Myosin and Other Energy-Transducing ATPases: Structural Dynamics Studied by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance.

ABSTRACT: The objective of this article was to document the energy-transducing and regulatory interactions in supramolecular complexes such as motor, pump, and clock ATPases. The dynamics and structural features were characterized by motion and distance measurements using spin-labeling electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In particular, we focused on myosin ATPase with actin-troponin-tropomyosin, neural kinesin ATPase with microtubule, P-type ion-motive ATPase, and cyanobacterial clock ATPase. Finally, we have described the relationships or common principles among the molecular mechanisms of various energy-transducing systems and how the large-scale thermal structural transition of flexible elements from one state to the other precedes the subsequent irreversible chemical reactions.

Project description:Spin-labeling and multifrequency EPR spectroscopy were used to probe the dynamic local structure of skeletal myosin in the region of force generation. Subfragment 1 (S1) of rabbit skeletal myosin was labeled with an iodoacetamide spin label at C707 (SH1). X- and W-band EPR spectra were recorded for the apo state and in the presence of ADP and nucleotide analogs. EPR spectra were analyzed in terms of spin-label rotational motion within myosin by fitting them with simulated spectra. Two models were considered: rapid-limit oscillation (spectrum-dependent on the orientational distribution only) and slow restricted motion (spectrum-dependent on the rotational correlation time and the orientational distribution). The global analysis of spectra obtained at two microwave frequencies (9.4 GHz and 94 GHz) produced clear support for the second model and enabled detailed determination of rates and amplitudes of rotational motion and resolution of multiple conformational states. The apo biochemical state is well-described by a single structural state of myosin (M) with very restricted slow motion of the spin label. The ADP-bound biochemical state of myosin also reveals a single structural state (M*, shown previously to be the same as the post-powerstroke ATP-bound state), with less restricted slow motion of the spin label. In contrast, the extra resolution available at 94 GHz reveals that the EPR spectrum of the S1.ADP.V(i)-bound biochemical state of myosin, which presumably mimics the S1.ADP.P(i) state, is resolved clearly into three spectral components (structural states). One state is indistinguishable from that of the ADP-bound state (M*) and is characterized by moderate restriction and slow motion, with a mole fraction of 16%. The remaining 84% (M**) contains two additional components and is characterized by fast rotation about the x axis of the spin label. After analyzing EPR spectra, myosin ATPase activity, and available structural information for myosin II, we conclude that post-powerstroke and pre-powerstroke structural states (M* and M**) coexist in the S1.ADP.V(i) biochemical state. We propose that the pre-powerstroke state M** is characterized by two structural states that could reflect flexibility between the converter and N-terminal domains of myosin.

Project description:Crystallographic studies have shown that the F429H mutation of cytochrome P450 2B4 introduces an H-bond between His429 and the proximal thiolate ligand, Cys436, without altering the protein fold but sharply decreases the enzymatic activity and stabilizes the oxyferrous P450 2B4 complex. To characterize the influence of this hydrogen bond on the states of the catalytic cycle, we have used radiolytic cryoreduction combined with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and (electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy to study and compare their characteristics for wild-type (WT) P450 2B4 and the F429H mutant. (i) The addition of an H-bond to the axial Cys436 thiolate significantly changes the EPR signals of both low-spin and high-spin heme-iron(III) and the hyperfine couplings of the heme-pyrrole (14)N but has relatively little effect on the (1)H ENDOR spectra of the water ligand in the six-coordinate low-spin ferriheme state. These changes indicate that the H-bond introduced between His and the proximal cysteine decreases the extent of S ? Fe electron donation and weakens the Fe(III)-S bond. (ii) The added H-bond changes the primary product of cryoreduction of the Fe(II) enzyme, which is trapped in the conformation of the parent Fe(II) state. In the wild-type enzyme, the added electron localizes on the porphyrin, generating an S = (3)/2 state with the anion radical exchange-coupled to the Fe(II). In the mutant, it localizes on the iron, generating an S = (1)/2 Fe(I) state. (iii) The additional H-bond has little effect on g values and (1)H-(14)N hyperfine couplings of the cryogenerated, ferric hydroperoxo intermediate but noticeably slows its decay during cryoannealing. (iv) In both the WT and the mutant enzyme, this decay shows a significant solvent kinetic isotope effect, indicating that the decay reflects a proton-assisted conversion to Compound I (Cpd I). (v) We confirm that Cpd I formed during the annealing of the cryogenerated hydroperoxy intermediate and that it is the active hydroxylating species in both WT P450 2B4 and the F429H mutant. (vi) Our data also indicate that the added H-bond of the mutation diminishes the reactivity of Cpd I.

Project description:The local and global dynamics of the Sulfolobus solfataricus beta-glycosidase were studied by electron spin resonance and time-resolved fluorescence techniques. For electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigations, the protein was covalently modified by the maleimido nitroxide spin label, which is specific for cysteine -SH groups, at position 344 and at position 101, where Ser-101 was changed into a cysteine by site-directed mutagenesis. The greater reactivity of exposed Cys-101 suggested the exclusive modification of this amino acid compared with Cys-344. The labeled proteins underwent temperature perturbation in the range 290-335 K and the values of the spin-label rotation correlation frequencies (nu(c)) ranged from 6 x 10(7) to 2 x 10(8) sec(-1) for the protein labeled at position C344 and from 5.62 x 10(7) to 1.10 x 10(8) sec(-1) for the protein labeled at C101. These rotation correlation values are related to the local dynamic characteristics of the protein matrix. The temperature dependence of rotation correlation frequencies expressed in terms of Arrhenius coordinates (log (nu(c)) vs. 1/T) for the protein labeled at C344 exhibited a linear dependence but with a change in the slope at 311 K. For the protein labeled at C101, no change in the slope was observed at the same temperature. General dynamic information was deduced from the analysis of the fluorescence emission decay of the tryptophanyl residues that are present in each region of the protein structure. Fluorescence data analysis highlighted a bimodal distribution of fluorescence lifetimes arising from the contribution of two emitting groups: one consisting of closely clustered tryptophans responsible for the long-lived emission component (7.1 nsec) and the other composed of tryptophans nearer to the protein surface, which can be associated to the short-lived component (2.5 nsec). The temperature dependence of lifetime distribution parameters linked to the long-lived and short-lived components, expressed in Arrhenius coordinates, showed two different points in which the change in the slope occurred (i.e., 328 K and 338 K, respectively). The Arrhenius analysis of data provided the activation energy relative to the conformational changes characterizing the local and global movements running through the protein matrix.
