Project description:Methyl CpG binding domain 3 (Mbd3) protein belongs to the MBD family of proteins, responsible for reading the DNA methylation pattern. MBD family proteins bind the methyl-CpG domain and are also involved in heterochromatin formation. Mbd3 protein does not have the ability to selectively recognize methyl-CpG islands, however, its characteristic feature is the ability to bind to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and unmethylated DNA. Little is known about the role of Mbd3 in epilepsy and epileptogenesis. Our previous study (Bednarczyk et al., 2016) showed an increase in levels of NuRD complex proteins, including Mbd3 protein, in the brain of epileptic animals in a rat model of temporal epilepsy induced by electrical stimulation of the amygdala. Amygdala stimulation induced the binding of NuRD complex containing MBD3 to larger number of regions of DNA. In the present study, we investigated whether the Mbd3 protein is involved in the determination of the seizure threshold. An increase in Mbd3 protein levels was demonstrated in the entorhinal cortex/amygdala in the rat’s brain 4 hours after pentylenetetrazole (PTZ)-induced seizures. No alterations in MBD3 protein levels were detected in hippocampus and somatosensory cortex. No alterations in MBD3 mRNA expression were observed at any time point in any studied brain area. Reduction of Mbd3 level using AAV vector coding shRNA against Mbd3 injected to the amygdala prolonged the latency time to the onset of an acute seizure in PTZ challenge test indicating increase in seizure threshold. This was accompanied by increased anxiety in the open field test. In the contrast, an overexpression of Mbd3 using AAV decreased anxiety and increased their excitability in the open field test. Moreover Mbd3 overexpression in the amygdala accelerated epileptogenesis in the PTZ-kindling model. In order to identify the role of Mbd3 protein in the regulation of gene expression, mRNA profiling with RNA-seq was performed in a model of magnesium deficiency-induced epileptiform discharges in vitro. Mbd3 overexpression in vitro induced changes in gene expression in a time- and state-specific manner. Our data indicate the pro-epileptic properties of the Mbd3 protein in vivo and in vitro.

Project description:Maintenance of chromatin structure is essential to eukaryotic life; dysregulation is known to be causal for aberrant development and disease. The Mi-2/nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylase (NuRD) complex is a multiprotein machine proposed to regulate chromatin structure by nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation activities. We identified the localization of MBD3, a component of Mi-2/NuRD complex, in two breast cancer cell lines (MCF7 and MDA-MB-231) using ChIP-Seq. MBD3 showed cell-type specific localization with overlap across cell lines being less than 50%. MBD3 localized across gene bodies, peaking around the transcription start site (TSS). Contrary to existing models, MBD3 preferentially associated with CpG rich promoters marked by H3K4me3. These data suggest that MBD3, and by extension the Mi-2/NuRD complex, may have roles in fine tuning expression for active genes. These data represent an important first step in defining regulatory mechanisms by which Mi-2/NuRD complex controls chromatin structure and gene expression.

Project description:To obtain a comprehensive and quantitative view on MBD2 vs MBD3-NuRD complex stoichiometry, we performed biotin co-immunoprecipitations in Mbd3 KO ES cells expressing either biotin-tagged MBD2a or MBD3a and identified known NuRD complex members using label-free mass spectrometry (Supplementary Fig. 8b-c). We then calculated the intensity-based absolute quantification (iBAQ) values of the most predominant and statistically significant MBD-interacting proteins in both cell lines, which can be used to estimate the relative abundance. While we observe very similar complex composition between MBD2a-NuRD and MBD3a-NuRD, peptides shared between SALL1-4 proteins show a preferred interaction with the MBD2a-NuRD complex.

Project description:Two types of viruses are produced during the baculovirus life cycle: budded virus (BV) and occlusion-derived virus (ODV). A particular baculovirus protein, FP25K, is involved in the switch from BV to ODV production. Previously, FP25K from the model alphabaculovirus Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) was shown to traffic ODV envelope proteins. However, FP25K localization and the domains involved are inconclusive. Here we used a quantitative approach to study FP25K subcellular localization during infection using an AcMNPV bacmid virus that produces a functional AcMNPV FP25K-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion protein. During cell infection, FP25K-GFP localized primarily to the cytoplasm, particularly amorphous structures, with a small fraction being localized in the nucleus. To investigate the sequences involved in FP25K localization, an alignment of baculovirus FP25K sequences revealed that the N-terminal putative coiled-coil domain is present in all alphabaculoviruses but absent in betabaculoviruses. Structural prediction indicated a strong relatedness of AcMNPV FP25K to long interspersed element 1 (LINE-1) open reading frame 1 protein (ORF1p), which contains an N-terminal coiled-coil domain responsible for cytoplasmic retention. Point mutations and deletions of this domain lead to a change in AcMNPV FP25K localization from cytoplasmic to nuclear. The coiled-coil and C-terminal deletion viruses increased BV production. Furthermore, a betabaculovirus FP25K protein lacking this N-terminal coiled-coil domain localized predominantly to the nucleus and exhibited increased BV production. These data suggest that the acquisition of this N-terminal coiled-coil domain in FP25K is important for the evolution of alphabaculoviruses. Moreover, with the divergence of preocclusion nuclear membrane breakdown in betabaculoviruses and membrane integrity in alphabaculoviruses, this domain represents an alphabaculovirus adaptation for nuclear trafficking of occlusion-associated proteins. IMPORTANCE:Baculovirus infection produces two forms of viruses: BV and ODV. Manufacturing of ODV involves trafficking of envelope proteins to the inner nuclear membrane, mediated partly through the FP25K protein. Since FP25K is present in alpha-, beta-, and gammabaculoviruses, it is uncertain if this trafficking function is conserved. In this study, we looked at alpha- and betabaculovirus FP25K trafficking by its localization. Alphabaculovirus FP25K localized primarily to the cytoplasm, whereas betabaculovirus FP25K localized to the nucleus. We found that an N-terminal coiled-coil domain present in all alphabaculovirus FP25K proteins, but absent in betabaculovirus FP25K, was critical for alphabaculovirus FP25K cytoplasmic localization. We believe that this represents an evolutionary process that partly led to the gain of function of this N-terminal coiled-coil domain in alphabaculovirus FP25K to aid in nuclear trafficking of occlusion-associated proteins. Due to betabaculovirus breakdown of the nuclear membrane before occlusion, this function is not needed, and the domain was lost or never acquired.

Project description:UNLABELLED:Rotavirus (RV) nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) is a virulence factor that disrupts cellular Ca(2+) homeostasis and plays multiple roles regulating RV replication and the pathophysiology of RV-induced diarrhea. Although its native oligomeric state is unclear, crystallographic studies of the coiled-coil domain (CCD) of NSP4 from two different strains suggest that it functions as a tetramer or a pentamer. While the CCD of simian strain SA11 NSP4 forms a tetramer that binds Ca(2+) at its core, the CCD of human strain ST3 forms a pentamer lacking the bound Ca(2+) despite the residues (E120 and Q123) that coordinate Ca(2+) binding being conserved. In these previous studies, while the tetramer crystallized at neutral pH, the pentamer crystallized at low pH, suggesting that preference for a particular oligomeric state is pH dependent and that pH could influence Ca(2+) binding. Here, we sought to examine if the CCD of NSP4 from a single RV strain can exist in two oligomeric states regulated by Ca(2+) or pH. Biochemical, biophysical, and crystallographic studies show that while the CCD of SA11 NSP4 exhibits high-affinity binding to Ca(2+) at neutral pH and forms a tetramer, it does not bind Ca(2+) at low pH and forms a pentamer, and the transition from tetramer to pentamer is reversible with pH. Mutational analysis shows that Ca(2+) binding is necessary for the tetramer formation, as an E120A mutant forms a pentamer. We propose that the structural plasticity of NSP4 regulated by pH and Ca(2+) may form a basis for its pleiotropic functions during RV replication. IMPORTANCE:The nonstructural protein NSP4 of rotavirus is a multifunctional protein that plays an important role in virus replication, morphogenesis, and pathogenesis. Previous crystallography studies of the coiled-coil domain (CCD) of NSP4 from two different rotavirus strains showed two distinct oligomeric states, a Ca(2+)-bound tetrameric state and a Ca(2+)-free pentameric state. Whether NSP4 CCD from the same strain can exist in different oligomeric states and what factors might regulate its oligomeric preferences are not known. This study used a combination of biochemical, biophysical, and crystallography techniques and found that the NSP4 CCD can undergo a reversible transition from a Ca(2+)-bound tetramer to a Ca(2+)-free pentamer in response to changes in pH. From these studies, we hypothesize that this remarkable structural adaptability of the CCD forms a basis for the pleiotropic functional properties of NSP4.

Project description:Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) extracellular domain (ECD) are implicated in the development of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), which is a highly aggressive form of brain cancer. Of particular interest to GBM is the EGFR variant known as EGFRvIII, which is distinguished by an in-frame deletion of exons 2-7, which encode ECD residues 6-273. Included within the deleted region is an autoinhibitory tether, whose absence, alongside unique disulfide interactions within the truncated ECD, supports assembly of a constitutively active asymmetric kinase dimer. Previous studies have shown that the binding of growth factors to the ECD of wild-type EGFR leads to the formation of two distinct coiled coil dimers in the cytoplasmic juxtamembrane (JM) segment, whose identities correlate with the downstream phenotype. One coiled coil contains leucine residues at the interhelix interface (EGF-type), whereas the other contains charged and polar side chains (TGF-α-type). It has been proposed that growth-factor-dependent structural changes in the ECD and adjacent transmembrane helix are transduced into distinct JM coiled coils. Here, we show that, in the absence of this growth-factor-induced signal, the JM of EGFRvIII adopts both EGF-type and TGF-α-type structures, providing direct evidence for this hypothesis. These studies confirm that the signals that define JM coiled coil identity begin within the ECD, and support a model in which growth-factor-induced conformational changes are transmitted from the ECD through the transmembrane helix to favor different coiled coil isomers within the JM.

Project description:The X-ray crystal structure of a bovine antibody (BLV1H12) revealed a unique structure in its ultralong heavy chain complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3H) that folds into a solvent-exposed β-strand "stalk" fused to a disulfide crosslinked "knob" domain. We have substituted an antiparallel heterodimeric coiled-coil motif for the β-strand stalk in this antibody. The resulting antibody (Ab-coil) expresses in mammalian cells and has a stability similar to that of the parent bovine antibody. MS analysis of H-D exchange supports the coiled-coil structure of the substituted peptides. Substitution of the knob-domain of Ab-coil with bovine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (bGCSF) results in a stably expressed chimeric antibody, which proliferates mouse NFS-60 cells with a potency comparable to that of bGCSF. This work demonstrates the utility of this novel coiled-coil CDR3 motif as a means for generating stable, potent antibody fusion proteins with useful pharmacological properties.

Project description:Coiled-coil helix coiled-coil helix domain-containing protein 3 (ChChd3) is a mitochondrial inner membrane (IM) protein facing toward the intermembrane space (IMS). In the IMS, ChChd3 complexes with multiple proteins at the crista junctions and contact sites and plays a key role in maintaining crista integrity. ChChd3 is myristoylated at the N terminus and has a CHCH domain with twin CX(9)C motifs at its C terminus. The CHCH domain proteins are traditionally imported and trapped in the IMS by using a disulfide relay system mediated by Mia40 and Erv1. In this study, we systematically analyzed the role of the myristoylation and the CHCH domain in the import and mitochondrial localization of ChChd3. Based on our results, we predict that myristoylation promotes binding of ChChd3 to the outer membrane and that the CHCH domain translocates the protein across the outer membrane. By analysis of the CHCH domain cysteine mutants, we further show that they have distinct roles in binding to Mia40 in the IMS and proper folding of the protein. The transient disulfide-bonded intermediate with Mia40 is formed preferentially between the second cysteine in helix 1, Cys(193), and the active site cysteine in Mia40, Cys(55). Although each of the four cysteines is essential for folding of the protein and binding to mitofilin and Sam50, they are not involved in import. Together our results indicate that both the myristoylation and the CHCH domain are essential for the import and mitochondrial localization of ChChd3. Once imported, ChChd3 binds to Mia40 for further folding and assembly into macromolecular complexes.
