Project description:Genetically encoded biological clocks are found broadly throughout eukaryotes and in cyanobacteria, where they generate circadian (about a day) rhythms that allow organisms to anticipate regular environmental changes and align their physiology and behavior with Earth's daily light/dark cycle. In recent years, many have sought to expand our biochemical and structural understanding of the clock proteins that constitute the molecular "cogs" of these biological clocks. These new studies are beginning to reveal how macromolecular assemblies of dedicated clock proteins form and evolve to contribute to the generation of clocks that function over the timescale of a day. This review will highlight structural and biochemical studies that provide important insight into the molecular mechanisms of cyanobacterial and vertebrate animal clocks. Collectively, these studies demonstrate emerging biochemical properties that appear to be shared by these different clocks, suggesting that there may be some conservation in the regulation and assembly of circadian macromolecular assemblies.

Project description:Protein-protein interactions play a very important role in the process of cellular functionality. Intricate details about the interactions between the proteins in a macromolecular assembly are important to understand the function and significance of protein complexes. We are reporting about a database of protein-protein interactions in huge macromolecular assemblies (PIMADb) that records the intrinsic details of 189,532 interchain interactions in 40,049 complexes from the Protein Data Bank. These details include the results of the quantification and analysis of all the interactions in the complex. The availability of interprotomer interaction networks can enable the design of point mutation experiments. PIMADb can be accessed from the URL: http://caps.ncbs.res.in/pimadb.

Project description:Coordination between the molecular machineries that synthesize and decode prokaryotic mRNAs is an important layer of gene expression control known as transcription-translation coupling. While it has long been known that translation can regulate transcription and vice-versa, recent structural and biochemical work has shed light on the underlying mechanistic basis. Complexes of RNA polymerase linked to a trailing ribosome (expressomes) have been structurally characterized in a variety of states at near-atomic resolution, and also directly visualized in cells. These data are complemented by recent biochemical and biophysical analyses of transcription-translation systems and the individual components within them. Here, we review our improved understanding of the molecular basis of transcription-translation coupling. These insights are discussed in relation to our evolving understanding of the role of coupling in cells.

Project description:The mammalian circadian clock is built on a feedback loop in which PER and CRY proteins repress their own transcription. We found that in mouse liver nuclei all three PERs, both CRYs, and Casein Kinase-1δ (CK1δ) are present together in an ∼1.9-MDa repressor assembly that quantitatively incorporates its CLOCK-BMAL1 transcription factor target. Prior to incorporation, CLOCK-BMAL1 exists in an ∼750-kDa complex. Single-particle electron microscopy (EM) revealed nuclear PER complexes purified from mouse liver to be quasi-spherical ∼40-nm structures. In the cytoplasm, PERs, CRYs, and CK1δ were distributed into several complexes of ∼0.9-1.1 MDa that appear to constitute an assembly pathway regulated by GAPVD1, a cytoplasmic trafficking factor. Single-particle EM of two purified cytoplasmic PER complexes revealed ∼20-nm and ∼25-nm structures, respectively, characterized by flexibly tethered globular domains. Our results define the macromolecular assemblies comprising the circadian feedback loop and provide an initial structural view of endogenous eukaryotic clock machinery.

Project description:Protein turnover maintains the recycling needs of the proteome, and its malfunction has been linked to aging and age-related diseases. However, not all proteins turnover equally, and the factors that contribute to accelerate or slow down turnover are mostly unknown. We measured turnover rates for 3,160 proteins in exponentially growing yeast and analyzed their dependence on physical, functional, and genetic properties. We found that functional characteristics, including protein localization, complex membership, and connectivity, have greater effect on turnover than sequence elements. We also found that protein turnover and mRNA turnover are correlated. Analysis under nutrient perturbation and osmotic stress revealed that protein turnover highly depends on cellular state and is faster when proteins are being actively used. Finally, stress-induced changes in protein and transcript abundance correlated with changes in protein turnover. This study provides a resource of protein turnover rates and principles to understand the recycling needs of the proteome under basal conditions and perturbation.

Project description:Direct measurement of nucleosome turnover dynamics by using co-translational incorporation of the methionine (Met) surrogate azidohomoalaine (Aha) into proteins and subsequent ligation of biotin to Aha-containing proteins through the [3+2] cycloaddition reaction between the azide group of Aha and an alkyne linked to biotin. To measure turnover rates, we treat cells briefly with Aha, couple biotin to nucleosomes containing newly incorporated histones, affinity purify with strepavidin, wash stringently to remove non-histone proteins and H2A/H2B dimers, and analyze the affinity-purified DNA using tiling microarrays. We call this strategy 'CATCH-IT' for Covalent Attachment of Tags to Capture Histones and Identify Turnover. Keywords: Chromatin affinity-purification on microarray All experiments were done using strepavidin pulldown DNA cohybridized with total input DNA to the same array. Two channels per array, Cy5 and Cy3, were used in each experiment.

Project description:Hydrogen exchange rates have become a valuable probe for studying the relationship between dynamics and structure and for dissecting the mechanism by which proteins fold to their native conformation. Typically measured rates correspond to averages over all protein states from which hydrogen exchange can occur. Here we describe a new NMR experiment based on chemical exchange saturation transfer that provides an avenue for obtaining uncontaminated, per-residue amide hydrogen exchange rates for interconverting native and invisible states so long as they can be separated on the basis of distinct (15)N chemical shifts. The approach is applied to the folding reaction of the Fyn SH3 domain that exchanges between a highly populated, NMR-visible native state and a conformationally excited, NMR-invisible state, corresponding to the unfolded ensemble. Excellent agreement between experimentally derived hydrogen exchange rates of the excited state at a pair of pHs is obtained, taking into account the expected dependence of exchange on pH. Extracted rates for the unfolded ensemble have been used to test hydrogen exchange predictions based on the primary protein sequence that are used in many analyses of solvent exchange rates, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.84 obtained.

Project description:Lanthanoid ions exhibit extremely large anomalous X-ray scattering at their L(III) absorption edge. They are thus well suited for anomalous diffraction experiments. A novel class of lanthanoid complexes has been developed that combines the physical properties of lanthanoid atoms with functional chemical groups that allow non-covalent binding to proteins. Two structures of large multimeric proteins have already been determined by using such complexes. Here the use of the luminescent europium tris-dipicolinate complex [Eu(DPA)(3)](3-) to solve the low-resolution structure of a 444 kDa homododecameric aminopeptidase, called PhTET1-12s from the archaea Pyrococcus horikoshii, is reported. Surprisingly, considering the low resolution of the data, the experimental electron density map is very well defined. Experimental phases obtained by using the lanthanoid complex lead to maps displaying particular structural features usually observed in higher-resolution maps. Such complexes open a new way for solving the structure of large molecular assemblies, even with low-resolution data.

Project description:The structural elucidation of native macromolecular assemblies has been a subject of considerable interest in native mass spectrometry (MS), and more recently in tandem with ion mobility spectrometry (IMS-MS), for a better understanding of their biochemical and biophysical functions. In the present work, we describe a new generation trapped ion mobility spectrometer (TIMS), with extended mobility range (K0 = 0.185-1.84 cm2·V-1·s-1), capable of trapping high-molecular-weight (MW) macromolecular assemblies. This compact 4 cm long TIMS analyzer utilizes a convex electrode, quadrupolar geometry with increased pseudopotential penetration in the radial dimension, extending the mobility trapping to high-MW species under native state (i.e., lower charge states). The TIMS capabilities to perform variable scan rate (Sr) mobility measurements over short time (100-500 ms), high-mobility resolution, and ion-neutral collision cross-section (CCSN2) measurements are presented. The trapping capabilities of the convex electrode TIMS geometry and ease of operation over a wide gas flow, rf range, and electric field trapping range are illustrated for the first time using a comprehensive list of standards varying from CsI clusters (n = 6-73), Tuning Mix oligomers (n = 1-5), common proteins (e.g., ubiquitin, cytochrome C, lysozyme, concanavalin (n = 1-4), carbonic anhydrase, β clamp (n = 1-4), topoisomerase IB, bovine serum albumin (n = 1-3), topoisomerase IA, alcohol dehydrogenase), IgG antibody (e.g., avastin), protein-DNA complexes, and macromolecular assemblies (e.g., GroEL and RNA polymerase (n = 1-2)) covering a wide mass (up to m/z 19 000) and CCS range (up to 22 000 Å2 with <0.6% relative standard deviation (RSD)).

Project description:Mutations of cytosolic Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) in humans and overexpression of mutant human SOD1 genes in transgenic mice are associated with the motor neuron degenerative condition known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; Lou Gehrig's disease). Gain-of-function toxicity from the mutant protein expressed in motor neurons, associated with its misfolding and aggregation, leads to dysfunction and cell death, associated with paralyzing disease. Here, using hydrogen-deuterium exchange in intact mice in vivo, we have addressed whether an ALS-associated mutant protein, G85R SOD1-YFP, is subject to the same rate of turnover in spinal cord both early in the course of the disease and later. We find that the mutant protein turns over about 10-fold faster than a similarly expressed wild-type fusion and that there is no significant change in the rate of turnover as animals age and disease progresses.
