Protein X-ray crystallography of the 14-3-3?/SOS1 complex.

ABSTRACT: Activation of Ras-MAPK signaling regulates essential cellular functions; its aberration leads to irregular cell proliferation and differentiation (i.e. pancreatic cancer). Previously, it was revealed that the formation of the complex of the 14-3-3 protein and the Son of sevenless homolog 1 (SOS1) - one of the main actors of the Ras-MAPK cascade -, would represent a key-process to downstream the deviant Ra-MAPK signaling. In this data article we attempt to shed some light on the 3D structure, providing useful details about the crystallization process of the 14-3-3? dimer in complex with the 13-mer SOS1pS1161. The crystal structure is deposited at the Protein Data Bank with identifier 6F08. This Data in Brief article refers to "Structural characterization of 14-3-3? in complex with the human Son of sevenless homolog 1 (SOS1) (2018)."

Molecular basis and dual ligand regulation of tetrameric estrogen receptor α/14-3-3ζ protein complex.

Project description:Therapeutic strategies targeting nuclear receptors (NRs) beyond their endogenous ligand binding pocket have gained significant scientific interest driven by a need to circumvent problems associated with drug resistance and pharmacological profile. The hub protein 14-3-3 is an endogenous regulator of various NRs, providing a novel entry point for small molecule modulation of NR activity. Exemplified, 14-3-3 binding to the C-terminal F-domain of the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), and small molecule stabilization of the ERα/14-3-3ζ protein complex by the natural product Fusicoccin A (FC-A), was demonstrated to downregulate ERα-mediated breast cancer proliferation. This presents a novel drug discovery approach to target ERα; however, structural and mechanistic insights into ERα/14-3-3 complex formation are lacking. Here, we provide an in-depth molecular understanding of the ERα/14-3-3ζ complex by isolating 14-3-3ζ in complex with an ERα protein construct comprising its ligand-binding domain (LBD) and phosphorylated F-domain. Bacterial co-expression and co-purification of the ERα/14-3-3ζ complex, followed by extensive biophysical and structural characterization, revealed a tetrameric complex between the ERα homodimer and the 14-3-3ζ homodimer. 14-3-3ζ binding to ERα, and ERα/14-3-3ζ complex stabilization by FC-A, appeared to be orthogonal to ERα endogenous agonist (E2) binding, E2-induced conformational changes, and cofactor recruitment. Similarly, the ERα antagonist 4-hydroxytamoxifen inhibited cofactor recruitment to the ERα LBD while ERα was bound to 14-3-3ζ. Furthermore, stabilization of the ERα/14-3-3ζ protein complex by FC-A was not influenced by the disease-associated and 4-hydroxytamoxifen resistant ERα-Y537S mutant. Together, these molecular and mechanistic insights provide direction for targeting ERα via the ERα/14-3-3 complex as an alternative drug discovery approach.

Structure of the complex of phosphorylated liver kinase B1 and 14-3-3ζ.

Project description:The serine/threonine protein kinase liver kinase B1 (LKB1) is a tumour suppressor and plays important roles in development and metabolism. It phosphorylates AMPK and AMPK-related kinases to regulate multiple physiological processes. Mutations in LKB1 often occur in multiple cancers. LKB1 can be suppressed by 14-3-3 proteins in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. Previously, the structure of a 14-3-3ζ-LKB1 fusion protein has been reported, revealing a phosphorylation-independent binding mode of LKB1 to 14-3-3 proteins. Here, the crystal structure of phosphorylated LKB1 peptide in complex with 14-3-3ζ was solved, which provides a structural basis for the phosphorylation-dependent recognition of LKB1 by 14-3-3 proteins.

Free energy calculations on the stability of the 14-3-3ζ protein.

Project description:Mutations of cysteine are often introduced to e.g. avoid formation of non-physiological inter-molecular disulfide bridges in in-vitro experiments, or to maintain specificity in labeling experiments. Alanine or serine is typically preferred, which usually do not alter the overall protein stability, when the original cysteine was surface exposed. However, selecting the optimal mutation for cysteines in the hydrophobic core of the protein is more challenging. In this work, the stability of selected Cys mutants of 14-3-3ζ was predicted by free-energy calculations and the obtained data were compared with experimentally determined stabilities. Both the computational predictions as well as the experimental validation point at a significant destabilization of mutants C94A and C94S. This destabilization could be attributed to the formation of hydrophobic cavities and a polar solvation of a hydrophilic side chain. A L12E, M78K double mutant was further studied in terms of its reduced dimerization propensity. In contrast to naïve expectations, this double mutant did not lead to the formation of strong salt bridges, which was rationalized in terms of a preferred solvation of the ionic species. Again, experiments agreed with the calculations by confirming the monomerization of the double mutants. Overall, the simulation data is in good agreement with experiments and offers additional insight into the stability and dimerization of this important family of regulatory proteins.

Loss of Par3 promotes lung adenocarcinoma metastasis through 14-3-3ζ protein.

Project description:Partitioning defective protein 3 (Par3) can activate the Tiam1/Rac pathway to inhibit invasion and metastasis in many cancers; however, the role of Par3 in lung adenocarcinoma remains unknown. Here we show that Par3 is downregulated in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and is associated with higher rates of lymph node metastasis and recurrence. Our functional study demonstrated that knock-down of Par3 promoted lung adenocarcinoma cell growth, cell migration, tumor formation, and metastasis, all of which were effectively inhibited when 14-3-3ζ was silenced. We found that Par3 binded with 14-3-3ζ protein and also showed that Par3 abrogated the binding of 14-3-3ζ to Tiam1, which was responsible for Rac1 activation. Knock-down of 14-3-3ζ inhibited Tiam1/Rac-GTP activation and blocked the invasive behavior of cells lacking Par3. These data suggest that loss of Par3 promotes metastatic behavior in lung adenocarcinoma cells through 14-3-3ζ protein.

14-3-3ζ coordinates adipogenesis of visceral fat.

Project description:The proteins that coordinate complex adipogenic transcriptional networks are poorly understood. 14-3-3ζ is a molecular adaptor protein that regulates insulin signalling and transcription factor networks. Here we report that 14-3-3ζ-knockout mice are strikingly lean from birth with specific reductions in visceral fat depots. Conversely, transgenic 14-3-3ζ overexpression potentiates obesity, without exacerbating metabolic complications. Only the 14-3-3ζ isoform is essential for adipogenesis based on isoform-specific RNAi. Mechanistic studies show that 14-3-3ζ depletion promotes autophagy-dependent degradation of C/EBP-δ, preventing induction of the master adipogenic factors, Pparγ and C/EBP-α. Transcriptomic data indicate that 14-3-3ζ acts upstream of hedgehog signalling-dependent upregulation of Cdkn1b/p27(Kip1). Indeed, concomitant knockdown of p27(Kip1) or Gli3 rescues the early block in adipogenesis induced by 14-3-3ζ knockdown in vitro. Adipocyte precursors in 14-3-3ζKO embryos also appear to have greater Gli3 and p27(Kip1) abundance. Together, our in vivo and in vitro findings demonstrate that 14-3-3ζ is a critical upstream driver of adipogenesis.

14-3-3ζ Protein regulates anterograde transport of the human κ-opioid receptor (hKOPR).

Project description:By proteomic analysis, we found that 14-3-3ζ was one of the proteins co-immunoprecipitated with human κ-opioid receptor (hKOPR) from extracts of solubilized Neuro2A cells stably expressing FLAG-hKOPR (N2A-FLAG-hKOPR cells). 14-3-3 proteins are a family of conserved regulatory molecules in eukaryotic cells, where they participate in signal transduction, metabolism, and membrane protein transport. 14-3-3ζ co-localized with the hKOPR in N2A cells. The hKOPR C-tail interacted with 14-3-3ζ in rat brain extracts and bound directly to purified 14-3-3ζ as demonstrated by pulldown techniques. 14-3-3ζ siRNA decreased expression of the hKOPR in N2A-FLAG-hKOPR cells and cultured primary cortical neurons of E19 rats by ~25% as determined by immunoblotting, ligand binding, and flow cytometry. The effect of 14-3-3ζ siRNA was reversed by overexpression of 14-3-3ζ. Expression of the 14-3-3 scavenger protein pGpLI-R18 also decreased hKOPR expression. 14-3-3ζ siRNA did not change expressions of the hDOPR and rMOPR in N2A cells. Pulse-chase study showed that 14-3-3ζ siRNA decreased the amount of mature hKOPR but did not change the rate of maturation or stability of hKOPR protein. Mutations of R354A/S358A in the putative 14-3-3 interaction motif (354)RQSTS(358) in the hKOPR C-tail reduced interaction of the hKOPR with 14-3-3ζ and abolished the effect of 14-3-3ζ knockdown on hKOPR expression. Mutation of the endoplasmic reticulum retention motif (359)RVR adjacent to the 14-3-3 interaction motif in the hKOPR C-tail decreased interaction of coatomer protein I (COPI) with the hKOPR and abolished 14-3-3ζ-mediated regulation of hKOPR expression. 14-3-3ζ knockdown increased association of COPI with the hKOPR. These results suggest that 14-3-3ζ promotes expression of the hKOPR by inhibiting COPI and RVR motif-mediated endoplasmic reticulum localization machinery.

Early increase of cerebrospinal fluid 14-3-3ζ protein in the alzheimer's disease continuum.

Project description:BackgroundThe earlier research has shown that the 14-3-3ζ is increased in neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) of human Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains and stimulates the tau phosphorylation. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 14-3-3ζ along the AD continuum remains to be explored.MethodsWe analyzed 113 cognitive normal (CN) controls, 372 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 225 patients with AD dementia from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative database. CSF 14-3-3ζ protein was measured by Mass Spectrometry.ResultsWe observed higher CSF 14-3-3ζ in the MCI group vs. the CN group and in the AD group vs. the MCI or CN group. The 14-3-3ζ was able to distinguish AD from CN and MCI. High 14-3-3ζ predicted conversion from MCI to AD. In CSF, phosphorylated tau at threonine 181 and total-tau were associated with 14-3-3ζ in MCI and AD groups, and beta-amyloid (Aβ) 42 correlated with 14-3-3ζ in the MCI group. Baseline high 14-3-3ζ was associated with cognitive decline, brain atrophy, glucose hypometabolism, and Aβ deposition in MCI and AD at baseline and follow-up.ConclusionOur findings revealed the potential diagnostic and prognostic utility of CSF 14-3-3ζ in the AD continuum. The 14-3-3ζ could be a promising therapeutic target for the intervention of AD.

The complex analysis of X-ray mesh scans for macromolecular crystallography.

Project description:In macromolecular crystallography, mesh (raster) scans are carried out either as part of X-ray-based crystal-centring routines or to identify positions on the sample holder from which diffraction images can be collected. Here, the methods used in MeshBest, software which automatically analyses diffraction images collected during a mesh scan and produces a two-dimensional crystal map showing estimates of the dimensions, centre positions and diffraction qualities of each crystal contained in the mesh area, are presented. Sample regions producing diffraction images resulting from the superposition of more than one crystal are also distinguished from regions with single-crystal diffraction. The applicability of the method is demonstrated using several cases.

Protein crystallization: Eluding the bottleneck of X-ray crystallography.

Project description:To date, X-ray crystallography remains the gold standard for the determination of macromolecular structure and protein substrate interactions. However, the unpredictability of obtaining a protein crystal remains the limiting factor and continues to be the bottleneck in determining protein structures. A vast amount of research has been conducted in order to circumvent this issue with limited success. No single method has proven to guarantee the crystallization of all proteins. However, techniques using antibody fragments, lipids, carrier proteins, and even mutagenesis of crystal contacts have been implemented to increase the odds of obtaining a crystal with adequate diffraction. In addition, we review a new technique using the scaffolding ability of PDZ domains to facilitate nucleation and crystal lattice formation. Although in its infancy, such technology may be a valuable asset and another method in the crystallography toolbox to further the chances of crystallizing problematic proteins.

14-3-3ζ-TRAF5 axis governs interleukin-17A signaling.

Project description:IL-17A is a therapeutic target in many autoimmune diseases. Most nonhematopoietic cells express IL-17A receptors and respond to extracellular IL-17A by inducing proinflammatory cytokines. The IL-17A signal transduction triggers two broad, TRAF6- and TRAF5-dependent, intracellular signaling pathways to produce representative cytokines (IL-6) and chemokines (CXCL-1), respectively. Our limited understanding of the cross-talk between these two branches has generated a crucial gap of knowledge, leading to therapeutics indiscriminately blocking IL-17A and global inhibition of its target genes. In previous work, we discovered an elevated expression of 14-3-3 proteins in inflammatory aortic disease, a rare human autoimmune disorder with increased levels of IL-17A. Here we report that 14-3-3ζ is essential for IL-17 signaling by differentially regulating the signal-induced IL-6 and CXCL-1. Using genetically manipulated human and mouse cells, and ex vivo and in vivo rat models, we uncovered a function of 14-3-3ζ. As a part of the molecular mechanism, we show that 14-3-3ζ interacts with several TRAF proteins; in particular, its interaction with TRAF5 and TRAF6 is increased in the presence of IL-17A. In contrast to TRAF6, we found TRAF5 to be an endogenous suppressor of IL-17A-induced IL-6 production, an effect countered by 14-3-3ζ. Furthermore, we observed that 14-3-3ζ interaction with TRAF proteins is required for the IL-17A-induced IL-6 levels. Together, our results show that 14-3-3ζ is an essential component of IL-17A signaling and IL-6 production, an effect that is suppressed by TRAF5. To the best of our knowledge, this report of the 14-3-3ζ-TRAF5 axis, which differentially regulates IL-17A-induced IL-6 and CXCL-1 production, is unique.
