Structures of the pleiotropic translational regulator Hfq and an Hfq-RNA complex: a bacterial Sm-like protein.

  ABSTRACT  
 
In prokaryotes, Hfq regulates translation by modulating the structure of numerous RNA molecules by binding preferentially to A/U-rich sequences. To elucidate the mechanisms of target recognition and translation regulation by Hfq, we determined the crystal structures of the Staphylococcus aureus Hfq and an Hfq-RNA complex to 1.55 and 2.71 A resolution, respectively. The structures reveal that Hfq possesses the Sm-fold previously observed only in eukaryotes and archaea. However, unlike these heptameric Sm proteins, Hfq forms a homo-hexameric ring. The Hfq-RNA structure reveals that the single-stranded hepta-oligoribonucleotide binds in a circular conformation around a central basic cleft, whereby Tyr42 residues from adjacent subunits stack with six of the bases, and Gln8, outside the Sm motif, provides key protein-base contacts. Such binding suggests a mechanism for Hfq function.

Figure 1.
Figure 1 The structure of Hfq. (A) Structure of the Hfq monomer shown as a ribbon diagram. Secondary structural elements are labeled, as are the first (N) and last (C) residues observed. Figures 1A−C, 2B−D, 3A, 4B and C and 6 were made with Swiss-PdbViewer and rendered with POVRAY (Guex and Peitsch, 1997; POVRAY, Persistence of Vision Raytracer version 3.1 http://www.povray.org). (B) Structure of the Hfq hexamer with each subunit colored differently. (C) The two Hfq hexamers in the crystallographic asymmetric unit. This view is rotated 90° to (B) along the vertical axis in the plane of the paper. Interactions between the two rings are made by residues from the hydrophobic surface of each hexamer (see Figure 5B).
Figure 6.
Figure 6 RNA recognition by Hfq. Cross-eyed stereo view of the 5' adenine- and uracil-binding pockets. Hydrogen bonds are shown as black lines. All residues that contact the nucleotide are located within the Sm1 and Sm2 motifs (shown as sticks), with the exception of conserved residue Gln8, which is located on helix 1 and colored according to atom type (blue, red and yellow for nitrogen, oxygen and carbon).

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.
