Extracellular regulation of type IIa receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases: mechanistic insights from structural analyses.

ABSTRACT: The receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs) exhibit a wide repertoire of cellular signalling functions. In particular, type IIa RPTP family members have recently been highlighted as hubs for extracellular interactions in neurons, regulating neuronal extension and guidance, as well as synaptic organisation. In this review, we will discuss the recent progress of structural biology investigations into the architecture of type IIa RPTP ectodomains and their interactions with extracellular ligands. Structural insights, in combination with biophysical and cellular studies, allow us to begin to piece together molecular mechanisms for the transduction and integration of type IIa RPTP signals and to propose hypotheses for future experimental validation.

Structural insights into selective interaction between type IIa receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases and Liprin-α.

Project description:Synapse formation is induced by transsynaptic interaction of neuronal cell-adhesion molecules termed synaptic organizers. Type IIa receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (IIa RPTPs) function as presynaptic organizers. The cytoplasmic domain of IIa RPTPs consists of two phosphatase domains, and the membrane-distal one (D2) is essential for synapse formation. Liprin-α, which is an active zone protein critical for synapse formation, interacts with D2 via its C-terminal domain composed of three tandem sterile alpha motifs (tSAM). Structural mechanisms of this critical interaction for synapse formation remain elusive. Here, we report the crystal structure of the complex between mouse PTPδ D2 and Liprin-α3 tSAM at 1.91 Å resolution. PTPδ D2 interacts with the N-terminal helix and the first and second SAMs (SAM1 and SAM2, respectively) of Liprin-α3. Structure-based mutational analyses in vitro and in cellulo demonstrate that the interactions with Liprin-α SAM1 and SAM2 are essential for the binding and synaptogenic activity.

Mechanistic Insights into Regulation of JAK2 Tyrosine Kinase.

Project description:JAK2 is a member of the Janus kinase (JAKs) family of non-receptor protein tyrosine kinases, which includes JAK1-3 and TYK2. JAKs serve as the cytoplasmic signaling components of cytokine receptors and are activated through cytokine-mediated trans-phosphorylation, which leads to receptor phosphorylation and recruitment and phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins. JAKs are unique among tyrosine kinases in that they possess a pseudokinase domain, which is just upstream of the C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain. A wealth of biochemical and clinical data have established that the pseudokinase domain of JAKs is crucial for maintaining a low basal (absence of cytokine) level of tyrosine kinase activity. In particular, gain-of-function mutations in the JAK genes, most frequently, V617F in the pseudokinase domain of JAK2, have been mapped in patients with blood disorders, including myeloproliferative neoplasms and leukemias. Recent structural and biochemical studies have begun to decipher the molecular mechanisms that maintain the basal, low-activity state of JAKs and that, via mutation, lead to constitutive activity and disease. This review will examine these mechanisms and describe how this knowledge could potentially inform drug development efforts aimed at obtaining a mutant (V617F)-selective inhibitor of JAK2.

Receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases and cancer: new insights from structural biology.

Project description:There is general agreement that many cancers are associated with aberrant phosphotyrosine signaling, which can be caused by the inappropriate activities of tyrosine kinases or tyrosine phosphatases. Furthermore, incorrect activation of signaling pathways has been often linked to changes in adhesion events mediated by cell surface receptors. Among these receptors, receptor protein tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs) both antagonize tyrosine kinases as well as engage extracellular ligands. A recent wealth of data on this intriguing family indicates that its members can fulfill either tumor suppressing or oncogenic roles. The interpretation of these results at a molecular level has been greatly facilitated by the recent availability of structural information on the extra- and intracellular regions of RPTPs. These structures provide a molecular framework to understand how alterations in extracellular interactions can inactivate RPTPs in cancers or why the overexpression of certain RPTPs may also participate in tumor progression.

Structural Insights into the Active Site Formation of DUSP22 in N-loop-containing Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases.

Project description:Cysteine-based protein tyrosine phosphatases (Cys-based PTPs) perform dephosphorylation to regulate signaling pathways in cellular responses. The hydrogen bonding network in their active site plays an important conformational role and supports the phosphatase activity. Nearly half of dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) use three conserved residues, including aspartate in the D-loop, serine in the P-loop, and asparagine in the N-loop, to form the hydrogen bonding network, the D-, P-, N-triloop interaction (DPN-triloop interaction). In this study, DUSP22 is used to investigate the importance of the DPN-triloop interaction in active site formation. Alanine mutations and somatic mutations of the conserved residues, D57, S93, and N128 substantially decrease catalytic efficiency (kcat/KM) by more than 102-fold. Structural studies by NMR and crystallography reveal that each residue can perturb the three loops and induce conformational changes, indicating that the hydrogen bonding network aligns the residues in the correct positions for substrate interaction and catalysis. Studying the DPN-triloop interaction reveals the mechanism maintaining phosphatase activity in N-loop-containing PTPs and provides a foundation for further investigation of active site formation in different members of this protein class.

Structural Insights into Protein Regulation by Phosphorylation and Substrate Recognition of Protein Kinases/Phosphatases.

Project description:Protein phosphorylation is one of the most widely observed and important post-translational modification (PTM) processes. Protein phosphorylation is regulated by protein kinases, each of which covalently attaches a phosphate group to an amino acid side chain on a serine (Ser), threonine (Thr), or tyrosine (Tyr) residue of a protein, and by protein phosphatases, each of which, conversely, removes a phosphate group from a phosphoprotein. These reversible enzyme activities provide a regulatory mechanism by activating or deactivating many diverse functions of proteins in various cellular processes. In this review, their structures and substrate recognition are described and summarized, focusing on Ser/Thr protein kinases and protein Ser/Thr phosphatases, and the regulation of protein structures by phosphorylation. The studies reviewed here and the resulting information could contribute to further structural, biochemical, and combined studies on the mechanisms of protein phosphorylation and to drug discovery approaches targeting protein kinases or protein phosphatases.

Structural and mechanistic insights into MICU1 regulation of mitochondrial calcium uptake.

Project description:Mitochondrial calcium uptake is a critical event in various cellular activities. Two recently identified proteins, the mitochondrial Ca(2+) uniporter (MCU), which is the pore-forming subunit of a Ca(2+) channel, and mitochondrial calcium uptake 1 (MICU1), which is the regulator of MCU, are essential in this event. However, the molecular mechanism by which MICU1 regulates MCU remains elusive. In this study, we report the crystal structures of Ca(2+)-free and Ca(2+)-bound human MICU1. Our studies reveal that Ca(2+)-free MICU1 forms a hexamer that binds and inhibits MCU. Upon Ca(2+) binding, MICU1 undergoes large conformational changes, resulting in the formation of multiple oligomers to activate MCU. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the affinity of MICU1 for Ca(2+) is approximately 15-20 ?M. Collectively, our results provide valuable details to decipher the molecular mechanism of MICU1 regulation of mitochondrial calcium uptake.

Structural and mechanistic insights into type II trypanosomatid tryparedoxin-dependent peroxidases.

Project description:TbTDPX (Trypanosoma brucei tryparedoxin-dependent peroxidase) is a genetically validated drug target in the fight against African sleeping sickness. Despite its similarity to members of the GPX (glutathione peroxidase) family, TbTDPX2 is functional as a monomer, lacks a selenocysteine residue and relies instead on peroxidatic and resolving cysteine residues for catalysis and uses tryparedoxin rather than glutathione as electron donor. Kinetic studies indicate a saturable Ping Pong mechanism, unlike selenium-dependent GPXs, which display infinite K(m) and V(max) values. The structure of the reduced enzyme at 2.1 A (0.21 nm) resolution reveals that the catalytic thiol groups are widely separated [19 A (0.19 nm)] and thus unable to form a disulphide bond without a large conformational change in the secondary-structure architecture, as reported for certain plant GPXs. A model of the oxidized enzyme structure is presented and the implications for small-molecule inhibition are discussed.

Structural and mechanistic insights into regulation of the retromer coat by TBC1d5.

Project description:Retromer is a membrane coat complex that is recruited to endosomes by the small GTPase Rab7 and sorting nexin 3. The timing of this interaction and consequent endosomal dynamics are thought to be regulated by the guanine nucleotide cycle of Rab7. Here we demonstrate that TBC1d5, a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for Rab7, is a high-affinity ligand of the retromer cargo selective complex VPS26/VPS29/VPS35. The crystal structure of the TBC1d5 GAP domain bound to VPS29 and complementary biochemical and cellular data show that a loop from TBC1d5 binds to a conserved hydrophobic pocket on VPS29 opposite the VPS29-VPS35 interface. Additional data suggest that a distinct loop of the GAP domain may contact VPS35. Loss of TBC1d5 causes defective retromer-dependent trafficking of receptors. Our findings illustrate how retromer recruits a GAP, which is likely to be involved in the timing of Rab7 inactivation leading to membrane uncoating, with important consequences for receptor trafficking.

Structural and mechanistic insights into regulation of HBO1 histone acetyltransferase activity by BRPF2.

Project description:HBO1, a member of the MYST family of histone acetyltransferases (HATs), is required for global acetylation of histone H3K14 and embryonic development. It functions as a catalytic subunit in multisubunit complexes comprising a BRPF1/2/3 or JADE1/2/3 scaffold protein, and two accessory proteins. BRPF2 has been shown to be important for the HAT activity of HBO1 toward H3K14. Here we demonstrated that BRPF2 can regulate the HAT activity of HBO1 toward free H3 and H4, and nucleosomal H3. Particularly, a short N-terminal region of BRPF2 is sufficient for binding to HBO1 and can potentiate its activity toward H3K14. The crystal structure of the HBO1 MYST domain in complex with this segment of BRPF2 together with the biochemical and cell biological data revealed the key residues responsible for the HBO1-BRPF2 interaction. Our structural and functional data together indicate that the N-terminal region of BRPF2 plays an important role in the binding of HBO1 and a minor role in the binding of nucleosomes, which provide new mechanistic insights into the regulation of the HAT activity of HBO1 by BRPF2.

Computational analysis of the regulation of EGFR by protein tyrosine phosphatases.

Project description:The tyrosine phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) initiates numerous cell signaling pathways. Although EGFR phosphorylation levels are ultimately determined by the balance of receptor kinase and protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) activities, the kinetics of EGFR dephosphorylation are not well understood. Previous models of EGFR signaling have generally neglected PTP activity or computed PTP activity by considering data that do not fully reveal the kinetics and compartmentalization of EGFR dephosphorylation. We developed a compartmentalized, mechanistic model to elucidate the kinetics of EGFR dephosphorylation and the coupling of this process to phosphorylation-dependent EGFR endocytosis. Model regression against data from HeLa cells for EGFR phosphorylation response to EGFR activation, PTP inhibition, and EGFR kinase inhibition led to the conclusion that EGFR dephosphorylation occurs at the plasma membrane and in the cell interior with a timescale that is smaller than that for ligand-mediated EGFR endocytosis. The model further predicted that sufficiently rapid dephosphorylation of EGFR at the plasma membrane could potentially impede EGFR endocytosis, consistent with recent experimental findings. Overall, our results suggest that PTPs regulate multiple receptor-level phenomena via their action at the plasma membrane and cell interior and point to new possibilities for targeting PTPs for modulation of EGFR dynamics.
