The structure of SDS22 provides insights into the mechanism of heterodimer formation with PP1.

ABSTRACT: Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) dephosphorylates hundreds of key biological targets by associating with nearly 200 regulatory proteins to form highly specific holoenzymes. The vast majority of regulators are intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and bind PP1 via short linear motifs within their intrinsically disordered regions. One of the most ancient PP1 regulators is SDS22, a protein that is conserved from yeast to mammals. Sequence analysis of SDS22 revealed that it is a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) protein, suggesting that SDS22, unlike nearly every other known PP1 regulator, is not an IDP but instead is fully structured. Here, the 2.9?Å resolution crystal structure of human SDS22 in space group P212121 is reported. SDS22 adopts an LRR fold with the horseshoe-like curvature typical for this family of proteins. The structure results in surfaces with distinct chemical characteristics that are likely to be critical for PP1 binding.

The SDS22:PP1:I3 complex: SDS22 binding to PP1 loosens the active site metal to prime metal exchange.

Project description:SDS22 and Inhibitor-3 (I3) are two ancient regulators of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) that regulate multiple essential biological processes. Both SDS22 and I3 form stable dimeric complexes with PP1; however, and atypically for PP1 regulators, they also form a triple complex, where both proteins bind to PP1 simultaneously (SPI complex). Here we report the crystal structure of the SPI complex. While both regulators bind PP1 in conformations identical to those observed in their individual PP1 complexes, PP1 adopts the SDS22-bound conformation, which lacks its M1 metal. Unexpectedly, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) revealed that the affinity of I3 for the SDS22:PP1 complex is ∼10-fold lower than PP1 alone. We show that this change in binding affinity is solely due to the interaction of I3 with the PP1 active site, specifically PP1's M2 metal, demonstrating that SDS22 likely allows for PP1 M2 metal exchange and thus PP1 biogenesis.

SDS22 selectively recognizes and traps metal-deficient inactive PP1.

Project description:The metalloenzyme protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), which is responsible for ≥50% of all dephosphorylation reactions, is regulated by scores of regulatory proteins, including the highly conserved SDS22 protein. SDS22 has numerous diverse functions, surprisingly acting as both a PP1 inhibitor and as an activator. Here, we integrate cellular, biophysical, and crystallographic studies to address this conundrum. We discovered that SDS22 selectively binds a unique conformation of PP1 that contains a single metal (M2) at its active site, i.e., SDS22 traps metal-deficient inactive PP1. Furthermore, we showed that SDS22 dissociation is accompanied by a second metal (M1) being loaded into PP1, as free metal cannot dissociate the complex and M1-deficient mutants remain constitutively trapped by SDS22. Together, our findings reveal that M1 metal loading and loss are essential for PP1 regulation in cells, which has broad implications for PP1 maturation, activity, and holoenzyme subunit exchange.

Structure-Guided Exploration of SDS22 Interactions with Protein Phosphatase PP1 and the Splicing Factor BCLAF1.

Project description:SDS22 is an ancient regulator of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1). Our crystal structure of SDS22 shows that its twelve leucine-rich repeats adopt a banana-shaped fold that is shielded from solvent by capping domains at its extremities. Subsequent modeling and biochemical studies revealed that the concave side of SDS22 likely interacts with PP1 helices α5 and α6, which are distal from the binding sites of many previously described PP1 interactors. Accordingly, we found that SDS22 acts as a "third" subunit of multiple PP1 holoenzymes. The crystal structure of SDS22 also revealed a large basic surface patch that enables binding of a phosphorylated form of splicing factor BCLAF1. Taken together, our data provide insights into the formation of PP1:SDS22 and the recruitment of additional interaction proteins, such as BCLAF1.

Sds22, a PP1 phosphatase regulatory subunit, regulates epithelial cell polarity and shape [Sds22 in epithelial morphology].

Project description:BackgroundHow epithelial cells adopt their particular polarised forms is poorly understood. In a screen for genes regulating epithelial morphology in Drosophila, we identified sds22, a conserved gene previously characterised in yeast.ResultsIn the columnar epithelia of imaginal discs or follicle cells, mutation of sds22 causes contraction of cells along their apical-basal axis, resulting in a more cuboidal morphology. In addition, the mutant cells can also display altered cell polarity, forming multiple layers in follicle cells and leaving the epithelium in imaginal discs. In yeast, sds22 encodes a PP1 phosphatase regulatory subunit. Consistent with this, we show that Drosophila Sds22 binds to all four Drosophila PP1s and shares an overlapping phenotype with PP1beta9c. We also show that two previously postulated PP1 targets, Spaghetti Squash and Moesin are hyper-phosphorylated in sds22 mutants. This function is shared by the human homologue of Sds22, PPP1R7.ConclusionSds22 is a conserved PP1 phosphatase regulatory subunit that controls cell shape and polarity.

Structure of the MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer provides insights into the gatekeeping threshold shift.

Project description:Mitochondrial calcium uptake proteins 1 and 2 (MICU1 and MICU2) mediate mitochondrial Ca2+ influx via the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU). Its molecular action for Ca2+ uptake is tightly controlled by the MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer, which comprises Ca2+ sensing proteins which act as gatekeepers at low [Ca2+] or facilitators at high [Ca2+]. However, the mechanism underlying the regulation of the Ca2+ gatekeeping threshold for mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake through the MCU by the MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer remains unclear. In this study, we determined the crystal structure of the apo form of the human MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer that functions as the MCU gatekeeper. MICU1 and MICU2 assemble in the face-to-face heterodimer with salt bridges and me-thio-nine knobs stabilizing the heterodimer in an apo state. Structural analysis suggests how the heterodimer sets a higher Ca2+ threshold than the MICU1 homodimer. The structure of the heterodimer in the apo state provides a framework for understanding the gatekeeping role of the MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer.

Phosphorylation of PP1 Regulator Sds22 by PLK1 Ensures Accurate Chromosome Segregation.

Project description:During cell division, accurate chromosome segregation is tightly regulated by Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) and opposing activities of Aurora B kinase and protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying the aforementioned hierarchical signaling cascade during mitotic chromosome segregation have remained elusive. Sds22 is a conserved regulator of PP1 activity, but how it regulates PP1 activity in space and time during mitosis remains elusive. Here we show that Sds22 is a novel and cognate substrate of PLK1 in mitosis, and the phosphorylation of Sds22 by PLK1 elicited an inhibition of PP1-mediated dephosphorylation of Aurora B at threonine 232 (Thr232) in a dose-dependent manner. Overexpression of a phosphomimetic mutant of Sds22 causes a dramatic increase in mitotic delay, whereas overexpression of a non-phosphorylatable mutant of Sds22 results in mitotic arrest. Mechanistically, the phosphorylation of Sds22 by PLK1 strengthens the binding of Sds22 to PP1 and inhibits the dephosphorylation of Thr232 of Aurora B to ensure a robust, error-free metaphase-anaphase transition. These findings delineate a conserved signaling hierarchy that orchestrates dynamic protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of critical mitotic regulators during chromosome segregation to guard chromosome stability.

The crystal structure of MICU2 provides insight into Ca2+-binding and MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer formation

Project description:The Mitochondrial Calcium Uniporter (MCU) complex mediates the uptake of Ca2+ into mitochondria. Its activity is regulated by regulatory subunits such as EF-hands-containing MICU1 and MICU2. They form a heterodimer that acts as the main gatekeeper of the uniporter. Herein we report the crystal structure of human MICU2 at 1.96-Å resolution. Our structure reveals a dimeric architecture of MICU2, in which each monomer adopts the canonical two lobes structure with a pair of EF hands in each lobe. Both Ca2+-bound and Ca2+-free EF-hands are observed in our structure. Moreover, we have characterized the interaction sites within MICU2 homodimer, as well as the MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer in both Ca2+-free and Ca2+-bound conditions. Glu242 in MICU1 and Arg352 in MICU2 are crucial for apo heterodimer formation, while Phe383 in MICU1 and Glu196 in MICU2 significantly contribute to Ca2+-bound heterodimer. Taken together, structural and biochemical analyses have allowed us to establish plausible MICU1-MICU2 complex models which help understand the heterodimer conformational transition from apo to Ca2+-bound states, and explain its co-regulatory mechanism critical for MCU's mitochondrial calcium uptake function.

Crystal structure of a SFPQ/PSPC1 heterodimer provides insights into preferential heterodimerization of human DBHS family proteins.

Project description:Members of the Drosophila behavior human splicing (DBHS) protein family are nuclear proteins implicated in many layers of nuclear functions, including RNA biogenesis as well as DNA repair. Definitive of the DBHS protein family, the conserved DBHS domain provides a dimerization platform that is critical for the structural integrity and function of these proteins. The three human DBHS proteins, splicing factor proline- and glutamine-rich (SFPQ), paraspeckle component 1 (PSPC1), and non-POU domain-containing octamer-binding protein (NONO), form either homo- or heterodimers; however, the relative affinity and mechanistic details of preferential heterodimerization are yet to be deciphered. Here we report the crystal structure of a SFPQ/PSPC1 heterodimer to 2.3-Å resolution and analyzed the subtle structural differences between the SFPQ/PSPC1 heterodimer and the previously characterized SFPQ homodimer. Analytical ultracentrifugation to estimate the dimerization equilibrium of the SFPQ-containing dimers revealed that the SFPQ-containing dimers dissociate at low micromolar concentrations and that the heterodimers have higher affinities than the homodimer. Moreover, we observed that the apparent dissociation constant for the SFPQ/PSPC1 heterodimer was over 6-fold lower than that of the SFPQ/NONO heterodimer. We propose that these differences in dimerization affinity may represent a potential mechanism by which PSPC1 at a lower relative cellular abundance can outcompete NONO to heterodimerize with SFPQ.

The crystal structure of MICU2 provides insight into Ca<sup>2+</sup> binding and MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer formation.

Project description:The mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) complex mediates the uptake of Ca2+ into mitochondria. Its activity is regulated by a heterodimer of MICU1 and MICU2, two EF-hand-containing proteins that act as the main gatekeeper of the uniporter. Herein we report the crystal structure of human MICU2 at 1.96 Å resolution. Our structure reveals a dimeric architecture of MICU2, in which each monomer adopts the canonical two-lobe structure with a pair of EF-hands in each lobe. Both Ca2+ -bound and Ca2+ -free EF-hands are observed in our structure. Moreover, we characterize the interaction sites within the MICU2 homodimer, as well as the MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer in both Ca2+ -free and Ca2+ -bound conditions. Glu242 in MICU1 and Arg352 in MICU2 are crucial for apo heterodimer formation, while Phe383 in MICU1 and Glu196 in MICU2 significantly contribute to the interaction in the Ca2+ -bound state. Based on our structural and biochemical analyses, we propose a model for MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer formation and its conformational transition from apo to a more compact Ca2+ -bound state, which expands our understanding of this co-regulatory mechanism critical for MCU's mitochondrial calcium uptake function.

Structure of a Tc holotoxin pore provides insights into the translocation mechanism.

Project description:Tc toxins are modular toxin systems of insect and human pathogenic bacteria. They are composed of a 1.4-MDa pentameric membrane translocator (TcA) and a 250-kDa cocoon (TcB and TcC) encapsulating the 30-kDa toxic enzyme (C terminus of TcC). Binding of Tc toxins to target cells and a pH shift trigger the conformational transition from the soluble prepore state to the membrane-embedded pore. Subsequently, the toxic enzyme is translocated and released into the cytoplasm. A high-resolution structure of a holotoxin embedded in membranes is missing, leaving open the question of whether TcB-TcC has an influence on the conformational transition of TcA. Here we show in atomic detail a fully assembled 1.7-MDa Tc holotoxin complex from Photorhabdus luminescens in the membrane. We find that the 5 TcA protomers conformationally adapt to fit around the cocoon during the prepore-to-pore transition. The architecture of the Tc toxin complex allows TcB-TcC to bind to an already membrane-embedded TcA pore to form a holotoxin. Importantly, assembly of the holotoxin at the membrane results in spontaneous translocation of the toxic enzyme, indicating that this process is not driven by a proton gradient or other energy source. Mammalian lipids with zwitterionic head groups are preferred over other lipids for the integration of Tc toxins. In a nontoxic Tc toxin variant, we can visualize part of the translocating toxic enzyme, which transiently interacts with alternating negative charges and hydrophobic stretches of the translocation channel, providing insights into the mechanism of action of Tc toxins.
