Structural analysis of Wss1 protein from saccharomyces cerevisiae.

ABSTRACT: Wss1 is a DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs) repair protein, which is responsible for degradation of the protein components in DPCs. In this investigation, crystal structure of the protease domain from saccharomyces cerevisiae Wss1 (ScWss1) was solved and was compared with the known crystal structure of Schizosaccharomyces prombe Wss1 (SpWss1). It is found that the cleft near zinc ion to be the most conserved core region of Wss1 and that the electronic surface distributions vary greatly between the two homologs. Solution architecture of the full-length ScWss1 was further investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), which indicated the protein contains a flexible region inside. Finally, based on the structural information, a mechanism was proposed about how the enzyme is activated by DNA substrates.

Global analysis of protein homomerization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:In vivo analyses of the occurrence, subcellular localization, and dynamics of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are important issues in functional proteomic studies. The bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay has many advantages in that it provides a reliable way to detect PPIs in living cells with minimal perturbation of the structure and function of the target proteins. Previously, to facilitate the application of the BiFC assay to genome-wide analysis of PPIs, we generated a collection of yeast strains expressing full-length proteins tagged with the N-terminal fragment of Venus (VN), a yellow fluorescent protein variant, from their own native promoters. In the present study, we constructed a VC (the C-terminal fragment of Venus) fusion library consisting of 5671 MATα strains expressing C-terminally VC-tagged proteins (representing ∼91% of the yeast proteome). For genome-wide analysis of protein homomer formation, we mated each strain in the VC fusion library with its cognate strain in the VN fusion library and performed the BiFC assay. From this analysis, we identified 186 homomer candidates. We further investigated the functional relevance of the homomerization of Pln1, a yeast perilipin. Our data set provides a useful resource for understanding the physiological roles of protein homomerization. Furthermore, the VC fusion library together with the VN fusion library will provide a valuable platform to systematically analyze PPIs in the natural cellular context.

Global signatures of protein binding on structural RNAs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Project description:Protein binding is essential to the transport, decay and regulation of almost all RNA molecules. However, the structural preference of protein binding on RNAs and their cellelar functions and dynamics upon changing environmental condictions are poorly understood. Here, we integrated various high-throughput data and introduced a computational framework to describe the global interactions between RNA binding proteins (RBPs) and structured RNAs in yeast at single-nucleotide resolution. We found that on average, in terms of percent total lengths, ~15% of mRNA untranslated regions (UTRs), ~37% of canonical ncRNAs and ~11% of long ncRNA (lncRNAs) are bound by proteins. The RBP binding sites, in general, tend to occur at single-stranded loops, with evolutionarily conserved signatures, and often facilitate a specific RNA structure conformation in vivo. We found that four nucleotide modifications of tRNA are significantly associated with RBP binding. We also identified various structural motifs bound by RBPs in the UTRs of mRNAs, associated with localization, degradation and stress responces. Moreover, we identified >200 novel lncRNAs bound by RBPs, and about half of them contain conserved secondary structures. We present the first ensemble pattern of RBP binding sites in the structured noncoding regions of a eukaryotic genome, emphasizing their structural context and cellular functions.

Compositional and structural analysis of selected chromosomal domains from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Chromatin is the template for replication and transcription in the eukaryotic nucleus, which needs to be defined in composition and structure before these processes can be fully understood. We report an isolation protocol for the targeted purification of specific genomic regions in their native chromatin context from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Subdomains of the multicopy ribosomal DNA locus containing transcription units of RNA polymerases I, II or III or an autonomous replication sequence were independently purified in sufficient amounts and purity to analyze protein composition and histone modifications by mass spectrometry. We present and discuss the proteomic data sets obtained for chromatin in different functional states. The native chromatin was further amenable to electron microscopy analysis yielding information about nucleosome occupancy and positioning at the single-molecule level. We also provide evidence that chromatin from virtually every single copy genomic locus of interest can be purified and analyzed by this technique.

Protein phosphatases of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:The phosphorylation status of a protein is highly regulated and is determined by the opposing activities of protein kinases and protein phosphatases within the cell. While much is known about the protein kinases found in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the protein phosphatases are much less characterized. Of the 127 protein kinases in yeast, over 90% are in the same evolutionary lineage. In contrast, protein phosphatases are fewer in number (only 43 have been identified in yeast) and comprise multiple, distinct evolutionary lineages. Here we review the protein phosphatase families of yeast with regard to structure, catalytic mechanism, regulation, and signal transduction participation.

A structural analysis of the AAA+ domains in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytoplasmic dynein.

Project description:Dyneins are large protein complexes that act as microtubule based molecular motors. The dynein heavy chain contains a motor domain which is a member of the AAA+ protein family (ATPases Associated with diverse cellular Activities). Proteins of the AAA+ family show a diverse range of functionalities, but share a related core AAA+ domain, which often assembles into hexameric rings. Dynein is unusual because it has all six AAA+ domains linked together, in one long polypeptide. The dynein motor domain generates movement by coupling ATP driven conformational changes in the AAA+ ring to the swing of a motile element called the linker. Dynein binds to its microtubule track via a long antiparallel coiled-coil stalk that emanates from the AAA+ ring. Recently the first high resolution structures of the dynein motor domain were published. Here we provide a detailed structural analysis of the six AAA+ domains using our Saccharomycescerevisiae crystal structure. We describe how structural similarities in the dynein AAA+ domains suggest they share a common evolutionary origin. We analyse how the different AAA+ domains have diverged from each other. We discuss how this is related to the function of dynein as a motor protein and how the AAA+ domains of dynein compare to those of other AAA+ proteins.

Genetic and structural analysis of Hmg2p-induced endoplasmic reticulum remodeling in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is highly plastic, and increased expression of distinct single ER-resident membrane proteins, such as HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR), can induce a dramatic restructuring of ER membranes into highly organized arrays. Studies on the ER-remodeling behavior of the two yeast HMGR isozymes, Hmg1p and Hmg2p, suggest that they could be mechanistically distinct. We examined the features of Hmg2p required to generate its characteristic structures, and we found that the molecular requirements are similar to those of Hmg1p. However, the structures generated by Hmg1p and Hmg2p have distinct cell biological features determined by the transmembrane regions of the proteins. In parallel, we conducted a genetic screen to identify HER genes (required for Hmg2p-induced ER Remodeling), further confirming that the mechanisms of membrane reorganization by these two proteins are distinct because most of the HER genes were required for Hmg2p but not Hmg1p-induced ER remodeling. One of the HER genes identified was PSD1, which encodes the phospholipid biosynthetic enzyme phosphatidylserine decarboxylase. This direct connection to phospholipid biosynthesis prompted a more detailed examination of the effects of Hmg2p on phospholipid mutants and composition. Our analysis revealed that overexpression of Hmg2p caused significant and specific growth defects in nulls of the methylation pathway for phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis that includes the Psd1p enzyme. Furthermore, increased expression of Hmg2p altered the composition of cellular phospholipids in a manner that implied a role for PSD1. These phospholipid effects, unlike Hmg2p-induced ER remodeling, required the enzymatic activity of Hmg2p. Together, our results indicate that, although related, Hmg2p- and Hmg1p-induced ER remodeling are mechanistically distinct.

Structural Analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Dihydroorotase Reveals Molecular Insights into the Tetramerization Mechanism.

Project description:Dihydroorotase (DHOase), a dimetalloenzyme containing a carbamylated lysine within the active site, is a member of the cyclic amidohydrolase family, which also includes allantoinase (ALLase), dihydropyrimidinase (DHPase), hydantoinase, and imidase. Unlike most known cyclic amidohydrolases, which are tetrameric, DHOase exists as a monomer or dimer. Here, we report and analyze two crystal structures of the eukaryotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae DHOase (ScDHOase) complexed with malate. The structures of different DHOases were also compared. An asymmetric unit of these crystals contained four crystallographically independent ScDHOase monomers. ScDHOase shares structural similarity with Escherichia coli DHOase (EcDHOase). Unlike EcDHOase, ScDHOase can form tetramers, both in the crystalline state and in solution. In addition, the subunit-interacting residues of ScDHOase for dimerization and tetramerization are significantly different from those of other DHOases. The tetramerization pattern of ScDHOase is also different from those of DHPase and ALLase. Based on sequence analysis and structural evidence, we identify two unique helices (α6 and α10) and a loop (loop 7) for tetramerization, and discuss why the residues for tetramerization in ScDHOase are not necessarily conserved among DHOases.

Direct structural analysis of a single acyl carrier protein domain in fatty acid synthase from the fungus Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Acyl carrier protein (ACP) is the work horse of polyketide (PKS) and fatty acid synthases (FAS) and acts as a substrate shuttling domain in these mega enzymes. In fungi, FAS forms a 2.6 MDa symmetric assembly with six identical copies of FAS1 and FAS2 polypeptides. However, ACP spatial distribution is not restricted by symmetry owing to the long and flexible loops that tether the shuttling domain to its corresponding FAS2 polypeptide. This symmetry breaking has hampered experimental investigation of substrate shuttling route in fungal FAS. Here, we develop a protein engineering and expression method to isolate asymmetric fungal FAS proteins containing odd numbers of ACP domains. Electron cryomicroscopy (cryoEM) observation of the engineered complex reveals a non-uniform distribution of the substrate shuttling domain relative to its corresponding FAS2 polypeptide at 2.9 Å resolution. This work lays the methodological foundation for experimental study of ACP shuttling route in fungi.

Structural basis for the function of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Gfd1 protein in mRNA nuclear export.

Project description:Following transcription, mRNA is processed, packaged into messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) particles, and transported through nuclear pores (NPCs) to the cytoplasm. At the NPC cytoplasmic face, Dbp5 mediates mRNP remodeling and mRNA export factor dissociation, releasing transcripts for translation. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the conserved poly(A) RNA-binding protein, Nab2, facilitates NPC targeting of transcripts and also modulates poly(A) tail length. Dbp5 removes Nab2 from mRNPs at the cytoplasmic face of the pore and, importantly, a Nab2 RNA-binding mutant suppresses the thermosensitive rat8-2 (dbp5) mutant. GFD1 is a multicopy suppressor of rat8-2 (dbp5), and Gfd1 interacts physically with both Dbp5 and the Nab2 N-terminal domain (Nab2-N). Here, we present a structural and functional analysis of the Gfd1/Nab2-N interaction. Crystallography, supported by solution NMR, shows that Gfd1 residues 126-150 form an alpha-helix when bound to Nab2-N. Engineered Nab2-N and Gfd1 mutants that inhibit this interaction in vitro were used to probe its function in vivo using the genetic interaction between GFD1 and NAB2. Although GFD1 is not essential for viability, its deletion severely impairs growth of rat8-2 (dbp5) cells. Moreover, although Gfd1 overexpression suppresses rat8-2 (dbp5), Gfd1 mutants that do not bind Nab2 only partially suppress rat8-2 (dbp5). Furthermore, rat8-2 (dbp5) cells that express nab2-Y34A, in which binding to Gfd1 is impaired, show a synthetic growth phenotype and nuclear accumulation of poly(A) RNA. These data support the importance of the Gfd1/Nab2 interaction for Dbp5 activity and provide further molecular details of the interactions that facilitate Dbp5-mediated mRNP remodeling in the terminal step of mRNA export.
