Abstract

Cataract, a clouding of the eye lens from protein precipitation, affects millions of people every year. The lens proteins, the crystallins, show extensive post-translational modifications (PTMs) in cataractous lenses. The most common PTMs, deamidation and oxidation, promote crystallin aggregation; however, it is not clear precisely how these PTMs contribute to crystallin insolubilization. Here, we report six crystal structures of the lens protein γS-crystallin (γS): one of the wild-type and five of deamidated γS variants, from three to nine deamidation sites, after sample aging. The deamidation mutations do not change the overall fold of γS; however, increasing deamidation leads to accelerated disulfide-bond formation. Addition of deamidated sites progressively destabilized protein structure, and the deamidated variants display an increased propensity for aggregation. These results suggest that the deamidated variants are useful as models for accelerated aging; the structural changes observed provide support for redox activity of γS-crystallin in the lens.

Abstract

α-Crystallins are small heat-shock proteins that act as holdase chaperones. In humans, αA-crystallin is expressed only in the eye lens, while αB-crystallin is found in many tissues. α-Crystallins have a central domain flanked by flexible extensions and form dynamic, heterogeneous oligomers. Structural models show that both the C- and N-terminal extensions are important for controlling oligomerization through domain swapping. α-Crystallin prevents aggregation of damaged β- and γ-crystallins by binding to the client protein using a variety of binding modes. α-Crystallin chaperone activity can be compromised by mutation or posttranslational modifications, leading to protein aggregation and cataract. Because of their high solubility and their ability to form large, functional oligomers, α-crystallins are particularly amenable to structure determination by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and solution NMR, as well as cryo-electron microscopy.

Abstract

BackgroundThe eye lens crystallins are highly soluble proteins that are required to last the lifespan of an organism due to low protein turnover in the lens. Crystallin aggregation leads to formation of light-scattering aggregates known as cataract. The G18V mutation of human γS-crystallin (γS-G18V), which is associated with childhood-onset cataract, causes structural changes throughout the N-terminal domain and increases aggregation propensity. The holdase chaperone protein αB-crystallin does not interact with wild-type γS-crystallin, but does bind its G18V variant. The specific molecular determinants of αB-crystallin binding to client proteins is incompletely charcterized. Here, a new variant of γS, γS-G18A, was created to test the limits of αB-crystallin selectivity.MethodsMolecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the structure and dynamics of γS-G18A. The overall fold of γS-G18A was assessed by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence. Its thermal unfolding temperature and aggregation propensity were characterized by CD and DLS, respectively. Solution-state NMR was used to characterize interactions between αB-crystallin and γS-G18A.ResultsγS-G18A exhibits minimal structural changes, but has compromised thermal stability relative to γS-WT. The placement of alanine, rather than valine, at this highly conserved glycine position produces minor changes in hydrophobic surface exposure. However, human αB-crystallin does not bind the G18A variant, in contrast to previous observations for γS-G18V, which aggregates at physiological temperature.ConclusionsαB-crystallin is capable of distinguishing between aggregation-prone and function-preserving variants, and recognizing the transient unfolding or minor conformers that lead to aggregation in the disease-related variant.General significanceHuman αB-crystallin distinguishes between highly similar variants of a structural crystallin, binding the cataract-related γS-G18V variant, but not the function-preserving γS-G18A variant, which is monomeric at physiological temperature.

Abstract

This thesis examines the properties of the human crystallin eye lens proteins from threeangles, how the structure of γS-crystallin relates to aggregation propensity, how αB-crystallinselect between aggregation prone variants, and the structure of the crystallins in a lens likehydrogel. The human crystallins are normally highly soluble and stable, as an evolvedadaptation to maintain the transparency of the eye lens. This is due to the intrinsic stabilityof the proteins themselves and the chaperone ability of the α-crystallins. By studying thestructure and biophysical properties of novel and cataract associated variants of γS-crystallinwith respect to aggregation propensity and client-chaperone interactions, it was discoveredthat αB-crystallin can select between different aggregation prone and function preservingvariants, as well as a disconnect between the structural features that lead to a loss in stabilityand selection as a client. In the eye lens the concentration of the crystallins can reach over400 mg/mL. By examining pure γS-crystallin as it exists in a highly concentrated hydrogelit was discovered that the gel is formed by the protein forming into larger order oligomers inthe form of filaments and amorphous domains, but the domains retain a high degree of liquidlike character. Lastly the properties of the plant specific insert (PSI) from Drosera capensiswere examined. It was discovered that this protein exhibits anti-microbial properties, likely stemming from the fact that PSI can destabilize cell membranes and readily forms complexeswith lipids.

Abstract

The highly infectious disease COVID-19 caused by the Betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2 poses a severe threat to humanity and demands the redirection of scientific efforts and criteria to organized research projects. The international COVID19-NMR consortium seeks to provide such new approaches by gathering scientific expertise worldwide. In particular, making available viral proteins and RNAs will pave the way to understanding the SARS-CoV-2 molecular components in detail. The research in COVID19-NMR and the resources provided through the consortium are fully disclosed to accelerate access and exploitation. NMR investigations of the viral molecular components are designated to provide the essential basis for further work, including macromolecular interaction studies and high-throughput drug screening. Here, we present the extensive catalog of a holistic SARS-CoV-2 protein preparation approach based on the consortium’s collective efforts. We provide protocols for the large-scale production of more than 80% of all SARS-CoV-2 proteins or essential parts of them. Several of the proteins were produced in more than one laboratory, demonstrating the high interoperability between NMR groups worldwide. For the majority of proteins, we can produce isotope-labeled samples of HSQC-grade. Together with several NMR chemical shift assignments made publicly available on covid19-nmr.com, we here provide highly valuable resources for the production of SARS-CoV-2 proteins in isotope-labeled form.

Abstract

The highly infectious disease COVID-19 caused by the Betacoronavirus SARS-CoV-2 poses a severe threat to humanity and demands the redirection of scientific efforts and criteria to organized research projects. The international COVID19-NMR consortium seeks to provide such new approaches by gathering scientific expertise worldwide. In particular, making available viral proteins and RNAs will pave the way to understanding the SARS-CoV-2 molecular components in detail. The research in COVID19-NMR and the resources provided through the consortium are fully disclosed to accelerate access and exploitation. NMR investigations of the viral molecular components are designated to provide the essential basis for further work, including macromolecular interaction studies and high-throughput drug screening. Here, we present the extensive catalog of a holistic SARS-CoV-2 protein preparation approach based on the consortium’s collective efforts. We provide protocols for the large-scale production of more than 80% of all SARS-CoV-2 proteins or essential parts of them. Several of the proteins were produced in more than one laboratory, demonstrating the high interoperability between NMR groups worldwide. For the majority of proteins, we can produce isotope-labeled samples of HSQC-grade. Together with several NMR chemical shift assignments made publicly available on covid19-nmr.com, we here provide highly valuable resources for the production of SARS-CoV-2 proteins in isotope-labeled form.
