The two polypeptide chains of the erythroid spectrin heterodimer contain between them 36 structural repeating modules, which can function as independently folding units. We have expressed all 36 and determined their thermal stabilities. These vary widely, with unfolding transition mid-points (T(m)) ranging from 21 to 72 degrees C. Eight of the isolated repeats are largely unfolded at physiological temperature. Constructs comprising two or more adjacent repeats show inter-repeat coupling with coupling free energies of several kcal mol(-1). Constructs comprising five successive repeats from the beta-chain displayed cooperativity and strong temperature dependence in forced unfolding by atomic force microscopy. Analysis of aligned sequences and molecular modeling suggests that high stability is conferred by large hydrophobic side chains at position e of the heptad hydrophobic repeats in the first helix of the three-helix bundle that makes up each repeat. This inference was borne out by the properties of mutants in which the critical residues have been replaced. The marginal stability of the tertiary structure at several points in the spectrin chains is moderated by energetic coupling with adjoining structural elements but may be expected to permit adaptation of the membrane to the large distortions that the red cell experiences in the circulation. 相似文献

Dystrophin and utrophin link the F-actin cytoskeleton to the cell membrane via an associated glycoprotein complex. This functionality results from their domain organization having an N-terminal actin-binding domain followed by multiple spectrin-repeat domains and then C-terminal protein-binding motifs. Therapeutic strategies to replace defective dystrophin with utrophin in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy require full-characterization of both these proteins to assess their degree of structural and functional equivalence. Here the high resolution structures of the first spectrin repeats (N-terminal repeat 1) from both dystrophin and utrophin have been determined by x-ray crystallography. The repeat structures both display a three-helix bundle fold very similar to one another and to homologous domains from spectrin, α-actinin and plectin. The utrophin and dystrophin repeat structures reveal the relationship between the structural domain and the canonical spectrin repeat domain sequence motif, showing the compact structural domain of spectrin repeat one to be extended at the C-terminus relative to its previously defined sequence repeat. These structures explain previous in vitro biochemical studies in which extending dystrophin spectrin repeat domain length leads to increased protein stability. Furthermore we show that the first dystrophin and utrophin spectrin repeats have no affinity for F-actin in the absence of other domains. 相似文献

The different genes that encode mammalian spectrins give rise to proteins differing in their apparent stiffness. To explore this, we have compared the thermal stabilities of the structural repeats of brain spectrin subunits (alphaII and betaII) with those of erythrocyte spectrin (alphaI and betaI). The unfolding transition midpoints (T(m)) of the 36 alphaII- and betaII-spectrin repeats extend between 24 and 82 degrees C, with an average higher by some 10 degrees C than that of the alphaI- and betaI-spectrin repeats. This difference is reflected in the T(m) values of the intact brain and erythrocyte spectrins. Two of three tandem-repeat constructs from brain spectrin exhibited strong cooperative coupling, with elevation of the T(m) of the less stable partner corresponding to coupling free energies of approximately -4.4 and -3.5 kcal/mol. The third tandem-repeat construct, by contrast, exhibited negligible cooperativity. Tandem-repeat mutants, in which a part of the "linker" helix that connects the two domains was replaced with a corresponding helical segment from erythroid spectrin, showed only minor perturbation of the thermal melting profiles, without breakdown of cooperativity. Thus, the linker regions, which tolerate few point mutations without loss of cooperative function, have evidently evolved to permit conformational coupling in specified regions. The greater structural stability of the repeats in alphaII- and betaII-spectrin may account, at least in part, for the higher rigidity of brain compared to erythrocyte spectrin. 相似文献

In many multi-repeat proteins, linkers between repeats have little secondary structure and place few constraints on folding or unfolding. However, the large family of spectrin-like proteins, including alpha-actinin, spectrin, and dystrophin, share three-helix bundle, spectrin repeats that appear in crystal structures to be linked by long helices. All of these proteins are regularly subjected to mechanical stress. Recent single molecule atomic force microscopy (AFM) experiments demonstrate not only forced unfolding but also simultaneous unfolding of tandem repeats at finite frequency, which suggests that the contiguous helix between spectrin repeats can propagate a cooperative helix-to-coil transition. Here, we address what happens atomistically to the linker under stress by steered molecular dynamics simulations of tandem spectrin repeats in explicit water. The results for alpha-actinin repeats reveal rate-dependent pathways, with one pathway showing that the linker between repeats unfolds, which may explain the single-repeat unfolding pathway observed in AFM experiments. A second pathway preserves the structural integrity of the linker, which explains the tandem-repeat unfolding event. Unfolding of the linker begins with a splay distortion of proximal loops away from hydrophobic contacts with the linker. This is followed by linker destabilization and unwinding with increased hydration of the backbone. The end result is an unfolded helix that mechanically decouples tandem repeats. Molecularly detailed insights obtained here aid in understanding the mechanical coupling of domain stability in spectrin family proteins. 相似文献

Spectrin is a rod-like multi-modular protein that is mainly composed of triple-helical repeats. These repeats show very similar 3D-structures but variable conformational and thermodynamical stabilities, which may be of great importance for the flexibility and dynamic behaviour of spectrin in the cell. For instance, repeat 17 (R17) of the chicken brain spectrin α-chain is four times less stable than neighbouring repeat 16 (R16) in terms of ?G. The structure of spectrin repeats has mainly been investigated by X-ray crystallography, but the structures of a few repeats, e.g. R16, have also been determined by NMR spectroscopy. Here, we undertook a detailed characterization of the neighbouring R17 by NMR spectroscopy. We assigned most backbone resonances and observed NOE restraints, relaxation values and coupling constants that all indicated that the fold of R17 is highly similar to that of R16, in agreement with previous X-ray analysis of a tandem repeat of the two domains. However, (15)N heteronuclear NMR spectra measured at different temperatures revealed particular features of the R17 domain that might contribute to its lower stability. Conformational exchange appeared to alter the linker connecting R17 to R16 as well as the BC-loop in close proximity. In addition, heat-induced splitting was observed for backbone resonances of a few spatially related residues including V99 of helix C, which in R16 is replaced by the larger hydrophobic tryptophan residue that is relatively conserved among other spectrin repeats. These data support the view that the substitution of tryptophan by valine at this position may contribute to the lower stability of R17. 相似文献

Plectin is a large and versatile cytoskeletal linker and member of the plakin protein family. Plakins share a conserved region called the plakin domain located near their N terminus. We have determined the crystal structure of an N-terminal fragment of the plakin domain of plectin to 2.05 A resolution. This region is adjacent to the actin-binding domain and is required for efficient binding to the integrin alpha6beta4 in hemidesmosomes. The structure is formed by two spectrin repeats connected by an alpha-helix that spans these two repeats. While the first repeat is very similar to other known structures, the second repeat is structurally different with a hydrophobic core, narrower than that in canonical spectrin repeats. Sequence analysis of the plakin domain revealed the presence of up to nine consecutive spectrin repeats organized in an array of tandem modules, and a Src-homology 3 domain inserted in the central spectrin repeat. The structure of the plakin domain is reminiscent of the modular organization of members of the spectrin family. The architecture of the plakin domain suggests that it forms an elongated and flexible structure, and provides a novel molecular explanation for the contribution of plectin and other plakins to the elasticity and stability of tissues subjected to mechanical stress, such as the skin and striated muscle. 相似文献

Four mammalian beta-spectrin genes are currently recognized, all encode proteins of approximately 240-280,000 M(r) and display 17 triple helical homologous approximately 106-residue repeat units. In Drosophila and Caenorhabditis elegans, a variant beta spectrin with unusual properties has been recognized. Termed beta heavy (beta(H)), this spectrin contains 30 spectrin repeats, has a molecular weight in excess of 400,000, and associates with the apical domain of polarized epithelia. We have cloned and characterized from a human retina cDNA library a mammalian ortholog of Drosophila beta(H) spectrin, and in accord with standard spectrin naming conventions we term this new mammalian spectrin beta 5 (betaV). The gene for human betaV spectrin (HUBSPECV) is on chromosome 15q21. The 11, 722-nucleotide cDNA of betaV spectrin is generated from 68 exons and is predicted to encode a protein with a molecular weight of 416,960. Like its fly counterpart, the derived amino acid sequence of this unusual mammalian spectrin displays 30 spectrin repeats, a modestly conserved actin-binding domain, a conserved membrane association domain 1, a conserved self-association domain, and a pleckstrin homology domain near its COOH terminus. Its putative ankyrin-binding domain is poorly conserved and may be inactive. These structural features suggest that betaV spectrin is likely to form heterodimers and oligomers with alpha spectrin and to interact directly with cellular membranes. Unlike its Drosophila ortholog, betaV spectrin does not contain an SH3 domain but displays in repeat 5 a 45-residue insertion that displays 42% identity to amino acids 85-115 of the E4 protein of type 75 human papilloma virus. Human betaV spectrin is expressed at low levels in many tissues. By indirect immunofluorescence, it is detected prominently in the outer segments of photoreceptor rods and cones and in the basolateral membrane and cytosol of gastric epithelial cells. Unlike its Drosophila ortholog, a distinct apical distribution of betaV spectrin is inapparent in the epithelial cell populations examined, although it is confined to the outer segments of photoreceptor cells. The complete cDNA sequence of human betaV spectrin is available from GenBank(TM) as accession number. 相似文献

Structural predictions for the central domain of dystrophin 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
The amino acid sequence of dystrophin indicates that the molecule has globular N- and C-terminal domains separated by a long central rod domain. The central rod contains multiple repeats, about 100 amino acids long and of variable length. These diverge sufficiently in sequence that, in previous studies, only 14 of the most similar repeats have been aligned and analysed in any detail. We show here that a heptad pattern of hydrophobic residues is preserved across all repeats. Using the heptad pattern together with a consensus sequence template, we identified and aligned 25 repeats in the dystrophin rod sequence. Each repeat consists of a constant-length core helix of 54 residues, coupled via a short linker to a weakly conserved variable-length helix, and then via a second linker to the next core. The variable-length helix appears truncated in repeats 10 and 13 and extended in repeats 4 and 20. The extension of repeat 20 is particularly interesting since it corresponds to a hotspot of dystrophy-inducing mutations. Detailed modelling suggests that the classical Speicher-Marchesi [(1984) Nature 311, 177-180] model for spectrin may not be appropriate to dystrophin without some modification. We propose that whilst the repeating structural motif in dystrophin is probably a bead of triple coiled coil, this bead is twice as massive as, and out of phase with, those proposed for spectrin. Our model raises the possibility that the rod domain of dystrophin may confer elasticity on the molecule. Deletions which truncate this region would then reduce the extensibility of the molecule without affecting actin crosslinking, consistent with their typically producing the relatively benign Becker phenotype of muscular dystrophy. 相似文献

The spectrin superfamily (spectrin, alpha-actinin, utrophin and dystrophin) has in common a triple helical repeating unit of ~106 amino acid residues. In spectrin, alpha and beta chains contain multiple copies of this repeat. beta-spectrin chains contain the majority of binding activities in spectrin and are essential for animal life. Canonical beta-spectrins have 17 repeats; beta-heavy spectrins have 30. Here, the repeats of five human beta-spectrins, plus beta-spectrins from several other vertebrates and invertebrates, have been analysed. Repeats 1, 2, 14 and 17 in canonical beta are highly conserved between invertebrates and vertebrates, and repeat 8 in some isoforms. This is consistent with conservation of critical functions, since repeats 1, 2 and 17 bind alpha-spectrin. Repeats 1 of beta-spectrins are not always detected by SMART or Pfam tools. A profile hidden Markov model of beta-spectrin repeat 1 detects alpha-actinins, but not utrophin or dystrophin. Novel examples of repeat 1 were detected in the spectraplakins MACF1, BPAG1 and plectin close to the actin-binding domain. Ankyrin binds to the C-terminal portion of repeat 14; the high conservation of this entire repeat may point to additional, undiscovered ligand-binding activities. This analysis indicates that the basic triple helical repeat pattern was adapted early in the evolution of the spectrin superfamily to encompass essential binding activities, which characterise individual repeats in proteins extant today. 相似文献

Most protein domains are found in multi-domain proteins, yet most studies of protein folding have concentrated on small, single-domain proteins or on isolated domains from larger proteins. Spectrin domains are small (106 amino acid residues), independently folding domains consisting of three long alpha-helices. They are found in multi-domain proteins with a number of spectrin domains in tandem array. Structural studies have shown that in these arrays the last helix of one domain forms a continuous helix with the first helix of the following domain. It has been demonstrated that a number of spectrin domains are stabilised by their neighbours. Here we investigate the molecular basis for cooperativity between adjacent spectrin domains 16 and 17 from chicken brain alpha-spectrin (R16 and R17). We show that whereas the proteins unfold as a single cooperative unit at 25 degrees C, cooperativity is lost at higher temperatures and in the presence of stabilising salts. Mutations in the linker region also cause the cooperativity to be lost. However, the cooperativity does not rely on specific interactions in the linker region alone. Most mutations in the R17 domain cause a decrease in cooperativity, whereas proteins with mutations in the R16 domain still fold cooperatively. We propose a mechanism for this behaviour. 相似文献

Positional independence and additivity of amino acid replacements on helix stability in monomeric peptides 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The 17-residue peptide acetylAEAAAKEAAAKEAAAKAamide, described as an autonomous folding unit (Marqusee & Baldwin, 1987), has been used to examine the effect of amino acid replacements on helix stability. Alanine residues(s) at positions 4, 9, and 14 in the peptide sequence were replaced either singly or multiply by either serine or methionine residues with solid-phase peptide synthesis. The thermal dependence of the helix/coil transition of each peptide was observed by far-ultraviolet circular dichroism. Within experimental variation, all three single replacements exhibit a common thermal transition, and all three double replacements exhibit a different common thermal transition. These results suggest that replacement of the central alanine residue in the repeat EAAAK located in the N-terminus, in the middle, or in the C-terminus of the peptide helix has the same effect on helix stability. The melting temperature of each thermal transition was estimated by assuming a linear van't Hoff plot and a change in molar ellipticity of 33,500 deg cm2 dmol-1. Such analysis indicates that each replacement of an alanine residue by a serine residue diminishes the melting temperature by 11 +/- 1 degrees C and that each replacement of an alanine residue by a methionine residue diminishes the melting temperature by 6 +/- 1 degrees C. These results suggest that the effect of these replacements on helix stability is additive. 相似文献

Protein-folding mechanisms of two small globular proteins, IgG binding domain of protein G and alpha spectrin SH3 domain are investigated via Brownian dynamics simulations with a model made of coarse-grained physical energy functions responsible for sequence-specific interactions and weak Gō-like energies. The folding pathways of alpha spectrin SH3 are known to be mainly controlled by the native topology, while protein G folding is anticipated to be more sensitive to the sequence-specific effects than native topology. We found in the folding of protein G that the C terminal beta hairpin is formed earlier and is rigid, once ordered, in the presence of an intact C terminal turn. The alpha helix is found to exhibit repeated partial formations/deformations during folding and to be stabilized via the tertiary contact with preformed beta sheets. This predicted scenario is fully consistent with experimental phi value data. Moreover, we found that the folding route is critically affected when the hydrophobic interaction is excluded from physical energy terms, suggesting that the hydrophobicity critically contributes to the folding propensity of protein G. For the folding of alpha spectrin SH3, we found that the distal beta hairpin and diverging turn are parts formed early, fully in harmony with previous results of simple Gō-like and experimental analysis, supporting that the folding route of SH3 domain is robust and coded by the native topology. The hybrid method provides useful tools for analyzing roles of physical interactions in determining folding mechanisms. 相似文献

The thermal unfolding of the coiled-coil alpha-helix of recombinant alpha alpha-tropomyosin from rat striated muscle containing an additional 80-residue peptide of influenza virus NS1 protein at the N-terminus (fusion-tropomyosin) was studied with circular dichroism and fluorescence techniques. Fusion-tropomyosin unfolded in four cooperative transitions: (1) a pretransition starting at 35 degrees C involving the middle of the molecule; (2) a major transition at 46 degrees C involving no more than 36% of the helix from the C-terminus; (3) a major transition at 56 degrees C involving about 46% of the helix from the N-terminus; and (4) a transition from the nonhelical fusion domain at about 70 degrees C. Rabbit skeletal muscle tropomyosin, which lacks the fusion peptide but has the same tropomyosin sequence, does not exhibit the 56 degrees C or 70 degrees C transition. The very stable fusion unfolding domain of fusion-tropomyosin, which appears in electron micrographs as a globular structural domain at one end of the tropomyosin rod, acts as a cross-link to stabilize the adjacent N-terminal domain. The least stable middle of the molecule, when unfolded, acts as a boundary to allow the independent unfolding of the C-terminal domain at 46 degrees C from the stabilized N-terminal unfolding domain at 56 degrees C. Thus, strong localized interchain interactions in coiled-coil molecules can increase the stability of neighboring domains. 相似文献

Force-driven conformational changes provide a broad basis for protein extensibility, and multidomain proteins broaden the possibilities further by allowing for a multiplicity of forcibly extended states. Red cell spectrin is prototypical in being an extensible, multidomain protein widely recognized for its contribution to erythrocyte flexibility. Atomic force microscopy has already shown that single repeats of various spectrin family proteins can be forced to unfold reversibly under extension. Recent structural data indicates, however, that the linker between triple-helical spectrin repeats is often a contiguous helix, thus raising questions as to what the linker contributes and what defines a domain mechanically. We have examined the extensible unfolding of red cell spectrins as monomeric constructs of just two, three, or four repeats from the actin-binding ends of both alpha- and beta-chains, i.e., alpha(18-21) and beta(1-4) or their subfragments. In addition to single repeat unfolding evident in sawtooth patterns peaked at relatively low forces (<50 pN at 1 nm/ms extension rates), tandem repeat unfolding is also demonstrated in ensemble-scale analyses of thousands of atomic force microscopy contacts. Evidence for extending two chains and loops is provided by force versus length scatterplots which also indicate that tandem repeat unfolding occurs at a significant frequency relative to single repeat unfolding. Cooperativity in forced unfolding of spectrin is also clearly demonstrated by a common force scale for the unfolding of both single and tandem repeats. 相似文献

Pathways of unfolding a protein depend in principle on the perturbation-whether it is temperature, denaturant, or even forced extension. Widely-shared, helical-bundle spectrin repeats are known to melt at temperatures as low as 40-45 degrees C and are also known to unfold via multiple pathways as single molecules in atomic force microscopy. Given the varied roles of spectrin family proteins in cell deformability, we sought to determine the coupled effects of temperature on forced unfolding. Bimodal distributions of unfolding intervals are seen at all temperatures for the four-repeat beta(1-4) spectrin-an alpha-actinin homolog. The major unfolding length corresponds to unfolding of a single repeat, and a minor peak at twice the length corresponds to tandem repeats. Increasing temperature shows fewer tandem events but has no effect on unfolding intervals. As T approaches T(m), however, mean unfolding forces in atomic force microscopy also decrease; and circular dichroism studies demonstrate a nearly proportional decrease of helical content in solution. The results imply a thermal softening of a helical linker between repeats which otherwise propagates a helix-to-coil transition to adjacent repeats. In sum, structural changes with temperature correlate with both single-molecule unfolding forces and shifts in unfolding pathways. 相似文献

Spectrin repeats are three-helix bundle structures which occur in a large number of diverse proteins, either as single copies or in tandem arrangements of multiple repeats. They can serve structural purposes, by coordination of cytoskeletal interactions with high spatial precision, as well as a 'switchboard' for interactions with multiple proteins with a more regulatory role. We describe the structure of the alpha-actinin spectrin repeats as a prototypical example, their assembly in a defined antiparallel dimer, and the interactions of spectrin repeats with multiple other proteins. The alpha-actinin rod domain shares several features common to other spectrin repeats. (1) The rod domain forms a rigid connection between two actin-binding domains positioned at the two ends of the alpha-actinin dimer. The exact distance and rigidity are important, for example, for organizing the muscle Z-line and maintaining its architecture during muscle contraction. (2) The spectrin repeats of alpha-actinin have evolved to make tight antiparallel homodimer contacts. (3) The spectrin repeats are important interaction sites for multiple structural and signalling proteins. The interactions of spectrin repeats are, however, diverse and defy any simple classification of their preferred interaction sites, which is possible for other domains (e.g. src-homology domains 3 or 2). Nevertheless, the binding properties of the repeats perform important roles in the biology of the proteins where they are found, and lead to the assembly of complex, multiprotein structures involved both in cytoskeletal architecture as well as in forming large signal transduction complexes. 相似文献

AlphaII-spectrin is a major cortical cytoskeletal protein contributing to membrane organization and integrity. The Ca2+-activated binding of calmodulin to an unstructured insert in the 11th repeat unit of alphaII-spectrin enhances the susceptibility of spectrin to calpain cleavage but abolishes its sensitivity to several caspases and to at least one bacterially derived pathologic protease. Other regulatory inputs including phosphorylation by c-Src also modulate the proteolytic susceptibility of alphaII-spectrin. These pathways, acting through spectrin, appear to control membrane plasticity and integrity in several cell types. To provide a structural basis for understanding these crucial biological events, we have solved the crystal structure of a complex between bovine calmodulin and the calmodulin-binding domain of human alphaII-spectrin (Protein Data Bank ID code 2FOT). The structure revealed that the entire calmodulin-spectrin-binding interface is hydrophobic in nature. The spectrin domain is also unique in folding into an amphiphilic helix once positioned within the calmodulin-binding groove. The structure of this complex provides insight into the mechanisms by which calmodulin, calpain, caspase, and tyrosine phosphorylation act on spectrin to regulate essential cellular processes. 相似文献

The plakin protein family serves to connect cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion molecules to the intermediate filament cytoskeleton. Desmoplakin (DP) is an integral part of desmosomes, where it links desmosomal cadherins to the intermediate filaments. The 1056-amino-acid N-terminal region of DP contains a plakin domain common to members of the plakin family. Plakin domains contain multiple copies of spectrin repeats (SRs). We determined the crystal structure of a fragment of DP, residues 175-630, consisting of four SRs and an inserted SH3 domain. The four repeats form an elongated, rigid structure. The SH3 domain is present in a loop between two helices of an SR and interacts extensively with the preceding SR in a manner that appears to limit inter-repeat flexibility. The intimate intramolecular association of the SH3 domain with the preceding SR is also observed in plectin, another plakin protein, but not in α-spectrin, suggesting that the SH3 domain of plakins contributes to the stability and rigidity of this subfamily of SR-containing proteins. 相似文献

In order to further elucidate structural and dynamic principles of protein self-organization and protein-ligand interactions,
a new chimeric protein was designed and a genetically engineered construct was created. SH3-F2 amino acid sequence consists
of polyproline ligand mgAPPLPPYSA, GG linker, and the sequence of spectrin SH3 domain circular permutant S19-P20s. Structural
and dynamic properties of the protein were studied with high-resolution NMR. According to NMR data, the tertiary structure
of the chimeric protein SH3-F2 has a topology that is typical for SH3 domains in the complex with the ligand forming polyproline
type II helix located in the conservative region of binding in the orientation II. The polyproline ligand closely adjoins
with the protein globule and is stabilized by hydrophobic interactions. However, the interactions of the ligand and the part
of globule related to SH3 domain is not too large, because the analysis of protein dynamical characteristics points to the
low amplitude, high-frequency ligand tumbling relative to the slow intramolecular motions of the main globule. The constructed
chimera allows carrying out further structural and thermodynamic investigations of polyproline helix properties and its interaction
with regulatory domains. 相似文献
