The protein SET is involved in essential cell processes such as chromatin remodeling, apoptosis and cell cycle progression. It also plays a critical role in cell transformation and tumorogenesis. With the aim to study new SET functions we have developed a system to identify SET-binding proteins by combining affinity chromatography, MS, and functional studies. We prepared SET affinity chromatography columns by coupling the protein to activated Sepharose 4B. The proteins from mouse liver lysates that bind to the SET affinity columns were resolved with 2-DE and identified by MS using a MALDI-TOF. This experimental approach allowed the recognition of a number of SET-binding proteins which have been classified in functional clusters. The identification of four of these proteins (CK2, eIF2alpha, glycogen phosphorylase (GP), and TCP1-beta) was confirmed by Western blotting and their in vivo interactions with SET were demonstrated by immunoprecipitation. Functional experiments revealed that SET is a substrate of CK2 in vitro and that SET interacts with the active form of GP but not with its inactive form. These data confirm this proteomic approach as a useful tool for identifying new protein-protein interactions. 相似文献

Modulation of interactions among proteins is an important mechanism for regulating both the subcellular location and the function of proteins. An example of the importance of protein-protein interaction is the reversible association of eukaryotic initiation factor eIF4E with the eIF4E binding proteins 4E-BP1 and eIF4G. When bound to 4E-BP1, eIF4E cannot bind to eIF4G to form the active eIF4F complex, an event that is required for the binding of mRNA to the ribosome. Thus, association of eIF4E with 4E-BP1 represses mRNA translation by preventing the binding of mRNA to the ribosome. Previous studies have measured the amount of 4E-BP1 or eIF4G bound to eIF4E by either affinity chromatography or immunoprecipitation of eIF4E followed by Western blot analysis for quantitation of 4E-BP1 and eIF4G. Both of these techniques have significant limitations. In the present study, we describe a microtiter plate-based assay for quantitation of the amount of 4E-BP1 and eIF4G bound to eIF4E that obviates many of the limitations of the earlier approaches. It also has the advantage that absolute amounts of the individual proteins can be easily estimated. The approach should be applicable to the study of a wide variety of protein-protein interactions. 相似文献

A critical and often limiting step in understanding the function of host and viral proteins is the identification of interacting cellular or viral protein partners. There are many approaches that allow the identification of interacting partners, including the yeast two hybrid system, as well as pull down assays using recombinant proteins and immunoprecipitation of endogenous proteins followed by mass spectrometry identification1. Recent studies have highlighted the utility of double-affinity tag mediated purification, coupled with two specific elution steps in the identification of interacting proteins. This approach, termed Tandem Affinity Purification (TAP), was initially used in yeast2,3 but more recently has been adapted to use in mammalian cells4-8.As proof-of-concept we have established a tandem affinity purification (TAP) method using the well-characterized eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E9,10.The cellular translation factor eIF4E is a critical component of the cellular eIF4F complex involved in cap-dependent translation initiation10. The TAP tag used in the current study is composed of two Protein G units and a streptavidin binding peptide separated by a Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) protease cleavage sequence. The TAP tag used in the current study is composed of two Protein G units and a streptavidin binding peptide separated by a Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) protease cleavage sequence8. To forgo the need for the generation of clonal cell lines, we developed a rapid system that relies on the expression of the TAP-tagged bait protein from an episomally maintained plasmid based on pMEP4 (Invitrogen). Expression of tagged murine eIF4E from this plasmid was controlled using the cadmium chloride inducible metallothionein promoter.Lysis of the expressing cells and subsequent affinity purification via binding to rabbit IgG agarose, TEV protease cleavage, binding to streptavidin linked agarose and subsequent biotin elution identified numerous proteins apparently specific to the eIF4E pull-down (when compared to control cell lines expressing the TAP tag alone). The identities of the proteins were obtained by excision of the bands from 1D SDS-PAGE and subsequent tandem mass spectrometry. The identified components included the known eIF4E binding proteins eIF4G and 4EBP-1. In addition, other components of the eIF4F complex, of which eIF4E is a component were identified, namely eIF4A and Poly-A binding protein. The ability to identify not only known direct binding partners as well as secondary interacting proteins, further highlights the utility of this approach in the characterization of proteins of unknown function. 相似文献

eIF3 in mammals is the largest translation initiation factor ( approximately 800 kDa) and is composed of 13 nonidentical subunits designated eIF3a-m. The role of mammalian eIF3 in assembly of the 48 S complex occurs through high affinity binding to eIF4G. Interactions of eIF4G with eIF4E, eIF4A, eIF3, poly(A)-binding protein, and Mnk1/2 have been mapped to discrete domains on eIF4G, and conversely, the eIF4G-binding sites on all but one of these ligands have been determined. The only eIF4G ligand for which this has not been determined is eIF3. In this study, we have sought to identify the mammalian eIF3 subunit(s) that directly interact(s) with eIF4G. Established procedures for detecting protein-protein interactions gave ambiguous results. However, binding of partially proteolyzed HeLa eIF3 to the eIF3-binding domain of human eIF4G-1, followed by high throughput analysis of mass spectrometric data with a novel peptide matching algorithm, identified a single subunit, eIF3e (p48/Int-6). In addition, recombinant FLAG-eIF3e specifically competed with HeLa eIF3 for binding to eIF4G in vitro. Adding FLAG-eIF3e to a cell-free translation system (i) inhibited protein synthesis, (ii) caused a shift of mRNA from heavy to light polysomes, (iii) inhibited cap-dependent translation more severely than translation dependent on the HCV or CSFV internal ribosome entry sites, which do not require eIF4G, and (iv) caused a dramatic loss of eIF4G and eIF2alpha from complexes sedimenting at approximately 40 S. These data suggest a specific, direct, and functional interaction of eIF3e with eIF4G during the process of cap-dependent translation initiation, although they do not rule out participation of other eIF3 subunits. 相似文献

This protocol describes a method that we developed to adapt the tandem affinity purification (TAP) approach for use in mammalian cells. The protocol involves fusing a protein of interest with a tandem tag consisting of two FLAG tags (FF) followed by two protein-A immunoglobulin G (IgG) binding domains (ZZ). The protocol improves upon previously published TAP approaches by employing FLAG in place of calmodulin binding peptide (CBP) with resulting higher recovery during purification. In addition, we use a bicistronic expression system that ensures recovery of stably transfected cell lines expressing easily detectable levels of the protein of interest. A method is also presented for generating cytoplasmic and nuclear extracts, which extends use of this protocol to identify protein-protein interactions occurring specifically in the cytoplasm or nucleus. This protocol facilitates the preparation of partially purified recombinant protein and identification of protein-protein interactions in mammalian cell culture models. The protocol can be completed in 34 h. 相似文献

The virus protein linked to the genome (VPg) of plant potyviruses is a 25-kDa protein covalently attached to the genomic RNA 5' end. It was previously reported that VPg binds specifically to eIF4E, the mRNAcap-binding protein of the eukaryotic translation initiation complex. We performed a spectroscopic study of the interactions between lettuce eIF4E and VPg from lettuce mosaic virus (LMV). The cap analogue m7GDP and VPg bind to eIF4E at two distinct sites with similar affinity (K(d) = 0.3 microm). A deeper examination of the interaction pathway showed that the binding of one ligand induces a decrease in the affinity for the other by a factor of 15. GST pull-down experiments from plant extracts revealed that VPg can specifically trap eIF4G, the central component of the complex required for the initiation of protein translation. Our data suggest that eIF4G recruitment by VPg is indirectly mediated through VPg-eIF4E association. The strength of interaction between eIF4E and pep4G, the eIF4E-binding domain on eIF4G, was increased significantly by VPg. Taken together these quantitative data show that VPg is an efficient modulator of eIF4E biochemical functions. 相似文献

The eukaryotic multisubunit initiation factor eIF4F is an essential component of the translational machinery. Recognition of the cap structure of mRNA, m(7)GpppN, where N is any nucleotide, by eIF4E is required for initiation of translation. Here we compare the equilibrium and thermodynamic binding characteristics of wild-type eIF4E and a high-affinity mutant, eIF4E(K119A), with those of cap analogues and eIF4G peptides. The temperature-dependent K(d) values for cap analogues were markedly lower, indicating tighter binding, with the eIF4E(K119A) mutant compared with wild-type eIF4E. Although interactions with cap analogues were found to be enthalpically driven, entropic contributions were also significant. Moreover, the binding affinities of eIF4G peptides were 2-4-fold tighter for eIF4E(K119A) than for eIF4E(wt). These results demonstrate that the binding affinity for both the mRNA cap and eIF4G peptides can be simultaneously altered by point mutations distant from either binding site. Entropic contributions to binding suggesting hydrophobic interactions are larger in the mutant protein and are most likely due to a conformational change. 相似文献

Potyvirus RNA contains at the 5' end a covalently linked virus-encoded protein VPg, which is required for virus infectivity. This role has been attributed to VPg interaction with the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E, a cap-binding protein. We characterized the dissociation constants for the interaction of the potato virus Y VPg with different plant eIF4Es and its isoforms and mapped the eIF(iso)4E attachment region on VPg. VPg/eIF4E interaction results in the inhibition of cell-free protein synthesis, and we show that it stems from the liberation of the cap moiety from the complex with eIF4E. Since VPg does not attach the cap, it appears that VPg induces changes in the eIF4E structure, diminishing its affinity to the cap. We show here that the initiation complex scaffold protein eIF(iso)4G increases VPg interaction with eIF(iso)4E. These data together suggest similar cap and VPg interactions with eIF4E and characterize VPg as a novel eIF4E-binding protein, which inhibits host protein synthesis at a very early stage of the initiation complex formation through the inhibition of cap attachment to the initiation factor eIF4E. 相似文献

Protein–nucleic acid interactions exhibit varying degrees of specificity. Relatively high affinity, sequence-specific interactions, can be studied with structure determination, but lower affinity, non-specific interactions are also of biological importance. We report simulations that predict the population of nucleic acid paths around protein surfaces, and give binding constant differences for changes in the protein scaffold. The method is applied to the non-specific component of interactions between eIF4Es and messenger RNAs that are bound tightly at the cap site. Adding a fragment of eIF4G to the system changes both the population of mRNA paths and the protein–mRNA binding affinity, suggesting a potential role for non-specific interactions in modulating translational properties. Generally, the free energy simulation technique could work in harness with characterized tethering points to extend analysis of nucleic acid conformation, and its modulation by protein scaffolds. 相似文献

Chaperonin (Cpn)60 proteins have the ability to activate human and murine myeloid cells. There is contradictory evidence that the receptor for this protein is either similar to that of lipopolysaccharide--CD14 and one or other toll-like receptor (e.g. TLR4) or is some other, undidentified, receptor. In an attempt to directly identify the receptor for Mycobacterium tuberculosis Cpn60.1 we have used two approaches. The first is to use Cpn60.1 as an affinity ligand to pull out the receptor from lysates of the murine monocyte cell line RAW 264.7. The second is to crosslink Cpn60.1 to its receptor on RAW cells and isolate the complex by immunoprecipitation. These methods have worked for other receptors. Using affinity chromatography, 2D SDS-PAGE and peptide mass fingerprinting with MALDI-TOF MS it was found that a number of proteins had the ability to bind to Cpn60.1 on an affinity matrix. We identified five proteins, three of which were likely to be on the cell surface. One of these proteins, the endoplasmic reticulum molecular chaperone, BiP did bind to Cpn60.1 with low affinity. Protein crosslinking studies proved inadequate as insufficient protein could be isolated for mass spectrometric identification. Thus, it appears that Cpn60.1, like Hsp70, may bind to a number of cell surface proteins. BiP appears to be one of these receptor proteins but more work is needed to identify those responsible for signalling. Of interest, CD14 and TLR4 were not identified in this study as a receptor for Cpn60.1. 相似文献

The eukaryotic mRNA 3' poly(A) tail and the 5' cap cooperate to synergistically enhance translation. This interaction is mediated by a ribonucleoprotein network that contains, at a minimum, the poly(A) binding protein (PABP), the capbinding protein eIF4E and a scaffolding protein, eIF4G. eIF4G, in turn, contains binding sites for eIF4A and eIF3, a 40S ribosome-associated initiation factor. The combined cooperative interactions within this "closed loop" mRNP among other effects enhance the affinity of eIF4E for the 5' cap by lowering its dissociation rate and, ultimately, facilitate the formation of 48S and 80S ribosome initiation complexes. The PABP-poly(A) interaction also stimulates initiation driven by picomavirus' internal ribosomal entry sites (IRESs), a process that requires eIF4G but not eIF4E. PABP, therefore, should be considered a canonical initiation factor, integral to initiation complex formation. Poly(A)-mediated translation is subjected to regulation by the PABP-interacting proteins Paip1 and Paip2. Paip1 acts as a translational enhancer. In contrast, Paip2 strongly inhibits translation by promoting dissociation of PABP from poly(A) and by competing with eIF4G for binding to PABP. 相似文献

Ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNP) remodeling by DEAD-box proteins is required at all stages of cellular RNA metabolism. These proteins are composed of a core helicase domain lacking sequence specificity; flanking protein sequences or accessory proteins target and affect the core's activity. Here we examined the interaction of eukaryotic initiation factor 4AI (eIF4AI), the founding member of the DEAD-box family, with two accessory factors, eIF4B and eIF4H. We find that eIF4AI forms a stable complex with RNA in the presence of AMPPNP and that eIF4B or eIF4H can add to this complex, also dependent on AMPPNP. For both accessory factors, the minimal stable complex with eIF4AI appears to have 1:1 protein stoichiometry. However, because eIF4B and eIF4H share a common binding site on eIF4AI, their interactions are mutually exclusive. The eIF4AI:eIF4B and eIF4AI:eIF4H complexes have the same RNase resistant footprint as does eIF4AI alone (9–10 nucleotides [nt]). In contrast, in a selective RNA binding experiment, eIF4AI in complex with either eIF4B or eIF4H preferentially bound RNAs much longer than those bound by eIF4AI alone (30–33 versus 17 nt, respectively). The differences between the RNase resistant footprints and the preferred RNA binding site sizes are discussed, and a model is proposed in which eIF4B and eIF4H contribute to RNA affinity of the complex through weak interactions not detectable in structural assays. Our findings mirror and expand on recent biochemical and structural data regarding the interaction of eIF4AI's close relative eIF4AIII with its accessory protein MLN51. 相似文献

In wheat germ, the interaction between poly(A)-binding protein and eukaryotic initiation factor eIF 4G increases the affinity of eIF4E for the cap by 20-40-fold. Recent findings that wheat germ eIF4G is required for interaction with the IRES, pseudoknot 1 (PK1), of tobacco etch virus to promote cap-independent translation led us to investigate the effects of PABP on the interaction of eIF4F with PK1. The fluorescence anisotropy data showed addition of PABP to eIF4F increased the binding affinity approximately 2.0-fold for PK1 RNA as compared with eIF4F alone. Addition of both PABP and eIF4B to eIF4F enhance binding affinity to PK1 about 4-fold, showing an additive effect rather than the large increase in affinity shown for cap binding. The van't Hoff analyses showed that PK1 RNA binding to eIF4F, eIF4F.PABP, eIF4F.4B and eIF4F.4B.PABP is enthalpy-driven and entropy-favorable. PABP and eIF4B decreased the entropic contribution 65% for binding of PK1 RNA to eIF4F. The lowering of entropy for the formation of eIF4F.4B.PABP-PK1 complex suggested reduced hydrophobic interactions for complex formation. Overall, these results demonstrate the first direct effect of PABP on the interaction of eIF4F and eIF4F.4B with PK1 RNA. 相似文献

Post-translational Modifications (PTMs), such as phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, and sumoylation, regulate the cellular function of many proteins. PTMs of kinetochore proteins that associate with centromeric DNA mediate faithful chromosome segregation to maintain genome stability. Biochemical approaches such as mass spectrometry and western blot analysis are most commonly used for identification of PTMs. Here, a protein purification method is described that allows the detection of both sumoylation and ubiquitination of the kinetochore proteins, Ndc10 and Ndc80, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A strain that expresses polyhistidine-Flag-tagged Smt3 (HF-Smt3) and Myc-tagged Ndc10 or Ndc80 was constructed and used for our studies. For detection of sumoylation, we devised a protocol to affinity purify His-tagged sumoylated proteins by using nickel beads and used western blot analysis with anti-Myc antibody to detect sumoylated Ndc10 and Ndc80. For detection of ubiquitination, we devised a protocol for immunoprecipitation of Myc-tagged proteins and used western blot analysis with anti-Ub antibody to show that Ndc10 and Ndc80 are ubiquitinated. Our results show that epitope tagged-protein of interest in the His-Flag tagged Smt3 strain facilitates the detection of multiple PTMs. Future studies should allow exploitation of this technique to identify and characterize protein interactions that are dependent on a specific PTM. 相似文献

Cap-dependent ribosome recruitment to eukaryotic mRNAs during translation initiation is stimulated by the eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4F complex and eIF4B. eIF4F is a heterotrimeric complex composed of three subunits: eIF4E, a 7-methyl guanosine cap binding protein; eIF4A, a DEAD-box RNA helicase; and eIF4G. The interactions of eIF4E, eIF4A, and eIF4B with mRNA have previously been monitored by chemical- and UV-based cross-linking approaches aimed at characterizing the initial protein/mRNA interactions that lead to ribosome recruitment. These studies have led to a model whereby eIF4E interacts with the 7-methyl guanosine cap structure in an ATP-independent manner, followed by an ATP-dependent interaction of eIF4A and eIF4B. Herein, we apply a splint-ligation-mediated approach to generate 4-thiouridine-containing mRNA adjacent to a radiolabel group that we utilize to monitor cap-dependent cross-linking of proteins adjacent to, and downstream from, the cap structure. Using this approach, we demonstrate interactions between eIF4G, eIF4H, and eIF3 subunits with the mRNA during the cap recognition process. 相似文献

This commentary discusses the recent reports in RNA by Yan and colleagues and Westman and colleagues of the apparent failure of ribavirin to bind to recombinant eIF4E and inhibit 7-methyl guanosine cap-dependent exogenous mRNA translation of cell extracts in vitro. Measuring binding by using affinity chromatography of matrix-immobilized proteins and by using protein emission fluorescence spectroscopy in the presence of nucleotide ligands, as well as limitations of using cell extracts for the assessment of mechanisms of mRNA translation are discussed. Possible reasons for the discordant findings of Yan and colleagues and Westman and colleagues are suggested, and direct observation of the specific binding of ribavirin to eIF4E by using mass spectrometry is presented. 相似文献
