Functional cross-talk between allosteric effects of activating and inhibiting ligands underlies PKM2 regulation.

ABSTRACT: Allosteric regulation is central to the role of the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) in cancer metabolism. Multiple activating and inhibitory allosteric ligands regulate PKM2 activity by controlling the equilibrium between high activity tetramers and low activity dimers and monomers. However, how allosteric inputs from simultaneous binding of different ligands are integrated to regulate PKM2 activity remains elusive. Here, we show that, [PKM2 activation and tetramerisation can be uncoupled as] in the presence of the allosteric inhibitor phenylalanine (Phe), saturating amounts of the activator fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (F-1,6-bP) can induce PKM2 tetramerisation, but fail to maximally increase enzymatic activity. We use a new computational framework to identify residues that mediate FBP-induced allostery and show that, while mutation of A327 and C358 do not abrogate the ability of F-1,6-BP to increase PKM2 activity, it prevents Phe from interfering with it. Our findings demonstrate a role for residues involved in FBP allostery in enabling the integration of allosteric input from Phe and reveal an allosteric cross-talk that underlies the co-ordinate regulation of PKM2 activity by distinct allosteric ligands. The absolute amount of the isoforms of PKM (PKM1/2) were quantified in the cell lines of interested to inform the described model.

Several enzymes can simultaneously interact with multiple intracellular metabolites, however, how the allosteric effects of distinct ligands are integrated to coordinately control enzymatic activity remains poorly understood. We addressed this question using, as a model system, the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2). We show that the PKM2 activator fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) alone promotes tetramerisation and increases PKM2 activity, but addition of the inhibitor L-phenylalanine (P ...[more]

Project description:Allosteric communication between distant sites in proteins is central to nearly all biological regulation but still poorly characterised for most proteins, limiting conceptual understanding, biological engineering and allosteric drug development. Typically only a few allosteric sites are known in model proteins, but theoretical, evolutionary and some experimental studies suggest they may be much more widely distributed. An important reason why allostery remains poorly characterised is the lack of methods to systematically quantify long-range communication in diverse proteins. Here we address this shortcoming by developing a method that uses deep mutational scanning to comprehensively map the allosteric landscapes of protein interaction domains. The key concept of the approach is the use of ‘multidimensional mutagenesis’: mutational effects are quantified for multiple molecular phenotypes—here binding and protein abundance—and in multiple genetic backgrounds. This is an efficient experimental design that allows the underlying causal biophysical effects of mutations to be accurately inferred en masse by fitting thermodynamic models using neural networks. We apply the approach to two of the most common human protein interaction domains, an SH3 domain and a PDZ domain, to produce the first global atlases of allosteric mutations for any proteins. Allosteric mutations are widely dispersed with extensive long-range tuning of binding affinity and a large mutational target space of network-altering ‘edgetic’ variants. Mutations are more likely to be allosteric closer to binding interfaces, at Glycines in secondary structure elements and at particular sites including a chain of residues connecting to an opposite surface in the PDZ domain. This general approach of quantifying mutational effects for multiple molecular phenotypes and in multiple genetic backgrounds should allow the energetic and allosteric landscapes of many proteins to be rapidly and comprehensively mapped.
