Molecular structures of the eukaryotic retinal importer ABCA4.

Liu Fangyu F Lee James J Chen Jue J

eLife 20210219

The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family contains thousands of members with diverse functions. Movement of the substrate, powered by ATP hydrolysis, can be outward (export) or inward (import). ABCA4 is a eukaryotic importer transporting retinal to the cytosol to enter the visual cycle. It also removes toxic retinoids from the disc lumen. Mutations in ABCA4 cause impaired vision or blindness. Despite decades of clinical, biochemical, and animal model studies, the molecular mechanism of A ...[more]

The structure of the ATP-bound state of S. cerevisiae phosphofructokinase determined by cryo-electron microscopy.

Project description:Phosphofructokinase (Pfk1, EC 2.7.1.11) plays a key regulatory role in the glycolytic pathway. The combination of X-ray crystallographic and biochemical data has provided an understanding of the different conformational changes that occur between the active and inhibited states of the bacterial enzyme, and of the role of the two bacterial effectors. Eukaryotic phosphofructokinases exhibit a far more sophisticated regulatory mechanism, they are more complex structures regulated by a large number of effectors (around 20). Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pfk1 is an 835 kDa hetero-octamer which shows cooperative binding for fructose-6-phosphate (F6P) and non-cooperative binding for ATP. The 3D structure of the F6P-bound state was obtained by cryo-electron microscopy to 1.1 nm resolution. This electron microscopy structure, in combination with molecular replacement using the bacterial enzyme has helped provide initial phases to solve the X-ray structure of the F6P-bound state 12S yeast truncated-tetramer. Biochemical and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) studies had indicated that Pfk1 underwent a large conformational change upon Mg-ATP binding. We have calculated a reconstruction using reference-based 3D projection alignment methods from 0 degrees images acquired from frozen-hydrated preparations of the enzyme in the presence of Mg-ATP. The ATP-bound structure is more extended or open, and the calculated radius of gyration of 7.33 nm (7.0 nm for F6P) is in good agreement with the SAXS data. There is a substantial decrease in the rotational angle between the top and bottom tetramers. Interestingly, all these changes have arisen from a reorientation of the alpha- and beta-subunits in the dimers. The interface region between the alpha- and beta-subunits is now approximately half the size of the one in the F6P-bound structure. This is the first time that the 3D structure of a eukaryotic Pfk1 has been visualized in its T-state (inhibited-state).

Cryo-electron microscopy reconstruction of a poliovirus-receptor-membrane complex.

Project description:To study non-enveloped virus cell entry, a versatile in vitro model system was developed in which liposomes containing nickel-chelating lipids were decorated with His-tagged poliovirus receptors and bound to virus. This system provides an exciting opportunity for structural characterization of the early steps in cell entry in the context of a membrane. Here we report the three-dimensional structure of a poliovirus-receptor-membrane complex solved by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) at a resolution of 32 A. Methods were developed to establish the symmetry of the complex objectively. This reconstruction demonstrates that receptor binding brings a viral five-fold axis close to the membrane. Density is clearly defined for the icosahedral virus, for receptors (including known glycosylation sites) and for the membrane bilayer. Apparent perturbations of the bilayer close to the viral five-fold axis may function in subsequent steps of cell entry.

Random conical tilt reconstruction without particle picking in cryo-electron microscopy.

Project description:A method is proposed to reconstruct the 3D molecular structure from micrographs collected at just one sample tilt angle in the random conical tilt scheme in cryo-electron microscopy. The method uses autocorrelation analysis on the micrographs to estimate features of the molecule which are invariant under certain nuisance parameters such as the positions of molecular projections in the micrographs. This enables the molecular structure to be reconstructed directly from micrographs, completely circumventing the need for particle picking. Reconstructions are demonstrated with simulated data and the effect of the missing-cone region is investigated. These results show promise to reduce the size limit for single-particle reconstruction in cryo-electron microscopy.

Production and purification of ATP-sensitive potassium channel particles for cryo-electron microscopy.

Project description:ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are multimeric protein complexes made of four inward rectifying potassium channel (Kir6.x) subunits and four ABC protein sulfonylurea receptor (SURx) subunits. Kir6.x subunits form the potassium ion conducting pore of the channel, and SURx functions to regulate Kir6.x. Kir6.x and SURx are uniquely dependent on each other for expression and function. In pancreatic β-cells, channels comprising SUR1 and Kir6.2 mediate glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and are the targets of antidiabetic sulfonylureas. Mutations in genes encoding SUR1 or Kir6.2 are linked to insulin secretion disorders, with loss- or gain-of-function mutations causing congenital hyperinsulinism or neonatal diabetes mellitus, respectively. Defects in the KATP channel in other tissues underlie human diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Key to understanding how channels are regulated by physiological and pharmacological ligands and how mutations disrupt channel assembly or gating to cause disease is the ability to observe structural changes associated with subunit interactions and ligand binding. While recent advances in the structural method of single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) offers direct visualization of channel structures, success of obtaining high-resolution structures is dependent on highly concentrated, homogeneous KATP channel particles. In this chapter, we describe a method for expressing KATP channels in mammalian cell culture, solubilizing the channel in detergent micelles and purifying KATP channels using an affinity tag to the SURx subunit for cryoEM structural studies.
