Engineering and exploiting synthetic allostery of NanoLuc luciferase

ABSTRACT: The ability to endow constitutively active proteins with synthetic allostery is a central objective of Synthetic Biology, mostly focused on the creation of protein biosensors – artificial sensing proteins with easily quantifiable outputs. Here we hypothesize that circular permutation of proteins increases the probability of functional coupling of new N- and C- terminal sequences with the active center of the protein through increased local structural disorder. We test this by constructing a synthetically allosteric version of circular permutated NanoLuc luciferase, activated through ligand-induced intramolecular non-covalent cyclisation. The developed biosensors cover a range of emission wavelengths and display sensitivity as low as 50 pM and dynamic range as high as 16-fold and could quantify their cognate ligand in human fluids such as saliva, serum and lysed blood. We apply hydrogen exchange kinetic mass spectrometry to analyze time resolved structural changes in the developed biosensors and observed ligand-mediated folding of newly created termini. While a large study is required for determining how frequent synthetic allostery emerges following circular permutation and what types of protein folds are susceptible to it, this study provides motivation and justification for such efforts.

Unravelling the mechanism of neurotensin recognition by neurotensin receptor 1

Project description:The conformational ensembles of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) include inactive and active states. Spectroscopy techniques, including NMR, show that agonists, antagonists and other ligands shift the ensemble toward specific states depending on the pharmacological efficacy of the ligand. How receptors recognize ligands and the kinetic mechanism underlying this population shift is poorly understood. Here, we investigate the kinetic mechanism of neurotensin recognition by neurotensin receptor 1 (NTS1) using 19F-NMR, hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry and stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy. Our results indicate slow-exchanging conformational heterogeneity on the extracellular surface of ligand-bound NTS1. Numerical analysis of the kinetic data of neurotensin binding to NTS1 shows that ligand recognition follows an induced fit mechanism, in which conformational changes occur after neurotensin binding. This approach is applicable to other GPCRs to provide insight into the kinetic regulation of ligand recognition by GPCRs.

Selective modulation of nuclear receptor LRH-1 through target-ing buried and surface regions of the binding pocket

Project description:Liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1) is a phospholipid-sensing nuclear receptor that has shown promise as a target for alleviat-ing intestinal inflammation and disease states characterized by metabolic dysregulation in the liver. LRH-1 contains an unu-sually large ligand binding pocket, and generating synthetic modulators has been challenging. Leveraging a hexahydropen-talene (6HP) core, we have had recent success in generating potent and efficacious agonists through two distinct strategies. We targeted residues deep within the pocket to enhance compound binding, while residues at the mouth of the pocket were targeted to mimic interactions made by endogenous phospholipids. Here, we unite these two designs into one hybrid mole-cule that is the most potent LRH-1 agonist to date. Through a combination of global transcriptomic, biochemical, and struc-tural studies, we show that selective modulation can be driven through contacting deep vs. surface polar regions in the pock-et. While deep pocket contacts convey high-affinity, contacts with the pocket mouth dominate allostery and provide a phos-pholipid-like transcriptional response in cultured cells.

Ligand binding and conformational dynamics of the E. coli nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase revealed by hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry

Project description:Nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenases are integral membrane proteins that utilizes the proton motive force to reduce NADP+ to NADPH while converting NADH to NAD+. Atomic structures of various transhydrogenases in different ligand-bound states have become available, and it is clear that the molecular mechanism involves major conformational changes. Here we utilized hydrogen-deuterium-exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) to map ligand binding sites and analyzed the structural dynamics of E. coli transhydrogenase. We found different allosteric effects on the protein depending on the bound ligand (NAD+, NADH, NADP+, NADPH). The binding of either NADP+ or NADPH to domain III had pronounced effects on the transmembrane helices comprising the proton-conducting channel in domain II. We also made use of cyclic ion mobility separation mass spectrometry (cyclic IMS-MS) to maximize coverage and sensitivity in the transmembrane domain, showing for the first time that this technique can be used for HDX-MS studies. Using cyclic IMS-MS, we increased sequence coverage from 68% to 73% in the transmembrane segments. Taken together, our results provide important new insights into the transhydrogenase reaction cycle and demonstrate the benefit of this new technique for HDX-MS to study ligand binding and conformational dynamics in membrane proteins.

Interaction of human eIF5A and DHS K329A variant studied by HDX-MS

Project description:Hypusination is a unique post-translational modification of the eukaryotic translation factor 5A (eIF5A) that is essential for overcoming ribosome stalling at polyproline sequence stretches. The initial step of hypusination, the formation of deoxyhypusine, is catalyzed by deoxyhypusine synthase (DHS), however, the molecular details of the DHS-mediated reaction remained elusive. Recently, patient-derived variants of DHS and eIF5A have been linked to rare neurodevelopmental disorders. Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of the human eIF5A-DHS complex at 2.8Å resolution and a crystal structure of DHS trapped in the key reaction transition state. Furthermore, we show that disease-associated DHS variants influence the complex formation and hypusination efficiency. Hence, our work dissects the molecular details of the deoxyhypusine synthesis reaction and reveals how clinically-relevant mutations affect this crucial cellular process.

Assessing the dynamics and macromolecular interactions of the intrinsically disordered protein YY1

Project description:YY1 is a ubiquitously expressed, intrinsically disordered transcription factor involved in neural development. The oligomeric state of YY1 varies depending on the environment. These changes may alter its DNA binding ability and hence its transcriptional activity. In addition to its oligomeric state, the interaction of YY1 with proteins such as FOXP2 can impact its role in transcription. The aim of this work is to study the structure and dynamics of YY1 binding to DNA and to determine the influence of oligomerisation and associations with FOXP2 on its DNA binding mechanism. Size exclusion chromatography, fluorescence anisotropy and electrophoretic mobility shift assays were used to study YY1 oligomerisation and interaction with FOXP2. To better understand potential structural changes to YY1 upon DNA binding, hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry was used. The results indicate that YY1 consists of specific structured regions, while most of the sequence remains disordered. Furthermore, the oligomeric nature of the protein is dependent on ionic strength. DNA affects oligomerisation and the protein undergoes changes in structure and dynamics upon DNA binding. YY1 and FOXP2 were found to interact with each other both in isolation and in the presence of YY1-specific DNA. The heterogeneous, dynamic multimerisation of YY1 identified in this work is, therefore, likely to be important for its ability to make heterologous associations with other proteins such as FOXP2. The interactions that YY1 forms with itself, FOXP2 and DNA form part of an intricate mechanism of transcriptional regulation by YY1, which is vital for appropriate neural development.

Characterization of m-lipin using HDX-MS

Project description:This project consists of two experiments. The first is mapping the binding interface between the isolated m-lip domain of mouse lipin and liposomes. The second experiments is mapping the binding interface between full length mouse lipin and liposomes. Looking at the isolated m-lip domain, we found that residues 470-490 and 500-550 showed decreases in exchange upon liposome binding. The full-length lipin experiment saw decreases in exchnage in these same regions, as well as in the very C-terminus and very N-terminus regions of the protein. An order-disorder experiment was done on full length lipin where the protein was exposed to a short pulse of deuterium and compared to the fully-deuterated protein. In this instance, we established that the majority of the protein is relatively disordered and does not have secondary structure with high stability

Eukaryotic Ribosome GCN2 interaction Hydrogen/Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry

Project description:General control nonderepressible 2 (GCN2) phosphorylates eIF2α, regulating translation in response to nutritional stress. Here, we show that mammalian ribosomes are potent GCN2 activators. Hydrogen/deuterium exchange–mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) showed GCN2 interacting with domain II of the uL10 P-stalk protein. The P-stalk is a uL10/P12/P22 pentameric complex that is part of the ribosomal GTPase-associated center. Recombinant human P-stalk greatly stimulates GCN2. Both domain II of uL10 and the C-terminal tails of P1 and P2 are necessary for maximal GCN2 activation. On actively translating ribosomes, the C-terminal tails of P1 and P2 are sequestered by elongation factors, suggesting P-stalk availability could link translational stress to GCN2 activation.
