English, Scientific journal, Understanding the molecular basis of interprotein electron transfer (ET) is essential for elucidating the mechanisms of bioenergetic processes. In this study, we characterize the ET kinetics between cytochrome c (Cyt c) and cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) by determining the ET rate constant (kET) within their complex using temperature-dependent flow-flash spectroscopy. The measured kET was on the order of 104 s-1, corresponding to an ET distance of ∼13 Å, as estimated via Marcus theory, significantly shorter than the ∼23 Å distance inferred for the ES complex based on docking simulations using Michaelis constants (KM). These results provide strong evidence that ET does not occur within the canonical ES complex but rather within a distinct ET-active complex characterized by a shorter ET distance. Docking simulations further support the existence of this ET-active complex by identifying configurations with restricted ET distances. Importantly, the observed kET is approximately 80 times faster than the catalytic constant (kcat), indicating that ET is not the rate-limiting step in the overall Cyt c-CcO reaction. Given that kcat reflects a millisecond-scale conformational transition from the ES complex to the ET-active complex, it is likely governed by the structural fluctuation of the proteins. These findings support a conformational gating mechanism, wherein thermal fluctuations of protein structure critically regulate ET efficiency. This study advances our understanding of protein-protein ET from Cyt c to CcO by highlighting the role of dynamic structural transitions in modulating the reaction kinetics. - Multiple <i>Sry</i> genes in the Okinawa spiny rat encode proteins with an A-to-S substitution in the HMG domain that retain DNA-binding ability

English, Scientific journal, We successfully reconstituted single Natronomonas pharaonis halorhodopsin (NpHR) trimers into a nanodisk (ND) using the native archaeal lipid (NL) and an artificial lipid having a zwitterionic headgroup, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC). Incorporation of single trimeric NpHR into NDs was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, size-exclusion chromatography, and visible circular dichroism spectroscopy. The Cl- binding affinity of NpHR in NDs using NL (NL-ND NpHR) or POPC (POPC-ND NpHR) was examined by absorption spectroscopy, showing that the Cl--releasing affinities (Kd,N↔O) of these ND-reconstituted NpHRs are more than 10 times higher than that obtained from native NpHR membrane fragments (MFs) harvested from a NpHR-overexpressing archaeal strain (MF NpHR). The photoreaction kinetics of these ND-reconstituted NpHRs revealed that the Cl- uptake was faster than that of MF NpHR. These differences in the Cl--releasing and uptake properties of ND-reconstituted NpHRs and MF NpHR may arise from suppression of protein conformational changes associated with Cl- release from the trimeric NpHR caused by ND reconstitution, conformational perturbation in the trimeric state, and loss of the trimer-trimer interactions. On the other hand, POPC-ND NpHR demonstrated accelerated Cl- uptake compared to NL-ND NpHR, suggesting that the negative charge on the archaeal membrane surface regulates the photocycle of NpHR. Although NL-ND NpHR and MF NpHR are embedded in the same lipid, the lower Cl--binding affinity at the initial state (Kd,initial) and faster recovering from the NpHR' state to the original state of the photoreaction cycle were observed for NL-ND NpHR, probably because of insufficient interactions with a chromophore in the native membrane, bacterioruberin in reconstituted NDs. Our results indicate that specific interactions of NpHR with surrounding lipids and bacterioruberin, structural flexibility of the membrane, and interactions between trimeric NpHRs may be necessary for efficient Cl- pumping. - A single mutation converts Alr5027 from cyanobacteria Nostoc sp.

English, Scientific journal, HutZ from Vibrio cholerae is a dimeric enzyme that catalyzes degradation of heme. The highly conserved Arg92 residue in the HutZ family is proposed to interact with an iron-bound water molecule in the distal heme pocket. To clarify the specific role of Arg92 in the heme degradation reaction, the residue was substituted with alanine, leucine, histidine or lysine to modulate electrostatic interactions with iron-bound ligand. All four Arg92 mutants reacted with hydrogen peroxide to form verdoheme, a prominent intermediate in the heme degradation process. However, when ascorbic acid was used as an electron source, iron was not released even at pH 6.0 despite a decrease in the Soret band, indicating that non-enzymatic heme degradation occurred. Comparison of the rates of heme reduction, ligand binding and verdoheme formation suggested that proton transfer to the reduced oxyferrous heme, a potential rate-limiting step of heme degradation in HutZ, is hampered by mutation. In our previous study, we found that the increase in the distance between heme and Trp109 from 16 to 18 Å upon lowering the pH from 8.0 to 6.0 leads to activation of ascorbic acid-assisted heme degradation by HutZ. The distance in Arg92 mutants was >19 Å at pH 6.0, suggesting that subunit-subunit interactions at this pH are not suitable for heme degradation, similar to Asp132 and His63 mutants. These results suggest that interactions of Arg92 with heme-bound ligand induce alterations in the distance between subunits, which plays a key role in controlling the heme degradation activity of HutZ. - Structural basis for the heme transfer reaction in heme uptake machinery from Corynebacteria.

Japanese, Scientific journal - Role of His63 in HutZ from Vibrio cholerae in the heme degradation reaction and heme binding.

English, Scientific journal, HutZ from Vibrio cholerae is a dimeric enzyme that catalyzes oxygen-dependent degradation of heme via a similar catalytic mechanism to mammalian heme oxygenase. However, HutZ oxidizes the β- or δ-meso position of heme at a ∼1 : 1 ratio distinct from heme oxygenase, which initiates the degradation of heme solely at the α-meso position. His63 is a residue that potentially forms hydrogen bond with the heme 7-propionate group. To establish the role of His63 in regioselectivity of heme degradation by HutZ and heme binding, we constructed mutants of His63. Interestingly, the H63L mutant retained a comparable level of β- or δ-regioselectivity as wild-type HutZ. Ascorbic acid-assisted heme degradation by HutZ is pH-dependent, showing activity at pH 6.0 but not above pH 8.0. Compared to the wild-type protein, the H63L mutant was inactive, even at pH 6.0, and affinity for heme was significantly decreased in contrast with a comparable heme binding affinity at pH 8.0, as observed for the mutant of Asp132 to Val, which is located within hydrogen bonding distance of the heme axial ligand His170, but in a different protomer. In addition, the distance between heme and Trp109 increased from 16-18 Å for wild-type HutZ to 24-28 Å for the H63L mutant, indicating that protomer orientation is altered by the mutation, since Trp109 is in another subunit of the heme axial ligand. Our results collectively suggest that His63 positioned near heme does not contribute to regioselectivity of heme degradation but plays a key role in maintaining the orientation of subunits for HutZ to function of heme degradation. - Subunit-subunit interactions play a key role in the heme-degradation reaction of HutZ from Vibrio cholerae.

English, Scientific journal, HutZ, a dimeric protein, from Vibrio cholerae is a protein that catalyzes the oxygen-dependent degradation of heme. Interestingly, the ascorbic acid-supported heme-degradation activity of HutZ depends on pH: less than 10% of heme is degraded by HutZ at pH 8.0, but nearly 90% of heme is degraded at pH 6.0. We examined here pH-dependent conformational changes in HutZ using fluorescence spectroscopy. Trp109 is estimated to be located approximately 21 Å from heme and is present in a different subunit containing a heme axial ligand. Thus, we postulated that the distance between heme and Trp109 reflects subunit-subunit orientational changes. On the basis of resonance energy transfer from Trp109 to heme, we estimated the distance between heme and Trp109 to be approximately 17 Å at pH 8.0, while the distance increased by less than 2 Å at pH 6.0. We presumed that such changes led to a decrease in electron donation from the proximal histidine, resulting in enhancement of the heme-degradation activity. To confirm this scenario, we mutated Ala31, located at the dimer interface, to valine to alter the distance through the subunit-subunit interaction. The distance between heme and Trp109 for the A31V mutant was elongated to 24-27 Å. Although resonance Raman spectra and reduction rate of heme suggested that this mutation resulted in diminished electron donation from the heme axial ligand, ascorbic acid-supported heme-degradation activity was not observed. Based on our findings, it can be proposed that the relative positioning of two protomers is important in determining the heme degradation rate by HutZ. - Polyethylene glycol promotes autoxidation of cytochrome c

English, Scientific journal, Some Gram-negative pathogens import host heme into the cytoplasm and utilize it as an iron source for their survival. We report here that HmuS, encoded by the heme utilizing system (hmu) locus, cleaves the protoporphyrin ring to release iron from heme. A liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis revealed that the degradation products of this reaction are two biliverdin isomers that result from transformation of a verdoheme intermediate. This oxidative heme degradation by HmuS required molecular oxygen and electrons supplied by either ascorbate or NADPH. Electrons could not be directly transferred from NADPH to heme; instead, ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (FNR) functioned as a mediator. Although HmuS does not share amino acid sequence homology with heme oxygenase (HO), a well-known heme-degrading enzyme, absorption and resonance Raman spectral analyses suggest that the heme iron is coordinated with an axial histidine residue and a water molecule in both enzymes. The substitution of axial His196 or distal Arg102 with an alanine residue in HmuS almost completely eliminated heme-degradation activity, suggesting that Fe-His coordination and interaction of a distal residue with water molecules in the heme pocket are important for this activity. - Reaction intermediates in the heme degradation reaction by HutZ from Vibrio cholerae.

English, Scientific journal, HutZ is a heme-degrading enzyme in Vibrio cholerae. It converts heme to biliverdin via verdoheme, suggesting that it follows the same reaction mechanism as that of mammalian heme oxygenase. However, none of the key intermediates have been identified. In this study, we applied steady-state and time-resolved UV-vis absorption and resonance Raman spectroscopy to study the reaction of the heme-HutZ complex with H2O2 or ascorbic acid. We characterized three intermediates: oxyferrous heme, meso-hydroxyheme, and verdoheme complexes. Our data support the view that HutZ degrades heme in a manner similar to mammalian heme oxygenase, despite their low sequence and structural homology. - Heme Proximal Hydrogen Bonding between His170 and Asp132 Plays an Essential Role in the Heme Degradation Reaction of HutZ from Vibrio cholerae.

English, Scientific journal, HutZ from Vibrio cholerae is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxygen-dependent degradation of heme. The crystal structure of the homologous protein from Helicobacter pylori, HugZ, predicts that Asp132 in HutZ is located within hydrogen-bonding distance of the heme axial ligand His170. Hydrogen bonding between His170 and Asp132 appears to be disfavored in heme-degrading enzymes, because it can contribute to the imidazolate character of the axial histidine, as observed in most heme-containing peroxidases. Thus, we investigated the role of this potential hydrogen bond in the heme degradation reaction by mutating Asp132 to Leu, Asn, or Glu and by mutating His170 to Ala. Heme degradation activity was almost completely lost in D132L and D132N mutants, whereas verdoheme formation through reaction with H2O2 was comparable in the D132E mutant and wild-type enzyme. However, even at pH 6.0, when the heme is in a high-spin state, the D132E mutant was inactive toward ascorbic acid because of a significant reduction in its affinity (Kd) for heme (4.1 μM) compared with that at pH 8.0 (0.027 μM). The heme degradation activity of the H170A mutant was also substantially reduced, although this mutant bound heme with a Kd of 0.067 μM, despite the absence of an axial ligand. Thus, this study showed that proximal hydrogen bonding between Asp132 and His170 plays a role in retaining the heme in an appropriate position for oxygen-dependent heme degradation. - The Iron Chaperone Protein CyaY from Vibrio cholerae Is a Heme-Binding Protein

English, Scientific journal, Corynebacteria contain a heme uptake system encoded in hmuTUV genes, in which HmuT protein acts as a heme binding protein to transport heme to the cognate transporter HmuUV. The crystal structure of HmuT from Corynebacterium glutamicum (CgHmuT) reveals that heme is accommodated in the central cleft with His141 and Tyr240 as the axial ligands and that Tyr240 forms a hydrogen bond with Arg242. In this work, the crystal structures of H141A, Y240A, and R242A mutants were determined to understand the role of these residues for the heme binding of CgHmuT. Overall and heme environmental structures of these mutants were similar to those of the wild type, suggesting that there is little conformational change in the heme-binding cleft during heme transport reaction with binding and the dissociation of heme. A loss of one axial ligand or the hydrogen bonding interaction with Tyr240 resulted in an increase in the redox potential of the heme for CgHmuT to be reduced by dithionite, though the wild type was not reduced under physiological conditions. These results suggest that the heme environmental structure stabilizes the ferric heme binding in CgHmuT, which will be responsible for efficient heme uptake under aerobic conditions where Corynebacteria grow. - Haem-dependent dimerization of PGRMC1/Sigma-2 receptor facilitates cancer proliferation and chemoresistance

English, Scientific journal, HutZ is a cytoplasmic heme-binding protein from Vibrio cholerae. Although we have previously identified HutZ as a heme-degrading enzyme [Uchida, T., et al. (2012) Chem. Commun. 48, 6741-6743], the heme transport protein for HutZ remained unknown. To identify the heme transport protein for HutZ, we focused on the heme utilization operon, hutWXZ. To this end, we constructed an expression system for HutX in Escherichia coli and purified it to homogeneity. An absorption spectral analysis demonstrated that HutX binds heme with a 1:1 stoichiometry and a dissociation constant of 7.4 nM. The crystal structure of HutX displays a fold similar to that of the homologous protein, ChuX, from E. coli O157:H7. A structural comparison of HutX and ChuX, and resonance Raman spectra of heme-HutX, suggest that the axial ligand of the ferric heme is Tyr90. The heme bound to HutX is transferred to HutZ with biphasic dissociation kinetics of 8.3 × 10(-2) and 1.5 × 10(-2) s(-1), values distinctly larger than those for transfer from HutX to apomyoglobin. Surface plasmon resonance experiments confirmed that HutX interacts with HutZ with a dissociation constant of ∼400 μM. These results suggest that heme is transferred from HutX to HutZ via a specific protein-protein interaction. Therefore, we can conclude that HutX is a cytoplasmic heme transport protein for HutZ. - Protein oxidation mediated by heme-induced active site conversion specific for heme-regulated transcription factor, iron response regulator

English, Scientific journal, Heme acquisition system A (HasA) is known as a hemophore in Gram-negative pathogens. The ferric heme iron is coordinated by Tyr-75 and His-32 in holo-HasA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (HasApa). In contrast, in holo-HasA from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (HasAyp), our spectroscopic studies suggest that only Tyr-75 coordinates to the ferric heme iron. The substitution of Gln-32 with alanine in HasAyp does not alter the spectroscopic properties, indicating that Gln-32 is not an axial ligand for the heme iron. Somewhat surprisingly, the Y75A mutant of HasAyp can capture a free hemin molecule but the rate of hemin uptake is slower than that of wild type, suggesting that the hydrophobic interaction in the heme pocket may also play a role in heme acquisition. Unlike in wild type apoprotein, ferric heme transfer from Hb to Y75A apo-HasAyp has not been observed. These results imply that coordination (bonding/interaction) between Tyr-75 and the heme iron is important for heme transfer from Hb. Interestingly, HasAyp differs from HasApa in its ability to bind the ferrous heme iron. Apo-HasAyp can capture ferrous heme and resonance Raman spectra of ferrous-carbon monoxide holo-HasAyp suggest that Tyr-75 is protonated when the heme iron is in the ferrous state. The ability of HasAyp to acquire the ferrous heme iron might be beneficial to Y. pseudotuberculosis, a facultative anaerobe in the Enterobacteriaceae family. - 3P101 Functional significance of homotrimer formation in the Nanodisc-embedded Halorhodopsin(03.

Japanese, c-type cytochromes are electron transfer proteins that are essential for the life of virtually all organisms. They characteristically carry covalently-bound heme via thioether bonds to two cysteines in the protein. In Gram-negative bacteria, biogenesis of c-type cytochrome is conducted by a multiprotein complex system known as the cytochrome c maturation (Ccm) system. This system is consisted of 8 gene products (CcmA-CcmH). CcmE, which is called as a heme chaperon, binds heme and delivers it to apocytochrome c. In this article, I discuss the structure of CcmE and how it works as a heme chaperone protein. - 3P110 Heme Transfer Mechanism from Heme Chaperon to Apocytochrome c(Hemeproteins,Poster Presentations)

DyP (Dye-decolorizing peroxidase) はヘムを含むペルオキシダーゼという酵素タンパク質の一種で、過酸化水素を利用し、アントラキノン系の色素を分解する酵素であることから、環境浄化酵素としての利用が期待されている。しかし、微生物やカビなどの一部に存在するタンパク質であるにもかかわらず、それらの生育条件とは離れたpH 4程度の酸性条件で活性が高く、中性付近ではほとんど活性がないという特徴が、環境浄化酵素としての実用化へのハードルとなっていた。そこで、反応機構を明らかにすることにより、pH依存性を決定している因子を明らかにし、アミノ酸置換を導入することにより、中性pHで活性を持たせることに成功した。試験管内の反応では中性で色素を分解可能になったため、これを大腸菌に発現させ、大腸菌を培養しながら、溶液内の色素を分解することを試みた。しかし、予想外に活性は著しく低く、環境浄化酵素として利用することでできなかった。原因を検討した結果、菌体内で発現させると活性中心であるヘムと結合していないことがわかった。ヘモグロビンなど多くのヘムタンパク質ではヘムはタンパク質と配位結合しているため、大腸菌内で利用しようとするとヘムを含まない可能性がある。そこで、タンパク質とヘムが共有結合しているシトクロムcにDyP活性を付与することを試みた。
はじめに天然型のシトクロムcのDyP活性を測定したところ、DyPの1/2程度の活性であることがわかった。次に、DyPで明らかにした反応機構をもとにシトクロムcに色素分解に必要なアミノ酸残基を導入することにより、天然型のシトクロムcの80倍の活性をもつ変異体シトクロムcを作成した。また、至適pHは8.0付近であったことから、試験管レベルではあるが、環境浄化酵素としての利用が期待できるものの作成に成功した。

We focused on nonodisc-reconstituted halorhodopsin (HR), pumping chloride ion into the cell in response to light, and bacterial cytochrome oxidase (cbb3), promoting four-electron reduction of molecular oxygen in the respiratory chain. Their structures and enzymatic activities were investigated by various kinds of spectroscopies, and the applications of these nanodisc-reconstituted proteins were examined. To facilitate the effective chloride pumping in HR, the interactions between HRs, effects of charges on the membrane, and flexibility of the membrane to tolerate the conformational changes associated with the chloride binding and releasing were found to be essential. We successfully immobilized cbb3 on the electrode and found that immobilized cbb3 can electrochemically mediate the four-electron reduction of molecular oxygen on the electrode. Further experiments are required to improve the efficiency of the reduction of molecular oxygen by using the nanodisc-reconstituted enzyme.

One of the essential biological processes, the four-electron reduction of molecular oxygen to water molecules in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, is promoted by the electron transfer from cytochrome c, a typical heme-containing electron transfer protein, to membrane-bound cytochrome c oxidase. In this study, we examined the electron transfer reaction under the physiological conditions and revealed that the interactions between the proteins and lipids in the membrane, structural fluctuations, transient structural changes, of the proteins, the specific protein-protein interactions mediated by a few amino acid residues, and hydrophobic environment in the electron transfer pathways are the crucial factors to effectively promote the electron transfer reaction from cytochrome c to cytochrome c oxidase. These observations and discussion would contribute to the understanding of the molecular regulation mechanism for the inter-protein electron transfer reaction in vivo.

Progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) is a haem-containing protein that interacts with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and cytochromes P450 to regulate cancer proliferation and chemoresistance; its structural basis remains unknown. Crystallographic analyses revealed that PGRMC1 forms a stable dimer through stacking interactions of two protruding haem molecules. The haem iron is five-coordinated by Tyr113. Haem-mediated PGRMC1 dimerization is required for interactions with EGFR and cytochromes P450, cancer proliferation and chemoresistance against anti-cancer drugs. This study demonstrates protein dimerization via haem-haem stacking, which has not been seen in eukaryotes, and provides insights into its functional significance in cancer.

We reconstituted cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) into a biomembrane model, nanodisc, to characterize its functions in the absence of detergents. The resonance Raman spectra revealed that the reconstitution of CcO into the nanodisc increases the oxygen affinity, leading to efficient reduction of dioxygen to water molecules. To discuss interactions regulating the electron transfer (ET) reactions, we examined the cytochrome c (Cyt c) interaction site on CcO by docking simulation. Unexpectedly, electrostatic interactions do not contribute to the stabilization of the complex, but regulate the binding orientation of Cyt c on CcO. Instead, hydrophobic interactions are the primary factors to stabilize the complex, and the dehydration associated with the formation of the hydrophobic interactions is the key process to facilitate the complex formation. On the other hand, the structural fluctuations are suppressed in the CcO interaction site on Cyt c, which would also characterize the ET reaction.

To discuss the electron transfer mechanism in the respiratory chain in mitochondria, the reconstitution of an isotope labelled key enzyme, cytochrome c oxidase, into the nano-disc, a mimic of membrane in cells, has been examined, which allows us to measure the high resolution NMR spectra of the membrane-bound proteins under the physiological condition. The expression, purification and reconstitution of the bacterial cytochrome c oxidase into the nano-disc were confirmed, leading to the high resolution structural analysis of high molecular weight membrane bound proteins.

Iron is an essential element for bacteria survival. To obtain this element, bacterial pathogens utilize heme from hemoglobin in blood as an iron source, because the vast majority of iron in human body is present as heme. In this project, we found that VCA0907 (HutZ) from Vibrio cholerae is a heme-degrading enzyme. The activity of VCA0907 depends on the strength of the hydrogen bond between His170 that is a sole ligand of heme, and Asp132. We further found that VCA0908 (HutX) binds to heme with a slightly higher affinity than that of HutZ. Unexpectedly, heme, which is bound to HutX, irreversibly moves to HutZ. We concluded that heme that is transported into cytosol is captured by HutX, and then it is transferred to HutZ through the direct interaction with HutX. Finally, HutZ degrades heme to release iron, which is used for survival of V. cholerae. Because iron is an essential element, our findings lead to development of a new kind of medicine for pathogens.

To develop new methodologies for structural analysis of biologically important high-molecular-weight protein complexes, applications of the segment label and new NMR techniques such as the transfer cross-saturation (TCS) and residual dipole coupling (RDC) were examined. By using TCS for the final electron transfer complex in the respiratory chain, the complex between cytochrome c and cytochrome c oxidase, we successfully determined the amino acid residues of cytochrome c directly interacting with cytochrome c oxidase.

In this research project, we characterized the heme binding in Iron Response Regulator (Irr) and Iron Regulatory Protein (IRP) and examined their functional significance. We spectroscopically identified the heme binding sites of Irr and, based on the structural information, a molecular mechanism of heme-induced oxidative modification in Irr was proposed. The heme binding sites of IRP were also determined and a new mechanism for the translational regulation by binding of heme was suggested in IRP. These new findings in this research project shed new light on the functional significance of heme in vivo.

The purpose of this project is to clarify the mechanism of the redoxand CO-dependent transcription by NPAS2. By using resonance Raman technique, we found that CO can bind to heme located inside NPAS2, which leads to a small conformational change around heme peripheral groups. Such a conformational change around heme is a trigger for the protein whole structural change to modulate the affinity of NPAS2 to the target DNA.

本年度に得られた研究成果の概要は以下のとおりである.
1.シトクロム酸化酵素(CcO)の結合により誘起されるシトクロムc(Cytc)における構造変化の解明Cyt cまその電子受容体であるCcOと結合し,CcO-Cytc電子伝達複合体を形成する際には,その立体構造が変化することで電子伝達反応を制御していると考えられる.一般にはこのような高分子量の膜蛋白質であるCcOを含む蛋白質複合体の構造解析は困難であるが,^<15>NラベルしたCyt cを用いて3D-^1H-^<15>N NOESYHSQC(^<15>N-edited NOESY)を用いることで,CcO結合によるCytcの構造変化を検出することに成功した.特に,本研究者等のこれまでの研究から推定されたCyt cのCcOに対する相互作用部位周辺がCcOの結合に伴い有意な構造変化が観測され,Cyt cはCcOと電子伝達複合体を形成する際にはその相互作用部位付近に特異的な構造変化を起こすことが示唆された.今後さらに定量的な構造解析を進めることにより,構造変化による電子伝達の制御機構が明らかになると期待できる.
2.ドッキングシミュレーションによるCcO側の会合部位の同定 東京大学の北尾准教授の研究グループと共同で,CcO-Cytc電子伝達複合体形成の際のCcO側の相互作用部位について検討を行った.剛体モデルを用いたドッキングシミュレーションの結果,Cyt c側の相互作用部位は本研究者らがNMRを用いて実験的に明らかにした部位と一致し,一方,CcO側も予想通り,負電荷と疎水性のアミノ酸残基による相互作用部位の形成が認められた.さらにここで得られた結果についてMDを適用することにより,さらに詳細にCcO)側の相互作用部位を明らかにすることで,CcO側からもCcO-Cytc間の電子伝達機構を解明できると期待できる.

蛋白質構造の構造的揺らぎを定量的に解明するため,人工的な分子内電子伝達蛋白質を設計し,その電子伝達速度の圧力依存性から算出した蛋白質構造における特定の2点問の線圧縮率と,多核多次元NMR法によるdistance geometryや緩和測定から得られる構造的揺らぎの結果を比較した.人工的な分子内電子伝達蛋白質であるルテニウム置換亜鉛ミオグロビン(48,81,83位にそれぞれRu錯体を修飾)の光励起によるZnからRu,あるいはその逆の電子移動過程の反応速度を,常圧から2000気圧程度までの圧力で追跡し,その圧力依存性から,その亜鉛ポルフィリンの亜鉛イオンと蛋白質表面に特異的に修飾したRu錯体間の距離は,Ru錯体の修飾位置(48,81,83位)によって,加圧により0.1から2Å程度,距離が短縮される場合(48位と伸張される場合(81,83位)が観測された.このような異方的な蛋白質構造の短縮・伸張は,緩和測定の結果から得られた局所的な運動性や,distance geometryとは相関がみられず,従来想定されていたように,アミノ酸残基の局部的な運動性や主鎖構造のずれが大きい部位で,必ずしも蛋白質構造の大きな揺らぎが起こっているのではないということを示すことができた.さらに,酸素結合蛋白質であるミオグロビンに比べ,外部からの配位子の結合がなく,そのヘム鉄が6配位構造であるシトクロムcについてもNMRによる緩和時間測定を行ない,主鎖構造の運動性について検討した.その結果,主鎖末端領域やループ領域にやや運動性の高い領域が観測されたものの,全体的にミオグロビンに比べ運動性が制限されている領域が多く,シトクロムcは,ミオグロビンに比べ,蛋白質構造上の揺らぎが小さいことを示唆している.

ヘム依存性転写因子Irrにおける酸化修飾機構の詳細を検討するため,典型的なペプチド鎖の酸化修飾様式であるカルボニル化を認識する「Oxyblot」法を用いて検討したところ,過酸化水素のスカベンジャー試薬であるカタラーゼを添加した際に酸化修飾が大きく阻害されることを見出した.一方,OHラジカルやO_2-のスカベンジャー試薬の添加ではその阻害効果が見られなかったことから,Irrはヘムと分子状酸素の存在下で過酸化水素を産生し,この過酸化水素によってペプチド鎖の酸化修飾反応が引き起こされることが示された.さらに,以上のような過酸化水素の産生部位を同定するために,ヘムの軸配位子と想定されるCysやHisをそれぞれAlaに置換し,その酸化修飾反応を追跡したところ,His残基が連続しているHis117,His118,His119の置換により酸化修飾反応が大きく阻害されることが示された.しかし,この変異体において産生する過酸化水素の定量を行ったところ,野生型同様の産生能を示し,過酸化水素は酸化修飾には必須であるものの,ペプチド鎖への酸化修飾反応の直接的な活性種ではないことが示唆された.づまり,Irrによって産生された過酸化水素は,再びHis117,His118,His119付近の酸化活性化部位によって,さらに活性な酸化活性種に変換されることを示唆している.以上の結果からIrrにおける酸化修飾反応は,分子状酸素から過酸化水素を経た二段階の活性化反応で進行し,そこで生成した酸化活性種が蛋白質分解の端緒となることが考えられる.

本年度の研究実績の概要は以下のとおりである。
1.疎水性アミノ酸残基からの脱水和の分子体積に対する寄与: 疎水性部位からの脱水和による部分分子体積減少の実験的確証を得るため、Cyt cの蛋白質表面に位置する親水性のAsp93を疎水性のLeuに置換し、この変異による立体構造形成に伴う体積変化を追跡した。その結果、この変異により、その立体構造形成による体積の減少量は、約5mLmol^<-1>程度増加した。
2.高圧下時分割蛍光観測システムの構築疎水性アミノ酸残基からの脱水和の分子体積に対する寄与: 蛋白質の立体構造形成機構を考える上で重要な遷移状態における水分子の挙動を解明するためには、活性化体積ΔV^≠を見積もる必要がある。従来、Cyt cでは、このΔV^≠を見積もるため、種々の圧力下におけるヘムの紫外可視吸収を利用してきたが、この手法では蛋白質部分の構造変化が直接には反映されない。そこで、立体構造形成により、ヘムに近接することでその蛍光強度が減少するTrpの蛍光に注目し、蛋白質部分の変化を直接観察することを試みた。高圧下での立体構造形成反応の追跡については、還元型CytcのCO結合体が非結合体に比べその安定性が低く、レーザー光照射によるヘム鉄からCO分子の解離より、立体構造形成反応が開始可能であることを利用した。その結果、高濃度の塩酸グアニジン存在下のCO結合還元型Cyt cや、COが結合しない酸化型Cyt cでは光照射により、有意な蛍光変化は観測されないが、3.6M塩酸グアニジン存在下のCO結合還元型型Cyt cでは光照射に伴い、蛍光強度の低下が観測された。これはCOの解離によって立体構造形成反応が進行したと考えられ、本装置を用いて種々の圧力下における蛋白質立体構造形成反応をその蛍光変化により、追跡できることが示された。現状では観測される蛍光の強度が弱いが、集光レンズの装着などにより、その強度を上げることで、再現性の良い定量的な測定が期待できる。

本研究は、シトクロムcという原核生物から真核生物までほぼすべての生物が有するタンパク質の成熟化を行うタンパク質群であるCcm(Cytochrome c maturation)の作用機構を明らかにすることを目的としている。シトクロムcはミトコンドリアの呼吸鎖における電子伝達タンパク質と機能する他、細胞死であるアポトーシスの引き金となるタンパク質であることから、生成及びその品質管理を理解することは重要であると共に、CcmはC型ヘムを有するタンパク質を大腸菌や無細胞系で発現させる時には必須である、その効率の点で未解明な部分が多く、Ccmの理解はタンパク質工学的にも重要な課題の一つである。本研究の共同研究者であるOxford大学のFerguson教授らの研究により、8個存在するCcmタンパク質の中でもCcmEがヘムをシトクロムcに引き渡し、チオエーテル結合の形成という翻訳後修飾を行うことが生化学的に報告されていた。我々はこの機構を詳細に検討することを試みた。Ferguson教授らは細菌(Hydrogenobacter thermophilus)由来のシトクロムcを用いていたが、今回、ホ乳類であるウマ、及び酵母であるSaccharomyces cerevisiae由来のシトクロムcを用い、翻訳後修飾過程を検討したが、翻訳後修飾は形成されなかった。これは、CcmEによるシトクロムcの選択性を表している。CcmEとこれらのシトクロムcの相互作用を表面プラズモン共鳴装置により解析したが、全く相互作用しなかった。以上のことから、CcmEはシトクロムcのある特定の部位を認識し、ヘムの受け渡しを行っていることがわかった。今後はH. thermophilus由来のシトクロムcの認識部位を明らかにすることを試みる。それにより、CcmEを利用したより広汎なC型ヘムをもつタンパク質の翻訳後修飾につながり、外来タンパク質の発現における有用な情報が得られると期待される。

Structural biology became a main subject in biophysical chemistry after the human genome problem, and 'Protein 3000' project has been successfully carried out. This project intended to uncover the protein structures with x-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. Thus, the static structures of many proteins have been solved, but dynamical structures remained to be revealed to understand how proteins perform their functions. Our research aimed to provide more detailed structures of active sites of large proteins and also dynamical structures in their functioning state. For this purpose vibrational spectroscopy was adopted. New systems for obtaining time-resolved visible and ultraviolet resonance Raman spectra and microscope FTIR spectra were developed and applied to the following eights subjects; 1) Detection of ultrafast structural change of chromophores by using picosecond time-resolved visible resonance Raman spectroscopy, 2) Detection of fast changes of higher order structures of proteins by using subnanosecond time-resolved ultraviolet resonance Raman spectroscopy, 3) Elucidation of the primary process in protein folding/unfolding by using laser temperature jump technique, 4) Development of a novel spectroscopy for functionally-important protein fluctuation, 5) Elucidation of the primary process in the light-induced DNA repair by DNA photolyases, 6) FTIR microspectroscopic investigation of amyloid fibril structures and a trigger mechanism along its formation, 7) Mechanism of sensing of environment and information transduction to a functional domain by gas sensor heme proteins, 8) Elucidation of mechanism of oxygen activation and proton active transport by heme enzymes. In practice we have constructed several inventive time-resolved resonance Raman systems, which cover a wide ranges of excitation wavelengths (from ultraviolet to near infrared) and time-resolution (from picosecond to second). We applied these systems successfully to basic proteins like hemoglobin and myoglobin and some new proteins like gas sensor proteins. We succeeded in elucidating mechanisms of target discrimination and information transmission in the gas sensor proteins.

本研究の実施前に辞退する事になったため本格的な実施ではないが、特別推進研究においても関連課題を実施しているので成果の一部をここに記す。
バシラスという細菌の酵素分子センサーであるHemATという蛋白の共鳴ラマンスペクトルを測定し、酸素分子の特異的認識メカニズムを構造化学的に調べた。すなわち、HemATの鉄-酸素伸縮振動を同位体置換法で帰属し、この振動数が非常に低い事から、鉄に結合した酸素がまわりの蛋白と強く水素結合していると結論した。シグナル伝達部の長さを変えると、強く水素結合した酸素とそうでない酸素の存在比が変化したので、その水素結合が情報伝達に寄与していると考えられた。
