Its physiological function is the transport of lipopolisaccharides to build up the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria. Although several structural and biochemical studies of MsbA have been conducted previously, a detailed picture of the dynamic processes that link ATP hydrolysis to allocrit transport remains elusive. We report here for the first time time-resolved Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic measurements of the ATP binding and ATP hydrolysis reaction of full-length MsbA and determined reaction rates at 288 K of <i>k</i> <sub>1</sub> = 0.49 ± 0.28 s<sup>-1</sup> and <i>k</i> <sub>2</sub> = 0.014 ± 0.003 s<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. We further verified these rates with photocaged NPE<i>cg</i>AppNHp where only nucleotide binding was observable and the negative mutant MsbA-H537A that showed slow hydrolysis (<i>k</i> <sub>2</sub> < 2 × 10<sup>-4</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>). Besides single turnover kinetics, FTIR measurements also deliver IR signatures of all educts, products and the protein. ADP remains protein-bound after ATP hydrolysis. In addition, the spectral changes observed for the two variants MsbA-S378A and MsbA-S482A correlated with the loss of hydrogen bonding to the γ-phosphate of ATP.

They are composed of tandem RecA-like domains and a C-terminal domain connected by flexible linkers, and the activity of several DEAH-box helicases is regulated by cofactors called G-patch proteins. We used all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of the helicases Prp43, Prp22, and DHX15 in various liganded states to investigate how RNA, ADP, ATP, or G-patch proteins influence their conformational dynamics. The simulations suggest that apo helicases are highly flexible, whereas binding of RNA renders the helicases more rigid. ATP and ADP control the stability of the RecA1-RecA2 interface, but they have only a smaller effect on domain flexibility in absence of a RecA1-RecA2 interface. Binding of a G-patch protein to DHX15 imposes a more structured conformational ensemble, characterized by more defined relative domain arrangements and by an increased conformational stability of the RNA tunnel. However, the effect of the G-patch protein on domain dynamics is far more subtle as compared to the effects of RNA or ATP/ADP. The simulations characterize DEAH-box helicase as dynamic machines whose conformational ensembles are strongly defined by the presence of RNA, ATP, or ADP and only fine-tuned by the presence of G-patch proteins.</p>","PeriodicalId":8885,"journal":{"name":"Biological Chemistry","volume":"404 8-9","pages":"867-879"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10167391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
