Crosslinking/mass spectrometry analysis of Bacillus subtilis RNAP-Delta-HelD complexes

ABSTRACT: Crosslinking mass spectrometry was applied to investigate protein contacts and dramatic structural rearrangements triggered by HelD binding to RNAP. Four complexes RNAPΔδΔHelD , RNAPΔδΔHelD-δ, RNAPΔδΔHelD-HelD and RNAPΔδΔHelD-δ-HelD were assembled using RNAP purified from B. subtilis ΔhelDΔropE strain (RNAPΔδΔHelD), and recombinant δ and HelD. The four complexes were crosslinked using a heterobifunctional, photoactivatable crosslinker sulfosuccinimidyl 4,4′‐azipentanoate (sulfo-SDA). Crosslinked protein complexes were analyzed by LC-MS/MS, and crosslinked residue pairs were identified in form of crosslinked peptides.

Cellular RNA polymerases (RNAPs) can become trapped on DNA or RNA, threatening genome stability and limiting free enzyme pools, but how RNAP recycling into active states is achieved remains elusive. In Bacillus subtilis, the RNAP δ subunit and NTPase HelD have been implicated in RNAP recycling. We structurally analyzed Bacillus subtilis RNAP-δ-HelD complexes. HelD has two long arms: a Gre cleavage factor-like coiled-coil inserts deep into the RNAP secondary channel, dismantling the active site a ...[more]

Project description:[NiFe]-hydrogenases catalyse the reversible splitting of hydrogen. The catalytic metal centre (NiFe(CN)2CO) is unique in biology, and assembled by an intricate protein machinery, in a process that is still being explored. We hypothesised a structural, ATP-dependent, mechanistic explanation for the assembly of the Fe(CN)2CO fragment via the HypCD complex. We carried out a crosslinking mass spectrometry (crosslinking MS) analysis to study the structure of the HypCD complex, both with (holoprotein) and without (apoprotein) the metal cofactor, and both with and without the addition of ATP. We used the UV-photoactivatable crosslinking reagent sulfo-SDA, which has been shown to have excellent performance when studying dynamic and flexible protein complexes. For photoactivation we used a high-powered LED which enabled the use of exceptionally short reaction times (20 seconds) and gave strikingly clear results. From the resulting crosslinked residue pair patterns identified, we were able to unambiguously distinguish between holoprotein with and without ATP. Crosslinks found in holoprotein, in the absence of ATP, suggested a “closed” protein conformation. When the HypCD holoprotein was crosslinked in the presence of ATP, two distinct crosslink bands were almost entirely absent, indicating that the protein conformation had shifted to an “open” conformation. Interestingly, no shift in protein conformation was evident in the crosslinked apoprotein, which implied that the cofactor was central to protein conformational dynamics. Crosslinking MS data helped to explain, and was in agreement with, protein structures predicted by AlphaFold2 (which were subsequently refined by density functional theory (DFT) modeling for placing the cofactor). Considering all the experimental data from this study led to the conclusion that the binding of ATP alone, not its hydrolysis, is required for the transfer of the Fe(CN)2CO fragment to the apo-hydrogenase large subunit.
