Project description:Eukaryotic eIF5A and its bacterial orthologue EF-P are translation elongation factors whose task is to rescue ribosomes from stalling during the synthesis of proteins bearing particular sequences such as polyproline stretches. Both proteins are characterized by unique post-translational modifications, hypusination and lysinylation, respectively, which are essential for their function. An orthologue is present in all Archaea but its function is poorly understood. Here, we show that aIF5A of the crenarchaeum Sulfolobus solfataricus is hypusinated and forms a stable complex with deoxyhypusine synthase, the first enzyme of the hypusination pathway. The recombinant enzyme is able to modify its substrate in vitro resulting in deoxyhypusinated aIF5A. Moreover, with the aim to identify the enzyme involved in the second modification step, i.e. hypusination, a set of proteins interacting with aIF5A was identified.

Project description:The MerR family of transcriptional regulators are dimeric proteins with an N-terminal helix-turn-helix DNA binding domain (DBD), followed by an antiparallel coiled-coil subunit interaction region, and usually by a C-terminal effector binding domain (EBD). This family is distinguished by the high amino acid similarity in the DBD and low similarity in the EBD, consistent with the role of this domain in each protein in sensing effector molecules. Most members of the family are activators, and act at promoters with long spacer regions and respond to the binding of inducers by distorting the promoter DNA to allow open complex formation and transcriptional activation. In MerR proteins the EBD contains a metal binding pocket formed by three cysteines. This Cys center characteristic of MerR regulators is primarily suited for metal binding and mediates activation of metal detoxification systems in bacteria. Over the last decade, it has become clear that the MerR family of regulators is more diverse than originally recognized. The availability of completed bacterial genome sequences has enabled the search for additional types of MerR-like regulators. We here present a novel MerR-like transcription factor lacking an EBD involved in iron uptake regulation (MliR) present in the marine bacterium Bizionia argentinensis (JUB59). An in silico analysis revealed that homologues of the MliR protein are widely distributed among different bacterial species. Deletion of the mliR gene led to decreased cell growth, increased cell adhesion and filamentation. RNA sequencing analysis showed that expression of several iron uptake-related mRNAs were downregulated in mliR-deletion mutant. Through NMR-based metabolomics, ICP-MS, fluorescence microscopy and biochemical analysis we evaluated metabolic and phenotypic changes associated with mliR deletion. This work provides the first evidence of a MerR-family regulator involved in iron uptake and contributes to expanding our current knowledge on iron metabolism.in bacteria.

Project description:Purpose: To identify the genome binding sites of Cren7 and Sso7D, and to determine whether binding patterns differ between wild type and an epigenetically evolved strain in which they are heritably hypomethylated. Because methylated residues were solvent facing, it was predicted that binding patterns would not change between the strains. Methods: Chromosomal fragments 300-500bp long were immunoprecipitated in triplicate using polyclonal antibody serum for Cren7 or Sso7D and sequenced using Illumina Hiseq. Results: Cren7 and Sso7D had distinct binding patterns. ChIPseq peak patterns had slight variation between wild type and the evolved strain, but not at genes whose expression was thought to be epigentically dependent. Conclusions: As predicted, neither binding location or binding affinity correlated with epigenetic expression patterns in the evolved strain.

Project description:SSO1273 of Sulfolobus solfataricus was identified as a cell surface-bound protein by a proteomics approach. Sequence inspection of the genome revealed that the open reading frame of sso1273 is associated in an operon-like structure with genes encoding all the remaining components of a canonical protein-dependent ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. sso1273 gene expression and SSO1273 protein accumulation on the cell surface were demonstrated to be strongly induced by the addition of a peptide mixture (tryptone) to the culture medium. The native protein was obtained in multimeric form, mostly hexameric, under the purification conditions used, and it was characterized as an oligopeptide binding protein, named S. solfataricus OppA (OppA(Ss)). OppaA(Ss) possesses typical sequence patterns required for glycosylphosphatidylinositol lipid anchoring, resulting in an N-linked glycoprotein with carbohydrate moieties likely composed of high mannose and/or hybrid complex carbohydrates. OppA(Ss) specifically binds oligopeptides and shows a marked selectivity for the amino acid composition of substrates when assayed in complex peptide mixtures. Moreover, a truncated version of OppA(Ss), produced in recombinant form and including the putative binding domain, showed a low but significant oligopeptide binding activity.

Project description:During translation initiation, the heterotrimeric archaeal translation initiation factor 2 (aIF2) recruits the initiator tRNAi to the small ribosomal subunit. In the stationary growth phase and/or during nutrient stress, Sulfolobus solfataricus aIF2 has a second function: It protects leaderless mRNAs against degradation by binding to their 5'-ends. The S. solfataricus protein Sso2509 is a translation recovery factor (Trf) that interacts with aIF2 and is responsible for the release of aIF2 from bound mRNAs, thereby enabling translation re-initiation. It is a member of the domain of unknown function 35 (DUF35) protein family and is conserved in Sulfolobales as well as in other archaea. Here, we present the X-ray structure of S. solfataricus Trf solved to a resolution of 1.65 Å. Trf is composed of an N-terminal rubredoxin-like domain containing a bound zinc ion and a C-terminal oligosaccharide/oligonucleotide binding fold domain. The Trf structure reveals putative mRNA binding sites in both domains. Surprisingly, the Trf protein is structurally but not sequentially very similar to proteins linked to acyl-CoA utilization-for example, the Sso2064 protein from S. solfataricus-as well as to scaffold proteins found in the acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase/high-mobility group-CoA synthase complex of the archaeon Methanothermococcus thermolithotrophicus and in a steroid side-chain-cleaving aldolase complex from the bacterium Thermomonospora curvata. This suggests that members of the DUF35 protein family are able to act as scaffolding and binding proteins in a wide variety of biological processes.

Project description:Where there is life, there are viruses. The impact of viruses on evolution, global nutrient cycling, and disease has driven research on their cellular and molecular biology. Knowledge exists for a wide range of viruses; however, a major exception are viruses with archaeal hosts. Archaeal virus-host systems are of great interest because they have similarities to both eukaryotic and bacterial systems and often live in extreme environments. Here we report the first proteomics-based experiments on archaeal host response to viral infection. Sulfolobus Turreted Icosahedral Virus (STIV) infection of Sulfolobus solfataricus P2 was studied using 1D and 2D differential gel electrophoresis (DIGE) to measure abundance and redox changes. Cysteine reactivity was measured using novel fluorescent zwitterionic chemical probes that, together with abundance changes, suggest that virus and host are both vying for control of redox status in the cells. Proteins from nearly 50% of the predicted viral open reading frames were found along with a new STIV protein with a homologue in STIV2. This study provides insight to features of viral replication novel to the archaea, makes strong connections to well-described mechanisms used by eukaryotic viruses such as ESCRT-III mediated transport, and emphasizes the complementary nature of different omics approaches.
