blot method to detect protein-protein interaction in vitro) for halophilic proteins. Overall, our results support a model in which sampylated proteins associate with the PAN-A/1 AAA+ ATPase in proteasome-mediated proteolysis and/or protein remodeling and provide a method for assay of halophilic protein-protein interactions.

Project description:The halophilic archaeon Haloferax volcanii encodes two related proteasome-activating nucleotidase proteins, PanA and PanB, with PanA levels predominant during all phases of growth. In this study, an isogenic panA mutant strain of H. volcanii was generated. The growth rate and cell yield of this mutant strain were lower than those of its parent and plasmid-complemented derivatives. In addition, a consistent and discernible 2.1-fold increase in the number of phosphorylated proteins was detected when the panA gene was disrupted, based on phosphospecific fluorescent staining of proteins separated by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Subsequent enrichment of phosphoproteins by immobilized metal ion and metal oxide affinity chromatography (in parallel and sequentially) followed by tandem mass spectrometry was employed to identify key differences in the proteomes of these strains as well as to add to the restricted numbers of known phosphoproteins within the Archaea. In total, 625 proteins (approximately 15% of the deduced proteome) and 9 phosphosites were identified by these approaches, and 31% (195) of the proteins were identified by multiple phosphoanalytical methods. In agreement with the phosphostaining results, the number of identified proteins that were reproducibly exclusive or notably more abundant in one strain was nearly twofold greater for the panA mutant than for the parental strain. Enriched proteins exclusive to or more abundant in the panA mutant (versus the wild type) included cell division (FtsZ, Cdc48), dihydroxyacetone kinase-linked phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase system (EI, DhaK), and oxidoreductase homologs. Differences in transcriptional regulation and signal transduction proteins were also observed, including those differences (e.g., OsmC and BolA) which suggest that proteasome deficiency caused an up-regulation of stress responses (e.g., OsmC versus BolA). Consistent with this, components of the Fe-S cluster assembly, protein-folding, DNA binding and repair, oxidative and osmotic stress, phosphorus assimilation, and polyphosphate synthesis systems were enriched and identified as unique to the panA mutant. The cumulative proteomic data not only furthered our understanding of the archaeal proteasome system but also facilitated the assembly of the first subproteome map of H. volcanii.
