Snapshots of the Signaling Complex DesK:DesR in Different Functional States Using Rational Mutagenesis and X-ray Crystallography

[Abstract]  We have developed protocols to generate site-specific variants of the histidine-kinase DesK and its cognate response regulator DesR, conducive to trapping different signaling states of the proteins. Co-expression of both partners in E. coli, ensuring an excess of the regulator, was essential for soluble production of the DesK:DesR complexes and further purification. The 3D structures of the complex trapped in the phosphotransferase and in the phosphatase reaction steps, were solved by X-ray crystallography using molecular replacement. The solution was not trivial, and we found that in silico-generated models used as search probes, were instrumental to succeeding in placing a large portion of the complex in the asymmetric unit. Electron density maps were then clear enough ... [摘要]  我们已经开发了产生组氨酸激酶DesK及其同源反应调节物DesR的位点特异性变体的方案,有助于捕获蛋白质的不同信号状态。两个合作伙伴在大肠杆菌中的共表达,确保调节剂过量,对于DesK:DesR复合物的可溶性生产和进一步纯化是至关重要的。通过使用分子置换的X射线晶体学解决了捕获在磷酸转移酶和磷酸酶反应步骤中的复合物的3D结构。该解决方案不是微不足道的,我们发现在用作搜索探针的硅片生成的模型中,有助于将大部分复合物放置在不对称单元中。电子密度图就足够清楚了,可以进行人工建模,获得完整的原子模型。这些方法有助于解决细菌信号领域的主要挑战,即获得稳定的激酶:调节复合物,具有不同的构象状态,适用于高分辨率晶体学研究。
【背景】关于细菌信号复合物,特别是双组分系统(TCS)的结构信息仍然很少(Casino et al。,2009; Gao and Stock,2009)。 TCS包含几乎所有细菌中的感觉组氨酸激酶(HK)和响应调节剂(RR)配偶体,它们允许细胞感知环境并通过适应性反应相应地反应。尽管在信号传输中这种切换机制的重要性(Trajtenberg等,2016),结构信息对于采用不同功能状态的TCS复合体甚至更为有限。我们研究了DesK-DesR途径(de Mendoza,2014),一种来自枯草芽孢杆菌的TCS,其参与调节细胞膜组成以适应降低双层流动性的线索,如冷休克。 ...

[Abstract]  Isolation of ribosomal particles is an essential step in the study of ribosomal components as well as in the analysis of trans-acting factors that interact with the ribosome to regulate protein synthesis and modulate the expression profile of the cell in response to different environmental conditions. In this protocol, we describe a procedure for the isolation of 70S ribosomes from the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (hereafter Synechocystis). We have successfully used this protocol in our study of the cyanobacterial ribosomal-associated protein LrtA, which is a homologue of bacterial HPF (hibernation promoting factor) (Galmozzi et al., 2016). [摘要]  核糖体颗粒的分离是研究核糖体组分以及与核糖体相互作用以调节蛋白质合成并调节细胞表达谱的反式因子的分析中必不可少的步骤响应不同的环境条件。在本协议中,我们描述了从单细胞蓝细菌集胞藻分离70S核糖体的过程。 PCC 6803(以下简称集胞藻)。我们已经成功地使用这个方案来研究蓝细菌核糖体相关蛋白LrtA,它是细菌HPF(冬眠促进因子)的同系物(Galmozzi等人,2016)。

背景 据报道蓝藻核糖体几乎没有生物化学研究。已经通过差速离心分离70S核糖体颗粒,然后通过二维电泳分析核糖体蛋白质(Sato et al。,et al。 ,1998)。核糖体也已经从聚球藻(Spechococcus)进行制备。 PCC 6301细胞使用组合差速离心和蔗糖步骤梯度的方案(Sugita等人,2000)。通过差速离心分离细胞提取物也被用于制备核糖体样品用于在不同的聚球藻菌株中开发体外翻译系统(Mutsuda和Sugiura,2006 )。基于针对聚球藻(Sugita等人,2000)所述的方法,本文所述的针对集胞藻的方法允许使用以下方式纯化核糖体颗粒线性蔗糖梯度的超速离心。
