Here we address how N-terminal methionine excision (NME), a ubiquitous process crucial for the maturation of over 50% of the bacterial proteome, occurs in a timely and selective manner in this crowded environment. In bacteria, NME is mediated by 2 essential enzymes, peptide deformylase (PDF) and methionine aminopeptidase (MAP). We show that the reaction of MAP on ribosome-bound nascent chains approaches diffusion-limited rates, allowing immediate methionine excision of optimal substrates after deformylation. Specificity is achieved by kinetic competition of NME with translation elongation and by regulation from other RPBs, which selectively narrow the processing time window for suboptimal substrates. A mathematical model derived from the data accurately predicts cotranslational NME efficiency in the cytosol. Our results demonstrate how a fundamental enzymatic activity is reshaped by its associated macromolecular environment to optimize both efficiency and selectivity, and provides a platform to study other cotranslational protein biogenesis pathways.</p>","PeriodicalId":21123,"journal":{"name":"Retrovirology","volume":"6 1","pages":"23050-23060"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1073/pnas.1912264116","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88340562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It specifically binds the three identical conserved hydrophobic pockets at the base of the gp41 N-trimer with sub-femtomolar affinity. This extremely high affinity for the transiently exposed gp41 trimer provides a reserve of binding energy (resistance capacitor) to prevent the viral resistance pathway of stepwise accumulation of modest affinity-disrupting mutations. Such modest mutations would not affect PIE12-trimer potency and therefore not confer a selective advantage. Viral passaging in the presence of escalating PIE12-trimer concentrations ultimately selected for PIE12-trimer resistant populations, but required an extremely extended timeframe (> 1 year) in comparison to other entry inhibitors. Eventually, HIV developed resistance to PIE12-trimer by mutating Q577 in the gp41 pocket.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Using deep sequence analysis, we identified three mutations at Q577 (R, N and K) in our two PIE12-trimer resistant pools. Each point mutant is capable of conferring the majority of PIE12-trimer resistance seen in the polyclonal pools. Surface plasmon resonance studies demonstrated substantial affinity loss between PIE12-trimer and the Q577R-mutated gp41 pocket. A high-resolution X-ray crystal structure of PIE12 bound to the Q577R pocket revealed the loss of two hydrogen bonds, the repositioning of neighboring residues, and a small decrease in buried surface area. The Q577 mutations in an NL4-3 backbone decreased viral growth rates. Fitness was ultimately rescued in resistant viral pools by a suite of compensatory mutations in gp120 and gp41, of which we identified seven candidates from our sequencing data.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>These data show that PIE12-trimer exhibits a high barrier to resistance, as extended passaging was required to develop resistant virus with normal growth rates. The primary resistance mutation, Q577R/N/K, found in the conserved gp41 pocket, substantially decreases inhibitor affinity but also damages viral fitness, and candidate compensatory mutations in gp160 have been identified.</p>","PeriodicalId":21123,"journal":{"name":"Retrovirology","volume":"16 1","pages":"28"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2019-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6805555/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10849366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
