ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are ubiquitous molecular pumps that transport a broad range of substrates across biological membranes. Although the structure and function of ABC transporters has been studied extensively, our understanding of their energetics and dynamics remains limited. Here, we present studies of the peptidase-containing ABC transporter 1 (PCAT1), a polypeptide processing and secretion ABC transporter that functions via the classic alternating access mechanism. PCAT1 i ...[more]

Cryo-EM structures of human ZnT8 in both outward- and inward-facing conformations.

Project description:ZnT8 is a Zn2+/H+ antiporter that belongs to SLC30 family and plays an essential role in regulating Zn2+ accumulation in the insulin secretory granules of pancreatic ? cells. However, the Zn2+/H+ exchange mechanism of ZnT8 remains unclear due to the lack of high-resolution structures. Here, we report the cryo-EM structures of human ZnT8 (HsZnT8) in both outward- and inward-facing conformations. HsZnT8 forms a dimeric structure with four Zn2+ binding sites within each subunit: a highly conserved primary site in transmembrane domain (TMD) housing the Zn2+ substrate; an interfacial site between TMD and C-terminal domain (CTD) that modulates the Zn2+ transport activity of HsZnT8; and two adjacent sites buried in the cytosolic domain and chelated by conserved residues from CTD and the His-Cys-His (HCH) motif from the N-terminal segment of the neighboring subunit. A comparison of the outward- and inward-facing structures reveals that the TMD of each HsZnT8 subunit undergoes a large structural rearrangement, allowing for alternating access to the primary Zn2+ site during the transport cycle. Collectively, our studies provide the structural insights into the Zn2+/H+ exchange mechanism of HsZnT8.

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.

Visualizing Heterogeneous Protein Conformations with Multi-Tilt Nanoparticle-Aided Cryo-Electron Microscopy Sampling.

Project description:Obtaining the heterogeneous conformation of small proteins is important for understanding their biological role, but it is still challenging. Here, we developed a multi-tilt nanoparticle-aided cryo-electron microscopy sampling (MT-NACS) technique that enables the observation of heterogeneous conformations of small proteins and applied it to calmodulin. By imaging the proteins labeled by two gold nanoparticles at multiple tilt angles and analyzing the projected positions of the nanoparticles, the distributions of 3D interparticle distances were obtained. From the measured distance distributions, the conformational changes associated with Ca2+ binding and salt concentration were determined. MT-NACS was also used to track the structural change accompanied by the interaction between amyloid-beta and calmodulin, which has never been observed experimentally. This work offers an alternative platform for studying the functional flexibility of small proteins.

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.

Alternative conformations and motions adopted by 30S ribosomal subunits visualized by cryo-electron microscopy.

Project description:It is only after recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy that it is now possible to describe at high-resolution structures of large macromolecules that do not crystalize. Purified 30S subunits interconvert between an "active" and "inactive" conformation. The active conformation was described by crystallography in the early 2000s, but the structure of the inactive form at high resolution remains unsolved. Here we used cryo-electron microscopy to obtain the structure of the inactive conformation of the 30S subunit to 3.6 Å resolution and study its motions. In the inactive conformation, an alternative base-pairing of three nucleotides causes the region of helix 44, forming the decoding center to adopt an unlatched conformation and the 3' end of the 16S rRNA positions similarly to the mRNA during translation. Incubation of inactive 30S subunits at 42°C reverts these structural changes. The air-water interface to which ribosome subunits are exposed during sample preparation also peel off some ribosomal proteins. Extended exposures to low magnesium concentrations make the ribosomal particles more susceptible to the air-water interface causing the unfolding of large rRNA structural domains. Overall, this study provides new insights about the conformational space explored by the 30S ribosomal subunit when the ribosomal particles are free in solution.
