Structural analysis of adenylate cyclases from Trypanosoma brucei in their monomeric state.

  ABSTRACT  
 
Cyclic AMP is a major trigger of the differentiation process of Trypanosoma brucei, a bloodstream parasite causing sleeping sickness. Its generation in trypanosomes is accomplished by a unique battery of membrane-bound adenylate cyclases (ACs). We have determined the high-resolution X-ray structures of the catalytic domains of two trypanosomal ACs (tACs), GRESAG4.1 and GRESAG4.3. The tAC domains are structurally highly related to the AC domains of higher eukaryotes, but also comprise a highly conserved structural element near the active site, the Delta-subdomain. A cavity below the Delta-subdomain might correspond to an allosteric regulator site as indicated by the stereospecific binding of a single (2S,3S)-1,4- dimercapto-2,3-butanediol molecule. In three different crystal forms, the tAC domains are exclusively observed in a monomeric, catalytically inactive state. Biochemical analysis and the mutagenesis profile of GRESAG4.1 confirmed a common catalytic mechanism of tACs that involves transient dimerization of the AC domain. A low dimerization tendency might play a regulatory role in T. brucei if the activation of tACs is similarly driven by ligand-induced dimerization as in membrane-bound guanylate cyclases.

Figure 3.
Figure 3 The dimerization of tACs. (A) Model of the tAC dimer as shown from the dorsal (left) and the ventral site (right). Whereas the ventral site is blocked by the pairing of the arm regions (purple), the dorsal site allows substrate access as indicated by ATP molecules occupying both active sites (CPK models). (B) Structural comparison between the arm region of GRESAG4.1 (purple), the C1 (yellow) and C2 domain (blue). The inlay shows the sequence divergence between tACs and other nucleotidyl cyclases in this region. 		Figure 4.
Figure 4 The catalytic surface of tACs. (A) Superposition of GRESAG4.1 (orange, sulfate), GRESAG4.3 (purple, magnesium) and the mammalian C1A domain (blue, metal centers green, ATP S) along the active site surface. (B) Model for the binding of ATP (CPK model) to the catalytic surface of a tAC monomer (green). (C) Binding of a sulfate anion (sticks) to the catalytic surface of GRESAG4.1. (D) Magnesium binding site in the monomeric form of GRESAG4.3. The coordination sphere of the magnesium ion (blue) consists of two conserved aspartates and four water ligands. Putative H-bonds are shown as dotted lines.
