Architecture of the MKK6-p38α complex defines the basis of MAPK specificity and activation

ABSTRACT: The MAP kinase p38α is a central component of signalling in inflammation and the immune response, and is therefore an important drug target. Little is known about the molecular mechanism of its activation by double-phosphorylation from MAP2Ks, due to the challenge of trapping a transient and dynamic hetero-kinase complex. Here, we applied a multidisciplinary approach to generate the first structure of p38α in complex with its MAP2K MKK6 and understand the activation mechanism. Integrating cryo-EM with MD simulations and in cellulo experiments, we demonstrate a dynamic, multi-step, phosphorylation mechanism, reveal new catalytically relevant interactions, and show that MAP2K disordered N-termini determine pathway specificity. Our work captures, for the first time, a fundamental step of cell signalling: a kinase phosphorylating its downstream target kinase

A GAF domain mediates inositol pyrophosphate substrate channeling in PPIP5K phosphatases

Project description:Inositol pyrophosphates are highly phosphorylated nutrient messengers. The final step of their biosynthesis is catalyzed by diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate kinase (PPIP5K) enzymes, which are conserved among fungi, plants, and animals. PPIP5Ks contain an N-terminal kinase domain that generates the active messenger 1,5-InsP8 and a C-terminal phosphatase domain that participates in PP-InsP catabolism. The balance between kinase and phosphatase activities controls the cellular levels and signaling capacity of 1,5- InsP8. Here, we present crystal structures of the apo and substrate-bound Vip1 phosphatase domain from S. cerevisiae (ScVip1PD). ScVip1PD is a phytase-like inositol 1-pyrophosphate phosphatase with two conserved histidine phosphatase catalytic motifs. The enzyme has a strong preference for 1,5-InsP8 and is inhibited by inorganic phosphate. ScVip1PD has an α-helical insertion domain stabilized by a structural Zn2+ binding site, and a unique GAF domain that exists in an open and closed state, allowing channeling of the 1,5-InsP 8 substrate to the active site. Mutations that alter the active site, that restrict the movement of the GAF domain or that modify the charge of the substrate channel significantly inhibit the activity of the yeast enzyme in vitro, and the function of the Arabidopsis PPIP5K VIH2 in planta. Structural analyses of full-length PPIP5Ks suggest that the kinase and phosphatase are independent enzymatic modules. Taken together, our work reveals the structure, enzymatic mechanism and regulation of eukaryotic PPIP5K phosphatases

Autoregulation of tubulin mRNA via reversible TTC5 sequestration by soluble ab-tubulins

Project description:Microtubule cytoskeleton, built from heterodimers of α and β-tubulins, is critically important to physically organize cells, mediate intracellular transport and power cell division. The availability of soluble αβ-tubulins influences the biomechanical properties and functions of microtubules. When present in excess, soluble αβ-tubulins induce degradation of their encoding mRNAs. This process involves the activation of a specificity factor TTC5, which recognizes nascent tubulins and recruits effectors that degrade the mRNA. But how TTC5 activity is regulated is unknown. Our biochemical and structural proteomic approaches reveal that soluble αβ-tubulins at steady-state levels sequester TTC5, repressing its activity. The carboxy-terminal domain of TTC5 acts as a molecular switch, toggling between soluble αβ-tubulin-bound and nascent tubulin-bound states. Loss of sequestration by soluble αβ-tubulins constitutively activates TTC5, leading to diminished tubulin mRNA levels and compromised microtubule-dependent chromosome segregation during cell division. Our findings provide a paradigm for how cells regulate the activity of a specificity factor to adapt posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression to cellular needs.

Structural and regulatory insights into the glideosome-associated connector from Toxoplasma gondii

Project description:The phylum of Apicomplexa groups intracellular parasites that employ substrate-dependent gliding motility to invade host cells, egress from the infected cells and cross biological barriers. The glideosome associated connector (GAC) is a conserved protein essential to this process. GAC facilitates the association of actin filaments with surface transmembrane adhesins and the efficient transmission of the force generated by myosin translocation of actin to the cell surface substrate. Here, we present the crystal structure of Toxoplasma gondii GAC and reveal a unique, supercoiled armadillo repeat region that adopts a closed ring conformation. Characterisation of the membrane binding interface within the C-terminal PH domain as well as an N-terminal fragment necessary for association with F-actin suggest that GAC adopts multiple conformations. A multi-conformational model for assembly of GAC within the glideosome is proposed

An inhibitory segment within G-patch activators tunes Prp43-ATPase activity during ribosome assembly

Project description:Mechanisms by which G-patch activators tune the processive multi-tasking ATP-dependent RNA helicase Prp43 to remodel diverse RNA:protein complexes remain elusive. Here, a comparative study between a new activator, Tma23, and a characterized activator, Pxr1, uncovered segments that organize Prp43 function during ribosome assembly. In addition to the activating G-patch, we discovered an inhibitory segment within Tma23 and Pxr1, I-patch, that restrains Prp43-ATPase activity. Cryo-electron microscopy and hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry show how I-patch binds to the catalytic RecA-like domains to allosterically inhibit Prp43-ATPase activity. Tma23 and Pxr1 also contain a dimerization segment which organizes Prp43 into higher-order complexes. We posit that Prp43 function at discrete locations on pre-ribosomal RNA are coordinated through toggling interactions with G-patch and I-patch motifs. This could guarantee measured and timely Prp43 activation, enabling precise control over multiple RNA remodeling events occurring concurrently during ribosome formation.

Structure of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110-p101 complex reveals molecular mechanism of GPCR activation

Project description:The class IB phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), PI3K, is a master regulator of immune cell function, and is a promising drug target for both inflammatory diseases and cancer. Critical to PI3K function is the association of the p110 catalytic subunit to either a p101 or p84 regulatory subunit, which mediates regulation by G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Here, we report the first structure of a heterodimeric PI3K complex, p110-p101. This structure revealed a unique mode of assembly of catalytic and regulatory subunits distinct from that of other class I PI3K complexes. Multiple oncogenic mutations mapped to these novel interfaces led to increased activation by G. p101 mediates activation through its G binding domain, recruiting the complex to the membrane and allowing for engagement of a secondary site in p110. A nanobody that specifically binds to this p101-G interface blocks activation providing a novel tool to study p101-specific signaling events in vivo.

The structural basis of the multi-step allosteric activation of Aurora B kinase

Project description:Aurora B, together with IN-box, the C-terminal part of INCENP, forms an enzymatic complex that ensures faithful cell division. The [Aurora B/IN-box] complex is activated by autophosphorylation in the Aurora B activation loop and in IN-box, but it is not clear how these phosphorylations activate the enzyme. We used a combination of experimental and computational studies to investigate the effects of phosphorylation on the molecular dynamics and structure of [Aurora B/IN-box]. In addition, we generated partially phosphorylated intermediates to analyze the contribution of each phosphorylation independently. We found that the dynamics of Aurora and IN-box are interconnected, and IN-box plays both positive and negative regulatory roles depending on the phosphorylation status of the enzyme complex. Phosphorylation in the activation loop of Aurora B occurs intramolecularly and prepares the enzyme complex for activation, but two phosphorylated sites are synergistically responsible for full enzyme activity.

The HisRS-like domain of GCN2 is a pseudoenzyme that can bind uncharged tRNA - HX-MS Data

Project description:GCN2 is a stress response kinase that phosphorylates the translation initiation factor eIF2to inhibit general protein synthesis when activated by uncharged tRNA and stalled ribosomes. The presence of a HisRS-like domain in GCN2, normally associated with the ability to bind and aminoacylate tRNAs, led to the hypothesis that eIF2 kinase activity is regulated by the direct binding of this domain to uncharged tRNA. Here we solved the structure of the HisRS-like domain in the context of full-length GCN2 by cryoEM. Structure and function analysis shows the HisRS-like domain of GCN2 has lost tRNA charging, ATP binding, and histidine binding activity but retains the ability to bind tRNA. Hydrogen deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HX-MS), site-directed mutagenesis and computational docking experiments support a tRNA binding model that overlaps with but is partially shifted from that employed by bona fide HisRS enzymes. These results demonstrate that the HisRS-like domain of GCN2 is a pseudoenzyme and advance our understanding of GCN2 regulation and function.

HDX analysis of PI3K oncogenic mutants

Project description:We used Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry (HDX-MS) to examine the dynamic structural changes caused by oncogenic mutations. We performed HDX-MS comparing the full-length complex against the catalytic core which suggest that addition of pY leads to mixed two state population where the state 1 consists of iSH2 bound p110α and the state 2 consists of p110α where the iSH2 is completely disengaged.Therefore, we propose that the non-kinase domain mutations push the equilibrium towards state 2 leading to enhanced enzyme activity.We also propose that the kinase domain mutations lead to the re-orientation of the c-terminal tail leading to exposure of the activation loop and enhanced membrane binding.
