M. H. Lee H. S. Pankratz S. Wang R. A. Scott M. G. Finnegan M. K. Johnson J. A. Ippolito D. W. Christianson R. P. Hausinger 《Protein science : a publication of the Protein Society》1993,2(6):1042-1052
The Klebsiella aerogenes ureE gene product was previously shown to facilitate assembly of the urease metallocenter (Lee, M.H., et al., 1992, J. Bacteriol. 174, 4324-4330). UreE protein has now been purified and characterized. Although it behaves as a soluble protein, UreE is predicted to possess an amphipathic beta-strand and exhibits unusually tight binding to phenyl-Sepharose resin. Immunogold electron microscopic studies confirm that UreE is a cytoplasmic protein. Each dimeric UreE molecule (M(r) = 35,000) binds 6.05 + 0.25 nickel ions (Kd of 9.6 +/- 1.3 microM) with high specificity according to equilibrium dialysis measurements. The nickel site in UreE was probed by X-ray absorption and variable-temperature magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopies. The data are most consistent with the presence of Ni(II) in pseudo-octahedral geometry with 3-5 histidyl imidazole ligands. The remaining ligands are nitrogen or oxygen donors. UreE apoprotein has been crystallized and analyzed by X-ray diffraction methods. Addition of nickel ion to apoprotein crystals leads to the development of fractures, consistent with a conformational change upon binding nickel ion. We hypothesize that UreE binds intracellular nickel ion and functions as a nickel donor during metallocenter assembly into the urease apoprotein. 相似文献

The urease accessory protein encoded by ureE from Klebsiella aerogenes is proposed to function in Ni(II) delivery to the urease apoprotein. Wild-type UreE contains a histidine-rich region at its
carboxyl terminus and binds 5–6 Ni per dimer, whereas the functionally active but truncated H144*UreE lacks the histidine-rich
motif and binds only two Ni per dimer [Brayman TG, Hausinger RP (1996) J Bacteriol 178 : 5410-5416]. For both proteins, Cu(II),
Co(II), and Zn(II) ions compete for the Ni-binding sites. In order to characterize the coordination environments of bound
metals, especially features that are unique to Ni, the Ni-, Cu-, and Co-bound forms of H144*UreE were studied by a combination
of EPR, ESEEM, hyperfine-shifted 1H-NMR, XAS, and RR spectroscopic methods. For each metal ion, the two binding sites per homodimer were spectroscopically distinguishable.
For example, the two Ni-binding sites each have pseudo-octahedral geometry in an N/O coordination environment, but differ
in their number of histidine donors. The two Cu-binding sites have tetragonal geometry with two histidine donors each; however,
the second Cu ion is bound by at least one cysteine donor in addition to the N/O-type donors found for the first Cu ion. Two
Co ions are bound to H144*UreE in pseudo-octahedral geometry with N/O coordination, but the sites differ in the number of
histidine donors that can be observed by NMR. The differences in coordination for each type of metal ion are relevant to the
proposed function of UreE to selectively facilitate Ni insertion into urease in vivo.

Urease, the most efficient enzyme so far discovered, depends on the presence of nickel ions in the catalytic site for its activity. The transformation of inactive apo-urease into active holo-urease requires the insertion of two Ni(II) ions in the substrate binding site, a process that involves the interaction of four accessory proteins named UreD, UreF, UreG and UreE. This study, carried out using calorimetric and NMR-based structural analysis, is focused on the interaction between UreE and UreG from Sporosarcina pasteurii, a highly ureolytic bacterium. Isothermal calorimetric protein–protein titrations revealed the occurrence of a binding event between SpUreE and SpUreG, entailing two independent steps with positive cooperativity (Kd1 = 42 ± 9 μM; Kd2 = 1.7 ± 0.3 μM). This was interpreted as indicating the formation of the (UreE)2(UreG)2 hetero-oligomer upon binding of two UreG monomers onto the pre-formed UreE dimer. The molecular details of this interaction were elucidated using high-resolution NMR spectroscopy. The occurrence of SpUreE chemical shift perturbations upon addition of SpUreG was investigated and analyzed to establish the protein–protein interaction site. The latter appears to involve the Ni(II) binding site as well as mobile portions on the C-terminal and the N-terminal domains. Docking calculations based on the information obtained from NMR provided a structural basis for the protein–protein contact site. The high sequence and structural similarity within these protein classes suggests a generality of the interaction mode among homologous proteins. The implications of these results on the molecular details of the urease activation process are considered and analyzed. 相似文献

UreE-UreG Complex Facilitates Nickel Transfer and Preactivates GTPase of UreG in Helicobacter pylori
Xinming Yang Hongyan Li Tsz-Pui Lai Hongzhe Sun 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2015,290(20):12474-12485
The pathogenicity of Helicobacter pylori relies heavily on urease, which converts urea to ammonia to neutralize the stomach acid. Incorporation of Ni2+ into the active site of urease requires a battery of chaperones. Both metallochaperones UreE and UreG play important roles in the urease activation. In this study, we demonstrate that, in the presence of GTP and Mg2+, UreG binds Ni2+ with an affinity (Kd) of ∼0.36 μm. The GTPase activity of Ni2+-UreG is stimulated by both K+ (or NH4+) and HCO3− to a biologically relevant level, suggesting that K+/NH4+ and HCO3− might serve as GTPase elements of UreG. We show that complexation of UreE and UreG results in two protein complexes, i.e. 2E-2G and 2E-G, with the former being formed only in the presence of both GTP and Mg2+. Mutagenesis studies reveal that Arg-101 on UreE and Cys-66 on UreG are critical for stabilization of 2E-2G complex. Combined biophysical and bioassay studies show that the formation of 2E-2G complex not only facilitates nickel transfer from UreE to UreG, but also enhances the binding of GTP. This suggests that UreE might also serve as a structural scaffold for recruitment of GTP to UreG. Importantly, we demonstrate for the first time that UreE serves as a bridge to grasp Ni2+ from HypA, subsequently donating it to UreG. The study expands our horizons on the molecular details of nickel translocation among metallochaperones UreE, UreG, and HypA, which further extends our knowledge on the urease maturation process. 相似文献
