Surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) difference spectroscopy can probe reactions in a protein monolayer tethered to a nanostructured gold surface. SEIRA studies of membrane proteins, however, remain challenging due to sample stability, effects of the metal surface on function, and the need for a membrane-mimicking environment. Here we demonstrate and characterize a model system for membrane receptor investigations using SEIRA spectroscopy. The system employs nanoscale apolipoprotein bound bilayer (NABB) particles, similar to discoidal high-density lipoprotein particles, as soluble carriers for the G-protein-coupled receptor rhodopsin. The His-tag of the engineered apolipoprotein allows for selective binding of the NABBs to a Ni-NTA modified surface, while the lipid environment of the particle ensures stability and protection of the embedded receptor. Using SEIRA spectroscopy, we followed specific binding of rhodopsin-loaded NABB particles to the surface and formation of a membrane protein monolayer. Functionality of the photoreceptor in the immobilized NABBs was probed by SEIRA difference spectroscopy confirming protein conformational changes associated with photoactivation. Orientation of the immobilized NABB particles was assessed by comparing SEIRA data with polarized attenuated total reflection-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Thus, SEIRA difference spectroscopy supported by the NABB technology provides a promising approach for further functional studies of transmembrane receptors.  相似文献

Nucleobindin 1 (NUCB1) is a widely expressed multidomain calcium-binding protein whose precise physiological and biochemical functions are not well understood. We engineered and heterologously expressed a soluble form of NUCB1 (sNUCB1) and characterized its biophysical and biochemical properties. We show that sNUCB1 exists as a dimer in solution and that each monomer binds two divalent calcium cations. Calcium binding causes conformational changes in sNUCB1 as judged by circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy experiments. Earlier reports suggested that NUCB1 might interact with heterotrimeric G protein α subunits. We show that dimeric calcium-free sNUCB1 binds to expressed Gαi1 and that calcium binding inhibits the interaction. The binding of sNUCB1 to Gαi1 inhibits its basal rate of GDP release and slows its rate and extent of GTPγS uptake. Additionally, our tissue culture experiments show that sNUCB1 prevents receptor-mediated Gαi-dependent inhibition of adenylyl cyclase. Thus, we conclude that sNUCB1 is a calcium-dependent guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor (GDI) for Gαi1. To our knowledge, sNUCB1 is the first example of a calcium-dependent GDI for heterotrimeric G proteins. We also show that the mechanism of GDI activity of sNUCB1 is unique and does not arise from the consensus GoLoco motif found in RGS proteins. We propose that cytoplasmic NUCB1 might function to regulate heterotrimeric G protein trafficking and G protein-coupled receptor-mediated signal transduction pathways.  相似文献

The p21-activated kinases (PAKs) are important effector proteins of the small GTPases Cdc42 and Rac and control cytoskeletal rearrangements and cell proliferation. The direct interaction of PAKs with guanine nucleotide exchange factors from the PIX/Cool family, which is responsible for the localization of PAK kinases to focal complexes in the cell, is mediated by a 24-residue peptide segment in PAKs and an N-terminal src homology 3 (SH3) domain in PIX/Cool. The SH3-binding segment of PAK contains the atypical consensus-binding motif PxxxPR, which is required for unusually high affinity binding. In order to understand the structural basis for the high affinity and specificity of the PIX-PAK interaction, we solved crystal structures for the N-terminal SH3 domain of betaPIX and for the complex of the atypical binding segment of PAK2 with the N-terminal SH3 domain of betaPIX at 0.92 A and 1.3A resolution, respectively. The asymmetric unit of the crystal contains two SH3 domains and two peptide ligands. The bound peptide adopts a conformation that allows for intimate contacts with three grooves on the surface of the SH3 domain that lie between the n-Src and RT-loops. Most notably, the arginine residue of the PxxxPR motif forms a salt-bridge and is tightly coordinated by a number of residues in the SH3 domain. This arginine-specific interaction appears to be the key determinant for the high affinity binding of PAK peptides. Furthermore, C-terminal residues of the peptide engage in additional interactions with the surface of the RT-loop, which significantly increases binding specificity. Compared to a recent NMR structure of a similar complex, our crystal structure reveals an alternate binding mode. Finally, we compare our crystal structure with the recently published betaPIX/Cbl-b complex structure, and suggest the existence of a molecular switch.  相似文献

In structure-function studies on bovine rhodopsin by in vitro site-specific mutagenesis, we have prepared three mutants in the cytoplasmic loop between the putative transmembrane helices E and F. In each mutant, charged amino acid residues were replaced by neutral residues: mutant 1, Glu239----Gln; mutant 2, Lys248----Leu; and mutant 3, Glu247----Gln, Lys248----Leu, and Glu249----Gln. The mutant rhodopsin genes were expressed in monkey kidney (COS-1) cells. After the addition of 11-cis-retinal to the cells, the rhodopsin mutants were purified by immunoaffinity adsorption. Each mutant gave a wild-type rhodopsin visible absorption spectrum. The mutants were assayed for their ability to stimulate the GTPase activity of transducin in a light-dependent manner. While mutants 1 and 3 showed wild-type activity, mutant 2 (Lys248----Leu) was inactive.  相似文献

A protein that has been isolated from Limulus polyphemus amoebocyte membranes binds endotoxin. The protein was purified by two independent methods, organic solvent extraction and affinity chromatography, both followed by gel filtration. Immunologic studies confirm that the protein is a component of amoebocyte membranes. Although without enzymatic activity, the binding protein enhances Limulus lysate gelation. As a membrane-associated endotoxin binding "protein," it may be involved in Limulus lysate coagulation, which is initiated by minute amounts of Gram-negative bacterial endotoxin. The protein has an apparent molecular weight of 80,000.  相似文献

The sequence of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) has been previously identified as a promising candidate for reconstructing Mesozoic-age divergences (Friedlander, Regier, and Mitter 1992, 1994). To test this hypothesis more rigorously, 597 nucleotides of aligned PEPCK coding sequence (approximately 30% of the coding region) were generated from 18 species representing Mesozoic-age lineages of moths (Insecta: Lepidoptera) and outgroup taxa. Relationships among basal Lepidoptera are well established by morphological analysis, providing a strong test for the utility of a gene which has not previously been used in systematics. Parsimony and other phylogenetic analyses were conducted on nucleotides by codon positions (nt1, nt2, nt3) separately and in combination, and on amino acids, for comparison to the test phylogeny. The highest concordance was achieved with nt1 + nt2, for which one of two most-parsimonious trees was identical to the test phylogeny, and with all nucleotides when nt3 was down-weighted sevenfold or higher, for which a single most-parsimonious tree identical to the test phylogeny resulted. Substitutions in nt3 approached saturation in many, but not all, pairwise comparisons and their exclusion or severe downweighting greatly increased the degree of concordance with the test phylogeny. Neighbor-joining analysis confirms this finding. The utility of PEPCK for phylogenetics is demonstrated over a time span for which few other suitable genes are currently available.   相似文献

Zea systematics: ribosomal ITS evidence   总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10  
Ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences were used to evaluate the phylogenetics of Zea and Tripsacum. Maximum likelihood and polymorphism parsimony were used for phylogenetic reconstructions. Zea ITS nucleotide diversity was high compared to other plant species, but approximately equivalent to other maize loci. Coalescence of ITS alleles was rapid relative to other nuclear loci; however, there was still much diversity within populations. Zea and Tripsacum form a clade clearly differentiated from all other Poaceae. Four Zea ITS pseudogenes were identified by phylogenetic position and nucleotide composition. The phylogenetic position of Z. mays ssp. huehuetenangensis was clearly established as basal to the other Z. mays. The ITS phylogeny disfavored a Z. luxurians and Z. diploperennis clade, which conflicted with some previous studies. The introgression of Z. mays alleles into Z. perennis and Z. diploperennis was also established. The ITS data indicated a near contemporary divergence of domesticated maize and its two closest wild relatives.   相似文献

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are ubiquitous heptahelical transmembrane proteins involved in a wide variety of signaling pathways. The work described here on application of unnatural amino acid mutagenesis to two GPCRs, the chemokine receptor CCR5 (a major co-receptor for the human immunodeficiency virus) and rhodopsin (the visual photoreceptor), adds a new dimension to studies of GPCRs. We incorporated the unnatural amino acids p-acetyl-L-phenylalanine (Acp) and p-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine (Bzp) into CCR5 at high efficiency in mammalian cells to produce functional receptors harboring reactive keto groups at three specific positions. We obtained functional mutant CCR5, at levels up to approximately 50% of wild type as judged by immunoblotting, cell surface expression, and ligand-dependent calcium flux. Rhodopsin containing Acp at three different sites was also purified in high yield (0.5-2 microg/10(7) cells) and reacted with fluorescein hydrazide in vitro to produce fluorescently labeled rhodopsin. The incorporation of reactive keto groups such as Acp or Bzp into GPCRs allows their reaction with different reagents to introduce a variety of spectroscopic and other probes. Bzp also provides the possibility of photo-cross-linking to identify precise sites of protein-protein interactions, including GPCR binding to G proteins and arrestins, and for understanding the molecular basis of ligand recognition by chemokine receptors.  相似文献

Crystal structures of engineered human beta 2-adrenergic receptors (ARs) in complex with an inverse agonist ligand, carazolol, provide three-dimensional snapshots of the disposition of seven transmembrane helices and the ligand-binding site of an important G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). As expected, beta 2-AR shares substantial structural similarities with rhodopsin, the dim-light photoreceptor of the rod cell. However, although carazolol and the 11- cis-retinylidene moiety of rhodopsin are situated in the same general binding pocket, the second extracellular (E2) loop structures are quite distinct. E2 in rhodopsin shows beta-sheet structure and forms part of the chromophore-binding site. In the beta 2-AR, E2 is alpha-helical and seems to be distinct from the receptor's active site, allowing a potential entry pathway for diffusible ligands. The structures, together with extensive structure-activity relationship (SAR) data from earlier studies, provide insight about possible structural determinants of ligand specificity and how the binding of agonist ligands might alter receptor conformation. We review key features of the new beta 2-AR structures in the context of recent complementary work on the conformational dynamics of GPCRs. We also report 600 ns molecular dynamics simulations that quantified beta 2-AR receptor mobility in a membrane bilayer environment and show how the binding of an agonist ligand, adrenaline (epinephrine), causes conformational changes to the ligand-binding pocket and neighboring helices.  相似文献

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seven-transmembrane (TM) helical proteins that bind extracellular molecules and transduce signals by coupling to heterotrimeric G proteins in the cytoplasm. The human D4 dopamine receptor is a particularly interesting GPCR because the polypeptide loop linking TM helices 5 and 6 (loop i3) may contain from 2 to 10 similar direct hexadecapeptide repeats. The precise role of loop i3 in D4 receptor function is not known. To clarify the role of loop i3 in G protein coupling, we constructed synthetic genes for the three main D4 receptor variants. D4-2, D4-4, and D4-7 receptors contain 2, 4, and 7 imperfect hexadecapeptide repeats in loop i3, respectively. We expressed and characterized the synthetic genes and found no significant effect of the D4 receptor polymorphisms on antagonist or agonist binding. We developed a cell-based assay where activated D4 receptors coupled to a Pertussis toxin-sensitive pathway to increase intracellular calcium concentration. Studies using receptor mutants showed that the regions of loop i3 near TM helices 5 and 6 were required for G protein coupling. The hexadecapeptide repeats were not required for G protein-mediated calcium flux. Cell membranes containing expressed D4 receptors and receptor mutants were reconstituted with purified recombinant G protein alpha subunits. The results show that each D4 receptor variant is capable of coupling to several G(i)alpha subtypes. Furthermore, there is no evidence of any quantitative difference in G protein coupling related to the number of hexadecapeptide repeats in loop i3. Thus, loop i3 is required for D4 receptors to activate G proteins. However, the polymorphic region of the loop does not appear to affect the specificity or efficiency of G(i)alpha coupling.  相似文献
