A BAG-1-inhibitory peptide, GO-Pep, suppresses c-Raf activity in cancer

ABSTRACT: Herein, we explore the druggability of BAG-1S (the smallest isoform) with a specific emphasis on its interaction with C-RAF. We firstly characterize the higher order structure of BAG-1S structure to determine druggable sites by HDX-MS. We then map the BAG-1S:c-Raf interface – identifying a 20 amino acid region likely to interact with c-Raf. Following which, we use mutational analysis of BAG-1S to show specific amino acids that disrupt the BAG-1S:c-Raf interaction, downstream signaling and cell growth. Finally, we develop a BAG-1S interacting peptide (from c-Raf) that disrupts BAG-1 protein:protein interactions (including C/B-RAF, CHIP and HSP70) and modified with a cell-penetrating motif which inhibits the growth of cancer cells with associated signaling inhibition and induction of apoptosis.

LptM promotes oxidative maturation of the lipopolysaccharide translocon by substrate binding mimicry.

Project description:Insertion of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is mediated by a druggable OM translocon consisting of a beta-barrel membrane protein, LptD, and a lipoprotein, LptE. The beta-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) assembles LptD together with LptE to form a plug-and-barrel structure. In the enterobacterium Escherichia coli, formation of two native disulfide bonds in LptD controls LPS translocon activation. Here we report the discovery of LptM (formerly YifL), a conserved lipoprotein that assembles together with LptD and LptE at the BAM complex. We demonstrate that LptM stabilizes a conformation of LptD that can efficiently acquire native disulfide bonds and be released as mature LPS translocon by the BAM complex. Inactivation of LptM causes the accumulation of non-natively oxidized LptD, making disulfide bond isomerization by DsbC become essential for viability. Our structural prediction and biochemical analyses indicate that LptM binds to sites in both LptD and LptE that are proposed to coordinate LPS insertion into the OM. These results suggest that, by mimicking LPS binding, LptM facilitates oxidative maturation of LptD, thereby activating the LPS translocon.

Ligand-induced shifts in conformational ensembles that predict transcriptional activation

Project description:Nuclear receptors function as ligand-regulated transcription factors whose ability to regulate diverse physiological processes is closely linked with conformational changes induced upon ligand binding. Understanding how conformational populations of nuclear receptors are shifted by various ligands could illuminate strategies for the design of synthetic modulators to regulate specific transcriptional programs. Here, we investigate ligand-induced conformational changes using a reconstructed, ancestral nuclear receptor. By making substitutions at a key position, we engineer receptor variants with altered ligand specificities. We use atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with enhanced sampling to generate ensembles of wildtype and engineered receptors in combination with multiple ligands, followed by conformational analysis and prediction of ligand activity. We combine cellular and biophysical experiments to allow correlation of MD-based predictions with functional ligand profiles, as well as elucidation of mechanisms underlying altered transcription in receptor variants. We determine that conformational ensembles accurately predict ligand responses based on observed population shifts, even within engineered receptors that were constitutively active or transcriptionally unresponsive in experiments. These studies provide a platform which will allow structural characterization of physiologically-relevant conformational ensembles, as well as provide the ability to design and predict transcriptional responses in novel ligands.

HDX-MS of CSN-CRL2 complexes - Structural basis of Cullin 2 RING E3 ligase regulation by the COP9 signalosome

Project description:Cullin-Ring E3 Ligases (CRLs) regulate a multitude of cellular pathways through specific substrate receptors. The COP9 signalosome (CSN) deactivates CRLs by removing NEDD8 (N8) from activated Cullins. The structure of stable CSN-CRL can be used to understand this mechanism of regulation. Here we present the first structures of the neddylated and deneddylated CSN-CRL2 complexes by combining single particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) with chemical cross-linking mass spectrometry (MS). These structures reveal a conserved mechanism of CSN activation, consisting of conformational clamping of the CRL2 substrate by CSN2/CSN4, release of the catalytic CSN5/CSN6 heterodimer and finally activation of the CSN5 deneddylation machinery. Using hydrogen deuterium exchange-MS we show that CRL2 binding and conformational activation of CSN5/CSN6 occur in a neddylation-independent manner. The presence of NEDD8 is required to activate the CSN5 active site. Overall, by synergising cryo-EM with MS, we identified novel sensory regions of the CSN that mediate its stepwise activation mechanism and provide a framework for better understanding the regulatory mechanism of other Cullin family members.

Structural dynamics in the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein: HDX-MS analysis of the spike of the original Wuhan isolate, G614 spike mutant, and the isolated ancestral RBD - in apo state and in complex with the ACE2 receptor

Project description:The spike glycoprotein of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mediates binding to the ACE2 receptor and subsequent membrane fusion. It exists in a range of conformations, including a closed state unable to bind the ACE2 receptor, and an open state that does so but displays more exposed antigenic surface. Spikes of variants of concern (VOCs) acquired amino acid changes linked to different opening probabilities, increased SARS-CoV-2 virulence and immune evasion. Here, using hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS), we analyzed the spike of the original Wuhan isolate, G614 mutant, spike of alpha, beta, delta and omicron VOCs and the isolated ancestral receptor binding domain (RBD) - in apo state and in complex with the ACE2 receptor. We identified changes in spike dynamics that we associated with the transition from closed to open conformation, to ACE2 binding, and to specific mutations in VOCs. We show that the RBD-associated subdomain plays a role in spike opening, whereas the NTD acts as a hotspot of conformational divergence of VOC spikes driving immune evasion. Alpha, beta and delta spikes assume predominantly open conformations and a strong ACE2 binding increases the dynamics of their core helices, priming spikes for fusion. Conversely, substitutions in omicron spike lead to predominantly binding-incompetent closed conformations, presumably enabling it to escape antibodies. At the same time, its core helices show characteristics of being pre-primed for fusion even in the absence of ACE2. These data inform on SARS-CoV-2 evolution and omicron variant emergence.

HDX-MS on secondary transporters

Project description:Secondary transporters undergo structural rearrangements to catalyze substrate translocation across the cell membrane – yet how such conformational changes happen within a lipid environment remains poorly understood. Here, we combine hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to understand how lipids regulate the conformational dynamics of secondary transporters at the molecular level. Using the homologous transporters XylE, LacY and GlpT from Escherichia coli as model systems, we discover that conserved networks of charged residues act as molecular switches that drive the conformational transition between different states. We reveal that these molecular switches are regulated by interactions with surrounding phospholipids and show that phosphatidylethanolamine interferes with the formation of the conserved networks and favors an inward-facing state. Overall, this work provides insights into the importance of lipids in shaping the conformational landscape of an important class of transporters.

The Conformational Stability of Pro-apoptotic BAX is Dictated by Discrete Residues of the Protein Core

Project description:BAX is a pro-apoptotic member of the BCL-2 family, which regulates the balance between cellular life and death. During homeostasis, BAX predominantly resides in the cytosol as a latent monomer but, in response to stress, transforms into an oligomeric protein that permeabilizes the mitochondria, leading to cell death. Because renegade BAX activation poses a grave risk to the cell, the architecture of BAX must ensure monomeric stability yet simultaneously enable conformational change upon stress signaling. The specific structural features that afford both stability and dynamic flexibility remain ill-defined and represent a critical control point of BAX regulation. Here, we identified a nexus of interactions involving four discrete residues of the BAX core α5 helix that are individually essential to maintaining the structure and latency of monomeric BAX and are collectively required for dimeric assembly. We compared the HDX MS profile of full-length recombinant wild-type BAX in solution with that of the BAX L113A, F114A, Y115A, and F116A single point mutants. In each case, we observed striking, regiospecific consequences of replacing the bulky hydrophobic residue with alanine. We also compared HDX in a construct of α2-α5 for the wt protein as well as mutants. The dual yet distinct roles of these residues reveals the intricacy of BAX conformational regulation and opportunities for therapeutic modulation.

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.

DnaK interaction and folding of firefly luciferase studied by hydrogen/deuterium exchange – mass spectrometry

Project description:The ATP-dependent chaperones of the Hsp70 class (DnaK in E. coli) function in protein folding in cooperation with J proteins and nucleotide exchange factors (DnaJ and GrpE in E. coli, respectively). Hsp70 prevents protein aggregation, increasing the folding yield, but whether it also enhances the rate of folding is unclear. Equilibrium hydrogen/deuterium exchange – mass spectrometry showed that DnaK stabilizes a poorly structured state of firefly luciferase (FLuc). Pulsed-label experiments, together with orthogonal analyses by spFRET, identified compact inter-domain misfolded states of FLuc that convert slowly to the native state. DnaK binding expands the misfolded region and thereby resolves the kinetically-trapped intermediates, with folding occurring upon GrpE-mediated release. By resolving misfolding and accelerating folding the Hsp70 system can maintain proteins in their native states under otherwise denaturing stress conditions.
