High-molecular-weight arginine- and lysine-specific (Kgp) gingipains are essential virulence factors expressed by the oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis. Haemagglutinin/adhesin (HA) regions of these proteases have been implicated in targeting catalytic domains to biological substrates and in other adhesive functions. We now report the crystal structure of the K3 adhesin domain/module of Kgp, which folds into the distinct β-jelly roll sandwich topology previously observed for K2. A conserved structural feature of K3, previously observed in the Kgp K2 module, is the half-way point anchoring of the surface exposed loops via an arginine residue found in otherwise highly variable sequences. Small-angle X-ray scattering data for the recombinant construct K1K2K3 confirmed a structure comprising a tandem repeat of three homologous modules, K1, K2 and K3 while also indicating an unusual 'y'-shape arrangement of the modules connected by variable linker sequences. Only the K2 and K3 modules and a K1K2 construct were observed to be potently haemolytic. K2, K3 and the K1K2 construct showed preferential recognition of haem-albumin over albumin whereas only low affinity binding was detected for K1 and the K1K2K3 construct. The data indicate replication of some biological functions over the three adhesin domains of Kgp while other functions are restricted. 相似文献

Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) are highly important in DNA metabolism and play an essential role in all major DNA repair pathways. SSBs are generally characterised by the presence of an oligonucleotide binding (OB) fold which is able to recognise single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) with high affinity. We discovered two news SSBs in humans (hSSB1 and hSSB2) that both contain a single OB domain followed by a divergent spacer region and a charged C-terminus. We have extensively characterised one of these, hSSB1 (NABP2/OBFC2B), in numerous important DNA processing events such as, in DNA double-stranded break repair and in the response to oxidative DNA damage. Although the structure of hSSB1 bound to ssDNA has recently been determined using X-ray crystallography, the detailed atomic level mechanism of the interaction of hSSB1 with ssDNA in solution has not been established. In this study we report the solution-state backbone chemical shift assignments of the OB domain of hSSB1. In addition, we have utilized NMR to map the DNA-binding interface of hSSB1, revealing major differences between recognition of ssDNA under physiological conditions and in the recently determined crystal structure. Our NMR data in combination with further biophysical and biochemical experiments will allow us to address these discrepancies and shed light onto the structural basis of DNA-binding by hSSB1 in solution. 相似文献

The maintenance of genome stability is essential to prevent loss of genetic information and the development of diseases such as cancer. One of the most common forms of damage to the genetic code is the oxidation of DNA by reactive oxygen species (ROS), of which 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-guanine (8-oxoG) is the most frequent modification. Previous studies have established that human single-stranded DNA-binding protein 1 (hSSB1) is essential for the repair of double-stranded DNA breaks by the process of homologous recombination. Here we show that hSSB1 is also required following oxidative damage. Cells lacking hSSB1 are sensitive to oxidizing agents, have deficient ATM and p53 activation and cannot effectively repair 8-oxoGs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that hSSB1 forms a complex with the human oxo-guanine glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) and is important for hOGG1 localization to the damaged chromatin. In vitro, hSSB1 binds directly to DNA containing 8-oxoguanines and enhances hOGG1 activity. These results underpin the crucial role hSSB1 plays as a guardian of the genome. 相似文献

Ca(2+)-induced inactivation of L-type Ca(2+) is differentially mediated by two C-terminal motifs of the alpha(1C) subunit, L (1572-1587) and K (1599-1651) implicated for calmodulin binding. We found that motif L is composed of a highly selective Ca(2+) sensor and an adjacent Ca(2+)-independent tethering site for calmodulin. The Ca(2+) sensor contributes to higher Ca(2+) sensitivity of the motif L complex with calmodulin. Since only combined mutation of both sites removes Ca(2+)-dependent current decay, the two-site modulation by Ca(2+) and calmodulin may underlie Ca(2+)-induced inactivation of the channel. 相似文献

Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) are required for all known DNA metabolic events such as DNA replication, recombination and repair. While a wealth of structural and functional data is available on the essential human SSB, hSSB1 (NABP2/OBFC2B), the close homolog hSSB2 (NABP1/OBFC2A) remains relatively uncharacterized. Both SSBs possess a well-structured OB (oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding) domain that is able to recognize single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) followed by a flexible carboxyl-tail implicated in the interaction with other proteins. Despite the high sequence similarity of the OB domain, several recent studies have revealed distinct functional differences between hSSB1 and hSSB2. In this study, we show that hSSB2 is able to recognize cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) that form in cellular DNA as a consequence of UV damage. Using a combination of biolayer interferometry and NMR, we determine the molecular details of the binding of the OB domain of hSSB2 to CPD-containing ssDNA, confirming the role of four key aromatic residues in hSSB2 (W59, Y78, W82, and Y89) that are also conserved in hSSB1. Our structural data thus demonstrate that ssDNA recognition by the OB fold of hSSB2 is highly similar to hSSB1, indicating that one SSB may be able to replace the other in any initial ssDNA binding event. However, any subsequent recruitment of other repair proteins most likely depends on the divergent carboxyl-tail and as such is likely to be different between hSSB1 and hSSB2. 相似文献

Single stranded DNA binding proteins (SSBs) are present in all known cellular organisms and are critical for DNA replication, recombination and repair. The SSB from the hyperthermophilic crenarchaeote Sulfolobus solfataricus (SsoSSB) has an unusual domain structure with a single DNA-binding oligonucleotide binding (OB) fold coupled to a flexible C-terminal tail. This ‘simple’ domain organisation differs significantly from other known SSBs, such as human replication protein A (RPA). However, it is conserved in another important human SSB, hSSB1, which we have recently discovered and shown to be essential in the DNA damage response. In this study we report the solution-state backbone and side-chain chemical shift assignments of the OB domain of SsoSSB. In addition, using the recently determined crystal structure, we have utilized NMR to reveal the DNA-binding interface of SsoSSB. These data will allow us to elucidate the structural basis of DNA-binding and shed light onto the molecular mechanism by which these ‘simple’ SSBs interact with single-stranded DNA. 相似文献
