  ABSTRACT  
 
NikR is a metal-responsive transcription factor that controls nickel uptake in Escherichia coli by regulating expression of a nickel-specific ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. We have determined the first two structures of NikR: the full-length apo repressor at a resolution of 2.3 A and the nickel-bound C-terminal regulatory domain at a resolution of 1.4 A. NikR is the only known metal-responsive member of the ribbon-helix-helix family of transcription factors, and its structure has a quaternary arrangement consisting of two dimeric DNA-binding domains separated by a tetrameric regulatory domain that binds nickel. The position of the C-terminal regulatory domain enforces a large spacing between the contacts that each NikR DNA-binding domain can make with the nik operator. The regulatory domain of NikR contains four nickel-binding sites at the tetramer interface, each exhibiting a novel square-planar coordination by three histidines and one cysteine side chain.

Figure 1.
Figure 1. NikR structures and structural comparisons. (a) Ribbon diagram of the apo-NikR tetramer colored by polypeptide chain. Domains are bracketed and labeled as either ribbon-helix-helix (DNA-binding domain) or Ni-regulatory domain (C domain). Secondary structure elements of the blue NikR monomer are labeled. (b) Superposition of the C traces of the regulatory domain of apo NikR (light gray) and nickel-bound C domain (colored by polypeptide chain) based on all common C positions. Nickel atoms from the nickel-bound C-domain structure are cyan spheres. The most similar regions are the -strands of the central -sheets, whereas the most substantial differences are in the loop (labeled with an asterisk near the green monomer) and helix 3. Note the absence of this helix in the three other apo NikR molecules. (c) Two monomers of the nickel-bound C-domain tetramer shown as ribbon diagrams and colored by chain. Amino acid side chains ligating nickel are shown in ball-and-stick and colored by atom type (carbon atoms from the two monomers are green and gray, respectively) and nickel is a cyan sphere. (d) Regulatory domain of PGDH (from 1PSD) shown as in c. Bound serine is in cyan ball-and-stick. Note the similarity in location of bound allosteric ligand and the contribution to binding of each ligand from different monomers across their interface. All figures were prepared using Ribbons30.

Figure 3. Side chain movements and interactions at the high-affinity nickel site. (a) Comparison of the nickel ligands between apo NikR and nickel-bound C domain after superposition of all common C atoms of each tetramer. Amino acid side chains of the nickel ligands are in ball-and-stick, with carbon atoms green for the nickel-bound C-domain structure and white for the apo NikR structure. Nickel ions, cyan spheres; nickel-ligand bonds, gray lines. (b) Hydrogen bond network between two nickel-binding sites in the nickel-bound C-domain structure. Amino acid side chains of two molecules of the NikR regulatory domain are in ball-and-stick with gray or green carbon atoms, respectively. Dashed lines indicate hydrogen bonds.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
