  • Biophysical Characterization of the Complex between Human Papillomavirus E6 Protein and Synapse-associated Protein 97
  • 2011

    • The E6 protein of human papillomavirus (HPV) exhibits complex interaction patterns with several host proteins, and their roles in HPV-mediated oncogenesis have proved challenging to study. Here we use several biophysical techniques to explore the binding of E6 to the three PDZ domains of the tumor suppressor protein synapse-associated protein 97 (SAP97). All of the potential binding sites in SAP97 bind E6 with micromolar affinity. The dissociation rate constants govern the different affinities of HPV16 and HPV18 E6 for SAP97. Unexpectedly, binding is not mutually exclusive, and all three PDZ domains can simultaneously bind E6. Intriguingly, this quaternary complex has the same apparent hydrodynamic volume as the unliganded PDZ region, suggesting that a conformational change occurs in the PDZ region upon binding, a conclusion supported by kinetic experiments. Using NMR, we discovered a new mode of interaction between E6 and PDZ: a subset of residues distal to the canonical binding pocket in the PDZ(2) domain exhibited noncanonical interactions with the E6 protein. This is consistent with a larger proportion of the protein surface defining binding specificity, as compared with that reported previously.

  • Deciphering the kinetic binding mechanism of dimeric ligands, using a potent plasma-stable dimeric inhibitor of postsynaptic density protein-95 as an example
  • 2010

    • Dimeric ligands can be potent inhibitors of protein-protein or enzyme-substrate interactions. They have increased affinity and specificity towards their targets due to their ability to bind simultaneously to two binding sites and are therefore very attractive in drug design. However, few studies have addressed the kinetic mechanism of interaction of such bivalent ligands. We have investigated the binding interaction of a recently identified potent plasma-stable dimeric pentapeptide of PDZ1-2 of PSD-95 using protein engineering in combination with fluorescence polarisation, isothermal titration calorimetry and stopped-flow fluorimetry. Our experiments demonstrate that binding occurs via a two-step process, where an initial binding to either one of the two PDZ domains is followed by an intramolecular step, which produces the bidentate complex. We have determined all rate constants involved in the binding reaction and we also find evidence for a conformational transition of the complex. Our data demonstrate the importance of a slow dissociation for a successful dimeric ligand, but also highlight the possibility of optimizing the intramolecular association rate. The results may therefore aid the design of dimeric inhibitors in general.

  • Two conserved residues govern the salt and pH dependencies of the binding reaction of a PDZ domain
  • 2006

    • PDZ domains are protein-protein interaction modules found in hundreds of human proteins. Their binding reactions are sensitive to variations in salt and pH but the basis of the respective dependence has not been clear. We investigated the binding reaction between PSD-95 PDZ3 and a peptide corresponding to a native ligand with protein engineering in conjunction with stopped-flow and equilibrium fluorimetry and found that the two conserved residues Arg-318 and His-372 were responsible for the salt and pH dependencies, respectively. The basis of the salt-dependent variation of the affinity was explored by mutating all charged residues in and around the peptide-binding pocket. Arg-318 was found to be crucial, as mutation to alanine obliterated the effect of chloride on the binding constants. The direct interaction of chloride with Arg-318 was demonstrated by time-resolved urea denaturation experiments, where the Arg-318 --> Ala mutant was less stabilized by addition of chloride as compared with wild-type PDZ3. We also demonstrated that protonation of His-372 was responsible for the increase of the equilibrium dissociation constant at low pH. Both chloride concentration and pH (during ischemia) vary in the postsynaptic density, where PSD-95 is present, and the physiological buffer conditions may thus modulate the interaction between PSD-95 and its ligands through binding of chloride and protons to the "molecular switches" Arg-318 and His-372, respectively.

  • Fast Association and Slow Transitions in the Interaction between Two Intrinsically Disordered Protein Domains
  • 2012

    • Proteins that contain long disordered regions are prevalent in the proteome and frequently associated with diseases. However, the mechanisms by which such intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) recognize their targets are not well understood. Here, we report the first experimental investigation of the interaction kinetics of the nuclear co-activator binding domain of CREB-binding protein and the activation domain from the p160 transcriptional co-activator for thyroid hormone and retinoid receptors. Both protein domains are intrinsically disordered in the free state and synergistically fold upon binding each other. Using the stopped-flow technique, we found that the binding reaction is fast, with an association rate constant of 3 x 10(7) M-1 s(-1) at 277 K. Mutation of a conserved buried intermolecular salt bridge showed that electrostatics govern the rapid association. Furthermore, upon mutation of the salt bridge or at high salt concentration, an additional kinetic phase was detected (similar to 20 and similar to 40 s(-1), respectively, at 277 K), suggesting that the salt bridge may steer formation of the productive bimolecular complex in an intramolecular step. Finally, we directly measured slow kinetics for the IDP domains (similar to 1 s(-1) at 277 K) related to conformational transitions upon binding. Together, the experiments demonstrate that the interaction involves several steps and accumulation of intermediate states. Our data are consistent with an induced fit mechanism, in agreement with previous simulations. We propose that the slow transitions may be a consequence of the multipartner interactions of IDPs.

  • Sequence-specific Long Range networks in PSD-95/Discs Large/ZO-1 (PDZ) Domains Tune Their Binding Selectivity
  • 2011

    • Protein-protein interactions mediated by modular protein domains are critical for cell scaffolding, differentiation, signaling, and ultimately, evolution. Given the vast number of ligands competing for binding to a limited number of domain families, it is often puzzling how specificity can be achieved. Selectivity may be modulated by intradomain allostery, whereby a remote residue is energetically connected to the functional binding site via side chain or backbone interactions. Whereas several energetic pathways, which could mediate intradomain allostery, have been predicted in modular protein domains, there is a paucity of experimental data to validate their existence and roles. Here, we have identified such functional energetic networks in one of the most common protein-protein interaction modules, the PDZ domain. We used double mutant cycles involving site-directed mutagenesis of both the PDZ domain and the peptide ligand, in conjunction with kinetics to capture the fine energetic details of the networks involved in peptide recognition. We performed the analysis on two homologous PDZ-ligand complexes and found that the energetically coupled residues differ for these two complexes. This result demonstrates that amino acid sequence rather than topology dictates the allosteric pathways. Furthermore, our data support a mechanism whereby the whole domain and not only the binding pocket is optimized for a specific ligand. Such cross-talk between binding sites and remote residues may be used to fine tune target selectivity.

  • The kinetics of PDZ domain-ligand interactions and implications for the binding mechanism
  • 2005
  • Ingår i: Journal of Biological Chemistry. - 0021-9258 .- 1083-351X. ; 280:41, s. 34805-34812

    • PDZ domains are protein adapter modules present in a few hundred human proteins. They play important roles in scaffolding and signal transduction. PDZ domains usually bind to the C termini of their target proteins. To assess the binding mechanism of this interaction we have performed the first in-solution kinetic study for PDZ domains and peptides corresponding to target ligands. Both PDZ3 from postsynaptic density protein 95 and PDZ2 from protein tyrosine phosphatase L1 bind their respective target peptides through an apparent A + B --> A.B mechanism without rate-limiting conformational changes. But a mutant with a fluorescent probe (Trp) outside of the binding pocket suggests that slight changes in the structure take place upon binding in protein tyrosine phosphatase-L1 PDZ2. For PDZ3 from postsynaptic density protein 95 the pH dependence of the binding reaction is consistent with a one-step mechanism with one titratable group. The salt dependence of the interaction shows that the formation of electrostatic interactions is rate-limiting for the association reaction but not for dissociation of the complex.

  • Processing of macromolecular heparin by heparanase
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Journal of Biological Chemistry. - 0021-9258 .- 1083-351X. ; 278:37, s. 35152-35158

    • Heparanase is an endo-glucuronidase expressed in a variety of tissues and cells that selectively cleaves extracellular and cell-surface heparan sulfate. Here we propose that this enzyme is involved also in the processing of serglycin heparin proteoglycan in mouse mast cells. In this process, newly synthesized heparin chains (60-100 kDa) are degraded to fragments (10-20 kDa) similar in size to commercially available heparin (Jacobsson, K. G., and Lindahl, U. (1987) Biochem. J. 246, 409-415). A fraction of these fragments contains the specific pentasaccharide sequence required for high affinity binding to antithrombin implicated with anticoagulant activity. Rat skin heparin, which escapes processing in vivo, was used as a substrate in reaction with recombinant human heparanase. An incubation product of commercial heparin size retained the specific pentasaccharide sequence, although oligosaccharides (3-4 kDa) containing this sequence could be degraded by the same enzyme. Commercial heparin was found to be a powerful inhibitor (I50 approximately 20 nM expressed as disaccharide unit, approximately 0.7 nM polysaccharide) of heparanase action toward antithrombin-binding oligosaccharides. Cells derived from a serglycin-processing mouse mastocytoma expressed a protein highly similar to other mammalian heparanases. These findings strongly suggest that the intracellular processing of the heparin proteoglycan polysaccharide chains is catalyzed by heparanase, which primarily cleaves target structures distinct from the antithrombin-binding sequence.

  • The plastic energy landscape of protein folding : a triangular folding mechanism with an equilibrium intermediate for a small protein domain
  • 2010

    • Protein domains usually fold without or with only transiently populated intermediates, possibly to avoid misfolding, which could result in amyloidogenic disease. Whether observed intermediates are productive and obligatory species on the folding reaction pathway or dispensable by-products is a matter of debate. Here, we solved the crystal structure of a small protein domain, SAP97 PDZ2 I342W C378A, and determined its folding pathway. The presence of a folding intermediate was demonstrated both by single and double-mixing kinetic experiments using urea-induced (un) folding as well as ligand-induced folding. This protein domain was found to fold via a triangular scheme, where the folding intermediate could be either on-or off-pathway, depending on the experimental conditions. Furthermore, we found that the intermediate was present at equilibrium, which is rarely seen in folding reactions of small protein domains. The folding mechanism observed here illustrates the roughness and plasticity of the protein folding energy landscape, where several routes may be employed to reach the native state. The results also reconcile the folding mechanisms of topological variants within the PDZ domain family.

  • An on-pathway intermediate in the folding of a PDZ domain
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Journal of Biological Chemistry. - 0021-9258 .- 1083-351X. ; 282:12, s. 8568-8572

    • The folding pathways of some proteins include the population of partially structured species en route to the native state. Identification and characterization of these folding intermediates are particularly difficult as they are often only transiently populated and play different mechanistic roles, being either on-pathway productive species or off-pathway kinetic traps. To define the role of folding intermediates, a quantitative analysis of the folding and unfolding rate constants over a wide range of denaturant concentration is often required. Such a task is further complicated by the reversible nature of the folding reaction, which implies the observed kinetics to be governed by a complex combination of different microscopic rate constants. Here, we tackled this problem by measuring directly the folding rate constant under highly denaturing conditions, namely by inducing the folding of a PDZ domain through a quasi-irreversible binding reaction with a specific peptide. In analogy with previous works based on hydrogen exchange experiments, we present evidence that the folding pathway of the PDZ domain involves the formation of an obligatory on-pathway intermediate. The results presented exemplify a novel type of kinetic test to detect an on-pathway folding intermediate.

  • A Frustrated Binding Interface for Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Journal of Biological Chemistry. - 0021-9258 .- 1083-351X. ; 289:9, s. 5528-5533

    • Background: Protein-protein interactions often involve intrinsically disordered protein domains. Results: The binding interface between two disordered protein domains is suboptimal, or frustrated, with regard to the energetics. Conclusion: The frustration likely results from the promiscuous binding behavior of these disordered domains. Significance: Suboptimal binding interfaces may be common among intrinsically disordered proteins with multiple binding partners. Intrinsically disordered proteins are very common in the eukaryotic proteome, and many of them are associated with diseases. Disordered proteins usually undergo a coupled binding and folding reaction and often interact with many different binding partners. Using double mutant cycles, we mapped the energy landscape of the binding interface for two interacting disordered domains and found it to be largely suboptimal in terms of interaction free energies, despite relatively high affinity. These data depict a frustrated energy landscape for interactions involving intrinsically disordered proteins, which is likely a result of their functional promiscuity.
