Prephenate dehydratase of the actinomycete Amycolatopsis methanolica: purification and characterization of wild-type and deregulated mutant proteins.

ABSTRACT: Prephenate dehydratase (PDT) is a key regulatory enzyme in L-phenylalanine biosynthesis in the Gram-positive bacterium Amycolatopsis methanolica. The PDT protein was purified to homogeneity (1957-fold) from wild-type cells with a final yield of 6.5%. It was characterized as a 150 kDa homotetrameric protein with a subunit size of 34 kDa. The first 35 N-terminal amino acids were identified, revealing highest similarity to the PDT proteins from Corynebacterium glutamicum and Bacillus subtilis. Kinetic studies showed that the A. methanolica PDT is allosterically inhibited by phenylalanine and activated by tyrosine. Phenylalanine caused an increase in the S0.5 for prephenate and a decrease in the Vmax. Tyrosine caused a decrease in the S0.5 for prephenate and an increase in the Vmax. Spontaneous o-fluoro- and p-fluoro-DL-phenylalanine-resistant mutants of A. methanolica were isolated. Kinetic studies with the partially purified PDT proteins of strains pFPhe32 and oFPhe84 showed that these mutant proteins had become (partly) insensitive to both phenylalanine inhibition and tyrosine activation.

Different physiological roles of ATP- and PP(i)-dependent phosphofructokinase isoenzymes in the methylotrophic actinomycete Amycolatopsis methanolica.

Project description:Cells of the actinomycete Amycolatopsis methanolica grown on glucose possess only a single, exclusively PP(i)-dependent phosphofructokinase (PP(i)-PFK) (A. M. C. R. Alves, G. J. W. Euverink, H. J. Hektor, J. van der Vlag, W. Vrijbloed, D.H.A. Hondmann, J. Visser, and L. Dijkhuizen, J. Bacteriol. 176:6827-6835, 1994). When this methylotrophic bacterium is grown on one-carbon (C(1)) compounds (e.g., methanol), an ATP-dependent phosphofructokinase (ATP-PFK) activity is specifically induced, completely replacing the PP(i)-PFK. The two A. methanolica PFK isoenzymes have very distinct functions, namely, in the metabolism of C(6) and C(1) carbon substrates. This is the first report providing biochemical evidence for the presence and physiological roles of PP(i)-PFK and ATP-PFK isoenzymes in a bacterium. The novel ATP-PFK enzyme was purified to homogeneity and characterized in detail at the biochemical and molecular levels. The A. methanolica ATP-PFK and PP(i)-PFK proteins possess a low level of amino acid sequence similarity (24%), clearly showing that the two proteins are not the result of a gene duplication event. PP(i)-PFK is closely related to other (putative) actinomycete PFK enzymes. Surprisingly, the A. methanolica ATP-PFK is most similar to ATP-PFK from the protozoon Trypanosoma brucei and PP(i)-PFK proteins from the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and Treponema pallidum, both spirochetes, very distinct from actinomycetes. The data thus suggest that A. methanolica obtained the ATP-PFK-encoding gene via a lateral gene transfer event.

A plasmid from the methylotrophic actinomycete Amycolatopsis methanolica capable of site-specific integration.

Project description:Amycolatopsis methanolica contains a 13.3-kb plasmid (pMEA300) which is present both in the free state and integrated at a unique genomic location. A 2.1-kb pMEA300 DNA fragment was sequenced, revealing the putative attP site and two open reading frames, xis and int, showing similarity to genes encoding excisionases and integrases, respectively.

Identification and functional analysis of the transfer region of plasmid pMEA300 of the methylotrophic actinomycete Amycolatopsis methanolica.

Project description:Amycolatopsis methanolica contains a 13.3-kb plasmid (pMEA300) that is present either as an integrated element or as an autonomously replicating plasmid. Conjugational transfer of pMEA300 results in pock formation, zones of growth inhibition that become apparent when plasmid-carrying donor cells develop in a confluent lawn of plasmid-lacking recipient cells. A 6.2-kb pMEA300 DNA region specifying the functions of conjugation and pock formation was sequenced, revealing 10 open reading frames. This is the first sequence of the transfer region of a plasmid from a nonstreptomycete actinomycete. No clear similarities were found between the deduced sequences of the 10 putative Tra proteins of pMEA300 and those of Streptomyces plasmids. All Tra proteins of pMEA300 thus may represent unfamiliar types. A detailed mutational analysis showed that at least four individual proteins, TraG (9,488 Da), TraH (12,586 Da), TraI (40,468 Da), and TraJ (81,109 Da), are required for efficient transfer of pMEA300. Their disruption resulted in a clear reduction in the conjugational transfer frequencies, ranging from (5.2 x 10(1))-fold (TraG) to (2.3 x 10(6))-fold (TraJ), and in reduced pock sizes. At least two putative proteins, TraA (10,698 Da) and TraB (31,442 Da), were shown to be responsible for pock formation specifically. Specific binding of the pMEA300-encoded KorA protein to the traA-korA intragenic region was observed.

Molecular cloning with a pMEA300-derived shuttle vector and characterization of the Amycolatopsis methanolica prephenate dehydratase gene.

Project description:An efficient restriction barrier for methylated DNA in the actinomycete Amycolatopsis methanolica could be avoided by using a nonmethylating Escherichia coli strain for DNA isolations. The A. methanolica prephenate dehydratase gene was cloned from a gene bank in a pMEA300-derived shuttle vector in E. coli and characterized.

RNA targets of wild-type and mutant FET family proteins.

Project description:FUS, EWSR1 and TAF15, constituting the FET protein family, are abundant, highly conserved RNA-binding proteins with important roles in oncogenesis and neuronal disease, yet their RNA targets and recognition elements are unknown. Using PAR-CLIP, we defined global RNA targets for all human FET proteins and two ALS-causing human FUS mutants. FET members showed similar binding profiles, whereas FUS mutants showed a drastically altered binding pattern, consistent with changes in subcellular localization.

Integrating vectors for genetic studies in the rare Actinomycete Amycolatopsis marina.

Project description:BackgroundFew natural product pathways from rare Actinomycetes have been studied due to the difficulty in applying molecular approaches in these genetically intractable organisms. In this study, we sought to identify more integrating vectors, using phage int/attP loci, that would efficiently integrate site-specifically in the rare Actinomycete, Amycolatopsis marina DSM45569.ResultsAnalysis of the genome of A. marina DSM45569 indicated the presence of attB-like sequences for TG1 and R4 integrases. The TG1 and R4 attBs were active in in vitro recombination assays with their cognate purified integrases and attP loci. Integrating vectors containing either the TG1 or R4 int/attP loci yielded exconjugants in conjugation assays from Escherichia coli to A. marina DSM45569. Site-specific recombination of the plasmids into the host TG1 or R4 attB sites was confirmed by sequencing.ConclusionsThe homologous TG1 and R4 attB sites within the genus Amycolatopsis have been identified. The results indicate that vectors based on TG1 and R4 integrases could be widely applicable in this genus.

Two cellular proteins that bind to wild-type but not mutant p53.

Project description:p53 is a tumor-suppressor protein that can activate and repress transcription. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we identified two previously uncharacterized human proteins, designated 53BP1 and 53BP2, that bind to p53. 53BP1 shows no significant homology to proteins in available databases, whereas 53BP2 contains two adjacent ankyrin repeats and a Src homology 3 domain. In vitro binding analyses indicate that both of these proteins bind to the central domain of p53 (residues 80-320) required for site-specific DNA binding. Consistent with this finding, p53 cannot bind simultaneously to 53BP1 or 53BP2 and to a DNA fragment containing a consensus p53 binding site. Unlike other cellular proteins whose binding to p53 has been characterized, both 53BP1 and 53BP2 bind to the wild-type but not to two mutant p53 proteins identified in human tumors, suggesting that binding is dependent on p53 conformation. The characteristics of these interactions argue that 53BP1 and 53BP2 are involved in some aspect of p53-mediated tumor suppression.
