Identification of the amino acid residues in trichosanthin crucial for IgE response

Trichosanthin (TCS) is the major effective component from Chinese herb Trichosanthes kirilowii. TCS has been approved to be effective in clinical treatment of HIV infection and leukemia, but its allergenicity has limited its clinical usage. To identify amino acid residues in TCS with an important role in IgE induction, TCS-specific IgE mAb (TE1) was used to serve as a probe and TE1 epitope was determined by a random phage-peptide library. Based on phage peptide sequences, TE1 epitope was predicted at amino acid residues 169-174 (QQIGKR) of TCS protein. Based on modeling data, two amino acids (Lys173 and Arg174) on TCS were considered to have a crucial role in binding to TE1. After lysine 173 and arginine 174 were mutated to glycine, the mutant TCS protein specifically lost the binding activity to TE1 mAb and exhibited reduced IgE induction in the immunized mice. The data showed that the IgE epitope of TCS was determined and shown to play a critical role in induction of IgE, and the modification of IgE-epitope may be a useful strategy to reduce the allergenicity of an allergen.     

Interaction of Cibacron blue F3GA and polynucleotides with ricin A-chain, 60 S ribosomal subunit-inactivating protein

Cibacron blue F3GA, a sulfonated polyaromatic blue dye, inhibited the ability of ricin A-chain to inactivate ribosomes. Difference-spectroscopic study revealed that the dye bound to the A-chain (Kd = 0.72 microM), producing a difference spectrum with a single maximum at 688 nm and two minima at 585 and 628 nm. Such a significant difference spectrum was not observed in the presence of ricin B-chain or intact ricin, neither of which can inactivate ribosomes. Modification of arginine residues in the A-chain with phenylglyoxal showed a correlation between the loss of inhibitory activity on protein synthesis and the loss of difference absorbance produced by the dye-A-chain interaction. Both losses occurred significantly at an early stage of the modification. Furthermore, the dye protected the A-chain against a loss of its inhibitory activity resulting from the modification of arginine residues. These results suggest that the same arginine residues participate both in the interaction with the dye and in the inactivation of ribosomes. Based on these data, the dye appears to interact with the active site of the A-chain. Addition of several polynucleotides, namely rRNA, tRNA, poly(U) and DNA, to the dye-A-chain complex resulted in a marked displacement of the dye, whereas mono- and dinucleotides had little or no effect on the dye-A-chain interaction. These findings indicate the possible existence of a polynucleotide binding site in the active site of the A-chain. A combination of these and other results suggests that the A-chain recognizes and acts on some part of RNA of the 60 S ribosomal subunit.

Mechanism of spectral changes of a carbocyanine dye with acidic polysaccharides and oligogalacturonides

Changes in the visible spectrum of a cationic carboeyanine dye in the presence of α (1–4) linked oligomers of d-galacturonic acid have been found to be dependent on the number of uronic acid residues in the molecule. Polygalacturonic acid caused a shift in the dye spectrum that was linearly proportional to the polymer concentration. Neither mono- nor digalacturonic acid had an effect on the dye spectrum. Tri- and tetragalacturonic acid caused spectral changes which were nonlinear with respect to oligomer concentration while penta- and hexagalacturonic acid showed concentration-dependent properties similar to polygalacturonic acid.The difference spectra with polygalacturonate and other acidic polysaccharides containing one anionic site per monosaccharide residue showed two absorption maxima in the region of 550 nm and 610 nm. All of the oligomers tested (containing 3 through 6 galacturonic acid residues) yielded only a single maxima for each in the region between 650 and 670 nm. This single maxima phenomenon was also observed with acidic polysaccharides having only one anionic site for every two monosaccharide residues (hyaluronic acid and chondroitin).     

The C-terminal fragment of the ribosomal P protein complexed to trichosanthin reveals the interaction between the ribosome-inactivating protein and the ribosome

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) inhibit protein synthesis by enzymatically depurinating a specific adenine residue at the sarcin-ricin loop of the 28S rRNA, which thereby prevents the binding of elongation factors to the GTPase activation centre of the ribosome. Here, we present the 2.2 Å crystal structure of trichosanthin (TCS) complexed to the peptide SDDDMGFGLFD, which corresponds to the conserved C-terminal elongation factor binding domain of the ribosomal P protein. The N-terminal region of this peptide interacts with Lys173, Arg174 and Lys177 in TCS, while the C-terminal region is inserted into a hydrophobic pocket. The interaction with the P protein contributes to the ribosome-inactivating activity of TCS. This 11-mer C-terminal P peptide can be docked with selected important plant and bacterial RIPs, indicating that a similar interaction may also occur with other RIPs.     

天花粉蛋白Glu189在N-糖苷酶活性中的作用

培养了(E160A,E189A)TCS(天花粉蛋白)的单晶。用浸泡法得到了(E160A,E189A)TCS与Ade复合物的晶体。在MarResearch面探测器系统上分别收集了均为0.20nm分辨率的X射线衍射数据,数据处理用MarScale程序系统完成。用同晶差值Fourier法解析了(E160A,E189A)TCS和(E160A,E189A)TCS-Ade的晶体结构,结构修正利用X-PLOR程序.修正结果,晶体学R因子分别为0.180、0.184,键长和键角的RMS偏差分别为0.0012nm和2.566°、0.0012nm和2.622°。在(E160A,E189A)TCS-Ade中,Ade仍结合在N-糖苷酶活性口袋之中,它夹在Tyr70和Tyr111两个侧链环之间,与Tyr70环近乎平行。这一结果表明:TCS中的Glu160和Glu189同时突变成Ala,仍能与AMP发生N-糖苷酶反应.前文已经证明在(E160A)TCS中Glu189没有援救作用。目前,没有发现Glu189对TCS与AMP的直接作用,但Glu189与其它残基的协同作用及其在TCS与rRNA作用中扮演什么角色,尚待进一步研究。     

The conformation of apolipoprotein A-I in discoidal and spherical recombinant high density lipoprotein particles. 13C NMR studies of lysine ionization behavior.

To elucidate the molecular details of how high density lipoprotein (HDL) microstructure affects the conformation of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I in various classes of HDL particles, apoA-I structure in homogeneous recombinant HDL (rHDL) complexes containing palmitoyl-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine (POPC) and cholesteryl oleate has been investigated by NMR spectroscopy of [13C]lysine-labeled apoA-I. All Lys residues in rHDL apoA-I were labeled with 13C by reductive methylation, and then their ionization behavior was characterized by 13C NMR spectroscopy. Four discoidal particles were prepared to contain from 64 to 256 molecules of POPC and 2 molecules of apoA-I; their major diameters ranged from 9.3 to 12.1 nm. (13CH3)2-Lys resonances from apoA-I in discoidal complexes exhibit six distinct chemical shifts at pH 10. The various Lys have pKa values ranging from 8.3 to 10.5, indicating that they exist in different microenvironments. More than 80% of the Lys residues in small (9.3 nm) discoidal particles titrate at a significantly lower pH than in the large (12.1 nm) discoidal particles. This indicates that apoA-I has a different conformation on the differently size discs. Two spherical particles were prepared with POPC:cholesteryl oleate:apoA-I molar stoichiometries of 56:16:2 and 232:84:4 and diameters of 7.4 and 12.6 nm, respectively. On spherical rHDL, apoA-I (13CH3)2-Lys resonances exhibit five distinct chemical shifts at pH 10. The titration behavior of apoA-I Lys residues is the same in small and large spherical particles, indicating that apoA-I conformation is similar on the two particles. The Lys microenvironments indicate that the conformation of apoA-I in discoidal complexes is dependent on particle size and that these conformations are substantially different from that of apoA-I on spherical complexes. Lys microenvironments in discoidal complexes differ from that of spherical complexes by 4 to 5 ysines which titrate with relatively low pKa values on discs. This reflects apparent differences in conformation in the NH2-terminal one-third of apoA-I on discs and spheres.     

Localization of von willebrand factor-binding sites for platelet glycoprotein Ib and botrocetin by charged-to-alanine scanning mutagenesis

At sites of vascular injury, von Willebrand factor (VWF) mediates platelet adhesion through binding to platelet glycoprotein Ib (GPIb). Previous studies identified clusters of charged residues within VWF domain A1 that were involved in binding GPIb or botrocetin. The contribution of 28 specific residues within these clusters was analyzed by mutating single amino acids to alanine. Binding to a panel of six conformation-dependent monoclonal antibodies was decreased by mutations at Asp(514), Asp(520), Arg(552), and Arg(611) (numbered from the N-terminal Ser of the mature processed VWF), suggesting that these residues are necessary for domain A1 folding. Binding of (125)I-botrocetin was decreased by mutations at Arg(629), Arg(632), Arg(636), and Lys(667). Ristocetin-induced and botrocetin-induced binding to GPIb both were decreased by mutations at Lys(599), Arg(629), and Arg(632); among this group the K599A mutant was unique because (125)I-botrocetin binding was normal, suggesting that Lys(599) interacts directly with GPIb. Ristocetin and botrocetin actions on VWF were dissociated readily by mutagenesis. Ristocetin-induced binding to GPIb was reduced selectively by substitutions at positions Lys(534), Arg(571), Lys(572), Glu(596), Glu(613), Arg(616), Glu(626), and Lys(642), whereas botrocetin-induced binding to GPIb was decreased selectively by mutations at Arg(636) and Lys(667). The binding of monoclonal antibody B724 involved Lys(660) and Arg(663), and this antibody inhibits (125)I-botrocetin binding to VWF. The crystal structure of the A1 domain suggests that the botrocetin-binding site overlaps the monoclonal antibody B724 epitope on helix 5 and spans helices 4 and 5. The binding of botrocetin also activates the nearby VWF-binding site for GPIb that involves Lys(599) on helix 3.     

Mutagenesis identifies amino acid residues in extracellular loops and within the barrel lumen that determine voltage gating of porin from Haemophilus influenzae type b.

Porin (341 amino acids; M(r) 37 782) of Haemophilus influenzae type b mediates exchange of solutes between the external environment and the periplasm of this Gram-negative bacterium. Positively charged residues in the extracellular loops have been shown to be involved in the voltage gating of this protein. To further elucidate our observations on the functional properties of this channel, we mutated seven lysines (Lys(48), Lys(161), Lys(165), Lys(170), Lys(248), Lys(250), and Lys(253)) to glutamic acid. The selected residues were previously shown to be accessible to chemical modification, and they map to three locations: loop 4 and loop 6, and within the barrel lumen. The seven mutant proteins were purified, and each was reconstituted into planar lipid bilayers to characterize its channel forming properties. The single substitution mutant porins displayed increased single channel conductances in 1 M KCl ranging between 134 and 178% of the single channel conductance for wild-type Hib porin. Six of the seven mutant porins also displayed altered current-voltage relationships when compared to wild-type Hib porin. Whereas Lys(170)Glu had activity similar to wild-type Hib porin, Lys(48)Glu, Lys(248)Glu, and Lys(253)Glu showed substantial voltage gating at both positive and negative polarities. Lys(161)Glu and Lys(250)Glu gated only at negative potentials, and Lys(165)Glu gated only at positive potentials. Rather than ascribing one specific loop in gating, our analyses of these mutant Hib porins suggest that voltage gating can be attributed to contributions from loops 4 and 6 and a residue within the barrel lumen.
