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]  Serodiagnosis of tuberculosis using purified native antigens is one of the approach for the early detection of TB. This protocol gives the details for growing Mycobacterium tuberculosis in liquid culture and one proven way to get a good yield of the total secreted antigens in the culture supernatant. In addition the procedure for purification of the 38 kDa antigen from the total culture filtrate antigens is also explained. 38 kDa is one of the specific antigen for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and in this particular study it was used as one of the antigens for serodiagnosis of different category of tuberculosis patients. [摘要]  使用纯化的天然抗原的结核病的血清诊断是早期检测TB的方法之一。 该方案提供了在液体培养物中生长结核分枝杆菌的细节,以及一种在培养物上清液中获得总分泌抗原的良好产量的证明的方法。 此外,还解释了从总培养物滤液抗原中纯化38kDa抗原的方法。 38kDa是结核分枝杆菌复合物的特异性抗原之一,并且在该特定研究中,其用作不同类别的结核病患者的血清诊断的抗原之一。
