Elucidating the Energetics of Bacterial Signal Transduction: Insights From Phoq Abstract Bacteria transduce signals across the membrane using two-component systems, consisting of a membrane-spanning sensor histidine kinase and a cytoplasmic response regulator. The histidine kinase, PhoQ, serves as a master regulator of virulence response in S. typhimurium and E. coli. It also is inhibited by divalent cations, particularly Mg2+. While the periplasmic sensor domain of this protein has a unique function, the cytoplasmic portion of this modular protein is made of structurally conserved domains found in many other bacterial sensor kinases. Signal transduction through these conserved domains is thought to be universal; however, the structural and energetic rearrangements that occur during signaling have generated numerous models. Through Bayesian inference we constructed a two-state model based on cysteine crosslinking data and homologous crystal structures. These two signaling states differ in membrane depth of the periplasmic acidic patch as well as the reciprocal displacement of diagonal helices along the dimer interface. Comparative studies of multiple histidine kinases suggest that diagonal displacement of helices is a common mode of signal transduction. A similar scissor-like model was previously ruled out in CheA- linked chemoreceptors; therefore, this new evidence suggests that sensor His-kinase and CheA-linked receptors possess different signaling mechanisms. To unify the various signaling mechanisms that exist for the different protein domains, we built a thermodynamic model based on Linked Equilibrating Domains (LED). We used this model to quantitatively interpret functional data of single-point Ala, Phe and Cys mutants throughout the signal transducing regions of PhoQ. Data from 35 mutants, including both activating and deactivating phenotypes, were globally fit using LED, and gross features such as Vmax and Kd were related to more nuanced population distributions and thermodynamic coupling. LED analysis highlights the principles by which individual signaling domains can be connected to create a functional signal transducer. These principles allow us to quantitatively explain signaling in histidine kinases and are likely to be broadly applicable to many other signal transduction proteins.

(April 2009) Rachel Leann Crowder Department of Biology Texas A&M University Research Advisor: Dr. Michael D. Manson Department of Biology The HAMP (often found in Histidine kinases, Adenylate cyclases, Methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins, and Phosphatases) domain is a widely conserved motif often found in transmembrane signaling proteins in many prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes. It consists of a pair of two amphipathic helices connected by a flexible linker. Recently, the solution structure of the Archeoglobus fulgidis Af1503 HAMP domain was isolated and resolved using NMR. The Af1503 HAMP domain forms a stable four helix bundle with parallel helices that pack into a non-canonical knob-on-knob conformation. Several models have been proposed in methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs) to explain how the four-helix bundle transmits the downward piston movement of transmembrane 2 (TM2) into the signaling domain, inhibiting kinase activity.

Increased cellular c-di-GMP levels lead to stable cell attachment, which in Pseudomonas fluorescens requires the transmembrane receptor LapD. LapD exhibits a conserved and widely used modular architecture containing a HAMP domain and degenerate diguanylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase domains. c-di-GMP binding to the LapD degenerate phosphodiesterase domain is communicated via the HAMP relay to the periplasmic domain, triggering sequestration of the protease LapG, thus preventing cleavage of the surface adhesin LapA.

This effect, termed epistasis, is critical in population genetics, drug resistance, and immune escape; however, the effect of epistasis on the level of protein fitness is less well characterized. We generated and characterized a 6615-member library of all two-amino acid combinations in a highly mutable loop of a virus-like particle. This particle is a model of protein self- assembly and a promising vehicle for drug delivery and imaging. In addition to characterizing the effect of all double mutants on assembly, thermostability, and acid stability, we observed many instances of epistasis, in which combinations of mutations are either more deleterious or more beneficial than expected. These results were used to generate rules governing the effects of multiple mutations on the self-assembly of the virus-like particle. rotein evolution occurs through complex pathways, often have a significant impact on biotechnology in the coming involving nonintuitive leaps between functional var- decades.23,24 To maximize this potential, it is important to P − iants.1 3 These paths include local minima and maxima, in understand how non-native functions can be hindered by which the effect of a given mutation depends entirely on the unanticipated epistatic effects.

  • Role of Transglutaminase 2 in Cell Death, Survival, and Fibrosis
    cells Review Role of Transglutaminase 2 in Cell Death, Survival, and Fibrosis Hideki Tatsukawa * and Kiyotaka Hitomi Cellular Biochemistry Laboratory, Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nagoya University, Tokai National Higher Education and Research System, Nagoya 464-8601, Aichi, Japan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +81-52-747-6808 Abstract: Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) is a ubiquitously expressed enzyme catalyzing the crosslink- ing between Gln and Lys residues and involved in various pathophysiological events. Besides this crosslinking activity, TG2 functions as a deamidase, GTPase, isopeptidase, adapter/scaffold, protein disulfide isomerase, and kinase. It also plays a role in the regulation of hypusination and serotonylation. Through these activities, TG2 is involved in cell growth, differentiation, cell death, inflammation, tissue repair, and fibrosis. Depending on the cell type and stimulus, TG2 changes its subcellular localization and biological activity, leading to cell death or survival. In normal unstressed cells, intracellular TG2 exhibits a GTP-bound closed conformation, exerting prosurvival functions. However, upon cell stimulation with Ca2+ or other factors, TG2 adopts a Ca2+-bound open confor- mation, demonstrating a transamidase activity involved in cell death or survival. These functional discrepancies of TG2 open form might be caused by its multifunctional nature, the existence of splicing variants, the cell type and stimulus, and the genetic backgrounds and variations of the mouse models used. TG2 is also involved in the phagocytosis of dead cells by macrophages and in fibrosis during tissue repair. Here, we summarize and discuss the multifunctional and controversial Citation: Tatsukawa, H.; Hitomi, K. roles of TG2, focusing on cell death/survival and fibrosis.

Gkoutos, M.Sc., and Christopher A.

However, it is dimerization and heterodimerization. However, the evidence proposed that for the purpose of signalling, the domain on the nature of the dimers and their role in GPCR swapped dimer and the corresponding contact dimer are activation is inconclusive.

Previous functional studies also suggested that dimerization inhibits the biological activity of a CD45 chimeric RPTP and the catalytic activity of an isolated RPTP␴ D1 catalytic domain. Most recently, we have also shown that enforced dimerization in- hibits the biological activity of full-length RPTP␣ in a wedge-dependent manner. The physiological significance of such inhibition is unknown, due to a lack of understanding of how RPTP␣ dimerization is regulated in vivo. In this study, we show that transiently expressed cell surface RPTP␣ exists predominantly as homodimers, suggesting that dimerization-mediated inhibition of RPTP␣ biological activity is likely to be physiologically relevant. Consistent with our published and unpublished crystallographic data, we show that mutations in the wedge region of D1 catalytic domain and deletion of the entire D2 catalytic domain independently reduced but did not abolish RPTP␣ homodimerization, suggesting that both domains are critically involved but that neither is essential for homodimerization.
