The molecular mechanisms by which S10 can act as a translation or a transcription factor are not understood. We used complementation assays and recombineering to delineate regions of S10 dispensable for antitermination, and determined the crystal structure of a transcriptionally active NusB-S10 complex. In this complex, S10 adopts the same fold as in the 30S subunit and is blocked from simultaneous association with the ribosome. Mass spectrometric mapping of UV-induced crosslinks revealed that the NusB-S10 complex presents an intermolecular, composite, and contiguous binding surface for RNAs containing BoxA antitermination signals. Furthermore, S10 overproduction complemented a nusB null phenotype. These data demonstrate that S10 and NusB together form a BoxA-binding module, that NusB facilitates entry of S10 into the transcription machinery, and that S10 represents a central hub in processive antitermination."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.molcel.2008.10.028"],["dc.identifier.isi","000262184200009"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19111659"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/52668"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Cell Press"],["dc.relation.issn","1097-2765"],["dc.title","Structural and Functional Analysis of the E. coli NusB-S10 Transcription Antitermination Complex"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The RES complex from yeast comprises three proteins, Snu17p, Bud13p and Pml1p. Snu17p acts as a central platform that concomitantly binds the Bud13p and Pml1p subunits via short peptide epitopes. As a step to decipher the molecular architecture of the RES complex, we have determined crystal structures of full-length Pml1p and N-terminally truncated Pml1p. The first 50 residues of full-length Pml1p, encompassing the Snu17p-binding region, are disordered, showing that Pml1p binds to Snu17p via an intrinsically unstructured region. The remainder of Pml1p folds as a forkhead-associated (FHA) domain, which is expanded by a number of noncanonical elements compared with known FHA domains from other proteins. An atypical N-terminal appendix runs across one beta-sheet and thereby stabilizes the domain as shown by deletion experiments. FHA domains are thought to constitute phosphopeptide-binding elements. Consistently, a sulfate ion was found at the putative phosphopeptide-binding loops of full-length Pml1p. The N-terminally truncated version of the protein lacked a similar phosphopeptide mimic but retained an almost identical structure. A long loop neighboring the putative phosphopeptide-binding site was disordered in both structures. Comparison with other FHA domain proteins suggests that this loop adopts a defined conformation upon ligand binding and thereby confers ligand specificity. Our results show that in the RES complex, an FHA domain of Pml1p is flexibly tethered via an unstructured N-terminal region to Snu17p. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

A homologous complex is present in activated human spliceosomes. In many components of the spliceosome, RNA recognition motifs (RRMs) serve as versatile protein-RNA or protein-protein interaction platforms. Here, we show that in the retention and splicing complex, an atypical RRM of the Snu17p (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein-associated protein 17) subunit acts as a scaffold that organizes the other two constituents, Bud13p (bud site selection 13) and Pml1p (pre-mRNA leakage 1). GST pull-down experiments and size exclusion chromatography revealed that Snu17p constitutes the central platform of the complex, whereas Bud13p and Pml1p do not interact with each other. Fluorimetric structure probing showed the entire Bud13p and the N-terminal third of Pml1p to be natively disordered in isolation. Mutational analysis and tryptophan fluorescence confirmed that a conserved tryptophan-containing motif in the C terminus of Bud13p binds to the core RRM of Snu17p, whereas a different interaction surface encompassing a C-terminal extension of the Snu17p RRM is required to bind an N-terminal peptide of Pml1p. Isothermal titration calorimetry revealed 1: 1 interaction stoichiometries, large negative binding entropies, and dissociation constants in the low nanomolar and micromolar ranges for the Snu17p-Bud13p and the Snu17p-Pml1p interactions, respectively. Our results demonstrate that the noncanonical Snu17p RRM concomitantly binds multiple ligand proteins via short, intrinsically unstructured peptide epitopes and thereby acts as a platform that displays functional modules of the ligands, such as a forkhead-associated domain of Pml1p and a conserved polylysine motif of Bud13p."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Max-Planck-Society"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1074/jbc.M804977200"],["dc.identifier.isi","000260893700018"],["dc.identifier.pmid","18809678"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/52909"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Amer Soc Biochemistry Molecular Biology Inc"],["dc.relation.issn","0021-9258"],["dc.title","An Unusual RNA Recognition Motif Acts as a Scaffold for Multiple Proteins in the Pre-mRNA Retention and Splicing Complex"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Here, we clarify the molecular photoswitching mechanism of asFP595, a green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like protein that can be transferred from a nonfluorescent \"off\" to a fluorescent \"on\" state and back again, by green and blue light, respectively. To this end, we establish reversible photoswitching of fluorescence in whole protein crystals and show that the switching kinetics in the crystal is identical with that in solution. Subsequent x-ray analysis demonstrated that upon the absorption of a green photon, the chromophore isomerizes from a trans (off) to a cis (on) state. Molecular dynamics calculations suggest that isomerization occurs through a bottom hula twist mechanism with concomitant rotation of both bonds of the chromophoric methine ring bridge.
