Crystal structure of the effector-binding domain of Synechococcus elongatus CmpR in complex with ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate.

ABSTRACT: The CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) has evolved to improve the efficiency of photosynthesis in autotrophic cyanobacteria. CmpR, a LysR-type transcriptional regulator (LTTR) from Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, was found to regulate CCM-related genes under low-CO2 conditions. Here, the dimeric structure of the effector-binding domain of CmpR (CmpR-EBD) in complex with the co-activator ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) is reported at 2.15?Å resolution. One RuBP molecule binds to the inter-domain cleft between the two subunits of the CmpR-EBD dimer. Structural comparison combined with sequence analyses demonstrated that CmpR-EBD has an overall structure similar to those of LTTRs of known structure, but possesses a distinctly different effector-binding pattern.

Unusual ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase of anoxic Archaea.

Project description:The predominant pool of organic matter on earth is derived from the biological reduction and assimilation of carbon dioxide gas, catalyzed primarily by the enzyme ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO). By virtue of its capacity to use molecular oxygen as an alternative and competing gaseous substrate, the catalytic efficiency of RubisCO and the enzyme's ability to assimilate CO2 may be severely limited, with consequent environmental and agricultural effects. Recent genomic sequencing projects, however, have identified putative RubisCO genes from anoxic Archaea. In the present study, these potential RubisCO sequences, from Methanococcus jannaschii and Archaeoglobus fulgidus, were analyzed in order to ascertain whether such sequences might encode functional proteins. We also report the isolation and properties of recombinant RubisCO using sequences obtained from the obligately anaerobic hyperthermophilic methanogen M. jannaschii. This is the first description of an archaeal RubisCO sequence; this study also represents the initial characterization of a RubisCO molecule that has evolved in the absence of molecular oxygen. The enzyme was shown to be a homodimer whose deduced sequence, along with other recently obtained archaeal RubisCO sequences, differs substantially from those of known RubisCO molecules. The recombinant M. jannaschii enzyme has a somewhat low, but reasonable kcat, however, unlike previously isolated RubisCO molecules, this enzyme is very oxygen sensitive yet it is stable to hyperthermal temperatures and catalyzes the formation of the expected carboxylation product. Despite inhibition by oxygen, this unusual RubisCO still catalyzes a weak yet demonstrable oxygenase activity, with perhaps the lowest capacity for CO2/O2 discrimination ever encountered for any RubisCO.

Structure of Pisum sativum Rubisco with bound ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate.

Project description:The first structure of a ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) from a pulse crop is reported. Rubisco was purified from Pisum sativum (garden pea) and diffraction-quality crystals were obtained by hanging-drop vapour diffusion in the presence of the substrate ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate. X-ray diffraction data were recorded to 2.20?Å resolution from a single crystal at the Canadian Light Source. The overall quaternary structure of non-activated P. sativum Rubisco highlights the conservation of the form I Rubisco hexadecameric complex. The electron density places the substrate in the active site at the interface of the large-subunit dimers. Lys201 in the active site is not carbamylated as expected for this non-activated structure. Some heterogeneity in the small-subunit sequence is noted, as well as possible variations in the conformation and contacts of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate in the large-subunit active sites. Overall, the active-site conformation most closely correlates with the `closed' conformation observed in other substrate/inhibitor-bound Rubisco structures.

Identification of Interactions between Abscisic Acid and Ribulose-1,5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase/Oxygenase.

Project description:Abscisic acid ((+)-ABA) is a phytohormone involved in the modulation of developmental processes and stress responses in plants. A chemical proteomics approach using an ABA mimetic probe was combined with in vitro assays, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), x-ray crystallography and in silico modelling to identify putative (+)-ABA binding-proteins in crude extracts of Arabidopsis thaliana. Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) was identified as a putative ABA-binding protein. Radiolabelled-binding assays yielded a Kd of 47 nM for (+)-ABA binding to spinach Rubisco, which was validated by ITC, and found to be similar to reported and experimentally derived values for the native ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) substrate. Functionally, (+)-ABA caused only weak inhibition of Rubisco catalytic activity (Ki of 2.1 mM), but more potent inhibition of Rubisco activation (Ki of ~ 130 ?M). Comparative structural analysis of Rubisco in the presence of (+)-ABA with RuBP in the active site revealed only a putative low occupancy (+)-ABA binding site on the surface of the large subunit at a location distal from the active site. However, subtle distortions in electron density in the binding pocket and in silico docking support the possibility of a higher affinity (+)-ABA binding site in the RuBP binding pocket. Overall we conclude that (+)-ABA interacts with Rubisco. While the low occupancy (+)-ABA binding site and weak non-competitive inhibition of catalysis may not be relevant, the high affinity site may allow ABA to act as a negative effector of Rubisco activation.

Diel rhythms in ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase and glutamine synthetase gene expression in a natural population of marine picoplanktonic cyanobacteria (Synechococcus spp.).

Project description:Diel periodicity in the expression of key genes involved in carbon and nitrogen assimilation in marine Synechococcus spp. was investigated in a natural population growing in the surface waters of a cyclonic eddy in the northeast Atlantic Ocean. Synechococcus sp. cell concentrations within the upper mixed layer showed a net increase of three- to fourfold during the course of the experiment (13 to 22 July 1991), the population undergoing approximately one synchronous division per day. Consistent with the observed temporal pattern of phycoerythrin (CpeBA) biosynthesis, comparatively little variation was found in cpeBA mRNA abundance during either of the diel cycles investigated. In marked contrast, the relative abundance of transcripts originating from the genes encoding the large subunit of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rbcL) and glutamine synthetase (glnA) showed considerable systematic temporal variation and oscillated during the course of each diel cycle in a reciprocal rhythm. Whereas activation of rbcL transcription was clearly not light dependent, expression of glnA appeared sensitive to endogenous changes in the physiological demands for nitrogen that arise as a natural consequence of temporal periodicity in photosynthetic carbon assimilation. The data presented support the hypothesis that a degree of temporal separation may exist between the most active periods of carbon and nitrogen assimilation in natural populations of marine Synecoccoccus spp.

Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activates O2 by electron transfer.

Project description:Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is the cornerstone of atmospheric CO2 fixation by the biosphere. It catalyzes the addition of CO2 onto enolized ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), producing 3-phosphoglycerate which is then converted to sugars. The major problem of this reaction is competitive O2 addition, which forms a phosphorylated product (2-phosphoglycolate) that must be recycled by a series of biochemical reactions (photorespiratory metabolism). However, the way the enzyme activates O2 is still unknown. Here, we used isotope effects (with 2H, 25Mg, and 18O) to monitor O2 activation and assess the influence of outer sphere atoms, in two Rubisco forms of contrasted O2/CO2 selectivity. Neither the Rubisco form nor the use of solvent D2O and deuterated RuBP changed the 16O/18O isotope effect of O2 addition, in clear contrast with the 12C/13C isotope effect of CO2 addition. Furthermore, substitution of light magnesium (24Mg) by heavy, nuclear magnetic 25Mg had no effect on O2 addition. Therefore, outer sphere protons have no influence on the reaction and direct radical chemistry (intersystem crossing with triplet O2) does not seem to be involved in O2 activation. Computations indicate that the reduction potential of enolized RuBP (near 0.49 V) is compatible with superoxide (O2 •-) production, must be insensitive to deuteration, and yields a predicted 16O/18O isotope effect and energy barrier close to observed values. Overall, O2 undergoes single electron transfer to form short-lived superoxide, which then recombines to form a peroxide intermediate.

A unique structural domain in Methanococcoides burtonii ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) acts as a small subunit mimic.

Project description:The catalytic inefficiencies of the CO2-fixing enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) often limit plant productivity. Strategies to engineer more efficient plant Rubiscos have been hampered by evolutionary constraints, prompting interest in Rubisco isoforms from non-photosynthetic organisms. The methanogenic archaeon Methanococcoides burtonii contains a Rubisco isoform that functions to scavenge the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) by-product of purine/pyrimidine metabolism. The crystal structure of M. burtonii Rubisco (MbR) presented here at 2.6 Å resolution is composed of catalytic large subunits (LSu) assembled into pentamers of dimers, (L2)5, and differs from Rubiscos from higher plants where LSus are glued together by small subunits (SSu) into hexadecameric L8S8 enzymes. MbR contains a unique 29-amino acid insertion near the C terminus, which folds as a separate domain in the structure. This domain, which is visualized for the first time in this study, is located in a similar position to SSus in L8S8 enzymes between LSus of adjacent L2 dimers, where negatively charged residues coordinate around a Mg2+ ion in a fashion that suggests this domain may be important for the assembly process. The Rubisco assembly domain is thus an inbuilt SSu mimic that concentrates L2 dimers. MbR assembly is ligand-stimulated, and we show that only 6-carbon molecules with a particular stereochemistry at the C3 carbon can induce oligomerization. Based on MbR structure, subunit arrangement, sequence, phylogenetic distribution, and function, MbR and a subset of Rubiscos from the Methanosarcinales order are proposed to belong to a new Rubisco subgroup, named form IIIB.

Phylogenetic diversity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large-subunit genes from deep-sea microorganisms.

Project description:The phylogenetic diversity of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO, E.C. 4.1.1.39) large-subunit genes of deep-sea microorganisms was analyzed. Bulk genomic DNA was isolated from seven samples, including samples from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and various deep-sea habitats around Japan. The kinds of samples were hydrothermal vent water and chimney fragment; reducing sediments from a bathyal seep, a hadal seep, and a presumed seep; and symbiont-bearing tissues of the vent mussel, Bathymodiolus sp., and the seep vestimentiferan tubeworm, Lamellibrachia sp. The RuBisCO genes that encode both form I and form II large subunits (cbbL and cbbM) were amplified by PCR from the seven deep-sea sample DNA populations, cloned, and sequenced. From each sample, 50 cbbL clones and 50 cbbM clones, if amplified, were recovered and sequenced to group them into operational taxonomic units (OTUs). A total of 29 OTUs were recorded from the 300 total cbbL clones, and a total of 24 OTUs were recorded from the 250 total cbbM clones. All the current OTUs have the characteristic RuBisCO amino acid motif sequences that exist in other RuBisCOs. The recorded OTUs were related to different RuBisCO groups of proteobacteria, cyanobacteria, and eukarya. The diversity of the RuBisCO genes may be correlated with certain characteristics of the microbial habitats. The RuBisCO sequences from the symbiont-bearing tissues showed a phylogenetic relationship with those from the ambient bacteria. Also, the RuBisCO sequences of known species of thiobacilli and those from widely distributed marine habitats were closely related to each other. This suggests that the Thiobacillus-related RuBisCO may be distributed globally and contribute to the primary production in the deep sea.

Substrate-induced assembly of Methanococcoides burtonii D-ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase dimers into decamers.

Project description:Like many enzymes, the biogenesis of the multi-subunit CO(2)-fixing enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) in different organisms requires molecular chaperones. When expressed in Escherichia coli, the large (L) subunits of the Rubisco from the archaeabacterium Methanococcoides burtonii assemble into functional dimers (L(2)). However, further assembly into pentamers of L(2) (L(10)) occurs when expressed in tobacco chloroplasts or E. coli producing RuBP. In vitro analyses indicate that the sequential assembly of L(2) into L(10) (via detectable L(4) and L(6) intermediates) occurs without chaperone involvement and is stimulated by protein rearrangements associated with either the binding of substrate RuBP, the tight binding transition state analog carboxyarabinitol-1,5-bisphosphate, or inhibitory divalent metal ions within the active site. The catalytic properties of L(2) and L(10) M. burtonii Rubisco (MbR) were indistinguishable. At 25 degrees C they both shared a low specificity for CO(2) over O(2) (1.1 mol x mol(-1)) and RuBP carboxylation rates that were distinctively enhanced at low pH (approximately 4 s(-1) at pH 6, relative to 0.8 s(-1) at pH 8) with a temperature optimum of 55 degrees C. Like other archaeal Rubiscos, MbR also has a high O(2) affinity (K(m)(O(2)) = approximately 2.5 microM). The catalytic and structural similarities of MbR to other archaeal Rubiscos contrast with its closer sequence homology to bacterial L(2) Rubisco, complicating its classification within the Rubisco superfamily.

Preparative-scale enzymic synthesis of D-[14C]ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate.

Project description:A procedure is described to prepare uniformly labelled D-[14C]ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate enzymically from uniformly labelled D-[14C]glucose through the coupled reactions catalysed by hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1), glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.44) and 5-phosphoribulokinase (EC 2.7.1.19). All reagents utilized in the method are commercially available. The procedure is a reliable preparative-scale method for synthesizing the dibarium salt of D-[14C]ribulose 1,5-biphosphate with a specific radioactivity up to 7 mCi/mmol and a purity near 90%. The final product was free of other 14C-labelled sugars, sugar phosphate esters, Pi and nucleotides.

Real-time PCR quantification of rbcL (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) mRNA in diatoms and pelagophytes.

Project description:Transcriptional activity is often used as a surrogate for gene expression in environmental microbial communities. We developed a real-time PCR assay in which the ABI-Prism (PE Applied Biosystems) detection system is used for quantification of large-subunit ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate caboxylase/oxygenase (rbcL) mRNA in diatoms and pelagophytes both in cultures and from natural phytoplankton communities. Plasmid DNA containing rbcL inserts, as well as in vitro transcribed mRNA of the plasmids, was used to generate standard curves with a dynamic range of more than 6 orders of magnitude with high accuracy and precision (R(2) = 0.998). Expression levels in a cultured diatom (Phaeodactylum tricornutum) were quantified through one light-dark cycle by using traditional 35S-labeled oligonucleotide hybridization and real-time PCR. The mRNA levels detected by the two techniques were similar and correlated well (R(2) = 0.95; slope = 1.2). The quantities obtained by hybridization were slightly, yet significantly, larger (t = 5.29; P = 0.0011) than the quantities obtained by real-time PCR. This was most likely because partially degraded transcripts were not detected by real-time PCR. rbcL mRNA detection by real-time PCR was 3 orders of magnitude more sensitive than rbcL mRNA detection by hybridization. Diatom and pelagophyte rbcL mRNAs were also quantified in a profile from an oligotrophic site in the Gulf of Mexico. We detected the smallest amount of diatom rbcL expression in the surface water and maximum expression at a depth that coincided with the depth of the subsurface chlorophyll maximum. These results indicate that real-time PCR may be utilized for quantification of microbial gene expression in the environment.
