Routes of phosphoryl group transfer during signal transmission and signal decay in the dimeric sensor histidine kinase ArcB.

ABSTRACT: The Arc (anoxic redox control) two-component system of Escherichia coli, comprising ArcA as the response regulator and ArcB as the sensor histidine kinase, modulates the expression of numerous genes in response to respiratory growth conditions. Under reducing growth conditions, ArcB autophosphorylates at the expense of ATP, and transphosphorylates ArcA via a His²⁹² → Asp⁵⁷⁶ → His⁷¹⁷ → Asp⁵⁴ phosphorelay, whereas under oxidizing growth conditions, ArcB catalyzes the dephosphorylation of ArcA-P by a reverse Asp⁵⁴ → His⁷¹⁷ → Asp⁵⁷⁶ → P_i phosphorelay. However, the exact phosphoryl group transfer routes and the molecular mechanisms determining their directions are unclear. Here, we show that, during signal propagation, the His²⁹² → Asp⁵⁷⁶ and Asp⁵⁷⁶ → His⁷¹⁷ phosphoryl group transfers within ArcB dimers occur intra- and intermolecularly, respectively. Moreover, we report that, during signal decay, the phosphoryl group transfer from His⁷¹⁷ to Asp⁵⁷⁶ takes place intramolecularly. In conclusion, we present a mechanism that dictates the direction of the phosphoryl group transfer within ArcB dimers and that enables the discrimination of the kinase and phosphatase activities of ArcB.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The kinome is made up of a large number of functionally diverse enzymes, with the classification indicating very little about the extent of the conserved kinetic mechanisms associated with phosphoryl transfer. It has been demonstrated that C8-H of ATP plays a critical role in the activity of a range of kinase and synthetase enzymes. RESULTS: A number of conserved mechanisms within the prescribed kinase fold families have been identified directly utilizing the C8-H of ATP in the initiation of phosphoryl transfer. These mechanisms are based on structurally conserved amino acid residues that are within hydrogen bonding distance of a co-crystallized nucleotide. On the basis of these conserved mechanisms, the role of the nucleotide C8-H in initiating the formation of a pentavalent intermediate between the ?-phosphate of the ATP and the substrate nucleophile is defined. All reactions can be clustered into two mechanisms by which the C8-H is induced to be labile via the coordination of a backbone carbonyl to C6-NH2 of the adenyl moiety, namely a "push" mechanism, and a "pull" mechanism, based on the protonation of N7. Associated with the "push" mechanism and "pull" mechanisms are a series of proton transfer cascades, initiated from C8-H, via the tri-phosphate backbone, culminating in the formation of the pentavalent transition state between the ?-phosphate of the ATP and the substrate nucleophile. CONCLUSIONS: The "push" mechanism and a "pull" mechanism are responsible for inducing the C8-H of adenyl moiety to become more labile. These mechanisms and the associated proton transfer cascades achieve the proton transfer via different family-specific conserved sets of amino acids. Each of these mechanisms would allow for the regulation of the rate of formation of the pentavalent intermediate between the ATP and the substrate nucleophile. Phosphoryl transfer within kinases is therefore a specific event mediated and regulated via the coordination of the adenyl moiety of ATP and the C8-H of the adenyl moiety.
