Abstract

Cytochrome P450cam (P450cam) catalyzes the monooxygenation of D-camphor. During the enzymatic reaction, oxyferrous, D-camphor-bound P450cam forms a binary complex with reduced putidaredoxin as an obligatory reaction intermediate. We have found that reduced putidaredoxin undergoes EPR-detectable conformational changes upon formation of the intermediate complex and also upon formation of a binary complex with CO- or NO-ferrous, D-camphor-bound P450cam. The structural changes in putidaredoxin are almost identical irrespective of the ligand bound to P450cam, and distinct from and significantly larger than those induced by unliganded ferrous P450cam. The binary complex formation also induce conformational alterations in the CO- and NO-ferrous, D-camphor-bound P450cam, thereby evoking simultaneous changes in the structure of the two proteins. A molecular basis and roles of such structural changes in the D-camphor monooxygenation are discussed.

Prediction of bacterial protein-compound interactions with only positive samples.

MOTIVATION: Prediction of Compound-Protein Interactions (CPI) in bacteria is crucial to advance various pharmaceutical and chemical engineering fields, including biocatalysis, drug discovery, and industrial processing. However, current CPI models cannot be applied for bacterial CPI prediction due to the lack of curated negative interaction samples. RESULTS: We propose a novel Positive-Unlabeled (PU) learning framework, named BIN-PU, to address this limitation. BIN-PU generates pseudo positive and negative labels from known positive interaction data, enabling effective training of deep learning models for CPI prediction. We also propose a weighted positive loss function that weights to truly positive samples. We have validated BIN-PU coupled with multiple CPI backbone models, comparing the performance with the existing PU models using bacterial cytochrome P450 (CYP) data. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of BIN-PU over the benchmark models in predicting CPIs with only truly positive samples. Furthermore, we have validated BIN-PU on additional bacterial proteins obtained from literature review, human CYP datasets, and uncurated data for its reproducibility. We have also validated the CPI prediction for the uncurated CYP data with biological and biophysical experiments. BIN-PU represents a significant advancement in CPI prediction for bacterial proteins, opening new possibilities for improving predictive models in related biological interaction tasks.

ComFB, a widespread family of c-di-NMP receptor proteins.

Cyclic dimeric-GMP (c-di-GMP) is a ubiquitous bacterial second messenger that regulates a variety of cellular processes, including motility, biofilm formation, secretion, cell cycle progression, and development, and also contributes to the virulence of many bacterial pathogens. While the genes encoding c-di-GMP cyclases and hydrolases are readily identifiable in microbial genomes, known c-di-GMP receptor domains are quite few, with only PilZ and MshEN broadly distributed across bacterial phyla. Recently, a new c-di-GMP receptor, named CdgR or ComFB, has been identified in cyanobacteria and shown to regulate cell size and natural competence. We demonstrated that CdgR proteins exhibit sequence and structural similarity to the Bacillus subtilis late competence development protein ComFB, a conserved protein of unknown function associated with bacterial competence. This prompted us to hypothesize that ComFB and ComFB-like proteins could also serve as c-di-GMP receptors. Here, we comprehensively investigated the ComFB protein family and demonstrated that ComFB proteins are evolutionarily widespread among bacteria and function as a novel family of c-di-GMP receptors. We showed that ComFB proteins from Gram-positive bacteria (B. subtilis, Thermoanaerobacter brockii) and Gram-negative pathogens (Vibrio cholerae, Treponema denticola) bind c-di-GMP with high affinity. Several ComFB proteins also bind cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP), suggesting that ComFB represents a widely distributed bacterial protein family with dual specificity for c-di-GMP and c-di-AMP. Our physiological studies further showed that ComFB plays vital roles in controlling motility in a c-di-GMP-dependent manner in two phylogenetically distant bacteria, B. subtilis and the gram-negative Shewanella oneidensis, attesting to the biological relevance of ComFB as a c-di-GMP binding protein.

Dynamic structural determinants in bacterial microcompartment shells.

Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are polyhedral structures that segregate enzymatic cargo from the cytosol via encapsulation within a protein shell. Unlike other biological polyhedra, such as viral capsids and encapsulins, BMC shells can exhibit a highly advantageous structural and functional plasticity, conforming to a variety of anabolic (CO2 fixation in carboxysomes) and catabolic (nutrient assimilation in metabolosomes) roles. Consequently, understanding the subunit properties and associated protein-protein interaction processes that guide shell assembly and function is a necessary step to fully harness BMCs as modular, biotechnological nanomachines. Here, we describe the recent insights into the dynamics of structural features of the key BMC domain (Pfam00936)-containing proteins, which serve as a structural template for BMC-H and BMC-T shell building blocks.
