This paper reports kinetic and mechanistic studies of OAS1-catalyzed dimerization of ATP to form 2′-5′-diadenylate and pyrophosphate (PP<sub>i</sub>), the first step in ATP polymerization. Major findings include the following: (1) Reaction progress curves for the production of PP<sub>i</sub> are biphasic, characterized by a presteady-state lag followed by the linear, steady-state production of PP<sub>i</sub>. (2) The dependence of steady-state velocity on ATP concentration is sigmoidal and can be described by a rate law derived for a mechanism involving enzyme-catalyzed substrate dimerization. (3) Steady-state velocities were determined as a function of ATP concentration at fixed concentrations of poly(I:C), a synthetic dsRNA activator of OAS1. The data suggest a random mechanism in which either ATP or poly(I:C) can add first to the enzyme. (4) The dependence of <i>k</i><sub>lag</sub> on poly(I:C) and ATP concentration requires expansion of this mechanism to include slow conformational isomerization of various poly(I:C)- and ATP-bound complexes of inactive OAS1 to form complexes comprising an active enzyme, to ultimately form the reactive Michaelis complex of active OAS1, poly(I:C), and two molecules of ATP. Finally, within this complex, the two molecules of ATP dimerize to form 2′-5′-diadenylate and pyrophosphate. (5) The pH dependence and solvent deuterium isotope effect for <i>k</i><sub>cat</sub> suggests that proton transfer occurs in the rate-limiting transition state, which likely involves proton abstraction from the 2′-hydroxyl of the adenylate acceptor ATP as the oxygen of this hydroxyl attacks the a-phosphate of the adenylate donor ATP in an S<sub>N</sub>2 fashion.</p>","PeriodicalId":28,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry Biochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142437308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structures of IR/IGF1R fragments in apo and liganded states have revealed that the extracellular subunits of these receptors adopt Λ-shaped configurations to which are connected the intracellular tyrosine kinase (TK) domains. The binding of peptide ligands induces structural transitions in the extracellular subunits leading to potential dimerization of transmembrane domains (TMDs) and autophosphorylation in TKs. However, the activation mechanisms of IR/IGF1R, especially the role of TMDs in coordinating signal-inducing structural transitions, remain poorly understood, in part due to the lack of structures of full-length receptors in apo or liganded states. While atomistic simulations of IR/IGF1R TMDs showed that these domains can dimerize in single component membranes, spontaneous unbiased dimerization in a plasma membrane having a physiologically representative lipid composition has not been observed. We address this limitation by employing coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics simulations to probe the dimerization propensity of IR/IGF1R TMDs. We observed that TMDs in both receptors spontaneously dimerized independent of their initial orientations in their dissociated states, signifying their natural propensity for dimerization. In the dimeric state, IR TMDs predominantly adopted X-shaped configurations with asymmetric helical packing and significant tilt relative to the membrane normal, while IGF1R TMDs adopted symmetric V-shaped or parallel configurations with either no tilt or a small tilt relative to the membrane normal.

This structure reveals the complete Hck active site in the presence of A-419259, including the αC-helix, the DFG motif, and the activation loop. A-419259 binds at the ATP-site of Hck and induces an overall closed conformation of the kinase with the regulatory SH3 and SH2 domains bound intramolecularly to their respective internal ligands. A-419259 stabilizes the DFG-in/αC-helix-out conformation observed previously with Hck and the pyrazolopyrimidine inhibitor PP1 (PDB: 1QCF). However, the activation loop conformations are distinct, with PP1 inducing a folded loop structure with the tyrosine autophosphorylation site (Tyr416) pointing into the ATP binding site, while A-419259 stabilizes an extended loop conformation with Tyr416 facing out into the solvent. Autophosphorylation also induces activation loop extension and significantly reduces the Hck sensitivity to PP1 but not A-419259. In cancer cells where Hck is constitutively active, the extended autophosphorylation loop may render Hck more sensitive to inhibitors like A-419259 which prefer this kinase conformation.

Deficiencies in Pol β can lead to increased mutagenesis and genomic instability in the cell, resulting in cancer. Our laboratory has previously shown that the I260 M somatic mutation of Pol β, which was first identified in prostate cancer, has reduced nucleotide discrimination in a sequence context-dependent manner. I260 M incorporates the incorrect G opposite A in this context more readily than WT. To identify the molecular mechanism of the reduced fidelity of I260M, we studied incorporation using single turnover kinetics and the nature and rates of conformational changes using steady-state fluorescence and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Our data indicate that the I260 M mutation affects the fingers region of rat Pol β by creating a “collapsed” state in both the open (in the absence of nucleotide) and closed (prior to chemistry) states. I260 M is a temperature-sensitive mutator and binds nucleotides tighter than the WT protein, resulting in reduced fidelity compared to the WT. Additionally, we have generated a kinetic model of WT and I260 M using FRET and single turnover data, which demonstrates that I260 M precatalytic conformation changes differ compared to the WT as it is missing a precatalytic noncovalent step. Taken together, these results suggest that the collapsed state of I260 M may decrease its ability for nucleotide discrimination, illustrating the importance of the “fingers closing” conformational change for polymerase fidelity and accurate DNA synthesis.</p>","PeriodicalId":28,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry Biochemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142402692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
