Crystal structure of the ADP-dependent glucokinase from Pyrococcus horikoshii at 2.0-A resolution: a large conformational change in ADP-dependent glucokinase.

ABSTRACT: Although ATP is the most common phosphoryl group donor for kinases, some kinases from certain hyperthermophilic archaea such as Pyrococcus horikoshii and Thermococcus litoralis use ADP as the phosphoryl donor. Those are ADP-dependent glucokinases (ADPGK) and phosphofructokinases in their glycolytic pathway. Here, we succeeded in gene cloning the ADPGK from P. horikoshii OT3 (phGK) in Escherichia coli,and in easy preparation of the enzyme, crystallization, and the structure determination of the apo enzyme. Recently, the three-dimensional structure of the ADPGK from T. litoralis (tlGK) in a complex with ADP was reported. The overall structure of two homologous enzymes (56.7%) was basically similar: This means that they consisted of large alpha/beta-domains and small domains. However, a marked adjustment of the two domains, which is a 10-A translation and a 20 degrees rotation from the conserved GG sequence located at the center of the hinge, was observed between the apo-phGK and ADP-tlGK structures. The ADP-binding loop (430-439) was disordered in the apo form. It is suggested that a large conformational change takes place during the enzymatic reaction.

Project description:Zinc finger nucleases (ZFN) are powerful tools for editing genes in cells. Here we use ZFNs to interrogate the biological function of human ADPGK, which encodes an ADP-dependent glucokinase (ADPGK), in tumour cell lines. The hypothesis tested is that ADPGK utilises ADP to phosphorylate glucose under conditions where ATP becomes limiting, such as hypoxia. We characterised two ZFN knockout clones in each of two tumour cell lines (H460 and HCT116). All four lines had frameshift mutations in all alleles at the target site in exon 1 of ADPGK, and were ADPGK-null by immunoblotting. ADPGK knockout had little or no effect on cell proliferation, but compromised the ability of H460 cells to survive siRNA silencing of hexokinase-2 under oxic conditions, with clonogenic survival falling from 21±3% for the parental line to 6.4±0.8% (p=0.002) and 4.3±0.8% (p=0.001) for the two knockouts. A similar increased sensitivity to clonogenic cell killing was observed under anoxia. No such changes were found when ADPGK was knocked out in HCT116 cells, for which the parental line was less sensitive than H460 to anoxia and to hexokinase-2 silencing. While knockout of ADPGK in HCT116 cells caused few changes in global gene expression, knockout of ADPGK in H460 cells caused notable up-regulation of mRNAs encoding cell adhesion proteins. Surprisingly, we could discern no effect on glycolysis as measured by glucose consumption or lactate formation under oxic or anoxic conditions, or extracellular acidification rate (Seahorse XF analyser) under oxic conditions in a variety of media. However, oxygen consumption rates were generally lower in the ADPGK knockouts, in some cases markedly so. Collectively, the results demonstrate that ADPGK can contribute to tumour cell survival under conditions of high glycolytic dependence, but the phenotype resulting from knockout of ADPGK is cell line dependent and appears to be unrelated to priming of glycolysis. Use Affymetrix microarrays to examine the effecs of knockout of the gene ADPGK using Zinc Finger nucleases in two cultured cell lines: (i) HCT116 cells (three wild type cultures compared to three ADPGK-knockout cultures), (ii) H460 cells (two wild type cultures compared to two ADPGK-knockout cultures). Ten microarrays in total.
