Crystal structure of acylphosphatase from hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3

ABSTRACT: Analysis of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 genome database led to the discovery and cloning of acylphosphatase (ORF PH0305a). To elucidate the first structure of archaeal acylphosphatase, we determined the crystal structure of P. horikoshii acylphosphatase at 1.72 Å resolution. The space group of the crystals was P3221, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 86.6 Å and c = 75.4 Å. The overall fold of P. horikoshii acylphosphatase was very similar to the structures of the eukaryotic enzymes. The conformation of putative active site was highly conserved.

Protein-protein interactions of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough 2,061 proteins of Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3, a hyperthermophilic archaeon, have been predicted from the recently completed genome sequence, the majority of proteins show no similarity to those from other organisms and are thus hypothetical proteins of unknown function. Because most proteins operate as parts of complexes to regulate biological processes, we systematically analyzed protein-protein interactions in Pyrococcus using the mammalian two-hybrid system to determine the function of the hypothetical proteins.ResultsWe examined 960 soluble proteins from Pyrococcus and selected 107 interactions based on luciferase reporter activity, which was then evaluated using a computational approach to assess the reliability of the interactions. We also analyzed the expression of the assay samples by western blot, and a few interactions by in vitro pull-down assays. We identified 11 hetero-interactions that we considered to be located at the same operon, as observed in Helicobacter pylori. We annotated and classified proteins in the selected interactions according to their orthologous proteins. Many enzyme proteins showed self-interactions, similar to those seen in other organisms.ConclusionWe found 13 unannotated proteins that interacted with annotated proteins; this information is useful for predicting the functions of the hypothetical Pyrococcus proteins from the annotations of their interacting partners. Among the heterogeneous interactions, proteins were more likely to interact with proteins within the same ortholog class than with proteins of different classes. The analysis described here can provide global insights into the biological features of the protein-protein interactions in P. horikoshii.

Crystal structure of the hyperthermophilic inorganic pyrophosphatase from the archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii.

Project description:A homolog to the eubacteria inorganic pyrophosphatase (PPase, EC 3.6.1.1) was found in the genome of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii. This inorganic pyrophosphatase (Pho-PPase) grows optimally at 88 degrees C. To understand the structural basis for the thermostability of Pho-PPase, we have determined the crystal structure to 2.66 A resolution. The crystallographic asymmetric unit contains three monomers related by approximate threefold symmetry, and a hexamer is built up by twofold crystallographic symmetry. The main-chain fold of Pho-PPase is almost identical to that of the known crystal structure of the model from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. A detailed comparison of the crystal structure of Pho-PPase with related structures from S. acidocaldarius, Thermus thermophilus, and Escherichia coli shows significant differences that may account for the difference in their thermostabilities. A reduction in thermolabile residues, additional aromatic residues, and more intimate association between subunits all contribute to the larger thermophilicity of Pho-PPase. In particular, deletions in two loops surrounding the active site help to stabilize its conformation, while ion-pair networks unique to Pho-PPase are located in the active site and near the C-terminus. The identification of structural features that make PPases more adaptable to extreme temperature should prove helpful for future biotechnology applications.

Structure of peroxiredoxin from the anaerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii.

Project description:The crystal structure of peroxiredoxin from the anaerobic hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii (PhPrx) was determined at a resolution of 2.25 Å. The overall structure was a ring-type decamer consisting of five homodimers. Citrate, which was included in the crystallization conditions, was bound to the peroxidatic cysteine of the active site, with two O atoms of the carboxyl group mimicking those of the substrate hydrogen peroxide. PhPrx lacked the C-terminal tail that forms a 32-residue extension of the protein in the homologous peroxiredoxin from Aeropyrum pernix (ApPrx).

Crystal structure of an archaeal Ski2p-like protein from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3.

Project description:The Ski complex composed of Ski2p, Ski3p, and Ski8p plays an essential role in the 3' to 5' cytoplasmic mRNA degradation pathway in yeast. Ski2p is a putative RNA helicase, belonging in the DExD/H-box protein families and conserved in eukarya as well as in archaea. The gene product (Ph1280p) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 shows sequence homology with Ski2p, sharing 22.6% identical amino acids with a central region of Ski2p. In order to gain structural information about the Ski2p-like RNA helicase, we overproduced Ph1280p in Escherichia coli cells, and purified it to apparent homogeneity. Ph1280p exhibits DNA/RNA-dependent ATPase activity with an optimal temperature at approximately 90 degrees C. The crystal structure of Ph1280p has been solved at a resolution of 3.5 A using single-wavelength anomalous dispersion (SAD) and selenomethionyl (Se-Met)-substituted protein. Ph1280p comprises four subdomains; the two N-terminal subdomains (N1 and N2) fold into an RecA-like architecture with the conserved helicase motifs, while the two C-terminal subdomains (C1 and C2) fold into alpha-helical structures containing a winged helix (WH)-fold and helix-hairpin-helix (HhH)-fold, respectively. Although the structure of each of the Ph1280p subdomains can be individually superimposed on the corresponding domains in other helicases, such as the Escherichia coli DNA helicase RecQ, the relative orientation of the helicase and C-terminal subdomains in Ph1280p is significantly different from that of other helicases. This structural feature is implicated in substrate specificity for the Ski2-like helicase and would play a critical role in the 3' to 5' cytoplasmic mRNA degradation in the Ski complex.

Crystal structure of the probable haloacid dehalogenase PH0459 from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3.

Project description:PH0459, from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3, is a probable haloacid dehalogenase with a molecular mass of 26,725 Da. Here, we report the 2.0 A crystal structure of PH0459 (PDB ID: 1X42) determined by the multiwavelength anomalous dispersion method. The core domain has an alpha/beta structure formed by a six-stranded parallel beta-sheet flanked by six alpha-helices and three 3(10)-helices. One disulfide bond, Cys186-Cys212, forms a bridge between an alpha-helix and a 3(10)-helix, although PH0459 seems to be an intracellular protein. The subdomain inserted into the core domain has a four-helix bundle structure. The crystal packing suggests that PH0459 exists as a monomer. A structural homology search revealed that PH0459 resembles the l-2-haloacid dehalogenases l-DEX YL from Pseudomonas sp. YL and DhlB from Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10. A comparison of the active sites suggested that PH0459 probably has haloacid dehalogenase activity, but its substrate specificity may be different. In addition, the disulfide bond in PH0459 probably facilitates the structural stabilization of the neighboring region in the monomeric form, although the corresponding regions in l-DEX YL and DhlB may be stabilized by dimerization. Since heat-stable dehalogenases can be used for the detoxification of halogenated aliphatic compounds, PH0459 will be a useful target for biotechnological research.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the KaiC-like protein PH0187 from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3.

Project description:KaiC is the central protein in the circadian rhythm in cyanobacteria. The 28?kDa KaiC-like protein PH0187 from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method at 293?K. Crystals of PH0187 were obtained using a reservoir solution consisting of 1.0?M ammonium phosphate monobasic and 0.1?M sodium citrate tribasic pH 5.3 (the final pH value of the reservoir solution was 4.8) and diffracted X-rays to 2.75?Å resolution. The crystal of PH0187 belonged to space group P6(3)22, with unit-cell parameters a=b=239.1, c=106.5?Å. The crystal contained four PH0187 molecules in the asymmetric unit.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of PH1566, a putative ribosomal RNA-processing factor from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3.

Project description:A putative ribosomal RNA-processing factor consisting of two KH domains from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 (PH1566; 25 kDa) was crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method using PEG 3000 as the precipitant. The crystals diffracted X-rays to beyond 2.0 A resolution using a synchrotron-radiation source. The space group of the crystals was determined as primitive orthorhombic P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 45.9, b = 47.4, c = 95.7 A. The crystals contain one molecule in the asymmetric unit (VM = 2.5 A3 Da(-1)) and have a solvent content of 50%.

Overexpression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic studies of a hyperthermophilic adenylosuccinate synthetase from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3.

Project description:Adenylosuccinate synthetase (AdSS) is a ubiquitous enzyme that catalyzes the first committed step in the conversion of inosine monophosphate (IMP) to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) in the purine-biosynthetic pathway. Although AdSS from the vast majority of organisms is 430-457 amino acids in length, AdSS sequences isolated from thermophilic archaea are 90-120 amino acids shorter. In this study, crystallographic studies of a short AdSS sequence from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 (PhAdSS) were performed in order to reveal the unusual structure of AdSS from thermophilic archaea. Crystals of PhAdSS were obtained by the microbatch-under-oil method and X-ray diffraction data were collected to 2.50 Å resolution. The crystal belonged to the trigonal space group P3(2)12, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 57.2, c = 107.9 Å. There was one molecule per asymmetric unit, giving a Matthews coefficient of 2.17 Å(3) Da(-1) and an approximate solvent content of 43%. In contrast, the results of native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and analytical ultracentrifugation showed that the recombinant PhAdSS formed a dimer in solution.

Crystal Structural and Functional Analysis of the Putative Dipeptidase from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3.

Project description:The crystal structure of a putative dipeptidase (Phdpd) from Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 was solved using X-ray data at 2.4 A resolution. The protein is folded into two distinct entities. The N-terminal domain consists of the general topology of the alpha/beta fold, and the C-terminal domain consists of five long mixed strands, four helices, and two 3(10) helices. The structure of Phdpd is quite similar to reported structures of prolidases from P. furiosus (Zn-Pfprol) and P. horikoshii (Zn-Phdpd), where Zn ions are observed in the active site resulting in an inactive form. However, Phdpd did not contain metals in the crystal structure and showed prolidase activity in the absence of additional Co ions, whereas the specific activities increased by 5 times in the presence of a sufficient concentration (1.2 mM) of Co ions. The substrate specificities (X-Pro) of Phdpd were broad compared with those of Zn-Phdpd in the presence of Co ions, whose relative activities are 10% or less for substrates other than Met-Pro, which is the most favorable substrate. The binding constants of Zn-Phdpd with three metals (Zn, Co, and Mn) were higher than those of Phdpd and that with Zn was higher by greater than 2 orders, which were determined by DSC experiments. From the structural comparison of both forms and the above experimental results, it could be elucidated why the protein with Zn(2+) ions is inactive.
