Coiled-Coil Formation Conveys a STIM1 Signal from ER Lumen to Cytoplasm.

ABSTRACT: STIM1 and STIM2 are endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane proteins that sense decreases in ER-luminal free Ca2+ and, through a conformational change in the STIM cytoplasmic domain, control gating of the plasma membrane Ca2+ channel ORAI1. To determine how STIM1 conveys a signal from the ER lumen to the cytoplasm, we studied the Ca2+-dependent conformational change of engineered STIM1 proteins in isolated ER membranes and, in parallel, physiological activation of these proteins in cells. We find that conserved "sentinel" features of the CC1 region help to prevent activation while Ca2+ is bound to STIM ER-luminal domains. Reduced ER-luminal Ca2+ drives a concerted conformational change, in which STIM luminal domains rearrange and the STIM transmembrane helices and initial parts of the CC1 regions pair in an extended coiled coil. This intradimer rearrangement overcomes the relatively weak CC1-SOAR/CAD interactions that hold STIM in an inactive conformation, releasing the SOAR/CAD domain to activate ORAI channels.

Resonance assignment of coiled-coil 3 (CC3) domain of human STIM1.

Project description:The protein stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) plays a pivotal role in mediating store-operated calcium entry (SOCE) into cells, which is essential for adaptive immunity. It acts as a calcium sensor in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and extends into the cytosol, where it changes from an inactive (tight) to an active (extended) oligomeric form upon calcium store depletion. NMR studies of this protein are challenging due to its membrane-spanning and aggregation properties. Therefore follow the divide-and-conquer approach, focusing on individual domains first is in order. The cytosolic part is predicted to have a large content of coiled-coil (CC) structure. We report the 1H, 13C, 15N chemical shift assignments of the CC3 domain. This domain is crucial for the stabilisation of the tight quiescent form of STIM1 as well as for activating the ORAI calcium channel by direct contact, in the extended active form.

Molecular basis of coiled-coil formation.

Project description:Coiled coils have attracted considerable interest as design templates in a wide range of applications. Successful coiled-coil design strategies therefore require a detailed understanding of coiled-coil folding. One common feature shared by coiled coils is the presence of a short autonomous helical folding unit, termed "trigger sequence," that is indispensable for folding. Detailed knowledge of trigger sequences at the molecular level is thus key to a general understanding of coiled-coil formation. Using a multidisciplinary approach, we identify and characterize here the molecular determinants that specify the helical conformation of the monomeric early folding intermediate of the GCN4 coiled coil. We demonstrate that a network of hydrogen-bonding and electrostatic interactions stabilize the trigger-sequence helix. This network is rearranged in the final dimeric coiled-coil structure, and its destabilization significantly slows down GCN4 leucine zipper folding. Our findings provide a general explanation for the molecular mechanism of coiled-coil formation.

STIM1/Orai1 coiled-coil interplay in the regulation of store-operated calcium entry.

Project description:Orai1 calcium channels in the plasma membrane are activated by stromal interaction molecule-1 (STIM1), an endoplasmic reticulum calcium sensor, to mediate store-operated calcium entry (SOCE). The cytosolic region of STIM1 contains a long putative coiled-coil (CC)1 segment and shorter CC2 and CC3 domains. Here we present solution nuclear magnetic resonance structures of a trypsin-resistant CC1-CC2 fragment in the apo and Orai1-bound states. Each CC1-CC2 subunit forms a U-shaped structure that homodimerizes through antiparallel interactions between equivalent α-helices. The CC2:CC2' helix pair clamps two identical acidic Orai1 C-terminal helices at opposite ends of a hydrophobic/basic STIM-Orai association pocket. STIM1 mutants disrupting CC1:CC1' interactions attenuate, while variants promoting CC1 stability spontaneously activate Orai1 currents. CC2 mutations cause remarkable variability in Orai1 activation because of a dual function in binding Orai1 and autoinhibiting STIM1 oligomerization via interactions with CC3. We conclude that SOCE is activated through dynamic interplay between STIM1 and Orai1 helices.

A coiled-coil clamp controls both conformation and clustering of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1).

Project description:Store-operated Ca(2+) entry, essential for the adaptive immunity, is initiated by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) sensor STIM1. Ca(2+) entry occurs through the plasma membrane resident Ca(2+) channel Orai1 that directly interacts with the C-terminal STIM1 domain, named SOAR/CAD. Depletion of the ER Ca(2+) store controls this STIM1/Orai1 interaction via transition to an extended STIM1 C-terminal conformation, exposure of the SOAR/CAD domain, and STIM1/Orai1 co-clustering. Here we developed a novel approach termed FRET-derived Interaction in a Restricted Environment (FIRE) in an attempt to dissect the interplay of coiled-coil (CC) interactions in controlling STIM1 quiescent as well as active conformation and cluster formation. We present evidence of a sequential activation mechanism in the STIM1 cytosolic domains where the interaction between CC1 and CC3 segment regulates both SOAR/CAD exposure and CC3-mediated higher-order oligomerization as well as cluster formation. These dual levels of STIM1 auto-inhibition provide efficient control over the coupling to and activation of Orai1 channels.

Molecular determinants of the coupling between STIM1 and Orai channels: differential activation of Orai1-3 channels by a STIM1 coiled-coil mutant.

Project description:STIM1 and Orai1 have been reported to interact upon store depletion culminating in Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) current activation. Recently, the essential region has been identified within the STIM1 C terminus that includes the second coiled-coil domain C-terminally extended by approximately 50 amino acids and exhibits a strong binding to the Orai1 C terminus. Based on the homology within the Orai family, an analogous scenario might be assumed for Orai2 as well as Orai3 channels as both are activated in a similar STIM1-dependent manner. A combined approach of electrophysiology and Foerster resonance energy transfer microscopy uncovered a general mechanism in the communication of STIM1 with Orai proteins that involved the conserved putative coiled-coil domains in the respective Orai C terminus and the second coiled-coil motif in the STIM1 C terminus. A coiled-coil single mutation in the Orai1 C terminus abrogated communication with the STIM1 C terminus, whereas an analogous mutation in Orai2 and Orai3 still allowed for their moderate activation. However, increasing coiled-coil probability by a gain of function deletion in Orai1 or by generating an Orai1-Orai3 chimera containing the Orai3 C terminus recovered stimulation to a similar extent as with Orai2/3. At the level of STIM1, decreasing probability of the second coiled-coil domain by a single mutation within the STIM1 C terminus abolished activation of Orai1 but still enabled partial stimulation of Orai2/3 channels. A double mutation within the second coiled-coil motif of the STIM1 C terminus fully disrupted communication with all three Orai channels. In aggregate, the impairment in the overall communication between STIM1 and Orai channels upon decreasing probabilities of either one of the putative coiled-coil domains in the C termini might be compatible with the concept of their functional, heteromeric interaction.

A Hendecad Motif Is Preferred for Heterochiral Coiled-Coil Formation.

Project description:The structural principles that govern interactions between l- and d-peptides are not well understood. Among natural proteins, coiled-coil assemblies formed between or among α-helices are the most regular feature of tertiary and quaternary structures. We recently reported the first high-resolution structures for heterochiral coiled-coil dimers, which represent a starting point for understanding associations of l- and d-polypeptides. These structures were an unexpected outcome from crystallization of a racemic peptide corresponding to the transmembrane domain of the influenza A M2 protein (M2-TM). The reported structures raised the possibility that heterochiral coiled-coil dimers prefer an 11-residue (hendecad) sequence repeat, in contrast to the 7-residue (heptad) sequence repeat that is dominant among natural coiled coils. To gain insight on sequence repeat preferences of heterochiral coiled-coils, we have examined three M2-TM variants containing substitutions intended to minimize steric clashes between side chains at the coiled-coil interface. In each of the three new crystal structures, we observed heterochiral coiled-coil associations that closely match a hendecad sequence motif, which strengthens the conclusion that this motif is intrinsic to the pairing of α-helices with opposite handedness. In each case, the presence of a hendecad motif was established by comparing the observed helical frequency to that of an ideal hendecad. This comparison revealed that decreasing the size of the amino acid side chain at positions that project toward the superhelical axis produces tighter packing, as determined by the size of the coiled-coil radius. These results provide a basis for future design of heterochiral coiled-coil pairings.

Missense mutation in immunodeficient patients shows the multifunctional roles of coiled-coil domain 3 (CC3) in STIM1 activation.

Project description:Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is a universal Ca(2+) influx pathway that is important for the function of many cell types. SOCE occurs upon depletion of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca(2+) stores and relies on a complex molecular interplay between the plasma membrane (PM) Ca(2+) channel ORAI1 and the ER Ca(2+) sensor stromal interaction molecule (STIM) 1. Patients with null mutations in ORAI1 or STIM1 genes present with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)-like disease. Here, we describe the molecular mechanisms by which a loss-of-function STIM1 mutation (R429C) in human patients abolishes SOCE. R429 is located in the third coiled-coil (CC3) domain of the cytoplasmic C terminus of STIM1. Mutation of R429 destabilizes the CC3 structure and alters the conformation of the STIM1 C terminus, thereby releasing a polybasic domain that promotes STIM1 recruitment to ER-PM junctions. However, the mutation also impairs cytoplasmic STIM1 oligomerization and abolishes STIM1-ORAI1 interactions. Thus, despite its constitutive localization at ER-PM junctions, mutant STIM1 fails to activate SOCE. Our results demonstrate multifunctional roles of the CC3 domain in regulating intra- and intermolecular STIM1 interactions that control (i) transition of STIM1 from a quiescent to an active conformational state, (ii) cytoplasmic STIM1 oligomerization, and (iii) STIM1-ORAI1 binding required for ORAI1 activation.

Coiled-coil formation on lipid bilayers--implications for docking and fusion efficiency.

Project description:Coiled-coil formation of four different oligopeptides was characterized in solution, on hydrogels, and on membranes by employing circular dichroism spectroscopy, surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy, and ellipsometry. Peptide sequences rich in either glutamic acid (E: E3Cys, i-E3Cys) or lysine (K: K3Cys, i-K3Cys) were used to represent minimal mimics of eukaryotic SNARE motifs. Half of the peptides were synthesized in reverse sequence, so that parallel and antiparallel heptad coiled-coil structures were formed. Either E-peptides or K-peptides were attached covalently to phospholipid anchors via maleimide chemistry, and served as receptors for the recognition of the corresponding binding partners added to solution. Attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy of single bilayers confirmed the formation of coiled-coil complexes at the membrane interface. Coiled-coil formation in solution, as compared with association at the membrane surface, displays considerably larger binding constants that are largely attributed to loss of translational entropy at the interface. Finally, the fusogenicity of the various coiled-coil motifs was explored, and the results provide clear evidence that hemifusion followed by full fusion requires a parallel orientation of α-helices, whereas antiparallel oriented coiled-coil motifs display only docking.

A basic sequence in STIM1 promotes Ca2+ influx by interacting with the C-terminal acidic coiled coil of Orai1.

Project description:Store-operated Ca(2+) entry (SOCE) is a ubiquitous signaling process in eukaryotic cells in which the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized Ca(2+) sensor, STIM1, activates the plasma membrane-localized Ca(2+) release-activated Ca(2+) (CRAC) channel, Orai1, in response to emptying of ER Ca(2+) stores. In efforts to understand this activation mechanism, we recently identified an acidic coiled-coil region in the C-terminus of Orai1 that contributes to physical association between these two proteins, as measured by fluorescence resonance energy transfer, and is necessary for Ca(2+) influx, as measured by an intracellular Ca(2+) indicator. Here, we present evidence that a positively charged sequence of STIM1 in its CRAC channel activating domain, human residues 384-386, is necessary for activation of SOCE, most likely because this sequence interacts directly with the acidic coiled coil of Orai1 to gate Ca(2+) influx. We find that mutation to remove positive charges in these residues in STIM1 prevents its stimulated association with wild-type Orai1. However, association does occur between this mutant STIM1 and Orai1 that is mutated to remove negative charges in its C-terminal coiled coil, indicating that other structural features are sufficient for this interaction. Despite this physical association, we find that thapsigargin fails to activate SOCE following coexpression of mutant STIM1 with either wild type or mutant Orai1, implicating STIM1 residues 384-386 in transmission of the Ca(2+) gating signal to Orai1 following store depletion.

A seven-helix coiled coil.

Project description:Coiled-coil proteins contain a characteristic seven-residue sequence repeat whose positions are designated a to g. The interacting surface between alpha-helices in a classical coiled coil is formed by interspersing nonpolar side chains at the a and d positions with hydrophilic residues at the flanking e and g positions. To explore how the chemical nature of these core amino acids dictates the overall coiled-coil architecture, we replaced all eight e and g residues in the GCN4 leucine zipper with nonpolar alanine side chains. Surprisingly, the alanine-containing mutant forms a stable alpha-helical heptamer in aqueous solution. The 1.25-A resolution crystal structure of the heptamer reveals a parallel seven-stranded coiled coil enclosing a large tubular channel with an unusual heptad register shift between adjacent staggered helices. The overall geometry comprises two interleaved hydrophobic helical screws of interacting cross-sectional a and d layers that have not been seen before. Moreover, asparagines at the a positions play an essential role in heptamer formation by participating in a set of buried interhelix hydrogen bonds. These results demonstrate that heptad repeats containing four hydrophobic positions can direct assembly of complex, higher-order coiled-coil structures with rich diversity for close packing of alpha-helices.
