The Structure of the Escherichia coli Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase Reveals a New Quaternary Architecture for This Enzyme Family AQ1

Lucile Moynie´, Marie-France Giraud, Florian Georgescauld, Ioan Lascu, and Alain Dautant* Institut de Biochimie et Ge´ne´tique Cellulaires, UMR 5095 CNRS-Universite´ Victor Segalen Bordeaux 2, 33077 Bordeaux cedex, France

ABSTRACT Nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK) catalyzes the transfer of g-phosphate from nucleoside triphosphates to nucleoside diphosphates. The subunit folding and the dimeric basic structural unit are remarkably the same for available structures but, depending on species, dimers self-associate to form hexamers or tetramers. The crystal structure of the Escherichia coli NDPK reveals a new tetrameric quaternary structure for this protein family. The two tetramers differ by the relative orientation of interacting dimmers, which face either the convex or the concave side of their central sheet as in either Myxococcus xanthus (type I) or E. coli (type II), respectively. In the type II tetramer, the subunits interact by a new interface harboring a zone called the Kpn loop as in hexamers, but by the opposite face of this loop. The evolutionary conservation of the interface residues indicates that this new quaternary structure seems to be the most frequent assembly mode in bacterial tetrameric NDP kinases.

homologues, it was often assumed that any tetrameric NDPK had the same quaternary structure than Mx-NDPK. We present here the X-ray structure of the Ec-NDPK ˚ resolution, the highest resolution of a NDPK at 1.6 A structure reported to date. The monomer folding and the strong dimer assembly are remarkably similar to all previously known structures. Two putative interfaces alternate between dimers in the Ec-NDPK crystal packing. At one interface, the Killer of prune (Kpn) loop and the helices a1 and a3 are buried with a likeness of hexameric assembly, whereas the other interface involves helix aA and the C-terminal turn of the protein, with a likeness of Mx-NDPK tetramer. The protein–protein interface analysis suggests that the biologically relevant tetramer is the one that buries the Kpn loop, revealing a new quaternary structure further referred to as type II tetramer. Nevertheless, in the hexameric and tetrameric type II NDPKs, the oligomerization interfaces are located on the opposite sides of the Kpn loop. This diversity of quaternary structure confirms the choice of NDPK family as a model for studying multimeric protein association.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Overexpression and Purification of the Ec-NDPK

INTRODUCTION Nucleoside diphosphate kinase (NDPK) catalyzes the transfer of g-phosphate from nucleoside triphosphates to nucleoside diphosphates. Biochemical studies have shown that the Escherichia coli NDPK1,2 (Ec-NDPK) like other NDPKs of some bacteria (Salmonella typhymurium3, Myxococcus xanthus4,5 (Mx-NDPK), Streptomyces coelicolor6) were tetrameric in contrast to all NDPKs from eukaryotes,7,8 archaea and other bacteria Bacillus subtilis,9 Mycobacterium tuberculosis10) which were hexameric. Up to now, the frontier between the two bacterial groups was not clear.11 The only known X-ray structure of a tetrameric form, noted further type I tetramer, was from M. xanthus with or without ADP5,12 or in complex with cAMP13 while fifty hexameric structures from fifteen different organisms have been solved (for a review see Ref. 7). Ec-NDPK consists of 142 amino acid residues2 shorter on the C-terminus by only 2 residues than Mx-NDPK and by 5–7 residues than the great majority of eukaryotic NDPKs but 7 residues longer than M. tuberculosis. Since Mx-NDPK sequence shares at least 55% identity with its bacterial

Ec-NDPK is the product of the ndk gene14. The protein Ec-NDPK was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 cells transformed with the plasmid ndkec (pJC20 is a pET derivative constructed by Dr M. Konrad). Cells were grown in 2YT medium containing 100 lg/mL ampicillin and induced with 1 mM IPTG when OD600 reached 0.5. Harvested cells were resuspended in buffer A (50 mM Tris/HCl pH 7.4, 1 mM DTT) and disrupted by sonication on ice. Cell debris were removed by centrifugation at 12,000 g for 30 min and the supernatant was loaded onto a Q-Sepharose column (Pharmacia) equilibrated with buffer A and eluted with a Grant sponsors: The Re´gion Aquitaine and Ministe`re de l’Education Nationale de la Recherche et de la Technologie. *Correspondence to: Alain Dautant, Institut de Biochimie et Ge´ne´tique Cellulaires, UMR 5095 CNRS-Universite´ Victor Segalen Bordeaux 2, 1 rue Camille Saint-Sae¨ns, 33077 Bordeaux cedex, France.

linear gradient of 0–1M NaCl. The active fraction was precipitated by 80% saturated ammonium sulphate (AMS). The precipitate was dissolved in a minimum volume of 60% saturated AMS buffer A and applied to a Sepharose 6B column (Pharmacia) equilibrated with 60% saturated AMS buffer A. Enzymes were eluted with a decreasing linear gradient of AMS from 60% to 20% saturation (salting-out chromatography). Active fractions were dialysed against 100% saturated AMS buffer A and the suspension was stored at 48C for future use. For crystallization, protein solutions were desalted on a G25 Sephadex column equilibrated with buffer A. Enzyme concentration was estimated using an extinction coefficient of 0.25 at 280 nm for 1 mg/mL solution from amino acid composition. Nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity was routinely assayed as described previously.15 Crystallization Crystallization screening was carried out with a Honeybee 961 robot (Cartesian Technology). Crystals appeared at 208C, by the sitting drop vapor diffusion method, a few hours after mixing 200 nL of protein solution (15 mg/mL) with 200 nL of reservoir solution containing 0.2M ammonium sulphate, 0.1M sodium acetate/ acetic acid buffer, pH 4.6 with either 30% PEG 2000 monomethyl ether or 25% PEG 4000 (Nextal, The Classics screen). The crystallization conditions were similar to those previously reported for Ec-NDPK2 and close to those found for Mx-NDPK (pH 5.2).5,12 Crystals were cryoprotected with the mother liquor containing 20% (v/v) glycerol and flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen.

˚ ) labelled from A to F. Each chain of the final 0.5(0.2) A model includes amino acids 2-143 (Fig. 1). Throughout this paper the residue numbering used is the Ec-NDPK one beginning at Met1 to facilitate comparisons with Mx-NDPK although the N-terminal methionine is missing in the E. coli recombinant protein (SWISS-PROT entry: NDK_ECOLI). Thus 5 must be added to obtain the Dictyostelium discoideum cytosolic NDPK (DdNDPK) numbering, which has been taken as reference for hexameric structures.24 Like all other NDPKs, the overall subunit structure is made of seven a helices, which partially cover the two faces of a central 4-stranded anti-parallel b sheet (Fig. 1). The backbone dihedral angles of all the non-Gly residues in each monomer fall in the allowed regions of the Ramachandran plot. All main and side chains are unambiguously defined in the electron density maps except in two loops (53–61 and 134–137). The loop (53–61) that connects the helices aA and a2 is highly solvent exposed in the set of chains A, C, and E. Like in all NDPK structures in absence of ligand, this loop is partially absent ˚ 2, Bave is the from electronic density maps (Bave ¼ 50(4) A average temperature factor). The flexibility of this region is required for nucleotide binding. For the set of chains B, D, and F, the crystal packing prevents this flexibility and even side chains of this loop show unambiguous densities. This loop adopts similar conformation for D and F ˚ 2) that have similar surroundings, chains (Bave ¼ 24(4) A ˚ 2). On but is slightly different for B chain (Bave ¼ 33(4)A the opposite wall of the nucleotide binding pocket, at the beginning of the Kpn loop, the chains (93–97) deviate once more according to the previously defined sets but

all the atoms are clearly visible in density maps (Bave ¼ ˚ 2). 26(3) A The region, called the Kpn loop (93–112), that connects the helix a3 (82–90) to the strand b4 (116–118) is well structured and encompasses a single turn helix called a30 .(103–107) The Kpn loop is so named because it contains, in Drosophila, the Killer of prune (Kpn) mutation that leads to a conditional lethal phenotype.25 Three intra-molecular hydrogen bonds between O-89 and N103, O-90 and N-104, as well as O-91 and Nh1-Arg104 interconnect the helices a3 and a30 creating a discontinuous bent helix. The bend angle between these helices is more pronounced in Ec-NDPK (368) and Mx-NDPK (278) than in Dd-NDPK (158), leading to maximum backbone ˚ at the end of the helix a30 and as far displacement of 3 A ˚ as 4.5 A at position 109. The a3–a30 linker is a spiral loop successively made up of a single turn of 310 helix (95– 97), a polyproline II stretch (98–100), and a type II bturn (99–102). In NDPKs, the b-turn is stabilized by an internal hydrogen bond from the Og-102 hydroxyl group to O-99. In this loop, a proline and a glycine are conserved in all hexameric interfaces at positions 100 and 105, respectively. Firstly, the replacement of this proline by an alanine in Ec-NDPK or by a glutamine in MxNDPK (or K/E/S/C in other bacterial NDPKs assumed to ˚ from be tetrameric) leads to a local distortion of 1.4 A a the hexameric C trace. Note that the presence of Gly101 (u ¼ 938, w ¼ 218) in Ec-NDPK allows the Og102 to preserve the internal hydrogen bond described above. Secondly, the replacement of the conserved Gly105 by an alanine as well as a lysine in Mx-NDPK could create a steric hindrance with carbonyl 98-O. Thus the main chain moves back putting the alanine Cb in place of the glycine Ca. Although the Kpn loop is solvent-exposed in Mx-NDPK whereas it is buried at an interface in Ec-NDPK, it adopts similar conformations in the two structures. In all available NDPK structures, a b-branched residue at position 115 is the central residue of a classical gturn and is located in a disfavored but allowed area of the Ramachandran plot. This turn, at the end of the Kpn loop, is important for a correct functional orientation of the catalytic histidine. In contrast, in the EcNDPK, there is a glycine (u ¼ 778, w ¼ 338), the turn is thus slightly relaxed and the hydrogen bond between N-115 and the amide group of Asn13 found in hexameric structures is absent. Nevertheless the location of the catalytic histidine is unchanged. Surprisingly, the residues 134–137, involved in a type II b-turn, are weakly defined in density maps for C, D, ˚ 2) and take part in the E, and F chains (Bave ¼ 38(4) A CD/EF interface described later, whereas they are better ˚ 2), where the ordered in A and B chains (Bave ¼ 28(3) A turn is solvent accessible. In Mx-NDPK, the main chain adopts a short 310 helix conformation and Gly134 is replaced by an arginine, which is the essential residue responsible of the tetrameric assembly. Two hydrogen bonds between O-35 and N-139 along with O-34 and Nh2-Arg141 anchor the fifth residue

The C-terminal residues are essential for correct folding and assembly of the enzyme since overexpression in E. coli of C-terminally truncated variants lacking of 5, 9 or 14 residues led to inclusion bodies.26 As expected from the high level of sequence identity (56%), the structures of Ec- and Mx-NDPK monomers ˚ .

The Active Site For each chain, one sulphate ion was found at the bottom of the active site cleft. It tightly interacts with conserved Lys11, Arg104, Asn114, and catalytic His117 along with Tyr51 via a water molecule. The sulphate ion approximately occupies a position similar to the b-phosphate in ADP-NDPK complexes.7 Despite the presence of this ion, the binding site is identical to the free form of M. xanthus enzyme. There was also such an anion in ammonium sulphate grown crystals of Dd-NDPK but it occupied a shallow position equivalent to the a-phosphate in ADP-NDPK complexes.27 By Ec-NDPK tetramer, three out of four sites are freely accessible but, in the case of D and F chains, Leu111 side chain from a neighboring tetramer is wedged between the Phe55 and Leu111 flanking residues of the cleft.

At the dimeric interface, two 2-fold non-crystallographic symmetry (NCS) related b2 strands pair side by side by two hydrogen bonds between O-37 and N-39 backbone atoms to form a continuous, anti-parallel 8stranded b-sheet spanning the whole dimer (Fig. 2; Table IIA). In the same way, non-polar interactions between two anti-parallel helices a1 contribute to the dimer stability. After dimerization, the Cys139 is no more accessible and a disulfide bridge cannot be easily formed. The importance of a thiol group on the enzyme stability of S. typhymurium NDPK (96% identical to EcNDPK having the single Cys139) has been evidenced.3 ˚ 2 of the solvent accessible Dimer contacts bury 1180 A surface area (asa) per isolated subunit, a value in the same range as equivalent interface areas observed in the Mx-NDPK or the hexameric NDPKs (Table III). The three dimers (AB, CD and EF) are similar (rms ˚ between them). Likewise, the deviations less than 0.5 A rms deviations for structurally equivalent Ca atoms of Mx-(2-139) and Dd-NDPK(4-139) with respect to Ec˚ respectively (Fig. 2). NDPK dimers are 1.1 and 1.4 A Therefore, whatever the quaternary structure (hexamer, type I or II tetramers), NDP kinases share the same dimeric basic structural unit.

Crystal Packing The crystal lattice shows stacked layers made of parallel rods constituted by blocks of six dimers roughly lined up along their minor inertia axis (Fig. 3). These axes are perpendicular to the b-sheet planes. Two different interfaces alternate in these blocks, therefore two types of assembly could be selected. One kind of tetramer associates the dimers AB with CD (red envelope) or the dimers EF with E‘F’ (green envelope). The noted E‘F’ counterpart of the half tetramer is formed from the coordinates of the dimer EF by applying the crystallographic 2-fold symmetry (x, y, 1  z). These two tetramers (ABCD and EFE‘F’) are similar ˚ ). On (rms deviation between the two tetramers is 0.46 A the other hand, the dimers CD and EF could participate in a fully different assembly (white envelope) with isolated AB dimer at the edge. The Interface CD/EF Results From Crystal Packing The interface between dimers CD and EF involves polar (Table IIC) and nonpolar interactions between the helix aA and the C-terminal part (130–135) of the protein. The two dimeric axes are not collinear with a short˚ avoiding the D2 symest distance between them of 6 A metry and therefore the assembly simply has a C2 symmetry. Depending on the interacting chains, these interfaces ˚ 2 (C/E and D/F) or 460 A ˚2 bury asa by monomer of 140 A (C/F and D/E) so smaller and furthermore less hydrophobic than regular protein–protein interfaces (Table IIC). Moreover if the crystal had grown from such tetramers,

the helices aA, a2, and a4 are exposed to the molecular surface (Fig. 4). One side of the Kpn loop interacts with the helices a1 and a3 at the tetrameric interface [Fig. 5(a)]. In hexamers,24 the trimeric interface occurs between the opposite side of the Kpn loop with the end of the helix a1 and also with the C-terminal extension of the protein [Fig. 5(b)]. The formation of such a tetramer buries an asa for ˚ 2 (6% of the asa of the monoeach subunit of about 470 A mer) with only one direct hydrogen bond between Arg26 side chain and Gly101 carbonyl [Fig. 5(a), Tables IIB PROTEINS: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics

The buried surface of the Kpn loop is mainly hydrophobic (60%), which alone contributes to half of the total buried surface. At the interface, the stacking of the guanidinium planes of Arg26 from 2-fold symmetry related subunits (Fig. 6) reminds the stacking between Arg134 and Arg38 at the tetrameric interface of Mx-NDPK [Fig. 5(c)].

At the centre of the tetramer, there is ˚ 3 lined by Asn22, Ala25, a small hydrated cavity of 30 A Arg26, and Tyr107. This cavity is without comparison with the large central cavity of hexameric assembly ˚ 3. Finally, inspection of the crystal lattice of about 2000 A shows that the crystal requires only such tetramers as building blocks (red and green envelopes on Fig. 3). The hydrophobic character of the interaction and size, shape, symmetry criteria32 bear out the identification of this interface as the relevant biological interface. Thus, this tetramer represents the 60 kDa oligomer found in solution by size exclusion chromatography.2,26 DISCUSSION Diversity in Quaternary Structures

Fig. 4. The nucleoside diphosphate kinase of E. coli shows a tetrameric quaternary structure. Two dimers are facing the concave side of their central sheet to form a type II NDPK tetramer. [Color figure can be viewed in the online issue, which is available at www.interscience.wiley.com.]

While the monomeric and dimeric structures of the nucleoside diphosphate kinases are remarkably similar, their quaternary structures exhibit an amazing diversity (Fig. 7). The two tetramer types differ by the orientation of the two interacting dimers. In M. xanthus (type I), dimers face the convex side of their central sheet whereas in E. coli (type II) they face the concave side. In the type I tetramer, the overall shape with maxi˚ 3 58 A ˚ 3 54 A ˚ is less compact mum dimensions of 76 A than Ec-NDPK. Mx-NDPK dimers interact by a salt bridge between residues Arg134 and Glu137 and three hydrogen bonds [Fig. 5(c)]. The dimeric axes are collinear and the tetramer adopts a D2 symmetry. From these observations, Williams and his collaborators have con-

For sake of clarity, only dimers and a trimer have been drawn. All the Kpn loops are colored in yellow. The upper subunits are fitted on a similar orientation in (a) and (b). The water molecules that expand the dimeric interface have been included in (a). In Ec-NDPK, the dimeric interface occurs on one side of the Kpn loop and the central part of helix a1 while in hexameric Dd-NDPK the trimeric interface involves the opposite side of the Kpn loop, the C-term end of the helix a1 and the carboxy end of the protein. In Mx-NDPK dimers interact by a salt bridge and hydrogen bonds.

cluded that it was unambiguously the biologically significant interface.5 In the type II tetramer, subunits interact by a new interface harboring the Kpn loop, as in hexamers but on the opposite face of this loop [Fig. 5(a,b)]. Diversity in quaternary architecture is not an exclusivity of NDPK family. For example, it is encountered in haemoglobin family33 and recently, the members of the S100 family of EF-hand calcium-binding proteins have been found to form dimers, tetramers, hexamers, and octamers.34 The Type II Quaternary Structure is More Prevalent in the Bacterial Tetrameric NDP Kinases F8

From the analysis of sequence alignment (Fig. 8) and available quaternary structure information, it appears that five residues at positions 30, 100, 105, 50, and 131 are relevant to classify the hexameric and tetrameric quaternary structures. Three of them (Lys30, Pro100, and Gly105) are important for the formation of hexamers. In PROTEINS: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics

that case, the  NH3þ group of Lys30 protrudes from the end of a1 towards one side of the Kpn loop of a neighboring molecule, more precisely the carboxyl end of helix a30 , and makes no less than three hydrogen bonds with the carbonyls O-95, O-105, and O-108 [Fig. 5(b)]. However, it must be pointed out that Deinococcus radiodurans NDPK with Lys30 but Ala105 is hexameric in solution (Mocan, I., unpublished results) whereas S. coelicolor NDPK with these three key residues but with an alanine residue inserted after Lys30 has been shown to form tetramers6 In type II tetramers, the replacement of Lys30 by a nonpositively charged residue comes with the change of Gly105 by Ala/Lys. In Ec-NDPK, the side chain of Ala30 is buried within the Kpn loop as mentioned already and the three carbonyls (95, 105, and 108) are fully accessible to the solvent. The main interface residue (Arg26) is highly conserved in all NDPKs including hexamers and Mx-NDPK, where it participates in intra-subunit salt bridges. Finally, the concomitant presence of a lysine at both positions 30 and 105 forbids the formation of hexamer as well as type II tetramer and leads to the formation of a

Among 200 available bacterial NDPK sequences, this simultaneous occurrence is exclusively observed in sequences of two Myxococcaceae (M. xanthus and Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans) and of one proteobacteria (Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique) and the Arg134 interface residue is present only in Mx-NDPK.

Then, two-thirds of the sequences can be predicted as type II tetramers, one-third as hexamers, and only a few as type I tetramer. Surprisingly, two aromatic side chains at both positions 50 and 131 are conserved in type I and II tetramers in place of His50 and Leu131 in hexamers. These two side chains are not directly engaged in the active

site or in any oligomerization interface but reinforce the hydrophobic character of helices aA and a4. Size exclusion chromatography and low-resolution biophysical techniques are not resolutive enough to differentiate between tetramer types hence more bacterial NDP kinase crystal structures will be required to accurately predict the type to which a NDP kinase belongs. Mutational studies of conserved residues present at interfaces should be also informative on oligomeric diversity. Does NDP Kinase Exist as Stable Dimers in Some Organisms? Biochemical data on bacterial NDPKs need to be reconsidered on the basis of this new structure. The present structural analysis shows that subunits interact more tightly across the dimeric basic unit than at the tetramerization interface. This is consistent with denaturation–renaturation experiments26 and with differential scanning microcalorimetric studies, indicating that EcNDPK tetramer first dissociates at relatively low temperature (37.58C) and unfolds irreversibly at 55.78C.36 These data suggest that folding/unfolding pathways could go through a dimeric intermediate. Recently protein–protein interactions studies by optical biosensor and analytical ultracentrifugation have shown that Ec-NDP kinase in micromolar range is in equilibrium between dimeric and tetrameric forms.37 Moreover the tetramer dissociation constant is decreased by an order of magnitude in the presence of 1 mM ADP or ATP. These results are in agreement with the loose association observed in the crystal state between two dimers. It has to be pointed out that the protein concentration used for crystallization was around 0.5 mM. Whether or not a nucleoside diphosphate kinase of some organisms may exist as a stable and active dimer in vivo is an interesting question.
