They couple chemical energy, derived from ATP hydrolysis, to the selection, unfolding, and degradation of protein substrates with the appropriate degradation signals. The ClpX component of ClpXP is a hexameric enzyme that recognizes protein substrates and unfolds them in an ATP-dependent reaction. Following unfolding, ClpX translocates the unfolded substrate into the ClpP peptidase for degradation. The best characterized degradation signal is the ssrA-degradation tag, which contains a binding site for ClpX and an adjacent binding site for the SspB adaptor protein. I show that the close proximity of these binding elements causes SspB binding to mask signals needed for ssrA-tag recognition by ClpX. The SspB dimer overcomes this signal masking by tethering itself and bound substrate to ClpX, via docking sites located in the dimeric N-terminal domain of ClpX. Because this N-domain dimer binds only a single SspB subunit, the ClpX hexamer can accommodate just one SspB dimer per hexamer. Other adaptor proteins that use these same tethering sites must compete with SspB for access to ClpXP. Substrates bearing ssrA tags with increased spacing between the SspB and ClpX binding elements are degraded more efficiently at low concentrations by ClpXP. This mechanism in which the adaptor first obstructs and then stimulates substrate recognition may have evolved to permit an additional level of regulation of substrate choice. SspB binding to ssrA-tagged substrate is a highly dynamic process, allowing rapid transfer of substrates from SspB to ClpX. Although the ClpX hexamer is composed of six identical polypeptides, individual subunits assume at least three distinct conformations. Using a hexamer that was engineered to prevent nucleotide hydrolysis, I show that some nucleotide-binding sites in ClpX release ATP rapidly, others release ATP slowly, and at least two sites remain nucleotide free. Occupancy of both the slow sites by ATP and the fast sites by either ATP or ADP is required to bind the degradation tags of protein substrates. The ability of ClpX to retain binding of substrate with ATP or ADP in the fast sites suggests that nucleotide hydrolysis in the fast sites, but not in the slow sites, will allow repeated unfolding attempts without substrate release over multiple ATPase cycles. My results rule out ATPase models including ClpX 6eATP 6 or ADP 6 and also suggest that the enzyme hydrolyzes only a fraction of bound ATP in a single turnover event. Short peptide motifs of ClpX, known as IGF loops, interact with ClpP and change conformation as a response to nucleotide binding by ClpX. As ClpX varies its nucleotide content during the ATP hydrolysis cycle, it also varies its affinity for ClpP. Processing of substrates is coupled to the ATP-hydrolysis cycle of ClpX and appears to modulate ClpX's affinity for ClpP by changing how long each ClpX subunit spends in each nucleotide state.

Joshi 6 CHAPTER ONE An introduction to ClpX, ClpP, SspB, and the AAA+ superfamily of ATPases 7 Part I: Introduction The roles of energy dependent proteolysis Many cytosolic proteins ultimately meet their fate at the hands of ATP-dependent proteases. This destruction is required to remove and recycle proteins that have become damaged by oxidation, heat unfolding and aggregation, or were simply translated from damaged mRNA (Gottesman, 1996). Energy-dependent proteases also destroy folded, native proteins as a signaling event. Examples of this occur as a response to DNA damage. environmental cues, and during the cell cycle (Jenal and Stephens, 2002; Gottesman, 2003; Jenal and Hengge-Aronis, 2003). Some of these same proteases function in quality assurance for the cell. Without quality control, translation of aberrant mRNA messages could result in partial protein products that aggregate or even actively interfere with vital cell processes. Instead, these proteins are recognized and removed by ATP-dependent proteases. Thus, energy dependent proteolysis allows the cell to dynamically control its proteome and respond rapidly to environmental cues. Energy- dependent proteases are all closely related, and belong to a much larger class of proteins called the AAA+ (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities) superfamily whose members all function in macromolecular disassembly (Neuwald et al., 1999; Vale, 2000; Glover and Tkach, 2001; Sauer et al., 2004).

Often regarded as a mere degradative mechanism in destruction of proteins or turnover in maintaining physiological homeostasis, recent research in the field of degradomics has led to the recognition of two main yet unexpected concepts. First, that targeted, limited proteolytic cleavage events by a wide repertoire of proteases are pivotal regulators of most, if not all, physiological and pathological processes. Second, an unexpected in vivo abundance of stable cleaved proteins revealed pervasive, functionally relevant protein processing in normal and diseased tissuefrom 40 to 70% of proteins also occur in vivo as distinct stable proteoforms with undocumented N- or C- termini, meaning these proteoforms are stable functional cleavage products, most with unknown functional implications.

Many crotonases employ oxyanion hole- 19 mediated stabilization of intermediates to catalyze the reaction of coenzyme A (CoA) 20 thioester substrates (e.g., malonyl-CoA, α,β-unsaturated CoA esters) with both nucleophiles 21 and, in the case of enolate intermediates, with varied electrophiles. Reactions of crotonases 22 that proceed via a stabilized oxyanion intermediate include the hydrolysis of substrates 23 including proteins, as well as hydration, isomerization, nucleophilic aromatic substitution, 24 Claisen-type, and cofactor-independent oxidation reactions. The crotonases have a conserved 25 fold formed from a central β-sheet core surrounded by α-helices, which typically 26 oligomerizes to form a trimer, or dimer of trimers. The presence of a common structural 27 platform and mechanisms involving intermediates with diverse reactivity implies that 28 crotonases have considerable potential for biocatalysis and synthetic biology, as supported by 29 pioneering protein engineering studies on them.

  • Hydrogen Bonding in the Ketosteroid Isomerase Oxyanion Hole
    PLoS BIOLOGY Testing Electrostatic Complementarity in Enzyme Catalysis: Hydrogen Bonding in the Ketosteroid Isomerase Oxyanion Hole Daniel A. Kraut1, Paul A. Sigala1, Brandon Pybus2, Corey W. Liu3, Dagmar Ringe2, Gregory A. Petsko2, Daniel Herschlag1* 1 Department of Biochemistry, Stanford University, Stanford, California, United States of America, 2 Department of Biochemistry, Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts, United States of America, 3 Stanford Magnetic Resonance Laboratory, Stanford University, Stanford, California, United States of America A longstanding proposal in enzymology is that enzymes are electrostatically and geometrically complementary to the transition states of the reactions they catalyze and that this complementarity contributes to catalysis. Experimental evaluation of this contribution, however, has been difficult. We have systematically dissected the potential contribution to catalysis from electrostatic complementarity in ketosteroid isomerase. Phenolates, analogs of the transition state and reaction intermediate, bind and accept two hydrogen bonds in an active site oxyanion hole. The binding of substituted phenolates of constant molecular shape but increasing pKa models the charge accumulation in the oxyanion hole during the enzymatic reaction. As charge localization increases, the NMR chemical shifts of protons involved in oxyanion hole hydrogen bonds increase by 0.50–0.76 ppm/pKa unit, suggesting a bond shortening of ;0.02 A˚/pKa unit. Nevertheless, there is little change in binding affinity across a series of substituted phenolates (DDG ¼0.2 kcal/mol/pKa unit). The small effect of increased charge localization on affinity occurs despite the shortening of the hydrogen bonds and a large favorable change in binding enthalpy (DDH ¼2.0 kcal/mol/pKa unit). This shallow dependence of binding affinity suggests that electrostatic complementarity in the oxyanion hole makes at most a modest contribution to catalysis of ;300-fold.
