Project description:The H,K-ATPase responsible for gastric acidification is a heterodimeric (alpha and beta subunit) P-type ATPase, an integral protein of parietal cell apical membranes, which promotes the electroneutral exchange of K+ for protons, is stimulated by K+ and is inhibited by 2-methyl-8-(phenylmethoxy)imidazo[1, 2-alpha]pyridine-3-acetonitrile (SCH 28080). Hydropathy analysis of the catalytic alpha subunit has been interpreted in terms of four N-terminal transmembrane domains, a cytoplasmically oriented segment containing ATP binding and phosphorylation sites, and a C-terminal region with four or six putative transmembrane domains. Several lines of evidence implicate the C-terminal region of P-type ATPases in cation-binding and occlusion, conformational changes, and interactions with the beta subunit (HKbeta), making the definition of topology a prerequisite for understanding the structural basis of these functions. Influenza haemagglutinin epitopes (YPYDVPDYA; flu tag) were inserted in predicted hydrophilic segments of the alpha subunit (HKalpha) to establish the membrane orientation of two amino acids with different predicted topologies in the C-terminal four- and six-transmembrane models. Wild-type and mutated HKalpha and HKbeta cDNA species were expressed in insect cells (Sf9) via recombinant baculovirus infection, and expression of H,K-ATPase was verified by immunoblotting with HKalpha- and HKbeta-specific and flu-tag-specific antibodies. Functional assays showed K+-stimulated, SCH 28080-sensitive ATPase activity, confirming neo-native topology in H,K-ATPase heterodimers expressed in Sf9 cells. The topology of flu tags was determined by microsomal protease protection assays in Sf9 cells and immunolabelling of HKalpha and HKbeta in intact and permeabilized Sf9 cells. In addition, MS of native H,K-ATPase tryptic peptides identified cytoplasmically oriented HKalpha residues. The results indicated cytoplasmic exposure of Leu844 and Phe996, and luminal exposure of Pro898, leading to a revised secondary structure model of the C-terminal third of HKalpha.

Project description:The soluble cytoplasmic ATPase motor protein SecA powers protein transport across the Escherichia coli inner membrane via the SecYEG translocon. Although dimeric in solution, SecA associates monomerically with SecYEG during secretion according to several crystallographic and cryo-EM structural studies. The steps SecA follows from its dimeric cytoplasmic state to its active SecYEG monomeric state are largely unknown. We have previously shown that dimeric SecA in solution dissociates into monomers upon electrostatic binding to negatively charged lipid vesicles formed from E. coli lipids. Here we address the question of the disposition of SecA on the membrane prior to binding to membrane embedded SecYEG. We mutated to cysteine, one at a time, 25 surface-exposed residues of a Cys-free SecA. To each of these we covalently linked the polarity-sensitive fluorophore NBD whose intensity and fluorescence wavelength-shift change upon vesicle binding report on the the local membrane polarity. We established from these measurements the disposition of SecA bound to the membrane in the absence of SecYEG. Our results confirmed that SecA is anchored in the membrane interface primarily by the positive charges of the N terminus domain. But we found that a region of the nucleotide binding domain II is also important for binding. Both domains are rich in positively charged residues, consistent with electrostatic interactions playing the major role in membrane binding. Selective replacement of positively charged residues in these domains with alanine resulted in weaker binding to the membrane, which allowed us to quantitate the relative importance of the domains in stabilizing SecA on membranes. Fluorescence quenchers inside the vesicles had little effect on NBD fluorescence, indicating that SecA does not penetrate significantly across the membrane. Overall, the topology of SecA on the membrane is consistent with the conformation of SecA observed in crystallographic and cryo-EM structures of SecA-SecYEG complexes, suggesting that SecA can switch between the membrane-associated and the translocon-associated states without significant changes in conformation.

Project description:This article offers an explanation for the apparent lack of Na, K-ATPase activity in parietal cells although ouabain has been known to inhibit gastric acid secretion since 1962. The gastric H, K-ATPase (proton-pump) seems to be acting in altered states, thus behaving like a Na, K-ATPase (Na-pump) and/or Ca-ATPase (Ca-pump) depending on cellular needs. This conclusion is based on the following findings. First, parietal cell fractions do not exhibit Na, K-ATPase activity at pH 7.0 but do at pH 8.5. Second, the apical plasma membrane (APM) fraction exhibits a (Ca or Mg)-ATPase activity with negligible H, K-ATPase activity. However, when assayed with Mg alone in presence of the 80 k Da cytosolic proton-pump activator (HAF), the APM fraction reveals remarkably high H, K-ATPase activity, suggesting the observed low affinity of Ca (or Mg)-ATPase is an altered state of the latter. Third, calcium (between 1 and 4 µM) shows both stimulation and inhibition of the HAF-stimulated H, K-ATPase depending on its concentration, revealing a close interaction between the proton-pump activator and local Ca concentration in gastric H, K-ATPase function. Such interactions suggest that Ca is acting as a terminal member of the intracellular signaling system for the HAF-regulated proton-pump. It appears that during resting state, the HAF-associated H, K-ATPase remains inhibited by Ca (>1 µM) and, prior to resumption of acid secretion the gastric H, K-ATPase acts temporarily as a Ca-pump for removing excess Ca from its immediate environment. This conclusion is consistent with the recent reports of immunochemical co-localization of the gastric H, K-ATPase and Ca-ATPase by superimposition in parietal cells, and a transitory efflux of Ca immediately preceding the onset of acid secretion. These new perspectives on proton-pump function would open new avenues for a fuller understanding of the intracellular regulation of the ubiquitous Na-pump.

Project description:We cloned a guanylyl cyclase of 280 kDa from the ciliate Paramecium which has an N-terminus similar to that of a P-type ATPase and a C-terminus with a topology identical to mammalian adenylyl cyclases. Respective signature sequence motifs are conserved in both domains. The cytosolic catalytic C1a and C2a segments of the cyclase are inverted. Genes coding for topologically identical proteins with substantial sequence similarities have been cloned from Tetrahymena and were detected in sequences from Plasmodium deposited by the Malaria Genome Project. After 99 point mutations to convert the Paramecium TAA/TAG-Gln triplets to CAA/CAG, together with partial gene synthesis, the gene from Paramecium was heterologously expressed. In Sf9 cells, the holoenzyme is proteolytically processed into the two domains. Immunocytochemistry demonstrates expression of the protein in Paramecium and localizes it to cell surface membranes. The data provide a novel structural link between class III adenylyl and guanylyl cyclases and imply that the protozoan guanylyl cyclases evolved from an ancestral adenylyl cyclase independently of the mammalian guanylyl cyclase isoforms. Further, signal transmission in Ciliophora (Paramecium, Tetrahymena) and in the most important endoparasitic phylum Apicomplexa (Plasmodium) is, quite unexpectedly, closely related.

Project description:The target of rapamycin (Tor) is a Ser/Thr protein kinase that regulates a range of anabolic and catabolic processes. Tor is present in two complexes, TORC1 and TORC2, in which the Tor-Lst8 heterodimer forms a common sub-complex. We have determined the cryo-electron microscopy (EM) structure of Tor bound to Lst8. Two Tor-Lst8 heterodimers assemble further into a dyad-symmetry dimer mediated by Tor-Tor interactions. The first 1,300 residues of Tor form a HEAT repeat-containing α-solenoid with four distinct segments: a highly curved 800-residue N-terminal 'spiral', followed by a 400-residue low-curvature 'bridge' and an extended 'railing' running along the bridge leading to the 'cap' that links to FAT region. This complex topology was verified by domain insertions and offers a new interpretation of the mTORC1 structure. The spiral of one TOR interacts with the bridge of another, which together form a joint platform for the Regulatory Associated Protein of TOR (RAPTOR) regulatory subunit.

Project description:Clp ATPases are powerful ring shaped nanomachines which participate in the degradation pathway of the protein quality control system, coupling the energy from ATP hydrolysis to threading substrate proteins (SP) through their narrow central pore. Repetitive cycles of sequential intra-ring ATP hydrolysis events induce axial excursions of diaphragm-forming central pore loops that effect the application of mechanical forces onto SPs to promote unfolding and translocation. We perform Langevin dynamics simulations of a coarse-grained model of the ClpY ATPase-SP system to elucidate the molecular details of unfolding and translocation of an ?/? model protein. We contrast this mechanism with our previous studies which used an all-? SP. We find conserved aspects of unfolding and translocation mechanisms by allosteric ClpY, including unfolding initiated at the tagged C-terminus and translocation via a power stroke mechanism. Topology-specific aspects include the time scales, the rate limiting steps in the degradation pathway, the effect of force directionality, and the translocase efficacy. Mechanisms of ClpY-assisted unfolding and translocation are distinct from those resulting from non-allosteric mechanical pulling. Bulk unfolding simulations, which mimic Atomic Force Microscopy-type pulling, reveal multiple unfolding pathways initiated at the C-terminus, N-terminus, or simultaneously from both termini. In a non-allosteric ClpY ATPase pore, mechanical pulling with constant velocity yields larger effective forces for SP unfolding, while pulling with constant force results in simultaneous unfolding and translocation.

Project description:In bacteria, the translocation of proteins across the cytoplasmic membrane by the Sec machinery requires the ATPase SecA. SecA binds ribosomes and recognises nascent substrate proteins, but the molecular mechanism of nascent substrate recognition is unknown. We investigated the role of the C-terminal tail (CTT) of SecA in nascent polypeptide recognition. The CTT consists of a flexible linker (FLD) and a small metal-binding domain (MBD). Phylogenetic analysis and ribosome binding experiments indicated that the MBD interacts with 70S ribosomes. Disruption of the MBD only or the entire CTT had opposing effects on ribosome binding, substrate-protein binding, ATPase activity and in vivo function, suggesting that the CTT influences the conformation of SecA. Site-specific crosslinking indicated that F399 in SecA contacts ribosomal protein uL29, and binding to nascent chains disrupts this interaction. Structural studies provided insight into the CTT-mediated conformational changes in SecA. Our results suggest a mechanism for nascent substrate protein recognition.

Project description:Proteins of the conserved HORMA domain family, including the spindle assembly checkpoint protein MAD2 and the meiotic HORMADs, assemble into signaling complexes by binding short peptides termed "closure motifs". The AAA+ ATPase TRIP13 regulates both MAD2 and meiotic HORMADs by disassembling these HORMA domain-closure motif complexes, but its mechanisms of substrate recognition and remodeling are unknown. Here, we combine X-ray crystallography and crosslinking mass spectrometry to outline how TRIP13 recognizes MAD2 with the help of the adapter protein p31comet We show that p31comet binding to the TRIP13 N-terminal domain positions the disordered MAD2 N-terminus for engagement by the TRIP13 "pore loops", which then unfold MAD2 in the presence of ATP N-terminal truncation of MAD2 renders it refractory to TRIP13 action in vitro, and in cells causes spindle assembly checkpoint defects consistent with loss of TRIP13 function. Similar truncation of HORMAD1 in mouse spermatocytes compromises its TRIP13-mediated removal from meiotic chromosomes, highlighting a conserved mechanism for recognition and disassembly of HORMA domain-closure motif complexes by TRIP13.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition thought to reflect a failure of the enteral immune system to adequately regulate itself. Inflammatory stress drives upregulation of heat-shock proteins (HSPs), including the pro-inflammatory chaperone, HSP90. This protein sequesters the transcription factor, heat-shock factor 1 (HSF1) in the cytoplasm preventing transcription of a number of anti-inflammatory proteins. We hypothesized that inhibition of HSP90 would exert an anti-inflammatory effect and thereby attenuate intestinal inflammation in murine models of IBD. Inhibition of HSP90 with 17-allylaminogeldanamycin (17-AAG) reduced inflammation in acute dextran sodium sulfate and chronic CD45RB(High) colitis models coinciding with increased interleukin (IL)-10 production in the colon. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) from mice treated with 17-AAG demonstrated significantly greater suppressive capacity in vitro abolished in HSF1-/- or IL-10-/- cells. Finally, Tregs treated with 17-AAG exhibited increased nuclear localization of HSF1 with resultant upregulation of HSF1 response genes, including HSP70, HSP90 and IL-10.

Project description:Subunit a of the vacuolar H(+)-ATPases plays an important role in proton transport. This membrane-integral 100-kDa subunit is thought to form or contribute to proton-conducting hemichannels that allow protons to gain access to and leave buried carboxyl groups on the proteolipid subunits (c, c', and c″) during proton translocation. We previously demonstrated that subunit a contains a large N-terminal cytoplasmic domain followed by a C-terminal domain containing eight transmembrane (TM) helices. TM7 contains a buried arginine residue (Arg-735) that is essential for proton transport and is located on a helical face that interacts with the proteolipid ring. To further define the topology of the C-terminal domain, the accessibility of 30 unique cysteine residues to the membrane-permeant reagent N-ethylmaleimide and the membrane-impermeant reagent polyethyleneglycol maleimide was determined. The results further define the borders of transmembrane segments in subunit a. To identify additional buried polar and charged residues important in proton transport, 25 sites were individually mutated to hydrophobic amino acids, and the effect on proton transport was determined. These and previous results identify a set of residues important for proton transport located on the cytoplasmic half of TM7 and TM8 and the lumenal half of TM3, TM4, and TM7. Based upon these data, we propose a tentative model in which the cytoplasmic hemichannel is located at the interface of TM7 and TM8 of subunit a and the proteolipid ring, whereas the lumenal hemichannel is located within subunit a at the interface of TM3, TM4, and TM7.
