Organotin-protein interactions. Binding of triethyltin bromide to cat haemoglobin.

ABSTRACT: Triethyltin binds to native cat and rat haemoglobin but not to their denatured forms or to other animal haemoglobins. Two molecules of the organotin bind to one molecule of R-state cat haemoglobin with affinity constants of about 1 X 10(5) M-1. Little or no triethyltin is bound to the deoxygenated (T-state) protein. Binding appears to be dependent upon the existence of a specific three-dimensional configuration of cysteine and histidine residues. The properties of the triethyltin-cat haemoglobin complex are consistent with those of a haemoglobin conformer whose allosteric equilibrium is displaced toward the R-state. Its oxygen affinity and rate of oxidation by nitrite is increased, and the rate of reduction of the methaemoglobin derivative by ascorbate is decreased. These effects of triethyltin are opposite and antagonistic to the effects of inositol hexaphosphate. They are exerted on the alpha- as well as beta-haem groups, even though triethyltin is bound at sites on alpha-globin far removed from the haem groups.

Binding of triethyltin to cat haemoglobin and modification of the binding sites by diethyl pyrocarbonate.

Project description:Cat haemoglobin binds 2 mol of triethyltin/mol of haemoglobin. Pretreatment of the haemoglobin with diethyl pyrocarbonate at pH6.0 prevents binding to one site only, whereas photo-oxidation with Methylene Blue removes both sites. Pretreatment of rat haemoglobin with diethyl pyrocarbonate also leads to the loss of one binding site. The possibility is discussed that the two binding sites for triethyltin on both cat and rat haemoglobin have a different chemical nature.

Triethyltin binding to cat haemoglobin. Evidence for two chemically distinct sites and a role for both histidine and cysteine residues.

Project description:Triethyltin binding to cat haemoglobin was measured after pretreatment of the protein with diethyl pyrocarbonate at pH 6.0,iodoacetamide or phenylmercuric acetate or by photo-oxidation in the presence of Methylene Blue. The pentaco-ordinate nature of the binding of triethyltin to cat haemoglobin is confirmed by the inability of intramolecularly pentaco-ordinate tin compounds to compete. Consideration of the symmetry of the haemoglobin molecule in the light of the above results suggests that a unique arrangement of histidine and cysteine residues is required for the binding of triethyltin. The effects of treatment with diethyl pyrocarbonate of other preparations which bind triethyltin (rat liver supernatant, a fraction from rat liver mitochondria and rat brain myelin) were determined and shown to be complex.

Evidence for histidine in the triethyltin-binding site of rat haemoglobin.

Project description:One molecule of rat haemoglobin binds two molecules of triethyltin. The binding sites are located on the globin and there is co-operativity between the sites such that the intrinsic affinity constant at pH8.0 increases from 3.5x10(5)m(-1) for the binding of the first triethyltin molecule to 5.0x10(5)m(-1) for the binding of the second. Evidence is presented, from pH studies and the kinetics of inhibition due to photo-oxidation, that each binding site contains two histidine residues.

A Theoretical Study of Organotin Binding in Aromatase.

Project description:The widely used organotin compounds are notorious for their acute toxicity. Experiments revealed that organotin might cause reproductive toxicity by reversibly inhibiting animal aromatase functioning. However, the inhibition mechanism is obscure, especially at the molecular level. Compared to experimental methods, theoretical approaches via computational simulations can help to gain a microscopic view of the mechanism. Here, in an initial attempt to uncover the mechanism, we combined molecular docking and classical molecular dynamics to investigate the binding between organotins and aromatase. The energetics analysis indicated that the van der Waals interaction is the primary driving force of binding the organic tail of organotin and the aromatase center. The hydrogen bond linkage trajectory analysis revealed that water plays a significant role in linking the ligand-water-protein triangle network. As an initial step in studying the mechanism of organotin inhibiting aromatase, this work provides an in-depth understanding of the binding mechanism of organotin. Further, our study will help to develop effective and environmentally friendly methods to treat animals that have already been contaminated by organotin, as well as sustainable solutions for organotin degradation.

The structure of ?-haemoglobin in complex with a haemoglobin-binding domain from Staphylococcus aureus reveals the elusive ?-haemoglobin dimerization interface.

Project description:Adult haemoglobin (Hb) is made up of two ? and two ? subunits. Mutations that reduce expression of the ?- or ?-globin genes lead to the conditions ?- or ?-thalassaemia, respectively. Whilst both conditions are characterized by anaemia of variable severity, other details of their pathophysiology are different, in part owing to the greater stability of the ? chains that is conferred through ? self-association. In contrast, ? subunits interact weakly, and in the absence of stabilizing quaternary interactions the ? chain (?) is prone to haem loss and denaturation. The molecular contacts that confer weak self-association of ? have not been determined previously. Here, the first structure of an ?2 homodimer is reported in complex with one domain of the Hb receptor from Staphylococcus aureus. The ?2 dimer interface has a highly unusual, approximately linear, arrangement of four His side chains within hydrogen-bonding distance of each other. Some interactions present in the ?1?1 dimer interface of native Hb are preserved in the ?2 dimer. However, a marked asymmetry is observed in the ?2 interface, suggesting that steric factors limit the number of stabilizing interactions that can form simultaneously across the interface.

AHSP (?-haemoglobin-stabilizing protein) stabilizes apo-?-haemoglobin in a partially folded state.

Project description:To produce functional Hb (haemoglobin), nascent ?-globin (?o) and ?-globin (?o) chains must each bind a single haem molecule (to form ?h and ?h) and interact together to form heterodimers. The precise sequence of binding events is unknown, and it has been suggested that additional factors might enhance the efficiency of Hb folding. AHSP (?-haemoglobin-stabilizing protein) has been shown previously to bind ?h and regulate redox activity of the haem iron. In the present study, we used a combination of classical and dynamic light scattering and NMR spectroscopy to demonstrate that AHSP forms a heterodimeric complex with ?o that inhibits ?o aggregation and promotes ?o folding in the absence of haem. These findings indicate that AHSP may function as an ?o-specific chaperone, and suggest an important role for ?o in guiding Hb assembly by stabilizing ?o and inhibiting off-pathway self-association of ?h.

Molecular simulation studies of the interactions between the human/pangolin/cat/bat ACE2 and the receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

Project description:The recent outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 has had a profound effect on the world. Similar to that in SARS-CoV, the entry receptor of SARS-CoV-2 is ACE2. The binding of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to ACE2 is the critical to the virus infection. Recently multiple species (human, Chinese chrysanthemum, Malay pangolin and cat) have been reported to be susceptible to the virus infection. However, the binding capacity and the detailed binding mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to ACE2 of these species remains unexplored. Herein free energy calculations with MM-GBSA and Potential of Mean Forces together reveal that the Human-SARS-CoV-2 has a higher stability tendency than Human-SARS-CoV. Meanwhile, we uncover that SARS-CoV-2 has an enhanced ability to bind with the ACE2 in humans, pangolins and cats compared to that in bats. Analysis of key residues with energy decomposition and residue contact maps reveal several important consensus sites in ACE2s among the studied species, and determined the more favorable specified residues among the different types of amino acids. These results provide important implications for understanding SARS-CoV-2 host range which will make it possible to control the spread of the virus and use of animal models, targeted drug screening and vaccine candidates against SARS-CoV-2.

CAT-CPI: Combining CNN and transformer to learn compound image features for predicting compound-protein interactions.

Project description:Compound-protein interaction (CPI) prediction is a foundational task for drug discovery, which process is time-consuming and costly. The effectiveness of CPI prediction can be greatly improved using deep learning methods to accelerate drug development. Large number of recent research results in the field of computer vision, especially in deep learning, have proved that the position, geometry, spatial structure and other features of objects in an image can be well characterized. We propose a novel molecular image-based model named CAT-CPI (combining CNN and transformer to predict CPI) for CPI task. We use Convolution Neural Network (CNN) to learn local features of molecular images and then use transformer encoder to capture the semantic relationships of these features. To extract protein sequence feature, we propose to use a k-gram based method and obtain the semantic relationships of sub-sequences by transformer encoder. In addition, we build a Feature Relearning (FR) module to learn interaction features of compounds and proteins. We evaluated CAT-CPI on three benchmark datasets-Human, Celegans, and Davis-and the experimental results demonstrate that CAT-CPI presents competitive performance against state-of-the-art predictors. In addition, we carry out Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI) experiments to verify the strong potential of the methods based on molecular images and FR module.

Homology inference of protein-protein interactions via conserved binding sites.

Project description:The coverage and reliability of protein-protein interactions determined by high-throughput experiments still needs to be improved, especially for higher organisms, therefore the question persists, how interactions can be verified and predicted by computational approaches using available data on protein structural complexes. Recently we developed an approach called IBIS (Inferred Biomolecular Interaction Server) to predict and annotate protein-protein binding sites and interaction partners, which is based on the assumption that the structural location and sequence patterns of protein-protein binding sites are conserved between close homologs. In this study first we confirmed high accuracy of our method and found that its accuracy depends critically on the usage of all available data on structures of homologous complexes, compared to the approaches where only a non-redundant set of complexes is employed. Second we showed that there exists a trade-off between specificity and sensitivity if we employ in the prediction only evolutionarily conserved binding site clusters or clusters supported by only one observation (singletons). Finally we addressed the question of identifying the biologically relevant interactions using the homology inference approach and demonstrated that a large majority of crystal packing interactions can be correctly identified and filtered by our algorithm. At the same time, about half of biological interfaces that are not present in the protein crystallographic asymmetric unit can be reconstructed by IBIS from homologous complexes without the prior knowledge of crystal parameters of the query protein.

A DNA-assisted binding assay for weak protein-protein interactions.

Project description:We describe a new method used for quantitating weak interactions between proteins in which the weak interaction is "assisted" by a known DNA-DNA interaction. Oligonucleotides, which are conjugated to proteins of interest, contain short complementary DNA sequences that provide additional binding energy for protein-protein interactions. A stretch of unpaired bases links the protein to the hybridizing DNA sequence to allow formation of both protein-protein and DNA-DNA interactions with minimal structural interference. We validated the DNA-assisted binding method using heterodimerizing coiled-coil proteins. The method was then used to measure the predicted weak interaction between two domains of the Escherichia coli L-arabinose operon regulatory protein AraC. The interaction between domains has the expected magnitude (K(d)=0.37 mM) in the absence of arabinose. Upon addition of arabinose, we detected a weaker and unexpected interaction, which may necessitate modification of the proposed mechanism of AraC. The DNA-assisted binding method may also prove useful in the study of other weak protein-protein interactions.
