Yeast class II Hda1 histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex is an H2B- and H3-specific HDAC in Saccharomyces cerevisiae consisting of three previously identified subunits, the catalytic subunit scHda1p and two non-catalytic structural subunits scHda2p and scHda3p. We co-expressed and co-purified recombinant yeast class II HDAC complex from bacteria as a functionally active and trichostatin-A-sensitive hetero-tetrameric complex. According to an extensive analysis of domain organization and interaction of all subunits (or domains), the N-terminal domain of scHda1p associates through the C-terminal coiled-coil domains (CCDs) of the scHda2p-scHda3p sub-complex, yielding a truncated scHda1pHDAC-scHda2pCCD2-scHda3pCCD3 complex with indistinguishable deacetylase activity compared to the full-length complex in vitro. We characterized the interaction of the HDAC complex with either single-stranded or double-stranded DNA and identified the N-terminal halves of scHda2p and scHda3p as binding modules. A high-resolution structure of the scHda3p DNA-binding domain by X-ray crystallography is presented. The crystal structure shows an unanticipated structural homology with the C-terminal helicase lobes of SWI2/SNF2 chromatin-remodeling domains of the Rad54 family enzymes. DNA binding is unspecific for nucleotide sequence and structure, similar to the Rad54 enzymes in vitro. Our structural and functional analyses of the budding yeast class II Hda1 HDAC complex provide insight into DNA recognition and deacetylation of histones in nucleosomes. 相似文献

The mannitol-specific enzyme II (mannitol permease) of the Escherichia coli phosphotransferase system (PTS) catalyzes the concomitant transport and phosphorylation of D-mannitol. Previous studies have shown that the mannitol permease (637 amino acid residues) consists of 2 structural domains of roughly equal size: an N-terminal, hydrophobic, membrane-bound domain and a C-terminal, hydrophilic, cytoplasmic domain. The C-terminal domain can be released from the membrane by mild proteolysis of everted membrane vesicles [Stephan, M.M., & Jacobson, G.R. (1986) Biochemistry 25, 8230-8234]. In this report, we show that phosphorylation of the intact permease by [32P]HPr (a general phosphocarrier protein of the PTS) followed by tryptic separation of the two domains resulted in labeling of only the C-terminal domain. Phosphorylation of the C-terminal domain occurred even in the complete absence of the N-terminal domain, showing that the former contains most, if not all, of the critical residues comprising the interaction site for phospho-HPr. The phosphorylated C-terminal domain, however, could not transfer its phospho group to mannitol, suggesting that the N-terminal domain is necessary for mannitol binding and/or phosphotransfer from the enzyme to the sugar. The elution profile of the C-terminal domain after molecular sieve chromatography showed that the isolated domain is monomeric, unlike the native permease which is likely a dimer in the membrane. Experiments employing a deletion mutation of the mtlA gene, which encodes a protein lacking the first phosphorylation site in the C-terminal domain (His-554) but retaining the second phosphorylation site (Cys-384), demonstrated that a phospho group could be transferred from phospho-HPr to Cys-384 of the deletion protein, and then to mannitol, only in the presence of the full-length permease.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are key enzymes of protein biosynthesis which usually possess multidomain structures. Mammalian tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase is composed of two structural modules: N-terminal catalytic core and an EMAPII-like C-terminal domain separated by long flexible linker. The structure of full-length human cytoplasmic tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase is still unknown. The structures of isolated N-terminal and C-terminal domains of the protein are resolved, but their compact packing in a functional enzyme is a subject of debates. In this work we studied putative compactization of the N- and C-terminal modules of human tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase by the coarse-grained hierarchical rotations technique (HIEROT). The large number of distinct types of binding interfaces between N- and C-terminal modules is revealed in the absence of enzyme substrates. The binding propensities of different residues are computed and several binding "hot spots" are observed on the surfaces of N and C modules. These results could be used to govern atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, which will sample preferable binding interfaces effectively. 相似文献

Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) is a NAD+-dependent deacetylase that has been associated with neurodegeneration and cancer. SIRT2 is composed of a central catalytic domain, the structure of which has been solved, and N- and C-terminal extensions that are thought to control SIRT2 function. However structural information of these N- and C-terminal regions is missing. Here, we provide the first full-length molecular models of SIRT2 in the absence and presence of NAD+. We also predict the structural alterations associated with phosphorylation of SIRT2 at S331, a modification that inhibits catalytic activity. Bioinformatics tools and molecular dynamics simulations, complemented by in vitro deacetylation assays, provide a consistent picture based on which the C-terminal region of SIRT2 is suggested to function as an autoinhibitory region. This has the capacity to partially occlude the NAD+ binding pocket or stabilize the NAD+ in a non-productive state. Furthermore, our simulations suggest that the phosphorylation at S331 causes large conformational changes in the C-terminal region that enhance the autoinhibitory activity, consistent with our previous findings that phosphorylation of S331 by cyclin-dependent kinases inhibits SIRT2 catalytic activity. The molecular insight into the role of the C-terminal region in controlling SIRT2 function described in this study may be useful for future design of selective inhibitors targeting SIRT2 for therapeutic applications. 相似文献

Hsp70 molecular chaperones contain three distinct structural domains, a 44 kDa N-terminal ATPase domain, a 17 kDa peptide-binding domain, and a 10 kDa C-terminal domain. The ATPase and peptide binding domains are conserved in sequence and are functionally well characterized. The function of the 10 kDa variable C-terminal domain is less well understood. We have characterized the secondary structure and dynamics of the C-terminal domain from the Escherichia coli Hsp70, DnaK, in solution by high-resolution NMR. The domain was shown to be comprised of a rigid structure consisting of four helices and a flexible C-terminal subdomain of approximately 33 amino acids. The mobility of the flexible region is maintained in the context of the full-length protein and does not appear to be modulated by the nucleotide state. The flexibility of this region appears to be a conserved feature of Hsp70 architecture and may have important functional implications. We also developed a method to analyze 15N nuclear spin relaxation data, which allows us to extract amide bond vector directions relative to a unique diffusion axis. The extracted angles and rotational correlation times indicate that the helices form an elongated, bundle-like structure in solution. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is an exchangeable apolipoprotein that plays an important role in lipid/lipoprotein metabolism and cardiovascular diseases. Recent evidence indicates that apoE is also critical in several other important biological processes, including Alzheimer's disease, cognitive function, immunoregulation, cell signaling, and infectious diseases. Although the X-ray crystal structure of the apoE N-terminal domain was solved in 1991, the structural study of full-length apoE is hindered by apoE's oligomerization property. Using protein-engineering techniques, we generated a monomeric, biologically active, full-length apoE. Cross-linking experiments indicate that this mutant is nearly 95-100% monomeric even at 20 mg/mL. CD spectroscopy and guanidine hydrochloride denaturation demonstrate that the structure and stability of the monomeric mutant are identical to wild-type apoE. Monomeric and wild-type apoE display similar lipid-binding activities in dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine clearance assays and formation of reconstituted high-density lipoproteins. Furthermore, the monomeric and wild-type apoE proteins display an identical LDL receptor binding activity. Availability of this monomeric, biologically active, full-length apoE allows us to collect high quality NMR data for structural determination. Our initial NMR data of lipid-free apoE demonstrates that the N-terminal domain in the full-length apoE adopts a nearly identical structure as the isolated N-terminal domain, whereas the C-terminal domain appears to become more structured than the isolated C-terminal domain fragment, suggesting a weak domain-domain interaction. This interaction is confirmed by NMR examination of a segmental labeled apoE, in which the N-terminal domain is deuterated and the C-terminal domain is double-labeled. NMR titration experiments further suggest that the hinge region (residues 192-215) that connects apoE's N- and C-terminal domains may play an important role in mediating this domain-domain interaction. 相似文献

Cytoskeletal elements are the key players in cellular integrity, structure, signalling and migration. Each cytoskeletal element comprises of properties with respect to its structure and stability, which serve a specific array of functions. These structures are highly dynamic and regulated by modulation via direct interaction or post-translational modifications. HDAC6 is a cytoplasmic deacetylase known to regulate a wide range of cellular functions either through its deacetylase activity or direct interaction via its C-terminal ZnF UBP domain. HDAC6 has been widely studied for its role in aggresome formation, which acts as a protective mechanism upon protein aggregation. HDAC6 is known to play a critical role in the regulation of cytoskeletal elements-microtubules and actin filaments. This review summarizes the regulatory role of HDAC6 in cytoskeletal remodeling and dynamics of neuronal cells and its significance in neurodegenerative diseases. 相似文献

The crystal structure of mandelate racemase (MR) has been solved at 3.0-A resolution by multiple isomorphous replacement and subsequently refined against X-ray diffraction data to 2.5-A resolution by use of both molecular dynamics refinement (XPLOR) and restrained least-squares refinement (PROLSQ). The current crystallographic R-factor for this structure is 18.3%. MR is composed of two major structural domains and a third, smaller, C-terminal domain. The N-terminal domain has an alpha + beta topology consisting of a three-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet followed by an antiparallel four alpha-helix bundle. The central domain is a singly wound parallel alpha/beta-barrel composed of eight central strands of beta-sheet and seven alpha-helices. The C-terminal domain consists of an irregular L-shaped loop with several short sections of antiparallel beta-sheet and two short alpha-helices. This C-terminal domain partially covers the junction between the major domains and occupies a region of the central domain that is filled by an eight alpha-helix in all other known parallel alpha/beta-barrels except for the barrel domain in muconate lactonizing enzyme (MLE) [Goldman, A., Ollis, D. L., & Steitz, T. A. (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 194, 143] whose overall polypeptide fold and amino acid sequence are strikingly similar to those of MR [Neidhart, D. J., Kenyon, G. L., Gerlt, J. A., & Petsko, G. A. (1990) Nature 347, 692]. In addition, the crystal structure reveals that, like MLE, MR is tightly packed as an octamer of identical subunits. The active site of MR is located between the two major domains, at the C-terminal ends of the beta-strands in the alpha/beta-barrel domain. The catalytically essential divalent metal ion is ligated by three side-chain carboxyl groups contributed by residues of the central beta-sheet. A model of a productive substrate complex of MR has been constructed on the basis of difference Fourier analysis at 3.5-A resolution of a complex between MR and (R,S)-p-iodomandelate, permitting identification of residues that may participate in substrate binding and catalysis. The ionizable groups of both Lys 166 and His 297 are positioned to interact with the chiral center of substrate, suggesting that both of these residues may function as acid/base catalysts.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The SH2 domain of the C-terminal Src kinase [Csk] contains a unique disulfide bond that is not present in other known SH2 domains. To investigate whether this unusual disulfide bond serves a novel function, the effects of disulfide bond formation on catalytic activity of the full-length protein and on the structure of the SH2 domain were investigated. The kinase activity of full-length Csk decreases by an order of magnitude upon formation of the disulfide bond in the distal SH2 domain. NMR spectra of the fully oxidized and fully reduced SH2 domains exhibit similar chemical shift patterns and are indicative of similar, well-defined tertiary structures. The solvent-accessible disulfide bond in the isolated SH2 domain is highly stable and far from the small lobe of the kinase domain. However, reduction of this bond results in chemical shift changes of resonances that map to a cluster of residues that extend from the disulfide bond across the molecule to a surface that is in direct contact with the small lobe of the kinase domain in the intact molecule. Normal mode analyses and molecular dynamics calculations suggest that disulfide bond formation has large effects on residues within the kinase domain, most notably within the active-site cleft. Overall, the data indicate that reversible cross-linking of two cysteine residues in the SH2 domain greatly impacts catalytic function and interdomain communication in Csk. 相似文献

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a multi-substrate cytoplasmic enzyme that regulates many important biological processes. Recently, some reports have implicated HDAC6 in viral infection. However, nothing is known about its regulation in virus-infected cells. The data presented here for the first time demonstrate the caspase-3-mediated cleavage of HDAC6 in influenza A virus (IAV)-infected cells. HDAC6 polypeptide contains the caspase-3 cleavage motif DMAD-S at the C-terminus, and is a caspase-3 substrate. The cleavage removes most of the C-terminal ubiquitin-binding zinc finger domain from HDAC6, which could be significant for HDAC6’s role in IAV-induced apoptosis in infected cells. 相似文献

We have determined the solution NMR structure of the intermembrane space domain (IMSD) of the human mitochondrial ATPase associated with various activities (AAA) protease known as AFG3-like protein 2 (AFG3L2). Our structural analysis and molecular dynamics results indicate that the IMSD is peripherally bound to the membrane surface. This is a modification to the location of the six IMSDs in a model of the full length yeast hexaoligomeric homolog of AFG3L2 determined at low resolution by electron cryomicroscopy [1]. The predicted protein–protein interaction surface, located on the side furthest from the membrane, may mediate binding to substrates as well as prohibitins. 相似文献

Borrelia outer surface protein A (OspA) contains a unique single-layer beta-sheet that connects N and C-terminal globular domains. This single-layer beta-sheet segment (beta-strands 8-10) is highly stable in solution, although it is exposed to the solvent on both faces of the sheet and thus it does not contain a hydrophobic core. Here, we tested whether interactions with the C-terminal domain are essential for the formation of the single-layer beta-sheet. We characterized the solution structure, dynamics and stability of an OspA fragment corresponding to beta-strands 1-12 (termed OspA[27-163]), which lacks a majority of the C-terminal globular domain. Analyses of NMR chemical shifts and backbone nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) connectivities showed that OspA[27-163] is folded except the 12th and final beta-strand. (1)H-(15)N heteronuclear NOE measurements and amide H-(2)H exchange revealed that the single-layer beta-sheet in this fragment is more flexible than the corresponding region in full-length OspA. Thermal-denaturation experiments using differential scanning calorimetry and NMR spectroscopy revealed that the N-terminal globular domain in the fragment has a conformational stability similar to that of the same region in the full-length protein, and that the single-layer beta-sheet region also has a modest thermal stability. These results demonstrate that the unique single-layer beta-sheet retains its conformation in the absence of its interactions with the C-terminal domain. This fragment is significantly smaller than the full-length OspA, and thus it is expected to facilitate studies of the folding mechanism of this unusual beta-sheet structure. 相似文献

Protein Ser/Thr phosphatase 5 is a 58-kDa protein containing a catalytic domain structurally related to the catalytic subunits of protein phosphatases 1, 2A, and 2B and an extended N-terminal domain with three tetratricopeptide repeats. The activity of this enzyme is stimulated 4-14-fold in vitro by polyunsaturated fatty acids and anionic phospholipids. The structural basis for lipid activation of protein phosphatase 5 was examined by limited proteolysis and site-directed mutagenesis. Trypsinolysis removed the tetratricopeptide repeat domain and increased activity to approximately half that of lipid-stimulated, full-length enzyme. Subtilisin removed the tetratricopeptide repeat domain and 10 residues from the C terminus, creating a catalytic fragment with activity that was equal to or greater than that of lipid-stimulated, full-length enzyme. Catalytic fragments generated by proteolysis were no longer stimulated by lipid, and degradation of the tetratricopeptide repeat domain was decreased by association with lipid. A truncated mutant missing 13 C-terminal residues was also insensitive to lipid and was as active as full-length, lipid-stimulated enzyme. These results suggest that the C-terminal and N-terminal domain act in a coordinated manner to suppress the activity of protein phosphatase 5 and mediate its activation by lipid. These regions may be targets for the regulation of protein phosphatase 5 activity in vivo. 相似文献

The cytoplasmic domain of B ephrins plays a central role in bidirectional signal transduction processes controlling pattern formation and morphogenesis, such as axon guidance, cell migration, segmentation, and angiogensis. In particular, the extremely conserved last 33-residue cytoplasmic subdomain was shown to bind to both a PDZ domain for one signaling pathway [Lu et al. (2001) Cell 105, 69-79] and an SH2 domain from an alternative signaling network [Cowan and Henkemeyer (2001) Nature 413, 174-179]. To date, no structural information is available for the cytoplasmic domain of ephrin B proteins. We report here a detailed NMR study on the structural and dynamic properties of the cytoplasmic domain of human ephrin B2. Our results reveal the following: (1) the N-terminal region of the cytoplasmic domain from residues 253 to 300 lacks the ability for structure formation and is particularly prone to aggregation; and (2) the C-terminal functional subdomain from residues 301 to 333 assumes two distinctive structural elements with residues 301-322 adopting a well-packed hairpin structure followed by a flexible C-terminal tail. Furthermore, the backbone (15)N relaxation data demonstrate that the hairpin structure has significantly limited backbone motions, indicating a high conformational stability for the folded structure. Therefore, while the flexible C-terminal tail is suitable for binding to the PDZ domain, the folded hairpin may represent a latent structure requiring phosphorylation-induced conformational changes for high-affinity interactions with the SH2 domain. 相似文献
