1H, 13C, and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of m7GTP cap-bound Leishmania initiation factor 4E-1.

ABSTRACT: Most of the translational control of gene expression in higher eukaryotes occurs during the initiation step of protein synthesis. While this process is well characterized in mammalian cells, it is less defined in parasites, including the ones that cause human Leishmaniasis. The Leishmania cap-binding isoform 1 (LeishIF4E-1) is the only isoform that binds the specific trypanosomatids-specific hypermethylated 5' cap, called cap-4, in the human stage of the parasite life cycle. We report here the extensive NMR resonance assignment of LeishIF4E-1 bound to a cap analog, m7GTP. The chemical shift data constitute a prerequisite to understanding specific translation initiation mechanisms used in Leishmania parasites and to developing antiparasitic drugs targeting their translation initiation factors.

1H, 13C, and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of 4E-BP144-87 and 4E-BP144-87 bound to eIF4E.

Project description:The eukaryotic translational initiation factor 4G (eIF4G) interacts with the cap-binding protein eIF4E through a consensus binding motif, Y(X)4LΦ (where X is any amino acid and Φ is a hydrophobic residue). 4E binding proteins (4E-BPs), which also contain a Y(X)4LΦ motif, regulate the eIF4E/eIF4G interaction. The non- or minimally-phosphorylated form of 4E-BP1 binds eIF4E, preventing eIF4E from interacting with eIF4G, thus inhibiting translation initiation. 4EGI-1, a small molecule inhibitor of the eIF4E/eIF4G interaction that is under investigation as a novel anti-cancer drug, has a dual activity; it disrupts the eIF4E/eIF4G interaction and stabilizes the binding of 4E-BP1 to eIF4E. Here, we report the complete backbone NMR resonance assignment of an unliganded 4E-BP1 fragment (4E-BP144-87). We also report the near complete backbone assignment of the same fragment in complex to eIF4E/m7GTP (excluding the assignment of the last C-terminus residue, D87). The chemical shift data constitute a prerequisite to understanding the mechanism of action of translation initiation inhibitors, including 4EGI-1, that modulate the eIF4E/4E-BP1 interaction.

1H, 13C and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of SARS-CoV-2 nsp3a.

Project description:The non-structural protein nsp3 from SARS-CoV-2 plays an essential role in the viral replication transcription complex. Nsp3a constitutes the N-terminal domain of nsp3, comprising a ubiquitin-like folded domain and a disordered acidic chain. This region of nsp3a has been linked to interactions with the viral nucleoprotein and the structure of double membrane vesicles. Here, we report the backbone resonance assignment of both domains of nsp3a. The study is carried out in the context of the international covid19-nmr consortium, which aims to characterize SARS-CoV-2 proteins and RNAs, providing for example NMR chemical shift assignments of the different viral components. Our assignment will provide the basis for the identification of inhibitors and further functional and interaction studies of this essential protein.

1H, 13C, and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of coronavirus-2 non-structural protein Nsp10.

Project description:The international Covid19-NMR consortium aims at the comprehensive spectroscopic characterization of SARS-CoV-2 RNA elements and proteins and will provide NMR chemical shift assignments of the molecular components of this virus. The SARS-CoV-2 genome encodes approximately 30 different proteins. Four of these proteins are involved in forming the viral envelope or in the packaging of the RNA genome and are therefore called structural proteins. The other proteins fulfill a variety of functions during the viral life cycle and comprise the so-called non-structural proteins (nsps). Here, we report the near-complete NMR resonance assignment for the backbone chemical shifts of the non-structural protein 10 (nsp10). Nsp10 is part of the viral replication-transcription complex (RTC). It aids in synthesizing and modifying the genomic and subgenomic RNAs. Via its interaction with nsp14, it ensures transcriptional fidelity of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, and through its stimulation of the methyltransferase activity of nsp16, it aids in synthesizing the RNA cap structures which protect the viral RNAs from being recognized by the innate immune system. Both of these functions can be potentially targeted by drugs. Our data will aid in performing additional NMR-based characterizations, and provide a basis for the identification of possible small molecule ligands interfering with nsp10 exerting its essential role in viral replication.

1H, 13C, and 15N backbone chemical-shift assignments of SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 1 (leader protein).

Project description:The current COVID-19 pandemic caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a worldwide health crisis, necessitating coordinated scientific research and urgent identification of new drug targets for treatment of COVID-19 lung disease. The covid19-nmr consortium seeks to support drug development by providing publicly accessible NMR data on the viral RNA elements and proteins. The SARS-CoV-2 genome comprises a single RNA of about 30 kb in length, in which 14 open reading frames (ORFs) have been annotated, and encodes approximately 30 proteins. The first two-thirds of the SARS-CoV-2 genome is made up of two large overlapping open-reading-frames (ORF1a and ORF1b) encoding a replicase polyprotein, which is subsequently cleaved to yield 16 so-called non-structural proteins. The non-structural protein 1 (Nsp1), which is considered to be a major virulence factor, suppresses host immune functions by associating with host ribosomal complexes at the very end of its C-terminus. Furthermore, Nsp1 facilitates initiation of viral RNA translation via an interaction of its N-terminal domain with the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of the viral RNA. Here, we report the near-complete backbone chemical-shift assignments of full-length SARS-CoV-2 Nsp1 (19.8 kDa), which reveal the domain organization, secondary structure and backbone dynamics of Nsp1, and which will be of value to further NMR-based investigations of both the biochemical and physiological functions of Nsp1.

1H, 13C and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of camelid single-domain antibodies against active state µ-opioid receptor.

Project description:Nanobodies are single chain antibodies that have become a highly valuable and versatile tool for biomolecular and therapeutic research. One application field is the stabilization of active states of flexible proteins, among which G-protein coupled receptors represent a very important class of membrane proteins. Here we present the backbone and side-chain assignment of the 1H, 13C and 15N resonances of Nb33 and Nb39, two nanobodies that recognize and stabilize the µ-opioid receptor to opioids in its active agonist-bound conformation. In addition, we present a comparison of their secondary structures as derived from NMR chemical shifts.

1H, 13C, and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of the C-terminal dimerization domain of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein.

Project description:The current outbreak of the highly infectious COVID-19 respiratory disease is caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2). To fight the pandemic, the search for promising viral drug targets has become a cross-border common goal of the international biomedical research community. Within the international Covid19-NMR consortium, scientists support drug development against SARS-CoV-2 by providing publicly available NMR data on viral proteins and RNAs. The coronavirus nucleocapsid protein (N protein) is an RNA-binding protein involved in viral transcription and replication. Its primary function is the packaging of the viral RNA genome. The highly conserved architecture of the coronavirus N protein consists of an N-terminal RNA-binding domain (NTD), followed by an intrinsically disordered Serine/Arginine (SR)-rich linker and a C-terminal dimerization domain (CTD). Besides its involvement in oligomerization, the CTD of the N protein (N-CTD) is also able to bind to nucleic acids by itself, independent of the NTD. Here, we report the near-complete NMR backbone chemical shift assignments of the SARS-CoV-2 N-CTD to provide the basis for downstream applications, in particular site-resolved drug binding studies.

1H, 13C, and 15N backbone and side chain chemical shift assignments of the SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 7.

Project description:The SARS-CoV-2 genome encodes for approximately 30 proteins. Within the international project covid19-nmr, we distribute the spectroscopic analysis of the viral proteins and RNA. Here, we report NMR chemical shift assignments for the protein nsp7. The 83 amino acid nsp7 protein is an essential cofactor in the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The polymerase activity and processivity of nsp12 are greatly enhanced by binding 1 copy of nsp7 and 2 copies of nsp8 to form a 160 kD complex. A separate hexadecameric complex of nsp7 and nsp8 (8 copies of each) forms a large ring-like structure. Thus, nsp7 is an important component of several large protein complexes that are required for replication of the large and complex coronavirus genome. We here report the near-complete NMR backbone and sidechain resonance assignment (1H,13C,15N) of isolated nsp7 from SARS-CoV-2 in solution. Further, we derive the secondary structure and compare it to the previously reported assignments and structure of the SARS-CoV nsp7.

1H, 13C, 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of the extended ARID domain in human AT-rich interactive domain protein 5a (Arid5a).

Project description:The family of AT-rich interactive domain (ARID) containing proteins -Arids- contains 15 members that have almost exclusively been described as DNA-binding proteins. Interestingly, a decade ago the family member Arid5a was found to bind and stabilize mRNAs of immune system key players and thereby account for driving inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. How exactly binding to DNA and RNA is coordinated by the Arid5a ARID domain remains unknown, mainly due to the lack of atom-resolved information on nucleic acid-binding. This in particular applies to the protein's ARID domain, despite the comfortable size of its core unit for NMR-based investigations. Furthermore, the core domain of ARID domains is found to be extended by functionally relevant, often flexible stretches, but whether such elongations are present and crucial for the versatile Arid5a functions is unknown. We here provide a near-complete NMR backbone resonance assignment of the Arid5a ARID domain with N- and C-terminal extensions, which serves as a basis for further studies of its nucleic acid-binding preferences and targeted inhibition by means of NMR. Our data thus significantly contribute to unravelling mechanisms of Arid5a-mediated gene regulation and diseases.

1H, 13C, and 15N backbone chemical shift assignments of the nucleic acid-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 non-structural protein 3e.

Project description:The ongoing pandemic caused by the Betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2) demonstrates the urgent need of coordinated and rapid research towards inhibitors of the COVID-19 lung disease. The covid19-nmr consortium seeks to support drug development by providing publicly accessible NMR data on the viral RNA elements and proteins. The SARS-CoV-2 genome encodes for approximately 30 proteins, among them are the 16 so-called non-structural proteins (Nsps) of the replication/transcription complex. The 217-kDa large Nsp3 spans one polypeptide chain, but comprises multiple independent, yet functionally related domains including the viral papain-like protease. The Nsp3e sub-moiety contains a putative nucleic acid-binding domain (NAB) with so far unknown function and consensus target sequences, which are conceived to be both viral and host RNAs and DNAs, as well as protein-protein interactions. Its NMR-suitable size renders it an attractive object to study, both for understanding the SARS-CoV-2 architecture and drugability besides the classical virus' proteases. We here report the near-complete NMR backbone chemical shifts of the putative Nsp3e NAB that reveal the secondary structure and compactness of the domain, and provide a basis for NMR-based investigations towards understanding and interfering with RNA- and small-molecule-binding by Nsp3e.

Computational study on the allosteric mechanism of Leishmania major IF4E-1 by 4E-interacting protein-1: Unravelling the determinants of m7GTP cap recognition.

Project description:During their life cycle, Leishmania parasites display a fine-tuned regulation of the mRNA translation through the differential expression of isoforms of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (LeishIF4Es). The interaction between allosteric modulators such as 4E-interacting proteins (4E-IPs) and LeishIF4E affects the affinity of this initiation factor for the mRNA cap. Here, several computational approaches were employed to elucidate the molecular bases of the previously-reported allosteric modulation in L. major exerted by 4E-IP1 (Lm4E-IP1) on eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E 1 (LmIF4E-1). Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and accurate binding free energy calculations (ΔGbind ) were combined with network-based modeling of residue-residue correlations. We also describe the differences in internal motions of LmIF4E-1 apo form, cap-bound, and Lm4E-IP1-bound systems. Through community network calculations, the differences in the allosteric pathways of allosterically-inhibited and active forms of LmIF4E-1 were revealed. The ΔGbind values show significant differences between the active and inhibited systems, which are in agreement with the available experimental data. Our study thoroughly describes the dynamical perturbations of LmIF4E-1 cap-binding site triggered by Lm4E-IP1. These findings are not only essential for the understanding of a critical process of trypanosomatids' gene expression but also for gaining insight into the allostery of eukaryotic IF4Es, which could be useful for structure-based design of drugs against this protein family.
