人源色氨酰tRNA合成酶H130R突变体的酶活和初步晶体学分析（英文）

色氨酰t RNA合成酶(tryptophanyl-t RNA synthetase,Trp RS)催化色氨酸的活化及其特异性t RNA的氨酰化,为蛋白质合成提供原料。在IFN-γ刺激下,人源细胞中的Trp RS通过结合血红素增强其氨酰化活性,以调节吲哚胺2,3-双加氧酶表达水平增高所引起的色氨酸缺失。体外研究发现,锌离子和血红素竞争性结合人源Trp RS以增强其氨酰化活性。然而,由于一个氨基酸位点H130R的突变,牛和鼠的Trp RS以及人的H130R突变体都不再受锌离子和血红素的影响,并具有高氨酰化活性。H130R Trp RS模拟了一种结合着锌离子或血红素的高活性构象,但目前还没有对这种构象的结构描述。为了阐明H130R决定Trp RS氨酰化活性种属特异性的原因,以及锌离子和血红素的结合位点,作者对人H130R Trp RS进行了活性分析和初步晶体学研究,此工作将为锌离子和血红素调节Trp RS氨酰化活性的机制研究奠定基础。

Recognition by tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetases of discriminator base on tRNATrp from three biological domains

To study the recognition by tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TrpRS) of tRNA(Trp) discriminator base, mutations were introduced into the discriminator base of Bacillus subtilis, Archeoglobus fulgidus, and bovine tRNA(Trp), representing the three biological domains. When B. subtilis, A. fulgidus, and human TrpRS were used to acylate these tRNA(Trp), two distinct preference profiles regarding the discriminator base of different tRNA(Trp) substrates were found: G>A>U>C for B. subtilis TrpRS, and A>C>U>G for A. fulgidus and human TrpRS. The preference for G73 in tRNA(Trp) by bacterial TrpRS is much stronger than the modest preferences for A73 by the archaeal and eukaryotic TrpRS. Cross-species reactivities between TrpRS and tRNA(Trp) from the three domains were in accordance with the view that the evolutionary position of archaea is intermediate between those of eukarya and bacteria. NMR spectroscopy revealed that mutation of A73 to G73 in bovine tRNA(Trp) elicited a conformational alteration in the G1-C72 base pair. Mutation of G1-C72 to A1-U72 or disruption of the G1-C72 base pair also caused reduction of Trp-tRNA(Trp) formation. These observations identify a tRNA(Trp) structural region near the end of acceptor stem comprising A73 and G1-C72 as a crucial domain required for effective recognition by human TrpRS.     

Residues Lys-149 and Glu-153 switch the aminoacylation of tRNA(Trp) in Bacillus subtilis

Tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (TrpRS) consists of two identical subunits that induce the cross-subunit binding mode of tRNA(Trp). It has been shown that eubacterial and eukaryotic TrpRSs cannot efficiently cross-aminoacylate the corresponding tRNA(Trp). Although the identity elements in tRNA(Trp) that confer the species-specific recognition have been identified, the corresponding elements in TrpRS have not yet been reported. In this study two residues, Lys-149 and Glu-153, were identified as being crucial for the accurate recognition of tRNA(Trp). These residues reside adjacent to the binding pocket for Trp-AMP and show phylogenic diversities in the charge on their side chains between eubacteria and eukaryotes. Single mutagenesis at Lys-149 or Glu-153 reduced the activity of TrpRS in the activation of Trp. The reduction was less than that caused by the double mutant WBHA (K149D/E153R). It is unusual that E153G had no detectable activity in the activation of Trp unless tRNA(Trp) was added to the reaction. In addition, we successfully switched the species specificity of Bacillus subtilis TrpRS recognition of tRNA(Trp). The affinity of WBHA, K149E and E153K to human tRNA(Trp) was 31-, 13.5-, and 12.9-fold greater than that of wild type B. subtilis TrpRS, respectively. Indeed WBHA and E153K were found to prefer genuine human tRNA(Trp) to their cognate eubacteria tRNA(Trp).     

Structure and activity of an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase that charges tRNA with nitro-tryptophan

The most divergent of two tryptophanyl tRNA synthetases (TrpRS II) found in Deinococcus radiodurans interacts with a nitric oxide synthase protein that produces 4-nitro-tryptophan (4-NRP). TrpRS II efficiently charges transfer RNA(Trp) with 4-NRP and 5-hydroxy-tryptophan (5-HRP). The crystal structures of TrpRS II bound to tryptophan and 5-HRP reveal residue substitutions that accommodate modified indoles. A class of auxiliary bacterial TrpRSs conserve this capacity to charge tRNA with nonstandard amino acids.     

Effects of Trypanosoma brucei tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetases silencing by RNA interference

The kinetoplast genetic code deviates from the universal code in that 90% of mitochondrial tryptophans are specified by UGA instead of UGG codons. A single nucleus-encoded tRNA Trp(CCA) is used by both nuclear and mitochondria genes, since all kinetoplast tRNAs are imported into the mitochondria from the cytoplasm. To allow decoding of the mitochondrial UGA codons as tryptophan, the tRNA Trp(CCA) anticodon is changed to UCA by an editing event. Two tryptophanyl tRNA synthetases (TrpRSs) have been identified in Trypanosoma brucei: TbTrpRS1 and TbTrpRS2 which localize to the cytoplasm and mitochondria respectively. We used inducible RNA interference (RNAi) to assess the role of TbTrpRSs. Our data validates previous observations of TrpRS as potential drug design targets and investigates the RNAi effect on the mitochondria of the parasite.     

Structures of tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase II from Deinococcus radiodurans bound to ATP and tryptophan. Insight into subunit cooperativity and domain motions linked to catalysis

An auxiliary tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase (drTrpRS II) that interacts with nitric-oxide synthase in the radiation-resistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans charges tRNA with tryptophan and 4-nitrotryptophan, a specific nitration product of nitric-oxide synthase. Crystal structures of drTrpRS II, empty of ligands or bound to either Trp or ATP, reveal that drTrpRS II has an overall structure similar to standard bacterial TrpRSs but undergoes smaller amplitude motions of the helical tRNA anti-codon binding (TAB) domain on binding substrates. TAB domain loop conformations that more closely resemble those of human TrpRS than those of Bacillus stearothermophilus TrpRS (bsTrpRS) indicate different modes of tRNA recognition by subclasses of bacterial TrpRSs. A compact state of drTrpRS II binds ATP, from which only minimal TAB domain movement is necessary to bring nucleotide in contact with Trp. However, the signature KMSKS loop of class I synthetases does not completely engage the ATP phosphates, and the adenine ring is not well ordered in the absence of Trp. Thus, progression of the KMSKS loop to a high energy conformation that stages acyl-adenylation requires binding of both substrates. In an asymmetric drTrpRS II dimer, the closed subunit binds ATP, whereas the open subunit binds Trp. A crystallographically symmetric dimer binds no ligands. Half-site reactivity for Trp binding is confirmed by thermodynamic measurements and explained by an asymmetric shift of the dimer interface toward the occupied active site. Upon Trp binding, Asp68 propagates structural changes between subunits by switching its hydrogen bonding partner from dimer interface residue Tyr139 to active site residue Arg30. Since TrpRS IIs are resistant to inhibitors of standard TrpRSs, and pathogens contain drTrpRS II homologs, the structure of drTrpRS II provides a framework for the design of potentially useful antibiotics.
