Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a chloride channel activated by PKA phosphorylation on the regulatory (R) domain. Phosphorylation at several R domain residues stimulates ATP-dependent channel openings and closings, termed channel gating. To explore the protein segment responsible for channel potentiation and PKA-dependent activation, deletion mutations were constructed by removing 1 to 3 protein segments of the R domain, including residues 708-759 (ΔR708-759), R760-783 and R784-835, each of which contains one or two PKA phosphorylation sites. Deletion of R708-759 or R760-783 had little effect on CFTR gating, whereas all mutations lacking R784-835 reduced CFTR activity by decreasing the mean burst duration (MBD) and increasing the interburst interval (IBI). The data suggest that R784-835 plays a major role in stimulating CFTR gating. For ATP-associated regulation, ∆R784-835 had minor impact on gating potentiation by 2'dATP, CaATP and pyrophosphate. Interestingly, introducing a phosphorylated peptide matching R809-835 shortened the IBI of ΔR708-835-CFTR. Consistently, ΔR815-835, but not ΔR784-814, enhanced IBI, whereas both reduced MBD. These data suggest that entire R784-835 is required for stabilizing the open state of CFTR; however, R815-835 through interactions with the channel is dominant for enhancing the opening rate. Of note, PKA markedly decreased the IBI of ΔR708-783-CFTR. Conversely, the IBI of ΔR708-814-CFTR was short and PKA-independent. These data reveal that for stimulating CFTR gating, PKA phosphorylation may relieve R784-814-mediated auto-inhibition that prevents IBI shortening by R815-835 This mechanism may elucidate how the R domain potentiates channel gating and may unveil CFTR stimulation by other protein kinases. Published under license by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are ancient enzymes that play a fundamental role in protein synthesis. They catalyze the esterification of specific amino acids to the 3'-end of their cognate tRNAs and therefore play a pivotal role in protein synthesis. Although previous studies suggest that aaRS-dependent errors in protein synthesis can be beneficial to some microbial species, evidence that reduced aaRS fidelity can be adaptive is limited. Using bioinformatics analyses, we identified two distinct leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) genes within all genomes of the archaeal family Sulfolobaceae. Remarkably, one copy, designated LeuRS-I, had key amino acid substitutions within its editing domain that would be expected to disrupt hydrolytic editing of mischarged tRNALeu and to result in variation within the proteome of these extremophiles. We found that another copy, LeuRS-F, contains canonical active sites for aminoacylation and editing. Biochemical and genetic analyses of the paralogs within Sulfolobus islandicus supported the hypothesis that LeuRS-F, but not LeuRS-I, functions as an essential tRNA synthetase that accurately charges leucine to tRNALeu for protein translation. Although LeuRS-I was not essential, its expression clearly supported optimal S. islandicus growth. We conclude that LeuRS-I may have evolved to confer a selective advantage under the extreme and fluctuating environmental conditions characteristic of the volcanic hot springs in which these archaeal extremophiles reside. Published under license by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.Protein maturation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) depends on a fine balance between oxidative protein folding and quality control mechanisms, which together ensure high-capacity export of properly folded proteins from the ER. Oxidative protein folding needs to be regulated to avoid hyperoxidation. The folding capacity of the ER is regulated by the unfolded protein response (UPR) and ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The UPR is triggered by unfolded protein stress and leads to up-regulation of cellular components such as chaperones and folding catalysts. These components relieve stress by increasing folding capacity and up-regulating ERAD components that remove non-native proteins. Although oxidative protein folding and the UPR/ERAD pathways each are well understood, very little is known about any direct cross-talk between them. In this study, we carried out comprehensive in vitro activity and binding assays, indicating that the oxidative protein folding relay formed by ER oxidoreductin 1 (Ero1) and protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) can be inactivated by a feedback inhibition mechanism involving unfolded proteins and folding intermediates when their levels exceed the folding capacity of the system. This mechanism allows client proteins to remain mainly in the reduced state and thereby minimizes potential futile oxidation-reduction cycles and may also enhance ERAD, which requires reduced protein substrates. Relief from excess levels of non-native proteins by increasing the levels of folding factors removed the feedback inhibition. These results reveal regulatory cross-talk between the oxidative protein folding and UPR and ERAD pathways. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/AP24534.html Published under license by The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc.The initiation of intracellular host cell colonization by symbiotic rhizobia in Medicago truncatula requires repolarization of root hairs, which includes the re-arrangement of cytoskeletal filaments. The molecular players governing microtubule (MT) re-organization during rhizobial infections remain to be discovered. Here, we identified M. truncatula DREPP, a member of the microtubule binding DREPP/PCaP protein family and investigated its functions during rhizobial infections. We show that rhizobial colonization of drepp mutant roots as well as transgenic roots over-expressing DREPP is impaired. DREPP re-localizes into symbiosis-specific membrane nanodomains in a stimulus-dependent manner. This subcellular segregation coincides with DREPP-dependent MT fragmentation and a partial loss of the ability to re-organize the MT cytoskeleton in response to rhizobia, which might rely on an interaction between DREPP and the MT organizing protein SPIRAL2 (SPR2). Taken together, our results reveal that establishment of symbiotic associations in M.
