Simultaneous Recording of Remote Domain Dynamics in Membrane Proteins Using the Double-Labeled DXB/DXT Technique. MEMBRANES 2024; 14:75.

Abstract
Protein dynamics play important roles in biological functions, which accompany allosteric structure changes. Diffracted X-ray blinking (DXB) uses monochromatic X-rays and nanocrystal probes. The intramolecular motion of target proteins is analyzed from the intensity changes in detector signals at the diffraction rings. In contrast, diffracted X-ray tracking (DXT) elucidates molecular dynamics by analyzing the trajectories of Laue spots. In this study, we have developed a dual-labeling technique for DXB and DXT, allowing the simultaneous observation of motions at different domains in proteins. We identified zinc oxide (ZnO) crystals as promising candidates for the second labeling probes due to their excellent diffraction patterns, high chemical stability, and favorable binding properties with proteins. The diffraction spots from the ZnO crystals are sufficiently separated from those of gold, enabling independent motion analysis at different domains. Dual-labeling DXB was employed for the motion analysis of the 5-HT2A receptor in living cells. Simultaneous motion recording of the N-terminus and the second extracellular loop demonstrated ligand-induced motion suppression at both domains. The dual-labeling DXT technique demonstrated a capsaicin-induced peak shift in the two-dimensional motion maps at the N-terminus of the TRPV1 protein, but the peak shift was not obvious in the C-terminus. The capsaicin-induced motion modulation was recovered by the addition of the competitive inhibitor AMG9810.

Abstract
Diffusion coefficients often vary across regions, such as cellular membranes, and quantifying their variation can provide valuable insight into local membrane properties such as composition and stiffness. Toward quantifying diffusion coefficient spatial maps and uncertainties from particle tracks, we use a Bayesian method and place Gaussian Process (GP) Priors on the maps. For the sake of computational efficiency, we leverage inducing point methods on GPs arising from the mathematical structure of the data giving rise to non-conjugate likelihood-prior pairs. We analyze both synthetic data, where ground truth is known, as well as data drawn from live-cell single-molecule imaging of membrane proteins. The resulting tool provides an unsupervised method to rigorously map diffusion coefficients continuously across membranes without data binning.

Abstract
X-ray crystallography has revolutionized our understanding of biological macromolecules by elucidating their three-dimensional structures. However, the use of X-rays in this technique raises concerns about potential damage to the protein crystals, which results in a quality degradation of the diffraction data even at very low temperatures. Since such damage can occur on the micro- to millisecond timescale, a development in its real-time measurement has been expected. Here, we introduce diffracted X-ray blinking (DXB), which was originally proposed as a method to analyze the intensity fluctuations of diffraction of crystalline particles, to small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) of a lysozyme single-crystal. This novel technique, called the small-angle X-ray blinking (SAXB) method, analyzes the fluctuation in SAXS intensity reflecting the domain fluctuation in the protein crystal caused by the X-ray irradiation, which could be correlated with the X-ray-induced damage on the crystal. There was no change in the protein crystal's domain dynamics between the first and second X-ray exposures at 95K, each of which lasted 0.7 s. On the other hand, its dynamics at 295K increased remarkably. The SAXB method further showed a dramatic increase in domain fluctuations with an increasing dose of X-ray radiation, indicating the significance of this method.

Abstract
The CCT/TRiC complex is a type II chaperonin that undergoes ATP-driven conformational changes during its functional cycle. Structural studies have provided valuable insights into the mechanism of this process, but real-time dynamics analyses of mammalian type II chaperonins are still scarce. We used diffracted X-ray tracking (DXT) to investigate the intramolecular dynamics of the CCT complex. We focused on three surface-exposed loop regions of the CCT1 subunit: the loop regions of the equatorial domain (E domain), the E and intermediate domain (I domain) juncture near the ATP-binding region, and the apical domain (A domain). Our results showed that the CCT1 subunit predominantly displayed rotational motion, with larger mean square displacement (MSD) values for twist (χ) angles compared with tilt (θ) angles. Nucleotide binding had a significant impact on the dynamics. In the absence of nucleotides, the region between the E and I domain juncture could act as a pivotal axis, allowing for greater motion of the E domain and A domain. In the presence of nucleotides, the nucleotides could wedge into the ATP-binding region, weakening the role of the region between the E and I domain juncture as the rotational axis and causing the CCT complex to adopt a more compact structure. This led to less expanded MSD curves for the E domain and A domain compared with nucleotide-absent conditions. This change may help to stabilize the functional conformation during substrate binding. This study is the first to use DXT to probe the real-time molecular dynamics of mammalian type II chaperonins at the millisecond level. Our findings provide new insights into the complex dynamics of chaperonins and their role in the functional folding cycle.

Abstract
In 1998, the diffracted X-ray tracking (DXT) method pioneered the attainment of molecular dynamics measurements within individual molecules. This breakthrough revolutionized the field by enabling unprecedented insights into the complex workings of molecular systems. Similar to the single-molecule fluorescence labeling technique used in the visible range, DXT uses a labeling method and a pink beam to closely track the diffraction pattern emitted from the labeled gold nanocrystals. Moreover, by utilizing X-rays with extremely short wavelengths, DXT has achieved unparalleled accuracy and sensitivity, exceeding initial expectations. As a result, this remarkable advance has facilitated the search for internal dynamics within many protein molecules. DXT has recently achieved remarkable success in elucidating the internal dynamics of membrane proteins in living cell membranes. This breakthrough has not only expanded our knowledge of these important biomolecules but also has immense potential to advance our understanding of cellular processes in their native environment.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) is a multimodal receptor which responds to various stimuli, including capsaicin, protons, and heat. Recent advances in cryo-electron microscopy have revealed the structures of TRPV1. However, due to the large size of TRPV1 and its structural complexity, the detailed process of channel gating has not been well documented. In this study, we applied the diffracted X-ray tracking (DXT) technique to analyze the intracellular domain dynamics of the TRPV1 protein. DXT enables the capture of intramolecular motion through the analysis of trajectories of Laue spots generated from attached gold nanocrystals. Diffraction data were recorded at two different frame rates: 100 μs/frame and 12.5 ms/frame. The data from the 100 μs/frame recording were further divided into two groups based on the moving speed, using the lifetime filtering technique, and they were analyzed separately. Capsaicin increased the slope angle of the MSD curve of the C-terminus in 100 μs/frame recording, which accompanied a shifting of the rotational bias toward the counterclockwise direction, as viewed from the cytoplasmic side. This capsaicin-induced fluctuation was not observed in the 12.5 ms/frame recording, indicating that it is a high-frequency fluctuation. An intrinsiccounterclockwise twisting motion was observed in various speed components at the N-terminus, regardless of the capsaicin administration. Additionally, the competitive inhibitor AMG9810 induced a clockwise twisting motion, which is the opposite direction to capsaicin. These findings contribute to our understanding of the activation mechanisms of the TRPV1 channel.
