Ordered opening of LDL receptor binding domain of human apolipoprotein E3 revealed by hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry and fluorescence spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT: Apolipoprotein E3 (apoE3) is an exchangeable apolipoprotein that plays a critical role in cholesterol homeostasis. The N-terminal (NT) domain of apoE3 (residues 1-191) is folded into a helix bundle comprised of 4 amphipathic α-helices: H1, H2, H3 and H4, flanked by flexible helices N1 and N2, and Hinge Helix 1 (Hinge H1), at the N-and C-terminal sides of the helix bundle, respectively. The NT domain plays a critical role in binding to the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), which eventually leads to lowering of plasma cholesterol levels. In order to be recognized by the LDLR, the helix bundle has to open and undergo a conformational change. The objective of the study was to understand the mechanism of opening of the helix bundle. Hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) revealed that apoE3 NT domain adopts several disordered and unfolded regions, with H2 exhibiting relatively little protection against exchange-in compared to H1, H3, and H4. Site-directed fluorescence labeling indicated that H2 not only has the highest degree of solvent exposure but also the most flexibility in the helix bundle. It also indicated that the lipoprotein behavior of H1 was significnatly different from that of H2, H3 and H4. These results suggest that the opening of the helix bundle is likely initiated at the flexible end of H2 and the loop linking H2/H3, and involves movement of H2/H3 away from H1/H4. Together, these observations offer mechanistic insight suggesting a regulated helix bundle opening of apoE3 NT domain can be triggered by lipid binding.

Mechanism of Lipid Binding of Human Apolipoprotein E3 by Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange/Mass Spectrometry and Fluorescence Polarization.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Human apolipoprotein E3 (apoE3) is an exchangeable apolipoprotein that plays a critical role in maintaining plasma cholesterol/triglyceride homeostasis. The C-terminal (CT) domain of apoE3 (residues 201-299) is composed of amphipathic ?-helices C1: W210-S223, C2: V236-E266, and C3: D271-W276, which play a dominant role in mediating high-affinity lipid binding. OBJECTIVE:The objective is to understand the accessibility of the CT domain at the sub-domain level and the mechanistic details regarding lipid-binding interaction. METHODS:Hydrogen-deuterium exchange coupled to mass spectrometry (HDX/MS) of recombinant wild type (WT) apoE(201-299), chemical-induced unfolding monitored as changes in fluorescence polarization (FP) of labeled apoE(201-299) bearing a probe at specified sites, and lipid binding studies were carried out. RESULTS:HDX/MS revealed that residues towards the C-terminal end of the domain display significantly lower %D uptake compared to those towards the center, suggesting extensive protein-protein interaction in this segment. Functional assays showed that locking apoE(201-299) in an inter-molecular disulfide-bonded state at position 209, 223, 255, or 277 significantly decreases its ability to interact with lipids, especially when tethered towards the ends; this could be restored by reduction. Unfolding studies indicate that the C-terminal end offers less resistance to unfolding compared to the central portion of the domain. CONCLUSION:Taken together, our data suggest that two dimers of CT domain are juxtaposed around helix C3 leading to apoE3 tetramerization, and that dissociation to monomeric units is a required step in lipid binding, with helix C3 likely seeking stability via lipid interaction prior to helices C1 or C2.

Peptide-Level Interactions between Proteins and Small-Molecule Drug Candidates by Two Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange MS-Based Methods: The Example of Apolipoprotein E3.

Project description:We describe a platform utilizing two methods based on hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) to characterize interactions between a protein and a small-molecule ligand. The model system is apolipoprotein E3 (apoE3) and a small-molecule drug candidate. We extended PLIMSTEX (protein-ligand interactions by mass spectrometry, titration, and H/D exchange) to the regional level by incorporating enzymatic digestion to acquire binding information for peptides. In a single experiment, we not only identified putative binding sites, but also obtained affinities of 6.0, 6.8, and 10.6 ?M for the three different regions, giving an overall binding affinity of 7.4 ?M. These values agree well with literature values determined by accepted methods. Unlike those methods, PLIMSTEX provides site-specific binding information. The second approach, modified SUPREX (stability of unpurified proteins from rates of H/D exchange) coupled with electrospray ionization (ESI), allowed us to obtain detailed understanding about apoE unfolding and its changes upon ligand binding. Three binding regions, along with an additional site, which may be important for lipid binding, show increased stability (less unfolding) upon ligand binding. By employing a single parameter, ?C1/2%, we compared relative changes of denaturation between peptides. This integrated platform provides information orthogonal to commonly used HDX kinetics experiments, providing a general and novel approach for studying protein-ligand interactions.

Synthesis, spectroscopy, and hydrogen/deuterium exchange in high-spin iron(II) hydride complexes.

Project description:Very few hydride complexes are known in which the metals have a high-spin electronic configuration. We describe the characterization of several high-spin iron(II) hydride/deuteride isotopologues and their exchange reactions with one another and with H2/D2. Though the hydride/deuteride signal is not observable in NMR spectra, the choice of isotope has an influence on the chemical shifts of distant protons in the dimers through the paramagnetic isotope effect on chemical shift. This provides the first way to monitor the exchange of H and D in the bridging positions of these hydride complexes. The rate of exchange depends on the size of the supporting ligand, and this is consistent with the idea that H2/D2 exchange into the hydrides occurs through the dimeric complexes rather than through a transient monomer. The understanding of H/D exchange mechanisms in these high-spin iron hydride complexes may be relevant to postulated nitrogenase mechanisms.

Dissecting structure of prion amyloid fibrils by hydrogen-deuterium exchange ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy.

Project description:The molecular mechanisms underlying structural diversity of amyloid fibrils or prion strains formed within the same primary structure is considered to be one of the most enigmatic questions in prion biology. We report here on the direct characterization of amyloid structures using a novel spectroscopic technique, hydrogen-deuterium exchange ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy. This method enables us to assess the structural differences within highly ordered cross-β-cores of two amyloid states produced within the same amino acid sequence of full-length mammalian prion protein. We found that while both amyloid states consisted of β-structures, their cross-β-cores exhibited hydrogen bonding of different strengths. Moreover, Raman spectroscopy revealed that both amyloid states displayed equally narrow crystalline-like bands, suggesting uniform structures of cross-β-cores within each state. Taken together, these data suggest that highly polymorphous fibrils can display highly uniform structures of their cross-β-core and belong to the same prion strain.

Rapid Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange in Liquid Droplets.

Project description:The rate of hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX) in aqueous droplets of phenethylamine has been determined with submillisecond temporal resolution by mass spectrometry using nanoelectrospray ionization with a theta-capillary. The average speed of the microdroplets is measured using microparticle image velocimetry. The droplet travel time is varied from 20 to 320 ?s by changing the distance between the emitter and the heated inlet to the mass spectrometer and the voltage applied to the emitter source. The droplets were found to accelerate by ?30% during their observable travel time. Our droplet imaging shows that the theta-capillary produces two Taylor cone-jets (one per channel), causing mixing to take place from droplet fusion in the Taylor spray zone. Phenethylamine (?CH2CH2NH2) was chosen to study because it has only one functional group (-NH2) that undergoes rapid HDX. We model the HDX with a system of ordinary differential equations. The rate constant for the formation of -NH2D+ from -NH3+ is 3660 ± 290 s-1, and the rate constant for the formation of -NHD2+ from -NH2D+ is 3330 ± 270 s-1. The observed rates are about 3 times faster than what has been reported for rapidly exchangeable peptide side-chain groups in bulk measurements using stopped-flow kinetics and NMR spectroscopy. We also applied this technique to determine the HDX rates for a small 10-residue peptide, angiotensin I, in aqueous droplets, from which we found a 7-fold acceleration of HDX in the droplet compared to that in bulk solution.

Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Profiles of Polyubiquitin Fibrils.

Project description:Ubiquitin and its polymeric forms are conjugated to intracellular proteins to regulate diverse intracellular processes. Intriguingly, polyubiquitin has also been identified as a component of pathological protein aggregates associated with Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. We recently found that polyubiquitin can form amyloid-like fibrils, and that these fibrillar aggregates can be degraded by macroautophagy. Although the structural properties appear to function in recognition of the fibrils, no structural information on polyubiquitin fibrils has been reported so far. Here, we identify the core of M1-linked diubiquitin fibrils from hydrogen-deuterium exchange experiments using solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Intriguingly, intrinsically flexible regions became highly solvent-protected in the fibril structure. These results indicate that polyubiquitin fibrils are formed by inter-molecular interactions between relatively flexible structural components, including the loops and edges of secondary structure elements.

Hydrogen/deuterium exchange and electron-transfer dissociation mass spectrometry determine the interface and dynamics of apolipoprotein E oligomerization.

Project description:Apolipoprotein E, a 34 kDa protein, plays a key role in triglyceride and cholesterol metabolism. Of the three common isoforms (ApoE2, -3, and -4), only ApoE4 is a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. All three isoforms of wild-type ApoE self-associate to form oligomers, a process that may have functional consequences. Although the C-terminal domain, residues 216-299, of ApoE is believed to mediate self-association, the specific residues involved in this process are not known. Here we report the use of hydrogen/deuterium exchange (H/DX) coupled with enzymatic digestion to identify those regions in the sequence of full-length apoE involved in oligomerization. For this determination, we compared the results of H/DX of the wild-type proteins and those of monomeric forms obtained by modifying four residues in the C-terminal domain. The three wild-type and mutant isoforms show similar structures based on their similar H/DX kinetics and extents of exchange. Regions of the C-terminus (residues 230-270) of the ApoE isoforms show significant differences of deuterium uptake between oligomeric and monomeric forms, confirming that oligomerization occurs at these regions. To achieve single amino acid resolution, we examined the extents of H/DX by using electron transfer dissociation (ETD) fragmentation of peptides representing selected regions of both the monomeric and the oligomeric forms of ApoE4. From these experiments, we could identify the specific residues involved in ApoE oligomerization. In addition, our results verify that ApoE4 is composed of a compact structure at its N-terminal domain. Regions of C-terminal domain, however, appear to lack defined structure.

Helical structure, stability, and dynamics in human apolipoprotein E3 and E4 by hydrogen exchange and mass spectrometry.

Project description:Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays a critical role in cholesterol transport in both peripheral circulation and brain. Human apoE is a polymorphic 299-residue protein in which the less common E4 isoform differs from the major E3 isoform only by a C112R substitution. ApoE4 interacts with lipoprotein particles and with the amyloid-? peptide, and it is associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular and Alzheimer's disease. To understand the structural basis for the differences between apoE3 and E4 functionality, we used hydrogen-deuterium exchange coupled with a fragment separation method and mass spectrometric analysis to compare their secondary structures at near amino acid resolution. We determined the positions, dynamics, and stabilities of the helical segments in these two proteins, in their normal tetrameric state and in mutation-induced monomeric mutants. Consistent with prior X-ray crystallography and NMR results, the N-terminal domain contains four ?-helices, 20 to 30 amino acids long. The C-terminal domain is relatively unstructured in the monomeric state but forms an ?-helix ?70 residues long in the self-associated tetrameric state. Helix stabilities are relatively low, 4 kcal/mol to 5 kcal/mol, consistent with flexibility and facile reversible unfolding. Secondary structure in the tetrameric apoE3 and E4 isoforms is similar except that some helical segments in apoE4 spanning residues 12 to 20 and 204 to 210 are unfolded. These conformational differences result from the C112R substitution in the N-terminal helix bundle and likely relate to a reduced ability of apoE4 to form tetramers, thereby increasing the concentration of functional apoE4 monomers, which gives rise to its higher lipid binding compared with apoE3.

Hydrogen Deuterium Exchange of PDK1

Project description:This project consisted of three HDX-MS experiments. First, we compared the dimeric PDK1(SKD-PIF) to monomeric PDK1(SKD) and mapped the differences in deuterium incorporation onto the dimer model. We then compared the deuterium incorporation kinetics for the kinase (PDK1(SKD)) and PH (PDK1(PH) domains of PDK1 with full-length PDK1 (PDK1(FL)) in pairwise experiments.

Conformational changes in gastric H+/K+-ATPase monitored by difference Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and hydrogen/deuterium exchange.

Project description:Gastric H+/K+-ATPase is a P-type ATPase responsible for acid secretion in the stomach. This protein adopts mainly two conformations called E1 and E2. Even though two high-resolution structures for a P-ATPase in these conformations are available, little structural information is available about the transition between these two conformations. In the present study, we used two experimental approaches to investigate the structural differences that occur when gastric ATPase is placed in the presence of various ligands and ligand combinations. We used attenuated total reflection-Fourier-transform IR experiments under a flowing buffer to modify the environment of the protein inside the measurement cell. The high accuracy of the results allowed us to demonstrate that the E1-E2 transition induces a net change in the secondary structure that concerns 10-15 amino acid residues of a total of 1324 in the proteins. The E2.K+ structure is characterized by a decreased beta-sheet content and an increase in the disordered structure content with respect to the E1 form of the enzyme. Modifications in the absorption of the side chain of amino acids are also suggested. By using hydrogen/deuterium-exchange kinetics, we show that tertiary-structure modifications occurred in the presence of the same ligands, but these changes involved several hundreds of residues. The present study suggests that conformational changes in the catalytic cycle imply secondary-structure rearrangements of small hinge regions that have an impact on large domain re-organizations.
