Abstract
Proteasome activity is regulated by sequestration of its proteolytic centers in a barrel-shaped structure that limits substrate access. Substrates enter the proteasome by means of activator complexes that bind to the end rings of proteasome alpha subunits and induce opening of an axial entrance/exit pore. The PA26 activator binds in a pocket on the proteasome surface using main chain contacts of its C-terminal residues and uses an internal activation loop to trigger gate opening by repositioning the proteasome Pro-17 reverse turn. Subunits of the unrelated PAN/19S activators bind with their C termini in the same pockets but can induce proteasome gate opening entirely from interactions of their C-terminal peptides, which are reported to cause gate opening by inducing a rocking motion of proteasome alpha subunits rather than by directly contacting the Pro-17 turn. Here we report crystal structures and binding studies of proteasome complexes with PA26 constructs that display modified C-terminal residues, including those corresponding to PAN. These findings suggest that PA26 and PAN/19S C-terminal residues bind superimposably and that both classes of activator induce gate opening by using direct contacts to residues of the proteasome Pro-17 reverse turn. In the case of the PAN and 19S activators, a penultimate tyrosine/phenylalanine residue contacts the proteasome Gly-19 carbonyl oxygen to stabilize the open conformation.
Figure 1.
Structures of PA26-proteasome complexes. A, overall structure with one PA26 subunit colored blue and its three C-terminal residues in space-filling representation. Proteasome subunits that form the corresponding binding pocket are pink and gray (white in subsequent panels). B, close-up showing main chain hydrogen-bonding interactions of the PA26 C-terminal residues (31). C, sequences and structures of PA26 (31) and variants described in this work shown after overlap on the proteasome structures. D, the penultimate Tyr-230 residue contacts Gly-19 to reposition the Pro-17 turn. Distances between Tyr-230-OH and Gly-19-O in closed (red; modeled) and open (green; observed) conformations are shown. Pro-17 undergoes an apparent movement of ∼1 Å. H0, helix 0. E, binding pocket with proteasome shown as a semitransparent molecular surface. Conserved residues whose side chains contact the activator C-terminal residues are indicated. F, V230F penultimate phenylalanine interactions observed with Gly-19 in the open conformation (pink) and modeled in the closed conformation (blue). To best describe contacts, riding hydrogen atoms were included in determined structures and assessed with MolProbity (36).
Figure 2.
PA26-proteasome binding studies. A–E, biosensorgrams showing concentration-dependent binding of PA26 variants to the S. cerevisiae proteasome and calculated average dissociation constants (K[D]). Binding to an IgG control surface was negligible (data not shown). RU, response units. F, kinetic plot of k[a] versus k[d] where diagonals represent K[D], and values for each PA26 variant are shown as spots. The K[D] standard deviation is less than the size of the spots.
