Insight into the structure of the “unstructured” tau protein

ABSTRACT: Here, we apply a recently-developed approach for de novo protein structure determination based on the incorporation of short-distance crosslinking data as constraints in discrete molecular dynamics simulations (CL-DMD), for the determination of the conformational ensemble of tau protein in solution. The predicted structure may facilitate an understanding of the misfolding and oligomerization pathways of the tau protein.

Phosphorylation Increases Persistence Length and End-to-End Distance of a Segment of Tau Protein.

Chin Alexander F AF Toptygin Dmitri D Elam W Austin WA Schrank Travis P TP Hilser Vincent J VJ

Biophysical journal 20160101 2

Intrinsically disordered regions of proteins, which lack unique tertiary structure under physiological conditions, are enriched in phosphorylation sites and in significant local bias toward the polyproline II conformation. The overrepresented coincidence of this posttranslational regulatory signal and local conformational bias within unstructured regions raises a question: can phosphorylation serve to manipulate the conformational preferences of a disordered protein? In this study, we use time-r ...[more]

Ligand-induced disorder-to-order transitions characterized by structural proteomics and molecular dynamics simulations

Project description:We have studied both the Spy and the FKBP protein-ligand systems by structural proteomics and molecular -dynamics simulations. We have used hydrogen/deuterium exchange, differential crosslinking, and surface modification to characterize the conformational changes that occur upon both peptide binding (Im7 with Spy) and small molecule binding (rapamycin with FKBP) to the protein. We have shown that, in both cases, the proteins are considerably disordered but their structures are different from the unfolded structure obtained with 8M urea in solution, and both proteins undergo a dramatic increase in secondary structure content upon ligand binding.

Are Mouse Models a surrogate for human disease? A temporal, quantitative and molecular perspective.

Project description:It is unclear to what extent Tau molecular pathology in murine models reflect human Tauopathies. Nevertheless, mouse models that overexpress human mutant Tau (P301S and P301L) are widely used in studies of Tauopathies and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). In this study, we perform an in-depth temporally and spatially resolved mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of P301S (hTau.P301S) and P301L (rTg(tauP301L)4510) mice as well as human patients with AD or frontotemporal dementia due to the P301L mutation, to identify differences and similarities between human AD, animal models and human P301L patients. Both mouse models and human P301L patients show progressive Tau accumulation driven by Tau phosphorylation during disease progression as also observed in early human AD. However, Tau ubiquitination and acetylation, important in human AD, are less or not represented in the mouse models or in P301L patients. Our analyses provide guidance regarding designing mechanistic studies and testing of Tau directed therapeutics.

Combinatorial native MS and LC-MS/MS approach reveals high intrinsic phosphorylation of human Tau

Project description:Abnormal changes in the neuronal microtubule-associated protein Tau, such as high phosphorylation and aggregation, are considered hallmarks of cognitive deficits in Alzheimer disease. Abnormal phosphorylation is thought to take place before aggregation, and therefore it is often assumed that phosphorylation predisposes Tau towards aggregation. However, the nature and extent of phosphorylation has remained ill-defined. Tau protein contains up to 85 potential phosphorylation sites (80 Ser/Thr, and 5 Tyr P-sites), many of which can be phosphorylated by various kinases because the unfolded structure of Tau makes them accessible. However, limitations in methods (e.g. in mass spectrometry of phosphorylated peptides, or antibodies against phospho-epitopes) have led to conflicting results regarding the overall degree of phosphorylation of Tau in cells. Here we present results from a new approach, that is based on native mass spectrometry analysis of intact Tau expressed in a eukaryotic cell system (Sf9) which reveals Tau in different phosphorylation states. The extent of phosphorylation is remarkably heterogeneous with up to ~20 phosphates (Pi) per molecule and distributed over 51 sites (including all P-sites published so far and additional 18 P-sites). The medium phosphorylated fraction Pm showed overall occupancies centered at 8 Pi (± 5 Pi) with a bell-shaped distribution, the highly phosphorylated fraction Ph had 14 Pi (± 6 Pi). The distribution of sites was remarkably asymmetric (with 71% of all P-sites located in the C-terminal half of Tau). All phosphorylation sites were on Ser or Thr residues, but none on Tyr. Other known posttranslational modifications of Tau were near or below our detection limit (e.g. acetylation, ubiquitination).

XL-MS of 5S RNP preribosomal complexes

Project description:The 5S RNP is assembled from its three components (5S rRNA, Rpl5/uL18, and Rpl11/uL5) before being incorporated into the pre-60S subunit. However, when ribosome synthesis is disturbed, a free 5S RNP can enter the MDM2–p53 pathway to regulate cell cycle and apoptotic signaling. Here we reconstitute and determine the cryo-EM structure of the conserved hexameric 5S RNP with fungal or human factors. This reveals how the nascent 5S rRNA associates with the initial nuclear import complex Syo1–uL18–uL5, and upon further recruitment of two nucleolar factors Rpf2–Rrs1 develops into the 5S RNP precursor that can assemble into the pre-ribosome. In addition, we elucidate the structure of another 5S RNP intermediate, carrying the human ubiquitin ligase Mdm2, which unraveled how this enzyme can be sequestered from its target substrate p53. Our data provide molecular insight into how the 5S RNP can mediate between ribosome biogenesis and cell proliferation.

Integrative Threading of the DNA-PKcs Disordered Region with Crosslinking Restraints

Project description:Integrative structure modelling was applied to understand how auto-phosphorylation of the ABCDE cluster in DNA-PKcs can occur. We used crosslinking restraints to assign sequence to structurally unassigned helices in DNA-PKcs s in the largely disordered region containing the ABCDE cluster. Our final model positions the ABCDE cluster at the end of the second helices, suggesting that phosphorylation occurs through trans-auto-phosphorylation, or through a large conformational change in the disordered region for cis-auto-phosphorylation.

Structural dynamics of the E6AP/UBE3A-E6-p53 enzyme-substrate complex

Project description:Deregulation of the ubiquitin ligase E6AP is causally linked to the development of human disease, including cervical cancer. In complex with the E6 oncoprotein of human papillomaviruses, E6AP targets the tumor suppressor p53 for degradation, thereby contributing to carcinogenesis. Moreover, E6 acts as a potent activator of E6AP by a yet unknown mechanism. However, structural information explaining how the E6AP-E6-p53 enzyme-substrate complex is assembled, and how E6 stimulates E6AP, is largely missing. We therefore developed and applied different approaches in structural mass spectrometry to show that binding of E6 induces conformational rearrangements in E6AP, which result in the positioning of E6 and p53 in the immediate vicinity of the catalytic centre of E6AP. Our data provides structural and functional insights into the dynamics of the full-length E6AP-E6-p53 enzyme-substrate complex and reveals how E6 can both stimulate the ubiquitin ligase activity of E6AP and facilitate the transfer of ubiquitin from E6AP onto p53.

To decipher an overall structure of a bacterial anti-plasmid defense system using cross-linking mass spectrometry.

Project description:The submitted data is from a BS3 crosslinked sample. The anti-plasmid defense system complex constitutes JetA, JetB, JetC, and JetD subunits. In this work, these four subunits were mixed to form a holo-subunit complex which was followed by crosslinking with isotopically/non-isotopically (1:1) mixture of BS3 reagent. The interactin subunit crosslinks were identified and this information was integrated with alphafold2 enabled models to construct an overall picture of a highly dynamic complex assembly

Architecture of the yeast Elongator complex

Project description:The highly conserved eukaryotic Elongator complex performs specific chemical modifications on wobble base uridines of tRNAs, which are essential for proteome stability and homeostasis. The complex is formed by six individual subunits (Elp1-6) that are all equally important for its tRNA modification activity. However, its overall architecture and the detailed reaction mechanism remain elusive. Here, we report the structures of the fully assembled yeast Elongator and the Elp123 sub-complex solved by an integrative structure determination approach showing that two copies of the Elp1, Elp2 and Elp3 subunits form a two-lobed scaffold, which binds Elp456 asymmetrically. Our topological models are consistent with previous studies on individual subunits and further validated by complementary biochemical analyses. Our study provides a structural framework on how the tRNA modification activity is carried out by Elongator.

Transcription factor cooperativity in early adipogenic hotspots and super-enhancers

Project description:Here we have used a combination of advanced proteomics and genomics approaches to investigate the extent and mechanisms of transcription factor cross-talk at genomic hotspots. We identify ~12,000 transcription factor hotspots in the early phase of adipogenesis, and we find evidence of both simultaneous and sequential binding of transcription factors at these regions. We demonstrate for the first time that hotspots are highly enriched in large super-enhancer regions and that these drive the early adipogenic reprogramming of gene expression. Our results indicate that cooperativity between transcription factors at the level of hotspots as well as super-enhancers is very important for enhancer activity and transcriptional reprogramming. Thus, hotspots and super-enhancers constitute important regulatory hubs integrating external stimuli on chromatin. Genome-wide profiling of transcription factor and co-factor binding, epigenomic marks, and gene expression in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes.
