Evidence for a ‘trap-and-flip’ mechanism in a proton-dependent lipid transporter

ABSTRACT: Lipid transporters from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) have been reported to play central roles in diverse fundamental biological pathways. However, little is known about their transport mechanisms and only the structure of the MFS lipid transporter LtaA in an outward-facing conformation has been determined. LtaA was shown to be a proton-dependent lipid transporter, essential for anchoring of lipoteichoic acids (LTA) to the plasma membrane of the pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Here we used a ‘repeat swap’ approach in combination with cross-linking analysis to predict an inward-facing state of LtaA, performed molecular dynamics simulations, in vitro and in vivo activity assays, and mutagenesis analysis to characterize outward- and inward-facing conformations of LtaA in lipid membranes. Our results indicate that LtaA catalyze lipid translocation by a “trap-and-flip” mechanism, paving the way for the mechanistic characterization of other MFS lipid transporters.

Distinct dynamics upon substrate and inhibitor binding to a secondary transporter

Project description:The bacterial sugar transporter XylE is a proton-coupled symporter from the Major Facilitator Family (MFS) that has been crystalized in multiple conformations, and with both substrate xylose and inhibitor glucose bound. However, this series of static pictures does not capture the coupling between ligand binding and conformational changes required for transport. Furthermore, the ability for the transporter to discriminate between substrate and inhibitor is puzzling in light of the similarity of the bound structures. Here, we combine differential HDX-MS with mutagenesis and MD simulations to dissect the molecular mechanism of transport in XylE. We show that protonation of D27 is a key event for conformational transition from outward-facing (OF) to inward-facing (IF). Strikingly, this transition only occurs in the presence of substrate xylose, while inhibitor glucose locks the transporter in the OF state. We corroborate our experimental findings with MD simulations by showing that D27 protonation in the presence of xylose, but not glucose, leads to unstable substrate binding, increased solvent accessibility, and correlated motions between the N- and C- lobes of the transporter, effectively setting the transporter up for the conformational transition. Overall, we demonstrate the unique ability of HDX-MS to distinguish between the conformational dynamics of inhibitor and substrate binding to XylE and propose that the allosteric coupling between ligand binding and protonation is a key step to initiate transport.

Genome-wide analysis reveals positional-nucleosome-oriented binding pattern of pioneer factor FOXA1

Project description:By analysis of ChIP-exo of FOXA1 in LNCaP, we find that an astonishing genome-wide "well-positioned" configuration prevalently occurs between FOXA1 motif and the dyad of nucleosome. Here we performed ChIP-seq data of eight chromatin remodelers and found a higher occupancy of these remodelers on these well-positioned FOXA1 motif sites. Together, our results support a positional-nucleosome-oriented accessing model, in which FOXA1 can examine each underlying DNA nucleotide and be able to sense all potential motifs regardless if they face inward or outward to histone octamers along the DNA helix axis. We have performed ChIP-seq of eight chromatin remodeler factors.

cSTAR analysis identifies endothelial cell cycle as a key regulator of flow-dependent artery remodeling

Project description:Fluid shear stress (FSS) from blood flow sensed by vascular endothelial cells (ECs) determines vessel behavior but regulatory mechanisms are only partially understood. We used cell State Transition Assessment and Regulation (cSTAR), a powerful new computational method, to elucidate EC transcriptomic states under low shear stress (LSS), physiological shear stress (PSS), high shear stress (HSS), and oscillatory shear stress (OSS) that induce vessel inward remodeling, stabilization, outward remodeling or disease susceptibility, respectively. Combined with publicly available EC transcriptomic responses to drug treatments from the LINCS database, this approach inferred a regulatory network controlling EC states and made several novel predictions. Particularly, inhibiting cell cycle dependent kinase (CDK) 2 was predicted to initiate inward vessel remodeling and promote atherogenesis. In vitro, PSS activated CDK2 and induced late G1 cell cycle arrest. In mice, EC deletion of CDK2 triggered inward artery remodeling, pulmonary and systemic hypertension and accelerated atherosclerosis. These results validate use of cSTAR and identify key determinants of normal and pathological artery remodeling.

Outward-oriented sites within clustered CTCF boundaries are key for intraTAD chromatin interactions and gene regulation [4C-seq]

Project description:CTCF plays an important role in 3D genome organization by adjusting insulation at TAD boundaries, where clustered CBS (CTCF-binding site) elements are often arranged in tandem array with a complex divergent or convergent orientation. Here using cPcdh and HOXD loci as a paradigm, we look into the clustered CTCF TAD boundaries and find that, counterintuitively, outward-oriented CBS elements are crucial for inward enhancer-promoter interactions as well as for gene regulation. Specifically, by combinatorial deletions of a series of putative enhancer elements in vivo or CBS elements in vitro, in conjunction with chromosome conformation capture and RNA-seq analyses, we show that deletions of outward-oriented CBS elements weaken the strength of long-distance intraTAD promoter-enhancer interactions and enhancer activation of target genes. Our data highlight the crucial role of outward-oriented CBS elements within the clustered CTCF TAD boundaries and have interesting implications on the organization principles of clustered CTCF sites within TAD boundaries.

Structural insights into the catalytic cycle of a bacterial multidrug ABC efflux pump

Project description:ABC (“ATP-Binding Cassette”) exporters of the type IV subfamily gather transporters involved in the efflux of many compounds and notably those capable to confer multidrug resistance like the mammalian P-glycoprotein or the bacterial transporter BmrA. They function according to an alternating access mechanism between inward-facing (IF) and outward-facing (OF) conformations, but the extent of physical separation between the two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs) in different states is still unsettled. Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) and hydrogen/deuterium exchange coupled to mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) were used to highlight different conformational states of BmrA during its catalytic cycle. In particular, mutation of the invariant Lysine residue of the Walker-A motif (K380A) captures BmrA in an ATP-bound IF conformation prior to NBD closure. While in the transition-like state induced by vanadate, wild-type BmrA is mainly in an OF conformation, it and populates only IF conformations only in the presence of ADP/Mg. Importantly, in this post-hydrolytic step, distances between the two NBDs of BmrA appears to be more separated than in the apo state, but they remains shorter than in the widest opening found in the related MsbA transporter. Overall, our results highlight the main steps of the catalytic cycle of a homodimeric bacterial multidrug transporter and underline structural and functional commonalities as well as oddities among the type IV subfamily of ABC exporters.

Genotyping of S. aureus SH1000 transposon mutants to identify mutant positions

Project description:A library of transposon mutants were generated in S.aureus strain SH1000 using a custom Mariner transposon with an outward-facing T7 promoter. Genomic DNA was extracted from the library and digested with an appropriate restriction enzyme (AluI or RsaI). Labelled RNA run-offs were produced from the T7 promoter and hybridised to a tiling microarray to determine the position of the mutant. This was done using a library of a million S. aureus mutants, and genes not disrupted by a transposon were inferred to be essential for replication and growth in vitro.
