Recombinant expression and preliminary characterization of Peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans-isomerase Rrd1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0282749. [PMID: 37310980 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0282749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Sacchromycescerevisiae Peptidyl-prolylcis/trans-isomerase Rrd1 has been linked to DNA repair, bud morphogenesis, advancement of the G1 phase, DNA replication stress, microtubule dynamics and is also necessary for the quick decrease in Sgs1p levels in response to rapamycin. In present study, Rrd1 gene was amplified by standard PCR and subsequently cloned downstream to bacteriophage T7 inducible promoter and lac operator of expression vector pET21d(+). Additionally, immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) was used to purify the protein upto its homogeneity, and its homogeneous purity was further confirmed through western blotting. Size exclusion chromatography implies that Rrd1 is existing as monomer in its natural state. Foldwise Rrd1 protein belongs to PTPA-like protein superfamily. Rrd1 showed characteristic negative minima at 222 and 208 nm represent protein typically acquired α helix in the far-UV CD spectra. Fluorescence spectra showed properly folded tertiary structures of Rrd1 at physiological conditions. Rrd1protein can be identified from different species using a fingerprint created by PIPSA analysis. The protein's abundance could aid in its crystallization, biophysical characterization and identification of other-interacting partners of Rrd1 protein.

Abstract
The largest subunit of RNAPII extends as the conserved unstructured heptapeptide consensus repeats Y1S2P3T4S5P6S7 and their posttranslational modification, especially the phosphorylation state at Ser2, Ser5 and Ser7 of CTD recruits different transcription factors involved in transcription. In the current study, fluorescence anisotropy, pull down assay and molecular dynamics simulation studies employed to conclude that peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans-isomerase Rrd1 has strong affinity for unphosphorylated CTD rather than phosphorylated CTD for mRNA transcription. Rrd1 preferentially interacts with unphosphorylated GST-CTD in comparison to hyperphosphorylated GST-CTD in vitro. Fluorescence anisotropy revealed that recombinant Rrd1 prefers to bind unphosphorylated CTD peptide in comparison to phosphorylated CTD peptide. In computational studies, the RMSD of Rrd1-unphosphorylated CTD complex was greater than the RMSD of Rrd1-pCTD complex. During 50 ns MD simulation run Rrd1-pCTD complex get dissociated twice viz. 20 ns to 30 ns and 40 ns to 50 ns, while Rrd1-unpCTD complex remain stable throughout the process. Additionally, the Rrd1-unphosphorylated CTD complexes acquire comparatively higher number of H-bonds, water bridges and hydrophobic interactions occupancy than Rrd1-pCTD complex, concludes that the Rrd1 interacts more strongly with the unphosphorylated CTD than the pCTD.

Recombinant expression and biophysical characterization of Mrt4 protein that involved in mRNA turnover and ribosome assembly from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Bioengineered 2022; 13:9103-9113.

Abstract
The mRNA turnover and ribosome assembly are facilitated by Mrt4 protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In present study, we are reporting the cloning, expression and homogeneous purification of recombinant Mrt4. Mrt4 is a 236-amino-acid-long nuclear protein that plays a very crucial role in mRNA turnover and ribosome assembly during the translation process. mrt4 gene was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and cloned in expression vector pET23a (+) under the bacteriophage T7-inducible promoter and lac operator. Furthermore, protein was purified to homogeneity using immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) and its homogeneous purification was further validated by immunoblotting with anti-His antibody. The far-UV CD spectra represent that Mrt4 has a typical α helix with characteristic negative minima at 222 and 208 nm. At physiological pH, the fluorescence spectra and CD spectra showed properly folded tertiary and secondary structures of Mrt4, respectively. Saccharomyces Mrt4 protein possesses putative bipartite NLS (nuclear localization signal) at the N-terminal part followed by two well-conserved domains, rRNA-binding domains and translation factor (TF) binding domain. PIPSA analysis evaluates electrostatic interaction properties of proteins and concluded that Mrt4 protein can be used as a fingerprint for classifying Mrt4-like mRNA turnover protein from various species. The availability of an ample amount of protein may help in its biochemical and biophysical characterization, crystallization and identification of new interacting partners of Mrt4.

Bharati AP, Kumari S, Akhtar MS. Proteome analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae after methyl methane sulfonate (MMS) treatment. Biochem Biophys Rep 2020; 24:100820. [PMID: 33072891 PMCID: PMC7548944 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrep.2020.100820] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2020] [Revised: 09/02/2020] [Accepted: 09/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The treatment of methyl methane sulfonate (MMS) increases sensitivity to the DNA damage which, further leads to the cell death followed by a cell cycle delay. Delay in the cell cycle is because of the change in global transcription regulation which results into proteome change. There are several microarray studies on the transcriptome changes after MMS treatment, but very few studies are reported related to proteome change. The proteome analysis in this report identified subgroups of proteins, belonging to known cell cycle regulators, metabolic pathways and protein folding. About 53 proteins were identified by MS/MS and found that 36 of them were induced, 10 were repressed and few of them showed insignificant change. Our results indicated the change in the interactome as well as phosphorylation status of carboxy terminal domain (CTD) of RNA Polymerase II (RNAP-II) after MMS treatment. The RNAP-II complex was affinity purified and ~1640 peptides were identified using nano LC/MS corresponding to 27 interacting proteins along with the twelve RNAP-II subunit. These identified proteins participated in the repair of the damage, changes the function of the main energetic pathways and the carbon flux in various end products. The main metabolic enzymes in the glycolysis, pyruvate phosphate and amino acid biosynthesis pathways showed significant change. Our results indicate that DNA damage is somehow related to these pathways and is co-regulated simultaneously.
