Molecular basis of nucleotide-dependent substrate engagement and remodeling by an AAA+ activator.

ABSTRACT: Binding and hydrolysis of ATP is universally required by AAA+ proteins to underpin their mechano-chemical work. Here we explore the roles of the ATPase site in an AAA+ transcriptional activator protein, the phage shock protein F (PspF), by specifically altering the Walker B motif sequence required in catalyzing ATP hydrolysis. One such mutant, the E108Q variant, is defective in ATP hydrolysis but fully remodels target transcription complexes, the RNAP-?(54) holoenzyme, in an ATP dependent manner. Structural analysis of the E108Q variant reveals that unlike wild-type protein, which has distinct conformations for E108 residue in the ATP and ADP bound forms, E108Q adapts the same conformation irrespective of nucleotide bound. Our data show that the remodeling activities of E108Q are strongly favored on pre-melted DNA and engagement with RNAP-?(54) using ATP binding can be sufficient to convert the inactive holoenzyme to an active form, while hydrolysis per se is required for nucleic acid remodeling that leads to transcription bubble formation. Furthermore, using linked dimer constructs, we show that RNAP-?(54) engagement by adjacent subunits within a hexamer are required for this protein remodeling activity while DNA remodeling activity can tolerate defective ATP hydrolysis of alternating subunits.

Molecular basis for ATPase-powered substrate translocation by the Lon AAA+ protease.

Project description:The Lon AAA+ (adenosine triphosphatases associated with diverse cellular activities) protease (LonA) converts ATP-fuelled conformational changes into sufficient mechanical force to drive translocation of a substrate into a hexameric proteolytic chamber. To understand the structural basis for the substrate translocation process, we determined the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of Meiothermus taiwanensis LonA (MtaLonA) in a substrate-engaged state at 3.6 Å resolution. Our data indicate that substrate interactions are mediated by the dual pore-loops of the ATPase domains, organized in spiral staircase arrangement from four consecutive protomers in different ATP-binding and hydrolysis states. However, a closed AAA+ ring is maintained by two disengaged ADP-bound protomers transiting between the lowest and highest position. This structure reveals a processive rotary translocation mechanism mediated by LonA-specific nucleotide-dependent allosteric coordination among the ATPase domains, which is induced by substrate binding.

Multistep substrate binding and engagement by the AAA+ ClpXP protease.

Project description:Escherichia coli ClpXP is one of the most thoroughly studied AAA+ proteases, but relatively little is known about the reactions that allow it to bind and then engage specific protein substrates before the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-fueled mechanical unfolding and translocation steps that lead to processive degradation. Here, we employ a fluorescence-quenching assay to study the binding of ssrA-tagged substrates to ClpXP. Polyphasic stopped-flow association and dissociation kinetics support the existence of at least three distinct substrate-bound complexes. These kinetic data fit well to a model in which ClpXP and substrate form an initial recognition complex followed by an intermediate complex and then, an engaged complex that is competent for substrate unfolding. The initial association and dissociation steps do not require ATP hydrolysis, but subsequent forward and reverse kinetic steps are accelerated by faster ATP hydrolysis. Our results, together with recent cryo-EM structures of ClpXP bound to substrates, support a model in which the ssrA degron initially binds in the top portion of the axial channel of the ClpX hexamer and then is translocated deeper into the channel in steps that eventually pull the native portion of the substrate against the channel opening. Reversible initial substrate binding allows ClpXP to check potential substrates for degrons, potentially increasing specificity. Subsequent substrate engagement steps allow ClpXP to grip a wide variety of sequences to ensure efficient unfolding and translocation of almost any native substrate.

Structural basis for substrate gripping and translocation by the ClpB AAA+ disaggregase.

Project description:Bacterial ClpB and yeast Hsp104 are homologous Hsp100 protein disaggregases that serve critical functions in proteostasis by solubilizing protein aggregates. Two AAA+ nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) power polypeptide translocation through a central channel comprised of a hexameric spiral of protomers that contact substrate via conserved pore-loop interactions. Here we report cryo-EM structures of a hyperactive ClpB variant bound to the model substrate, casein in the presence of slowly hydrolysable ATPγS, which reveal the translocation mechanism. Distinct substrate-gripping interactions are identified for NBD1 and NBD2 pore loops. A trimer of N-terminal domains define a channel entrance that binds the polypeptide substrate adjacent to the topmost NBD1 contact. NBD conformations at the seam interface reveal how ATP hydrolysis-driven substrate disengagement and re-binding are precisely tuned to drive a directional, stepwise translocation cycle.

Molecular basis for substrate-dependent transmembrane signaling in an outer-membrane transporter.

Project description:Transmembrane signaling events that propagate through receptors and transporters have critical roles in cellular function and regulation. In the Escherichia coli vitamin B(12) transporter, BtuB, substrate binding to the extracellular surface of the protein triggers the unfolding of an energy coupling motif at the periplasmic surface. Here, the molecular interactions mediating this substrate-dependent transmembrane signaling event were investigated in a novel way by combining a two mutant cycle analysis with site-directed spin labeling (SDSL). SDSL was used to monitor the unfolding and conformational equilibrium of the energy-coupling motif, and a thermodynamic two-mutant cycle analysis was used to estimate pair-wise interaction free energies for a pair of charged residues (D316 and R14) within the protein interior. The data indicate that D316 and R14 are critical to this structural transition. Substrate binding is shown to reduce the interaction free energy between these residues, thereby triggering the unfolding of the energy coupling motif of this membrane transporter. The result indicates that SDSL when used in combination with a mutant cycle analysis provides an approach to examine the molecular interactions mediating signaling events in membrane proteins.

Molecular determinants for PspA-mediated repression of the AAA transcriptional activator PspF.

Project description:The Escherichia coli phage shock protein system (pspABCDE operon and pspG gene) is induced by numerous stresses related to the membrane integrity state. Transcription of the psp genes requires the RNA polymerase containing the sigma(54) subunit and the AAA transcriptional activator PspF. PspF belongs to an atypical class of sigma(54) AAA activators in that it lacks an N-terminal regulatory domain and is instead negatively regulated by another regulatory protein, PspA. PspA therefore represses its own expression. The PspA protein is distributed between the cytoplasm and the inner membrane fraction. In addition to its transcriptional inhibitory role, PspA assists maintenance of the proton motive force and protein export. Several lines of in vitro evidence indicate that PspA-PspF interactions inhibit the ATPase activity of PspF, resulting in the inhibition of PspF-dependent gene expression. In this study, we characterize sequences within PspA and PspF crucial for the negative effect of PspA upon PspF. Using a protein fragmentation approach, we show that the integrity of the three putative N-terminal alpha-helical domains of PspA is crucial for the role of PspA as a negative regulator of PspF. A bacterial two-hybrid system allowed us to provide clear evidence for an interaction in E. coli between PspA and PspF in vivo, which strongly suggests that PspA-directed inhibition of PspF occurs via an inhibitory complex. Finally, we identify a single PspF residue that is a binding determinant for PspA.

Molecular basis for transposase activation by a dedicated AAA+ ATPase.

Project description:Transposases drive chromosomal rearrangements and the dissemination of drug-resistance genes and toxins1-3. Although some transposases act alone, many rely on dedicated AAA+ ATPase subunits that regulate site selectivity and catalytic function through poorly understood mechanisms. Using IS21 as a model transposase system, we show how an ATPase regulator uses nucleotide-controlled assembly and DNA deformation to enable structure-based site selectivity, transposase recruitment, and activation and integration. Solution and cryogenic electron microscopy studies show that the IstB ATPase self-assembles into an autoinhibited pentamer of dimers that tightly curves target DNA into a half-coil. Two of these decamers dimerize, which stabilizes the target nucleic acid into a kinked S-shaped configuration that engages the IstA transposase at the interface between the two IstB oligomers to form an approximately 1 MDa transpososome complex. Specific interactions stimulate regulator ATPase activity and trigger a large conformational change on the transposase that positions the catalytic site to perform DNA strand transfer. These studies help explain how AAA+ ATPase regulators-which are used by classical transposition systems such as Tn7, Mu and CRISPR-associated elements-can remodel their substrate DNA and cognate transposases to promote function.

Nucleotide-dependent control of internal strains in ring-shaped AAA+ motors.

Project description:The AAA+ (ATPase Associated with various cellular Activities) machinery represents an extremely successful and widely used design plan for biological motors. Recently found crystal structures are beginning to reveal nucleotide-dependent conformational changes in the canonical hexameric rings of the AAA+ motors. However, the physical mechanism by which ATP binding on one subunit allosterically propagates across the entire ring remains to be found. Here we analyze and compare structural organization of three ring-shaped AAA+ motors, ClpX, HslU, and dynein. By constructing multimers using subunits of identical conformations, we find that individual subunits locally possess helical geometries with varying pitch, radius, chirality, and symmetry number. These results suggest that binding of an ATP to a subunit imposes conformational constraint that must be accommodated by more flexible nucleotide-free subunits to relieve mechanical strain on the ring. Local deformation of the ring contour and subsequent propagation of strains may be a general strategy that AAA+ motors adopt to generate force while achieving functional diversity.

Molecular basis for substrate recruitment to the PRMT5 methylosome

Project description:PRMT5 is an essential arginine methyltransferase and a therapeutic target in MTAP null cancers. PRMT5 utilizes adaptor proteins for substrate recruitment through a previously undefined mechanism. Here, we identify an evolutionarily conserved peptide sequence shared among the three known substrate adaptors (CLNS1A, RIOK1 and COPR5) and show it is necessary and sufficient for interaction with PRMT5. We demonstrate that PRMT5 uses modular adaptor proteins containing a common binding motif for substrate recruitment, comparable to other enzyme classes such as kinases and E3 ligases. We structurally resolve the interface with PRMT5 and show via genetic perturbation that it is required for methylation of adaptor-recruited substrates including the spliceosome, histones, and ribosome assembly complexes. Further, disruption of this site affects Sm spliceosome stability and activity, leading to intron retention. Genetic disruption of the PRMT5-substrate adaptor interface leads to a hypomorphic decrease in growth of MTAP null tumor cells in vitro and in vivo, and is thus a novel site for development of therapeutic inhibitors of PRMT5.

Remodeling of nucleoprotein complexes is independent of the nucleotide state of a mutant AAA+ protein.

Project description:DnaA protein, a member of the AAA+ (ATPase associated with various cellular activities) family, initiates DNA synthesis at the chromosomal origin of replication (oriC) and regulates the transcription of several genes, including its own. The assembly of DnaA complexes at chromosomal recognition sequences is affected by the tight binding of ATP or ADP by DnaA. DnaA with a point mutation in its membrane-binding amphipathic helix, DnaA(L366K), previously described for its ability to support growth in cells with altered phospholipid content, has biochemical characteristics similar to those of the wild-type protein. Yet DnaA(L366K) fails to initiate in vitro or in vivo replication from oriC. We found here, through in vitro dimethyl sulfate footprinting and gel mobility shift assays, that DnaA(L366K) in either nucleotide state was unable to assemble into productive prereplication complexes. In contrast, at the dnaA promoter, both the ATP and the ADP form of DnaA(L366K) generated active nucleoprotein complexes that efficiently repressed transcription in a manner similar to wild-type ATP-DnaA. Thus, it appears that unlike wild-type DnaA protein DnaA(L366K) can adopt architectures that are independent of its bound nucleotide, and instead the locus determines the functionality of the higher order DnaA(L366K)-DNA complexes.

ATPase site architecture is required for self-assembly and remodeling activity of a hexameric AAA+ transcriptional activator.

Project description:AAA+ proteins (ATPases associated with various cellular activities) are oligomeric ATPases that use ATP hydrolysis to remodel their substrates. By similarity with GTPases, a dynamic organization of the nucleotide-binding pockets between ATPase protomers is proposed to regulate functionality. Using the transcription activator PspF as an AAA+ model, we investigated contributions of conserved residues for roles in ATP hydrolysis and intersubunit communication. We determined the R-finger residue and revealed that it resides in a conserved "R-hand" motif (R(x)D(xxx)R) needed for its "trans-acting" activity. Further, a divergent Walker A glutamic acid residue acts synergistically with a tyrosine residue to function in ADP-dependent subunit-subunit coordination, forming the "ADP-switch" motif. Another glutamic acid controls hexamer formation in the presence of nucleotides. Together, these results lead to a "residue-nucleotide" interaction map upon which to base AAA+ core regulation.
