Insight into the molecular recognition mechanism of the coactivator NCoA1 by STAT6.

ABSTRACT: Crucial for immune and anti-inflammatory cellular responses, signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) regulates transcriptional activation in response to interleukin-4 and -13 -induced tyrosine phosphorylation by direct interaction with coactivators. The interaction of STAT6 with nuclear coactivator 1 (NCoA1) is mediated by a short region of the STAT6 transactivation domain that includes the motif LXXLL and interacts with the PAS-B domain of NCoA1. Despite the availability of an X-ray structure of the PAS-B domain/ Leu794-Gly814-STAT6 complex, the mechanistic details of this interaction are still poorly understood. Here, we determine the structure of the NCoA1257-385/STAT6783-814 complex using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and X-ray crystallography. The STAT6783-814 peptide binds with additional N-terminal amino acids to NCoA1257-385, compared to the STAT6794-814 peptide, explaining its higher affinity. Secondary and tertiary structures existing in the free peptide are more highly populated in the complex, suggesting binding by conformational selection.

Project description:UnlabelledLassa virus is a notorious human pathogen that infects many thousands of people each year in West Africa, causing severe viral hemorrhagic fevers and significant mortality. The surface glycoprotein of Lassa virus mediates receptor recognition through its GP1 subunit. Here we report the crystal structure of GP1 from Lassa virus, which is the first representative GP1 structure for Old World arenaviruses. We identify a unique triad of histidines that forms a binding site for LAMP1, a known lysosomal protein recently discovered to be a critical receptor for internalized Lassa virus at acidic pH. We demonstrate that mutation of this histidine triad, which is highly conserved among Old World arenaviruses, impairs LAMP1 recognition. Our biochemical and structural data further suggest that GP1 from Lassa virus may undergo irreversible conformational changes that could serve as an immunological decoy mechanism. Together with a variable region that we identify on the surface of GP1, those could be two distinct mechanisms that Lassa virus utilizes to avoid antibody-based immune response.ImportanceStructural data at atomic resolution for viral proteins is key for understanding their function at the molecular level and can facilitate novel avenues for combating viral infections. Here we used X-ray protein crystallography to decipher the crystal structure of the receptor-binding domain (GP1) from Lassa virus. This is a pathogenic virus that causes significant illness and mortality in West Africa. This structure reveals the overall architecture of GP1 domains from the group of viruses known as the Old World arenaviruses. Using this structural information, we elucidated the mechanisms for pH switch and binding of Lassa virus to LAMP1, a recently identified host receptor that is critical for successful infection. Lastly, our structural analysis suggests two novel immune evasion mechanisms that Lassa virus may utilize to escape antibody-based immune response.
