Crystal structure of the programmed cell death 5 protein from Sulfolobus solfataricus.

ABSTRACT: Programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) is a vital signaling protein in the apoptosis pathway in eukaryotes. It is known that there are two dissociated N-terminal regions and a triple-helix core in eukaryotic PDCD5. Structural and functional studies of PDCD5 from hyperthermophilic archaea have been limited to date. Here, the PDCD5 homolog Sso0352 (SsoPDCD5) was identified in Sulfolobus solfataricus, the SsoPDCD5 protein was expressed and crystallized, and the phase was identified by single-wavelength anomalous diffraction. The native SsoPDCD5 crystal belonged to space group C2 and diffracted to 1.49?Å resolution. This is the first crystal structure of a PDCD5 homolog to be solved. SsoPDCD5 shares a similar triple-helix bundle with eukaryotic PDCD5 but has a long ?-helix in the N-terminus. A structural search and biochemical data suggest that SsoPDCD5 may function as a DNA-binding protein.

Crystal structure of the translation recovery factor Trf from Sulfolobus solfataricus.

Project description:During translation initiation, the heterotrimeric archaeal translation initiation factor 2 (aIF2) recruits the initiator tRNAi to the small ribosomal subunit. In the stationary growth phase and/or during nutrient stress, Sulfolobus solfataricus aIF2 has a second function: It protects leaderless mRNAs against degradation by binding to their 5'-ends. The S. solfataricus protein Sso2509 is a translation recovery factor (Trf) that interacts with aIF2 and is responsible for the release of aIF2 from bound mRNAs, thereby enabling translation re-initiation. It is a member of the domain of unknown function 35 (DUF35) protein family and is conserved in Sulfolobales as well as in other archaea. Here, we present the X-ray structure of S. solfataricus Trf solved to a resolution of 1.65 Å. Trf is composed of an N-terminal rubredoxin-like domain containing a bound zinc ion and a C-terminal oligosaccharide/oligonucleotide binding fold domain. The Trf structure reveals putative mRNA binding sites in both domains. Surprisingly, the Trf protein is structurally but not sequentially very similar to proteins linked to acyl-CoA utilization-for example, the Sso2064 protein from S. solfataricus-as well as to scaffold proteins found in the acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase/high-mobility group-CoA synthase complex of the archaeon Methanothermococcus thermolithotrophicus and in a steroid side-chain-cleaving aldolase complex from the bacterium Thermomonospora curvata. This suggests that members of the DUF35 protein family are able to act as scaffolding and binding proteins in a wide variety of biological processes.

The crystal structure of anthranilate synthase from Sulfolobus solfataricus: functional implications.

Project description:Anthranilate synthase catalyzes the synthesis of anthranilate from chorismate and glutamine and is feedback-inhibited by tryptophan. The enzyme of the hyperthermophile Sulfolobus solfataricus has been crystallized in the absence of physiological ligands, and its three-dimensional structure has been determined at 2.5-A resolution with x-ray crystallography. It is a heterotetramer of anthranilate synthase (TrpE) and glutamine amidotransferase (TrpG) subunits, in which two TrpG:TrpE protomers associate mainly via the TrpG subunits. The small TrpG subunit (195 residues) has the known "triad" glutamine amidotransferase fold. The large TrpE subunit (421 residues) has a novel fold. It displays a cleft between two domains, the tips of which contact the TrpG subunit across its active site. Clusters of catalytically essential residues are located inside the cleft, spatially separated from clustered residues involved in feedback inhibition. The structure suggests a model in which chorismate binding triggers a relative movement of the two domain tips of the TrpE subunit, activating the TrpG subunit and creating a channel for passage of ammonia toward the active site of the TrpE subunit. Tryptophan presumably blocks this rearrangement, thus stabilizing the inactive states of both subunits. The structure of the TrpE subunit is a likely prototype for the related enzymes 4-amino 4-deoxychorismate synthase and isochorismate synthase.

Structure and biochemical characterization of protein acetyltransferase from Sulfolobus solfataricus.

Project description:The Sulfolobus solfataricus protein acetyltransferase (PAT) acetylates ALBA, an abundant nonspecific DNA-binding protein, on Lys(16) to reduce its DNA affinity, and the Sir2 deacetylase reverses the modification to cause transcriptional repression. This represents a "primitive" model for chromatin regulation analogous to histone modification in eukaryotes. We report the 1.84-A crystal structure of PAT in complex with coenzyme A. The structure reveals homology to both prokaryotic GNAT acetyltransferases and eukaryotic histone acetyltransferases (HATs), with an additional "bent helix" proximal to the substrate binding site that might play an autoregulatory function. Investigation of active site mutants suggests that PAT does not use a single general base or acid residue for substrate deprotonation and product reprotonation, respectively, and that a diffusional step, such as substrate binding, may be rate-limiting. The catalytic efficiency of PAT toward ALBA is low relative to other acetyltransferases, suggesting that there may be better, unidentified substrates for PAT. The structural similarity of PAT to eukaryotic HATs combined with its conserved role in chromatin regulation suggests that PAT is evolutionarily related to the eukaryotic HATs.

Structure, stability, and flexibility of ribosomal protein L14e from Sulfolobus solfataricus.

Project description:Ribosomal protein L14e is a component of the large ribosomal subunit in both archaea and eukaryotes. We report here a high-resolution NMR solution structure of recombinant L14e and show that the N-terminal 57 residues adopt a classic SH3 fold. The protein contains a tight turn between strands 1 and 2 instead of the typical SH3 RT-loop, indicating that it is unlikely to interact with neighboring ribosomal proteins using the common SH3 site for proline-rich sequences. The remainder of the protein (39 residues) forms a largely extended chain with a short helix which packs onto the surface of the SH3 domain via hydrophobic interactions. It has the potential of adopting an alternative structure to expose a hydrophobic surface for protein-protein interactions in the ribosome without disruption of the SH3 fold. (15)N relaxation data demonstrate that the majority of the C-terminal chain is well-defined on the SH3 surface. The globular protein unfolds reversibly with a T(m) of 102.8 degrees C at pH 7, making it one of the most stable SH3 domain proteins described to date. The structure of L14e is expected to serve as a model for other members of the L14e family, along with members of the COG2163 group, including L6e and L27e. Interestingly, the N-terminal sequence of L14e shows the greatest similarity of any Sulfolobus protein to the reported N-terminal sequence of Sac8b, a DNA-binding protein reported by Grote et al. ((1986) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 873, 405-413). The likelihood that L14e and Sac8b are the same protein is discussed.

Structure of the heterotrimeric PCNA from Sulfolobus solfataricus.

Project description:PCNA is a ring-shaped protein that encircles DNA, providing a platform for the association of a wide variety of DNA-processing enzymes that utilize the PCNA sliding clamp to maintain proximity to their DNA substrates. PCNA is a homotrimer in eukaryotes, but a heterotrimer in crenarchaea such as Sulfolobus solfataricus. The three proteins are SsoPCNA1 (249 residues), SsoPCNA2 (245 residues) and SsoPCNA3 (259 residues). The heterotrimeric protein crystallizes in space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 44.8, b = 78.8, c = 125.6 A, beta = 100.5 degrees. The crystal structure of this heterotrimeric PCNA molecule has been solved using molecular replacement. The resulting structure to 2.3 A sheds light on the differential stabilities of the interactions observed between the three subunits and the specificity of individual subunits for partner proteins.

Structure of Hjc, a Holliday junction resolvase, from Sulfolobus solfataricus.

Project description:The 2.15-A structure of Hjc, a Holliday junction-resolving enzyme from the archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus, reveals extensive structural homology with a superfamily of nucleases that includes type II restriction enzymes. Hjc is a dimer with a large DNA-binding surface consisting of numerous basic residues surrounding the metal-binding residues of the active sites. Residues critical for catalysis, identified on the basis of sequence comparisons and site-directed mutagenesis studies, are clustered to produce two active sites in the dimer, about 29 A apart, consistent with the requirement for the introduction of paired nicks in opposing strands of the four-way DNA junction substrate. Hjc displays similarity to the restriction endonucleases in the way its specific DNA-cutting pattern is determined but uses a different arrangement of nuclease subunits. Further structural similarity to a broad group of metal/phosphate-binding proteins, including conservation of active-site location, is observed. A high degree of conservation of surface electrostatic character is observed between Hjc and T4-phage endonuclease VII despite a complete lack of structural homology. A model of the Hjc-Holliday junction complex is proposed, based on the available functional and structural data.

Solution structure of ribosomal protein L40E, a unique C4 zinc finger protein encoded by archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus.

Project description:The ribosomal protein L40E from archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus is a component of the 50S ribosomal subunit. L40E is a 56-residue, highly basic protein that contains a C4 zinc finger motif, CRKC_X(10)_CRRC. Homologs are found in both archaea and eukaryotes but are not present in bacteria. Eukaryotic genomes encode L40E as a ubiquitin-fusion protein. L40E was absent from the crystal structure of euryarchaeota 50S ribosomal subunit. Here we report the three-dimensional solution structure of L40E by NMR spectroscopy. The structure of L40E is a three-stranded beta-sheet with a simple beta2beta1beta3 topology. There are two unique characteristics revealed by the structure. First, a large and ordered beta2-beta3 loop twists to pack across the one side of the protein. L40E contains a buried polar cluster comprising Lys19, Lys20, Cys22, Asn29, and Cys36. Second, the surface of L40E is almost entirely positively charged. Ten conserved basic residues are positioned on the two sides of the surface. It is likely that binding of zinc is essential in stabilizing the tertiary structure of L40E to act as a scaffold to create a broad positively charged surface for RNA and/or protein recognition.

Characterization of different crystal forms of the alpha-glucosidase MalA from Sulfolobus solfataricus.

Project description:MalA is an alpha-glucosidase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus. It belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 31, which includes several medically interesting alpha-glucosidases. MalA and its selenomethionine derivative have been overproduced in Escherichia coli and crystallized in four different crystal forms. Microseeding was essential for the formation of good-quality crystals of forms 2 and 4. For three of the crystal forms (2, 3 and 4) full data sets could be collected. The most suitable crystals for structure determination are the monoclinic form 4 crystals, belonging to space group P2(1), from which data sets extending to 2.5 A resolution have been collected. Self-rotation functions calculated for this form and for the orthorhombic (P2(1)2(1)2(1)) form 2 indicate the presence of six molecules in the asymmetric unit related by 32 symmetry.

Structure of the dimeric form of CTP synthase from Sulfolobus solfataricus.

Project description:CTP synthase catalyzes the last committed step in de novo pyrimidine-nucleotide biosynthesis. Active CTP synthase is a tetrameric enzyme composed of a dimer of dimers. The tetramer is favoured in the presence of the substrate nucleotides ATP and UTP; when saturated with nucleotide, the tetramer completely dominates the oligomeric state of the enzyme. Furthermore, phosphorylation has been shown to regulate the oligomeric states of the enzymes from yeast and human. The crystal structure of a dimeric form of CTP synthase from Sulfolobus solfataricus has been determined at 2.5?Å resolution. A comparison of the dimeric interface with the intermolecular interfaces in the tetrameric structures of Thermus thermophilus CTP synthase and Escherichia coli CTP synthase shows that the dimeric interfaces are almost identical in the three systems. Residues that are involved in the tetramerization of S. solfataricus CTP synthase according to a structural alignment with the E. coli enzyme all have large thermal parameters in the dimeric form. Furthermore, they are seen to undergo substantial movement upon tetramerization.
