Isolation, subunit composition and interaction of the NDH-1 complexes from Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1.

ABSTRACT: NDH (NADH-quinone oxidoreductase)-1 complexes in cyanobacteria have specific functions in respiration and cyclic electron flow as well as in active CO2 uptake. In order to isolate NDH-1 complexes and to study complex-complex interactions, several strains of Thermosynechococcus elongatus were constructed by adding a His-tag (histidine tag) to different subunits of NDH-1. Two strains with His-tag on CupA and NdhL were successfully used to isolate NDH-1 complexes by one-step Ni2+ column chromatography. BN (blue-native)/SDS/PAGE analysis of the proteins eluted from the Ni2+ column revealed the presence of three complexes with molecular masses of about 450, 300 and 190 kDa, which were identified by MS to be NDH-1L, NDH-1M and NDH-1S respectively, previously found in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. A larger complex of about 490 kDa was also isolated from the NdhL-His strain. This complex, designated 'NDH-1MS', was composed of NDH-1M and NDH-1S. NDH-1L complex was recovered from WT (wild-type) cells of T. elongatus by Ni2+ column chromatography. NdhF1 subunit present only in NDH-1L has a sequence of -HHDHHSHH- internally, which appears to have an affinity for the Ni2+ column. NDH-1S or NDH-1M was not recovered from WT cells by chromatography of this kind. The BN/SDS/PAGE analysis of membranes solubilized by a low concentration of detergent indicated the presence of abundant NDH-1MS, but not NDH-1M or NDH-1S. These results clearly demonstrated that NDH-1S is associated with NDH-1M in vivo.

NOE distance and dihedral angle restraints to calculate the solution structure of the NDH-1 complex subunit CupS from Thermosynechococcus elongatus.

Project description:Here, we have compiled a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-derived set of nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) distance and dihedral angle restraints that allow for the calculation of the structure of the NDH-1 complex subunit CupS from Thermosynechococcus elongatus in solution. These restraints to calculate the structure in solution of CupS have been deposited to the Protein Data Bank (www.rcsb.org) under PDB-ID accession number 2MXA. This is the first experimental data set published to compute the three-dimensional structure of CupS. This structure is presented in the research article "Solution structure of the NDH-1 complex subunit CupS from Thermosynechococcus elongatus" published by Korste et al. in Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1847(2015)1212-1219 [1]. The cyanobacterial multi-subunit membrane protein complex NDH-1 structurally and functionally relates to Complex I of eubacteria and mitochondria. The NDH-1 complex is mechanistically involved in respiration and cyclic electron transfer around photosystem I (PSI) as well as in a unique mechanism for inorganic carbon concentration.

Topology of the plastid Ndh complex and its NDH-F subunit in thylakoid membranes.

Project description:We have investigated the topologies of Ndh (a plastid complex with NADH dehydrogenase activity) and its NDH-F subunit in thylakoids by trypsin and proteinase V8 digestion of both intact and Triton X-100-permeabilized barley thylakoids and identification of the products with antibodies against specific sequences of the NDH-A, NDH-K and NDH-F subunits. Antibody binding and protection against proteinases were also assayed. The analysis of the digestion products of NDH-F by immunodetection and matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization-time-of-flight allowed us to propose its membrane topology and to compare it with bioinformatic predictions and with that of the homologous subunit (ND5/NuoL/NQO12) of the respiratory complex I. Results indicate that the thylakoid Ndh complex may have an L-shaped structure, similar to that of respiratory complex I, with the hydrophilic arm orientated towards the stroma and the hydrophobic arm inserted into the thylakoid. NDH-A and NDH-K may be located at the bridge between the two arms. Similar to ND5/NuoL/NQO12 of complex I, NDH-F must be distally located in the hydrophobic arm. NDH-F would include up to 15 transmembrane helices and 14 hydrophilic regions. A conserved His-349 in the X transmembrane helix could be involved in H+ pumping. The conserved Thr-181 NDH-F, whose probable phosphorylation increases the activity of the Ndh complex, is located within the hydrophilic region between the V and VI transmembrane helices.

The 5 kDa protein NdhP is essential for stable NDH-1L assembly in Thermosynechococcus elongatus.

Project description:The cyanobacterial NADPH:plastoquinone oxidoreductase complex (NDH-1), that is related to Complex I of eubacteria and mitochondria, plays a pivotal role in respiration as well as in cyclic electron transfer (CET) around PSI and is involved in a unique carbon concentration mechanism (CCM). Despite many achievements in the past, the complex protein composition and the specific function of many subunits of the different NDH-1 species remain elusive. We have recently discovered in a NDH-1 preparation from Thermosynechococcus elongatus two novel single transmembrane peptides (NdhP, NdhQ) with molecular weights below 5 kDa. Here we show that NdhP is a unique component of the ? 450 kDa NDH-1L complex, that is involved in respiration and CET at high CO2 concentration, and not detectable in the NDH-1MS and NDH-1MS' complexes that play a role in carbon concentration. C-terminal fusion of NdhP with his-tagged superfolder GFP and the subsequent analysis of the purified complex by electron microscopy and single particle averaging revealed its localization in the NDH-1L specific distal unit of the NDH-1 complex, that is formed by the subunits NdhD1 and NdhF1. Moreover, NdhP is essential for NDH-1L formation, as this type of NDH-1 was not detectable in a ?ndhP::Km mutant.

Cloning, solubilization, and characterization of squalene synthase from Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1.

Project description:Squalene synthase (SQS) is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the condensation of two molecules of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to give presqualene diphosphate (PSPP) and the subsequent rearrangement of PSPP to squalene. These reactions constitute the first pathway-specific steps in hopane biosynthesis in Bacteria and sterol biosynthesis in Eukarya. The genes encoding SQS were isolated from the hopane-producing bacteria Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, and Zymomonas mobilis and cloned into an Escherichia coli expression system. The expressed proteins with a His(6) tag were found exclusively in inclusion bodies when no additives were used in the buffer. After extensive optimization, soluble recombinant T. elongatus BP-1 SQS was obtained when cells were disrupted and purified in buffers containing glycerol. The recombinant B. japonicum and Z. mobilis SQSs could not be solubilized under any of the expression and purification conditions used. Purified T. elongatus His(6)-SQS gave a single band at 42 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and molecular ion at m/z 41886 by electrospray mass spectrometry. Incubation with FPP and NADPH gave squalene as the sole product. Incubation of the enzyme with [(14)C]FPP in the absence of NADPH gave PSPP. The enzyme requires Mg(2+) for activity, has an optimum pH of 7.6, and is strongly stimulated by detergent. Under optimal conditions, the K(m) of FPP is 0.97 +/- 0.10 microM and the k(cat) is 1.74 +/- 0.04 s(-1). Zaragozic acid A, a potent inhibitor of mammalian, fungal, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae SQSs, also inhibited recombinant T. elongatus BP-1 SQS, with a 50% inhibitory concentration of 95.5 +/- 13.6 nM.

Electron transfer in subunit NuoI (TYKY) of Escherichia coli NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (NDH-1).

Project description:Bacterial proton-translocating NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (NDH-1) consists of a peripheral and a membrane domain. The peripheral domain catalyzes the electron transfer from NADH to quinone through a chain of seven iron-sulfur (Fe/S) clusters. Subunit NuoI in the peripheral domain contains two [4Fe-4S] clusters (N6a and N6b) and plays a role in bridging the electron transfer from cluster N5 to the terminal cluster N2. We constructed mutants for eight individual Cys-coordinating Fe/S clusters. With the exception of C63S, all mutants had damaged architecture of NDH-1, suggesting that Cys-coordinating Fe/S clusters help maintain the NDH-1 structure. Studies of three mutants (C63S-coordinating N6a, P110A located near N6a, and P71A in the vicinity of N6b) were carried out using EPR measurement. These three mutations did not affect the EPR signals from [2Fe-2S] clusters and retained electron transfer activities. Signals at g(z) = 2.09 disappeared in C63S and P110A but not in P71A. Considering our data together with the available information, g(z,x) = 2.09, 1.88 signals are assigned to cluster N6a. It is of interest that, in terms of g(z,x) values, cluster N6a is similar to cluster N4. In addition, we investigated the residues (Ile-94 and Ile-100) that are predicted to serve as electron wires between N6a and N6b and between N6b and N2, respectively. Replacement of Ile-100 and Ile-94 with Ala/Gly did not affect the electron transfer activity significantly. It is concluded that conserved Ile-100 and Ile-94 are not essential for the electron transfer.

Comparative analysis to identify determinants of changing life style in Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1, a thermophilic cyanobacterium.

Project description:A comparative genomics analysis among all forty whole genome sequences available for cyanobacteria (3 thermophiles- Thermosynechococcus elongatus BP-1, Synechococcus sp. JA-2-3B'a (2-13), Synechococcus sp. JA-3-3Ab and 37 mesophiles) was performed to identify genomic and proteomic factors responsible for the behaviour of T. elongatus BP-1, a thermophilic unicellular cyanobacterium with optimum growth temperature [OGT] of 55°C. Majority of genomic and proteomic characteristics for this cyanobacterium indicated contrasting features indicating its mesophilic behaviour while the role of mutational biasness and selection pressure is thought to be responsible for high OGT. Contradictory results were obtained for T. elongatus for synonymous codon usage, CvP-bias and amino acid composition with respect to thermophilic behaviour. Calculated J2 index is lowest among all cyanobacterial genomes. Except for proline and termination codons, T. elongatus showed synonymous codon usage pattern which is expected for mesophiles. Results indicated that among cyanobacterial genomes, majority of genomic and proteomic determinants put T. elongatus very close to mesophiles and the whole genome of this organism represents continuous gain of mesophilic rather than thermophilic behavior.

Isolation of receptor-ligand pairs by capture of long-lived multivalent interaction complexes.

Project description:We have combined phage display and array screening for the rapid isolation of pairs of interacting polypeptides. Our strategy, named SAC (selection by avidity capture), is based on the avidity effect, the formation of highly stable complexes formed by multivalent interactions; in our case, between a receptor (multivalently displayed on phage) and a ligand (coexpressed as a multimeric fusion protein). Capture of the long-lived interaction complex allows the isolation of phage bearing cognate interaction pairs, as we demonstrate for a range of interactions, including Ab-antigen pairs and the rapamycin-dependent interaction of FKBP-12 and FRAP. Cognate phage are enriched by SAC up to 1000-fold and interacting pairs can be identified by array screening. Application of SAC to Ab-antigen interactions as a model system yielded over 140 specific Abs to a single antigen and 92 Abs to three different fetal human brain antigens in a single round of SAC each. Our results suggest that SAC should prove useful for the identification and study of receptor-ligand interactions in particular among extracellular proteins, as well as for the rapid generation of specific Abs to multiple antigens.

Subunit Interaction Differences Between the Replication Factor C Complexes in <i>Arabidopsis</i> and Rice.

Project description:Replication factor C (RFC) is a multisubunit complex that opens the sliding clamp and loads it onto the DNA chain in an ATP-dependent manner and is thus critical for high-speed DNA synthesis. In yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and humans, biochemical studies and structural analysis revealed interaction patterns between the subunits and architectures of the clamp loaders. Mutations of ScRFC1/2/3/4/5 lead to loss of cell viability and defective replication. However, the functions of RFC subunits in higher plants are unclear, except for AtRFC1/3/4, and the interaction and arrangement of the subunits have not been studied. Here, we identified rfc2-1/+, rfc3-2/+, and rfc5-1/+ mutants in Arabidopsis, and found that embryos and endosperm arrested at the 2/4-celled embryo proper stage and 6-8 nuclei stages, respectively. Subcellular localization analysis revealed that AtRFC1 and OsRFC1/4/5 proteins were localized in the nucleus, while AtRFC2/3/4/5 and OsRFC2/3 proteins were present both in the nucleus and cytoplasm. By using yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) techniques, we demonstrated the interactions of Arabidopsis and rice (Oryza sativa) RFC subunits, and proposed arrangements of the five subunits within the RFC complex, which were AtRFC5-AtRFC4-AtRFC3/2-AtRFC2/3-AtRFC1 and OsRFC5-OsRFC2-OsRFC3-OsRFC4-OsRFC1, respectively. In addition, AtRFC1 could interact with AtRFC2/3/4/5 in the presence of other subunits, while OsRFC1 directly interacted with the other four subunits. To further characterize the regions required for complex formation, truncated RFC proteins of the subunits were created. The results showed that C-termini of the RFC subunits are required for complex formation. Our studies indicate that the localization and interactions of RFCs in Arabidopsis and rice are distinctly discrepant.

Variable and tissue-specific subunit composition of mitochondrial m-AAA protease complexes linked to hereditary spastic paraplegia.

Project description:The m-AAA protease, an ATP-dependent proteolytic complex in the mitochondrial inner membrane, controls protein quality and regulates ribosome assembly, thus exerting essential housekeeping functions within mitochondria. Mutations in the m-AAA protease subunit paraplegin cause axonal degeneration in hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), but the basis for the unexpected tissue specificity is not understood. Paraplegin assembles with homologous Afg3l2 subunits into hetero-oligomeric complexes which can substitute for yeast m-AAA proteases, demonstrating functional conservation. The function of a third paralogue, Afg3l1 expressed in mouse, is unknown. Here, we analyze the assembly of paraplegin into m-AAA complexes and monitor consequences of paraplegin deficiency in HSP fibroblasts and in a mouse model for HSP. Our findings reveal variability in the assembly of m-AAA proteases in mitochondria in different tissues. Homo-oligomeric Afg3l1 and Afg3l2 complexes and hetero-oligomeric assemblies of both proteins with paraplegin can be formed. Yeast complementation studies demonstrate the proteolytic activity of these assemblies. Paraplegin deficiency in HSP does not result in the loss of m-AAA protease activity in brain mitochondria. Rather, homo-oligomeric Afg3l2 complexes accumulate, and these complexes can substitute for housekeeping functions of paraplegin-containing m-AAA complexes. We therefore propose that the formation of m-AAA proteases with altered substrate specificities leads to axonal degeneration in HSP.

Evolution of an assembly factor-based subunit contributed to a novel NDH-PSI supercomplex formation in chloroplasts.

Project description:Chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase-like (NDH) complex is structurally related to mitochondrial Complex I and forms a supercomplex with two copies of Photosystem I (the NDH-PSI supercomplex) via linker proteins Lhca5 and Lhca6. The latter was acquired relatively recently in a common ancestor of angiosperms. Here we show that NDH-dependent Cyclic Electron Flow 5 (NDF5) is an NDH assembly factor in Arabidopsis. NDF5 initiates the assembly of NDH subunits (PnsB2 and PnsB3) and Lhca6, suggesting that they form a contact site with Lhca6. Our analysis of the NDF5 ortholog in Physcomitrella and angiosperm genomes reveals the subunit PnsB2 to be newly acquired via tandem gene duplication of NDF5 at some point in the evolution of angiosperms. Another Lhca6 contact subunit, PnsB3, has evolved from a protein unrelated to NDH. The structure of the largest photosynthetic electron transport chain complex has become more complicated by acquiring novel subunits and supercomplex formation with PSI.
