Structure and mechanism of the human NHE1-CHP1 complex.

ABSTRACT: Sodium/proton exchanger 1 (NHE1) is an electroneutral secondary active transporter present on the plasma membrane of most mammalian cells and plays critical roles in regulating intracellular pH and volume homeostasis. Calcineurin B-homologous protein 1 (CHP1) is an obligate binding partner that promotes NHE1 biosynthetic maturation, cell surface expression and pH-sensitivity. Dysfunctions of either protein are associated with neurological disorders. Here, we elucidate structures of the human NHE1-CHP1 complex in both inward- and inhibitor (cariporide)-bound outward-facing conformations. We find that NHE1 assembles as a symmetrical homodimer, with each subunit undergoing an elevator-like conformational change during cation exchange. The cryo-EM map reveals the binding site for the NHE1 inhibitor cariporide, illustrating how inhibitors block transport activity. The CHP1 molecule differentially associates with these two conformational states of each NHE1 monomer, and this association difference probably underlies the regulation of NHE1 pH-sensitivity by CHP1.

Biallelic CHP1 mutation causes human autosomal recessive ataxia by impairing NHE1 function.

Project description:Objective:To ascertain the genetic and functional basis of complex autosomal recessive cerebellar ataxia (ARCA) presented by 2 siblings of a consanguineous family characterized by motor neuropathy, cerebellar atrophy, spastic paraparesis, intellectual disability, and slow ocular saccades. Methods:Combined whole-genome linkage analysis, whole-exome sequencing, and focused screening for identification of potential causative genes were performed. Assessment of the functional consequences of the mutation on protein function via subcellular fractionation, size-exclusion chromatography, and fluorescence microscopy were done. A zebrafish model, using Morpholinos, was generated to study the pathogenic effect of the mutation in vivo. Results:We identified a biallelic 3-bp deletion (p.K19del) in CHP1 that cosegregates with the disease. Neither focused screening for CHP1 variants in 2 cohorts (ARCA: N = 319 and NeurOmics: N = 657) nor interrogating GeneMatcher yielded additional variants, thus revealing the scarcity of CHP1 mutations. We show that mutant CHP1 fails to integrate into functional protein complexes and is prone to aggregation, thereby leading to diminished levels of soluble CHP1 and reduced membrane targeting of NHE1, a major Na+/H+ exchanger implicated in syndromic ataxia-deafness. Chp1 deficiency in zebrafish, resembling the affected individuals, led to movement defects, cerebellar hypoplasia, and motor axon abnormalities, which were ameliorated by coinjection with wild-type, but not mutant, human CHP1 messenger RNA. Conclusions:Collectively, our results identified CHP1 as a novel ataxia-causative gene in humans, further expanding the spectrum of ARCA-associated loci, and corroborated the crucial role of NHE1 within the pathogenesis of these disorders.

Structure of human Na+/H+ exchanger NHE1 regulatory region in complex with calmodulin and Ca2+.

Project description:The ubiquitous mammalian Na(+)/H(+) exchanger NHE1 has critical functions in regulating intracellular pH, salt concentration, and cellular volume. The regulatory C-terminal domain of NHE1 is linked to the ion-translocating N-terminal membrane domain and acts as a scaffold for signaling complexes. A major interaction partner is calmodulin (CaM), which binds to two neighboring regions of NHE1 in a strongly Ca(2+)-dependent manner. Upon CaM binding, NHE1 is activated by a shift in sensitivity toward alkaline intracellular pH. Here we report the 2.23 ? crystal structure of the NHE1 CaM binding region (NHE1(CaMBR)) in complex with CaM and Ca(2+). The C- and N-lobes of CaM bind the first and second helix of NHE1(CaMBR), respectively. Both the NHE1 helices and the Ca(2+)-bound CaM are elongated, as confirmed by small angle x-ray scattering analysis. Our x-ray structure sheds new light on the molecular mechanisms of the phosphorylation-dependent regulation of NHE1 and enables us to propose a model of how Ca(2+) regulates NHE1 activity.

Structure and pro-toxic mechanism of the human Hsp90/PPIase/Tau complex.

Project description:The molecular chaperone Hsp90 is critical for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis and represents a promising drug target. Despite increasing knowledge on the structure of Hsp90, the molecular basis of substrate recognition and pro-folding by Hsp90/co-chaperone complexes remains unknown. Here, we report the solution structures of human full-length Hsp90 in complex with the PPIase FKBP51, as well as the 280?kDa Hsp90/FKBP51 complex bound to the Alzheimer's disease-related protein Tau. We reveal that the FKBP51/Hsp90 complex, which synergizes to promote toxic Tau oligomers in vivo, is highly dynamic and stabilizes the extended conformation of the Hsp90 dimer resulting in decreased Hsp90 ATPase activity. Within the ternary Hsp90/FKBP51/Tau complex, Hsp90 serves as a scaffold that traps the PPIase and nucleates multiple conformations of Tau's proline-rich region next to the PPIase catalytic pocket in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. Our study defines a conceptual model for dynamic Hsp90/co-chaperone/client recognition.

Dynamic Na+/H+ exchanger 1 (NHE1) - calmodulin complexes of varying stoichiometry and structure regulate Ca2+-dependent NHE1 activation.

Project description:Calmodulin (CaM) engages in Ca2+-dependent interactions with numerous proteins, including a still incompletely understood physical and functional interaction with the human Na+/H+-exchanger NHE1. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, isothermal titration calorimetry, and fibroblasts stably expressing wildtype and mutant NHE1, we discovered multiple accessible states of this functionally important complex existing in different NHE1:CaM stoichiometries and structures. We determined the NMR solution structure of a ternary complex in which CaM links two NHE1 cytosolic tails. In vitro, stoichiometries and affinities could be tuned by variations in NHE1:CaM ratio and calcium ([Ca2+]) and by phosphorylation of S648 in the first CaM-binding α-helix. In cells, Ca2+-CaM-induced NHE1 activity was reduced by mimicking S648 phosphorylation and by mutation of the first CaM-binding α-helix, whereas it was unaffected by inhibition of Akt, one of several kinases phosphorylating S648. Our results demonstrate a diversity of NHE1:CaM interaction modes and suggest that CaM may contribute to NHE1 dimerization and thereby augment NHE1 regulation. We propose that a similar structural diversity is of relevance to many other CaM complexes.

Cryo-EM structure of NPF-bound human Arp2/3 complex and activation mechanism.

Project description:Actin-related protein (Arp) 2/3 complex nucleates branched actin networks that drive cell motility. It consists of seven proteins, including two actin-related subunits (Arp2 and Arp3). Two nucleation-promoting factors (NPFs) bind Arp2/3 complex during activation, but the order, specific interactions, and contribution of each NPF to activation are unresolved. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of recombinantly expressed human Arp2/3 complex with two WASP family NPFs bound and address the mechanism of activation. A cross-linking assay that captures the transition of the Arps into the activated filament-like conformation shows that actin binding to NPFs favors this transition. Actin-NPF binding to Arp2 precedes binding to Arp3 and is sufficient to promote the filament-like conformation but not activation. Structure-guided mutagenesis of the NPF-binding sites reveals their distinct roles in activation and shows that, contrary to budding yeast Arp2/3 complex, NPF-mediated delivery of actin at the barbed end of both Arps is required for activation of human Arp2/3 complex.

Structure and mechanism of the Nap adhesion complex from the human pathogen Mycoplasma genitalium.

Project description:Mycoplasma genitalium is a human pathogen adhering to host target epithelial cells and causing urethritis, cervicitis and pelvic inflammatory disease. Essential for infectivity is a transmembrane adhesion complex called Nap comprising proteins P110 and P140. Here we report the crystal structure of P140 both alone and in complex with the N-terminal domain of P110. By cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and tomography (cryo-ET) we find closed and open Nap conformations, determined at 9.8 and 15 Å, respectively. Both crystal structures and the cryo-EM structure are found in a closed conformation, where the sialic acid binding site in P110 is occluded. By contrast, the cryo-ET structure shows an open conformation, where the binding site is accessible. Structural information, in combination with functional studies, suggests a mechanism for attachment and release of M. genitalium to and from the host cell receptor, in which Nap conformations alternate to sustain motility and guarantee infectivity.

Structure, mechanism, and regulation of polycomb-repressive complex 2.

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) methylates lysine 27 in histone H3, a modification associated with epigenetic gene silencing. This complex plays a fundamental role in regulating cellular differentiation and development, and PRC2 overexpression and mutations have been implicated in numerous cancers. In this Minireview, we examine recent studies elucidating the first crystal structures of the PRC2 core complex, yielding seminal insights into its catalytic mechanism, substrate specificity, allosteric regulation, and inhibition by a class of small molecules that are currently undergoing cancer clinical trials. We conclude by exploring unresolved questions and future directions for inquiry regarding PRC2 structure and function.

Structure of the human frataxin-bound iron-sulfur cluster assembly complex provides insight into its activation mechanism.

Project description:The core machinery for de novo biosynthesis of iron-sulfur clusters (ISC), located in the mitochondria matrix, is a five-protein complex containing the cysteine desulfurase NFS1 that is activated by frataxin (FXN), scaffold protein ISCU, accessory protein ISD11, and acyl-carrier protein ACP. Deficiency in FXN leads to the loss-of-function neurodegenerative disorder Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA). Here the 3.2 Å resolution cryo-electron microscopy structure of the FXN-bound active human complex, containing two copies of the NFS1-ISD11-ACP-ISCU-FXN hetero-pentamer, delineates the interactions of FXN with other component proteins of the complex. FXN binds at the interface of two NFS1 and one ISCU subunits, modifying the local environment of a bound zinc ion that would otherwise inhibit NFS1 activity in complexes without FXN. Our structure reveals how FXN facilitates ISC production through stabilizing key loop conformations of NFS1 and ISCU at the protein-protein interfaces, and suggests how FRDA clinical mutations affect complex formation and FXN activation.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) Vpr induced downregulation of NHE1 induces alteration in intracellular pH and loss of ERM complex in target cells.

Project description:Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Vpr is known to dysregulate host cellular functions through its interaction with cellular proteins. Using a protein array we assessed Vpr-mediated differential regulation of host cellular proteins expression. Results demonstrated that Vpr differentially regulated host factors that are involved in functions, such as cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. One of the most highly downregulated proteins attained was the sodium hydrogen exchanger, isoform 1 (NHE1), which showed a significant (60%) decrease in HIV-1 Vpr(+) virus infected cells as compared to HIV-1 Vpr(-) virus infected control. NHE1 downregulation further led to acidification of cells and was directly correlated with loss of ezrin, radixin and moesin (ERM) protein complex and decreased AKT phosphorylation. Vpr-mediated NHE1 dyregulation is in part through GR pathway as GR antagonist, mifepristone reversed Vpr-induced NHE1 downregulation.
