Adhesive multi-subunit fibres are assembled on the surface of many pathogenic bacteria via the chaperone-usher pathway. In the periplasm, a chaperone donates a β-strand to a pilus subunit to complement its incomplete immunoglobulin-like fold. At the outer membrane, this is replaced with a β-strand formed from the N-terminal extension (Nte) of an incoming pilus subunit by a donor-strand exchange (DSE) mechanism. This reaction has previously been shown to proceed via a concerted mechanism, in which the Nte interacts with the chaperone:subunit complex before the chaperone has been displaced, forming a ternary intermediate. Thereafter, the pilus and chaperone β-strands have been postulated to undergo a strand swap by a ‘zip-in-zip-out’ mechanism, whereby the chaperone strand zips out, residue by residue, as the Nte simultaneously zips in, although direct experimental evidence for a zippering mechanism is still lacking. Here, molecular dynamics simulations have been used to probe the DSE mechanism during formation of the Saf pilus from Salmonella enterica at the atomic level, allowing the direct investigation of the zip-in-zip-out hypothesis. The simulations provide an explanation of how the incoming Nte is able to dock and initiate DSE due to inherent dynamic fluctuations within the chaperone:subunit complex. In the simulations, the chaperone donor strand was seen to unbind from the pilus subunit, residue by residue, in direct support of the zip-in-zip-out hypothesis. In addition, an interaction of a residue towards the N-terminus of the Nte with a specific binding pocket (P*) on the adjacent pilus subunit was seen to stabilise the DSE product against unbinding, which also proceeded in the simulations by a zippering mechanism. Together, the study provides an in-depth picture of DSE, including the first atomistic insights into the molecular events occurring during the zip-in-zip-out mechanism.  相似文献

P pili are important adhesive fibres involved in kidney infection by uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains. P pili are assembled by the conserved chaperone-usher pathway, which involves the PapD chaperone and the PapC usher. During pilus assembly, subunits are incorporated into the growing fiber via the donor-strand exchange (DSE) mechanism, whereby the chaperone's G1 beta-strand that complements the incomplete immunoglobulin-fold of each subunit is displaced by the N-terminal extension (Nte) of an incoming subunit. P pili comprise a helical rod, a tip fibrillum, and an adhesin at the distal end. PapA is the rod subunit and is assembled into a superhelical right-handed structure. Here, we have solved the structure of a ternary complex of PapD bound to PapA through donor-strand complementation, itself bound to another PapA subunit through DSE. This structure provides insight into the structural basis of the DSE reaction involving this important pilus subunit. Using gel filtration chromatography and electron microscopy on a number of PapA Nte mutants, we establish that PapA differs in its mode of assembly compared with other Pap subunits, involving a much larger Nte that encompasses not only the DSE region of the Nte but also the region N-terminal to it.  相似文献

P pili are hairlike polymeric structures that mediate binding of uropathogenic Escherichia coli to the surface of the kidney via the PapG adhesin at their tips. PapG is composed of two domains: a lectin domain at the tip of the pilus followed by a pilin domain that comprises the initial polymerizing subunit of the 1,000-plus-subunit heteropolymeric pilus fiber. Prior to assembly, periplasmic pilin domains bind to a chaperone, PapD. PapD mediates donor strand complementation, in which a beta strand of PapD temporarily completes the pilin domain''s fold, preventing premature, nonproductive interactions with other pilin subunits and facilitating subunit folding. Chaperone-subunit complexes are delivered to the outer membrane usher where donor strand exchange (DSE) replaces PapD''s donated beta strand with an amino-terminal extension on the next incoming pilin subunit. This occurs via a zip-in–zip-out mechanism that initiates at a relatively accessible hydrophobic space termed the P5 pocket on the terminally incorporated pilus subunit. Here, we solve the structure of PapD in complex with the pilin domain of isoform II of PapG (PapGIIp). Our data revealed that PapGIIp adopts an immunoglobulin fold with a missing seventh strand, complemented in parallel by the G1 PapD strand, typical of pilin subunits. Comparisons with other chaperone-pilin complexes indicated that the interactive surfaces are highly conserved. Interestingly, the PapGIIp P5 pocket was in an open conformation, which, as molecular dynamics simulations revealed, switches between an open and a closed conformation due to the flexibility of the surrounding loops. Our study reveals the structural details of the DSE mechanism.  相似文献

The assembly of type 1 pili on the surface of uropathogenic Escherichia coli proceeds via the chaperone-usher pathway. Chaperone-subunit complexes interact with one another via a process termed donor strand complementation whereby the G1beta strand of the chaperone completes the immunoglobulin (Ig) fold of the pilus subunit. Chaperone-subunit complexes are targeted to the usher, which forms a channel across the outer membrane through which pilus subunits are translocated and assembled into pili via a mechanism known as donor strand exchange. This is a mechanism whereby chaperone uncapping from a subunit is coupled with the simultaneous assembly of the subunit into the pilus fiber. Thus, in the pilus fiber, the N-terminal extension of every subunit completes the Ig fold of its neighboring subunit by occupying the same site previously occupied by the chaperone. Here, we investigated details of the donor strand exchange assembly mechanism. We discovered that the information necessary for targeting the FimC-FimH complex to the usher resides mainly in the FimH protein. This interaction is an initiating event in pilus biogenesis. We discovered that the ability of an incoming subunit (in a chaperone-subunit complex) to participate in donor strand exchange with the growing pilus depended on a previously unrecognized function of the chaperone. Furthermore, the donor strand exchange assembly mechanism between subunits was found to be necessary for subunit translocation across the outer membrane usher.  相似文献

DNA polymerase III holoenzyme was assembled from pure proteins onto a primer template scaffold. The assembly process could be divided into two stages. In the time-consuming first stage, beta subunit and gamma.delta subunit complex were required in forming a tightly bound ATP-activated "preinitiation complex" with a single-stranded DNA bacteriophage circle uniquely primed with a synthetic pentadecadeoxyribonucleotide. This finding substantiates an earlier study using crude protein preparations in a homopolymer system lacking Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA binding protein (Wickner, S. (1976) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 73, 3511-3515). In the second stage, the polymerase III core and the tau subunit rapidly seek out and bind the preinitiation complex to form DNA polymerase III holoenzyme capable of rapid and entirely processive replication of the circular DNA. ATP is not required beyond formation of the preinitiation complex. It is remarkable that the fully assembled DNA polymerase III holoenzyme is so stably bound to the primed DNA circle (4-min half-time of dissociation), yet upon completing a round of synthesis the polymerase cycles within 10 s to a new preinitiation complex on a challenge primed DNA circle. Efficient polymerase cycling only occurred when challenge primed DNA was endowed with a preinitiation complex implying that cycling is mediated by a polymerase subassembly which dissociates from its accessory proteins and associates with a new preinitiation complex. These subunit dynamics suggest mechanisms for polymerase cycling on the lagging strand of replication forks in a growing chromosome.  相似文献

The chaperone-usher pathway directs the formation of adhesive surface fibres in numerous pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. The fibres or pili consist exclusively of protein subunits that, before assembly, form transient complexes with a chaperone in the periplasm. In these chaperone:subunit complexes, the chaperone donates one beta-strand to complete the imperfect immunoglobulin-like fold of the subunit. During pilus assembly, the chaperone is replaced by a polypeptide extension of another subunit in a process termed 'donor strand exchange' (DSE). Here we show that DSE occurs in a concerted reaction in which a chaperone-bound acceptor subunit is attacked by another chaperone-bound donor subunit. We provide evidence that efficient DSE requires interactions between the reacting subunits in addition to those involving the attacking donor strand. Our results indicate that the pilus assembly platforms in the outer membrane, referred to as ushers, catalyse fibre formation by increasing the effective concentrations of donor and acceptor subunits.  相似文献

The DNA Polymerase III holoenzyme forms initiation complexes on primed DNA in an ATP-dependent reaction. We demonstrate that the nonhydrolyzable ATP analog, ATP gamma S, supports the formation of an isolable leading strand complex that loads and replicates the lagging strand only in the presence of ATP, beta, and the single-stranded DNA binding protein. The single endogenous DnaX complex within DNA polymerase III holoenzyme assembles beta onto both the leading and lagging strand polymerases by an ordered mechanism. The dimeric replication complex disassembles in the opposite order from which it assembled. Upon ATP gamma S-induced dissociation, the leading strand polymerase is refractory to disassembly allowing cycling to occur exclusively on the lagging strand. These results establish holoenzyme as an intrinsic asymmetric dimer with distinguishable leading and lagging strand polymerases.  相似文献

Cre recombinase uses two pairs of sequential cleavage and religation reactions to exchange homologous DNA strands between 34 base-pair (bp) LoxP recognition sequences. In the oligomeric recombination complex, a switch between "cleaving" and "non-cleaving" subunit conformations regulates the number, order, and regio-specificity of the strand exchanges. However, the particular sequence of events has been in question. From analysis of strand composition of the Holliday junction (HJ) intermediate, we determined that Cre initiates recombination of LoxP by cleaving the upper strand on the left arm. Cre preferred to react with the left arm of a LoxP suicide substrate, but at a similar rate to the right arm, indicating that the first strand to be exchanged is selected prior to cleavage. We propose that during complex assembly the cleaving subunit preferentially associates with the LoxP left arm, directing the first strand exchange to that side. In addition, this biased assembly would enforce productive orientation of LoxP sites in the recombination synapses. A novel Cre-HJ complex structure in which LoxP was oriented with the left arm bound by the cleaving Cre subunit suggested a physical basis for the strand exchange order. Lys86 and Lys201 interact with the left arm scissile adenine base differently than in structures that have a scissile guanine. These interactions are associated with positioning the 198-208 loop, a structural component of the conformational switch, in a configuration that is specific to the cleaving conformation. Our results suggest that strand exchange order and site alignment are regulated by an "induced fit" mechanism in which the cleaving conformation is selectively stabilized through protein-DNA interactions with the scissile base on the strand that is cleaved first.  相似文献

The human glycoprotein hormones chorionic gonadotropin (CG), thyrotropin (TSH), lutropin (LH), and follitropin (FSH) are heterodimers, composed of a common alpha subunit assembled to a hormone-specific beta subunit. The subunits combine noncovalently early in the secretory pathway and exist as heterodimers, but not as multimers. Little information is available regarding the steps associated with the assembly reaction. It is unclear if the initial alpha beta engagement results either in the formation of only mature heterodimer or if the nascent complex is reversible and can undergo an exchange of subunits or combine transiently with an additional subunit. This is relevant for the case of LH and FSH, because both are synthesized in the same cell (i.e., pituitary gonadotrophs) and several of the alpha subunit sequences required for association with either the LH beta or FSH beta subunits are different. Such features could favor the generation of short-lived, multi-subunit forms prior to completion of assembly. Previously, we showed that the CG beta or FSH beta subunit genes can be genetically fused to the alpha gene to produce biologically active single chains, CG beta alpha and F beta alpha, respectively. Studies using monoclonal antibodies sensitive to the conformation of the hCG subunits suggested that in contrast to the highly compact heterodimer, the interactions between the beta and alpha domains in the single chain are in a more relaxed configuration. That the tethered domains do not interact tightly predicts that they could combine with an additional subunit to form triple domain complexes. We tested this point by cotransfecting CHO cells with the genes encoding F beta alpha and the CG beta subunit or the CG beta alpha and FSH beta monomer. The CG beta subunit combined noncovalently with F beta alpha to form a F beta alpha/CG beta complex. Ternary complex formation was not restricted to a specific set of single chain/monomeric subunit, because a CG beta alpha/FSH beta complex was also detected implying that triple domain intermediates could be transiently generated along the secretory pathway. Monoclonal antibodies specific for the CG heterodimer recognized the F beta alpha/CG beta complex, which suggests that the epitopes unique for dimeric CG were established. In addition, media containing F beta alpha/CG beta displayed high-affinity binding to both CG and FSH receptors. The presence of CG activity is presumptive for the existence of a functional F beta alpha/CG beta complex, because neither F beta alpha nor the uncombined CG beta subunit binds to CG receptor. These data show that the alpha subunit of the tether, although covalently linked to the FSH beta domain, can functionally interact with a different beta subunit implying that the contacts in the nascent alpha beta dimer are reversible. The formation of a functional single chain/subunit complex was not restricted to the FSH single chain/CG beta subunit since CG single chain interacts with the monomeric FSH beta subunit and exhibits FSH activity. The presence of the triple domain configuration does not abolish bioactivity, suggesting that although the gonadotropins are heterodimers, the cognate receptor is capable of recognizing a larger ligand composed of three subunit domains.  相似文献

Adhesive type 1 pili from uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains are heat and denaturant resistant, filamentous protein complexes. Individual pilus subunits associate through "donor strand complementation," whereby the incomplete immunoglobulin-like fold of each subunit is completed by the N-terminal extension of a neighboring subunit. We show that antiparallel donor strand insertion generally causes nonequilibrium behavior in protein folding and extreme activation energy barriers for dissociation of subunit-subunit complexes. We identify the most kinetically stable, noncovalent protein complex known to date. The complex between the pilus subunit FimG and the donor strand peptide of the subunit FimF shows an extrapolated dissociation half-life of 3 x 10(9) years. The 15 residue peptide forms ideal intermolecular beta sheet H-bonds with FimG over 10 residues, and its hydrophobic side chains strongly interact with the hydrophobic core of FimG. The results show that kinetic stability and nonequilibrium behavior in protein folding confers infinite stability against dissociation in extracellular protein complexes.  相似文献

The serpins are of general protein chemical interest due to their ability to undergo a large conformational change consisting of the insertion of the reactive centre loop (RCL), which becomes strand 4, into the central beta sheet A. To make space for the incoming RCL, the 'shutter region' opens by the beta strands 3A and 5A sliding apart over the underlying alpha helix B. Loop insertion occurs during the formation of complexes of serpins with their target serine proteinases and during latency transition. This type of loop insertion is unique to plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). We report here that amino-acid substitutions in a buried cluster of three residues forming a hydrogen bonding network in the shutter region drastically accelerate PAI-1 latency transition; that the rate was in all cases normalized by the PAI-1 binding protein vitronectin; and that substitution of an adjacent beta strand 5A Lys residue, believed to anchor beta strand 5A to other secondary structural elements, had differential effects on the rates of latency transition in the absence and the presence of vitronectin, respectively. An overlapping, but not identical set of substitutions resulted in an increased tendency to substrate behaviour of PAI-1 at reaction with its target proteinases. These findings show that vitronectin regulates the movements of the RCL through conformational changes of the shutter region and beta strand 5A, are in agreement with RCL insertion proceeding by different routes during latency transition and complex formation, and contribute to the biochemical basis for the potential use of PAI-1 as a therapeutic target in cancer and cardiovascular diseases.  相似文献

The (C)F1 sector from H(+)-ATP synthases comprises five subunits: alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon, assembled in a 3:3:1:1:1 stoichiometry. Here, we describe the molecular mechanism ensuring this unique stoichiometry, required for the functional assembly of the chloroplast enzyme. It relies on a translational feedback loop operating in two steps along the assembly pathway of CF1. In Chlamydomonas, production of the nucleus-encoded subunit gamma is required for sustained translation of the chloroplast-encoded subunit beta, which in turn stimulates the expression of the chloroplast-encoded subunit alpha. Translational downregulation of subunits beta or alpha, when not assembled, is born by the 5'UTRs of their own mRNAs, pointing to a regulation of translation initiation. We show that subunit gamma, by assembling with alpha(3)beta(3) hexamers, releases a negative feedback exerted by alpha/beta assembly intermediates on translation of subunit beta. Moreover, translation of subunit alpha is transactivated by subunit beta, an observation unprecedented in the biogenesis of organelle proteins.  相似文献

Functional N-methyl-d-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptors are formed from the assembly of NR1 and NR2 subunits. When expressed alone, the major NR1 splice variant and the NR2 subunits are retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), reflecting a quality control mechanism found in many complex multisubunit proteins to ensure that only fully assembled and properly folded complexes reach the cell surface. Recent studies have identified an RRR motif in the C terminus of the NR1 subunit, which controls the ER retention of the unassembled subunit. Here we investigated the mechanisms controlling the ER retention of the NR2 subunit and the export of the assembled complex from the ER. We found that Tac chimeras of the C terminus of the NR2B subunit show that an ER retention signal is also present in the NR2B subunit. In assembled complexes, ER retention signals on the individual subunits must be overcome to allow the complex to leave the ER. One common mechanism involves mutual masking of the signals on the individual subunits. Our data do not support such a mechanism for regulating the release of assembled NMDA receptors from the ER. We found that the motif, HLFY, immediately following transmembrane domain 4 of the NR2 subunit, is required for the assembled complex to exit from the ER. Mutation of this motif allowed the assembly of NR1 and NR2 subunits into a complex that was functional, based on MK-801 binding, but it is retained in the ER. These results are consistent with HLFY functioning as a signal that is necessary for the release of the assembled functional NMDA receptor complex from the ER.  相似文献

The crystal structure of the catalytic core of murine terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase (TdT) at 2.35 A resolution reveals a typical DNA polymerase beta-like fold locked in a closed form. In addition, the structures of two different binary complexes, one with an oligonucleotide primer and the other with an incoming ddATP-Co(2+) complex, show that the substrates and the two divalent ions in the catalytic site are positioned in TdT in a manner similar to that described for the human DNA polymerase beta ternary complex, suggesting a common two metal ions mechanism of nucleotidyl transfer in these two proteins. The inability of TdT to accommodate a template strand can be explained by steric hindrance at the catalytic site caused by a long lariat-like loop, which is absent in DNA polymerase beta. However, displacement of this discriminating loop would be sufficient to unmask a number of evolutionarily conserved residues, which could then interact with a template DNA strand. The present structure can be used to model the recently discovered human polymerase mu, with which it shares 43% sequence identity.  相似文献

A chimeric plasmid carrying the structural gene (ATP2) for the mitochondrial ATPase beta subunit of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used to complement a mutant of Schizosaccharomyces pombe lacking the beta subunit (Boutry, M., and Goffeau, A. (1982) Eur. J. Biochem. 125, 471-477). Transformation with ATP2 restored the growth rate of S. pombe mutant on glycerol as well as the mitochondrial ATPase and 32Pi-ATP exchange activities to approximately 20% of the parental strain. Mitochondria prepared from the transformant contained a normal amount of a hybrid F1-ATPase consisting of the S. cerevisiae beta subunit assembled with the remaining subunits of the S. pombe ATPase complex. The presence of the S. cerevisiae beta subunit in the S. pombe ATPase complex conferred a sensitivity to the energy transfer inhibitors citreoviridin and oligomycin which was like that of the intact S. cerevisiae enzyme. The S. cerevisiae beta subunit assembled into the hybrid ATPase complex was the same size as the mature subunit in S. cerevisiae. These data indicate that the mechanism of mitochondrial import and the assembly of the cytoplasmically synthesized subunits is similar or identical in these evolutionary divergent yeasts. In addition, this study provides a new approach for the construction of hybrid mitochondrial ATPase complexes which can be used to examine the function of selected subunits in energy transduction.  相似文献

Interleukin-2 is a key immuno-regulatory cytokine whose actions are mediated by three different cell surface receptors: the alpha, beta and the "common gamma" (gamma(c)) chains. We have undertaken a complete thermodynamic characterization of the stepwise assembly cycle for multiple possible combinations of the receptor-ligand, and receptor-receptor interactions that are necessary for formation of the high-affinity IL-2/alphabetagamma(c) signaling complex. We find an entropically favorable high affinity interaction between IL-2 and its alpha receptor, a moderately entropically favorable low affinity interaction between IL-2 and its beta receptor, and no interaction between IL-2 and the shared receptor, gamma(c). Formation of the stable intermediate trimolecular complexes of IL-2 with alpha and beta receptors, as well as IL-2 with beta and gamma(c) receptors proceeds through enthalpy-entropy compensation mechanisms. Surprisingly, we see a moderate affinity interaction between the unliganded receptor alpha and beta chains, suggesting that a preformed alphabeta complex may serve as the initial interaction complex for IL-2. Reconstitution of the IL-2/Ralphabetagamma(c) high-affinity quaternary signaling complex shows it to be assembled through cooperative energetics to form a 1:1:1:1 assembly. Collectively, the favorable entropy of the bimolecular interactions appears to be offset by the loss in rigid body entropy of the receptor components in the higher-order complexes, but overcome by the formation of increasingly enthalpically favorable composite interfaces. This enthalpic mechanism utilized by gamma(c) contrasts with the favorable entropic mechanism utilized by gp130 for degenerate cytokine interaction. In conclusion, we find that several energetically redundant pathways exist for formation of IL-2 receptor signaling complexes, suggesting a more complex equilibrium on the cell surface than has been previously appreciated.  相似文献

The inhibitory effect of epsilon subunit in F(1)-ATPase from thermophilic Bacillus PS3 was examined focusing on the structure-function relationship. For this purpose, we designed a mutant for epsilon subunit similar to the one constructed by Schulenberg and Capaldi (Schulenberg, B., and Capaldi, R. A. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 28351-28355). We introduced two cysteine residues at the interface of N-terminal beta-sandwich domain (S48C) and C-terminal alpha-helical domain (N125C) of epsilon subunit. The alpha(3)beta(3)gammaepsilon complex containing the reduced form of this mutant epsilon subunit showed suppressed ATPase activity and gradual activation during the measurement. This activation pattern was similar to the complex with the wild type epsilon subunit. The conformation of the mutant epsilon subunit must be fixed and similar to the reported three-dimensional structure of the isolated epsilon subunit, when the intramolecular disulfide bridge was formed on this subunit by oxidation. This oxidized mutant epsilon subunit could form the alpha(3)beta(3)gammaepsilon complex but did not show any inhibitory effect. The complex was converted to the activated state, and the cross-link in the mutant epsilon subunit in the complex was efficiently formed in the presence of ATP-Mg, whereas no cross-link was observed without ATP-Mg, suggesting the conformation of the oxidized mutant epsilon subunit must be similar to that in the activated state complex. A non-hydrolyzable analog of ATP, 5'-adenylyl-beta,gamma-imidodiphosphate, could stimulate the formation of the cross-link on the epsilon subunit. Furthermore, the cross-link formation was stimulated by nucleotides even when this mutant epsilon subunit was assembled with a mutant alpha(3)beta(3)gamma complex lacking non-catalytic sites. These results indicate that binding of ATP to the catalytic sites induces a conformational change in the epsilon subunit and triggers transition of the complex from the suppressed state to the activated state.  相似文献

Pol III, a subassembly of Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III holoenzyme lacking only the auxiliary beta subunit, was purified to homogeneity by an improved procedure. This assembly consists of nine different polypeptides, likely in a 1:1 stoichiometry: a catalytic core (pol III) of alpha (132 kDa), epsilon (27 kDa), and theta (10 kDa), and six auxiliary subunits: tau (71 kDa), gamma (52 kDa), delta (35 kDa), delta' (33 kDa), chi (15 kDa), and psi (12 kDa). The assembly behaves on gel filtration as a particle of about 800 kDa, indicating a content of two each of the subunits. A new procedure for purifying the core yielded a novel dimeric form which may provide the foundation for the dimeric nature of the more complex pol III and holoenzyme forms. Pol III readily dissociates into several subassemblies including pol III', likely a dimeric core with two tau subunits. The holoenzyme, purified by a similar procedure with ATP and Mg2+ present throughout, retained the beta subunit (37 kDa) as well as all the subunits present in pol III; the mass of the holoenzyme was estimated to be 900 kDa. The isolated initiation complex of holoenzyme with a primed template DNA and the elongation complex (formed in the presence of three deoxynucleoside triphosphates) had the same composition and stoichiometry as observed for pol III with two beta dimers in addition. An initiation complex assembled from a mixture of monomeric pol III core, gamma 2 delta delta' chi psi complex (gamma complex), beta, and tau retained the core, one beta dimer, and two tau subunits but was deficient in the gamma complex. When tau was omitted from the assembly mixture, the initiation complex contained one or two gamma complexes instead of the tau subunit. Based on these data, pol III holoenzyme is judged to be an asymmetric dimeric particle with twin pol III core active sites and two different sets of auxiliary units designed to achieve essentially concurrent replication of both leading and lagging strand templates.  相似文献
