Abstract
Class II Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatases (FBPaseII) (EC: 3.1.3.11) are highly conserved essential enzymes in the gluconeogenic pathway of microorganisms. Previous crystallographic studies of FBPasesII provided insights into various inactivated states of the enzyme in different species. Presented here is the first crystal structure of FBPaseII in an active state, solved for the enzyme from Francisella tularensis (FtFBPaseII), containing native metal cofactor Mn2+ and complexed with catalytic product fructose-6-phosphate (F6P). Another crystal structure of the same enzyme complex is presented in the inactivated state due to the structural changes introduced by crystal packing. Analysis of the interatomic distances among the substrate, product, and divalent metal cations in the catalytic centers of the enzyme led to a revision of the catalytic mechanism suggested previously for class II FBPases. We propose that phosphate-1 is cleaved from the substrate fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (F1,6BP) by T89 in a proximal α-helix backbone (G88-T89-T90-I91-T92-S93-K94) in which the substrate transition state is stabilized by the positive dipole of the 〈-helix backbone. Once cleaved a water molecule found in the active site liberates the inorganic phosphate from T89 completing the catalytic mechanism. Additionally, a crystal structure of Mycobacterium tuberculosis FBPaseII (MtFBPaseII) containing a bound F1,6BP is presented to further support the substrate binding and novel catalytic mechanism suggested for this class of enzymes.

Abstract
The crystal structure of the class II fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPaseII) from the important pathogen Francisella tularensis is presented at 2.4 Å resolution. Its structural and functional relationships to the closely related phosphatases from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtFBPaseII) and Escherichia coli (EcFBPaseII) and to the dual phosphatase from Synechocystis strain 6803 are discussed. FBPaseII from F. tularensis (FtFBPaseII) was crystallized in a monoclinic crystal form (space group P21, unit-cell parameters a = 76.30, b = 100.17, c = 92.02 Å, β = 90.003°) with four chains in the asymmetric unit. Chain A had two coordinated Mg2+ ions in its active center, which is distinct from previous findings, and is presumably deactivated by their presence. The structure revealed an approximate 222 (D2) symmetry homotetramer analogous to that previously described for MtFBPaseII, which is formed by a crystallographic dyad and which differs from the exact tetramer found in EcFBPaseII at a 222 symmetry site in the crystal. Instead, the approximate homotetramer is very similar to that found in the dual phosphatase from Synechocystis, even though no allosteric effector was found in FtFBPase. The amino-acid sequence and folding of the active site of FtFBPaseII result in structural characteristics that are more similar to those of the previously published EcFBPaseII than to those of MtFBPaseII. The kinetic parameters of native FtFBPaseII were found to be in agreement with published studies. Kinetic analyses of the Thr89Ser and Thr89Ala mutations in the active site of the enzyme are consistent with the previously proposed mechanism for other class II bisphosphatases. The Thr89Ala variant enzyme was inactive but the Thr89Ser variant was partially active, with an approximately fourfold lower Km and Vmax than the native enzyme. The structural and functional insights derived from the structure of FtFBPaseII will provide valuable information for the design of specific inhibitors.

Abstract
IRP1 [iron regulatory protein (IRP) 1] is a bifunctional protein with mutually exclusive end-states. In one mode of operation, IRP1 binds iron-responsive element (IRE) stem-loops in messenger RNAs encoding proteins of iron metabolism to control their rate of translation. In its other mode, IRP1 serves as cytoplasmic aconitase to correlate iron availability with the energy and oxidative stress status of the cell. IRP1/IRE binding occurs through two separate interfaces, which together contribute about two-dozen hydrogen bonds. Five amino acids make base-specific contacts and are expected to contribute significantly to binding affinity and specificity of this protein:RNA interaction. In this mutagenesis study, each of the five base-specific amino acids was changed to alter binding at each site. Analysis of IRE binding affinity and translational repression activity of the resulting IRP1 mutants showed that four of the five contact points contribute uniquely to the overall binding affinity of the IRP1:IRE interaction, while one site was found to be unimportant. The stronger-than-expected effect on binding affinity of mutations at Lys379 and Ser681, residues that make contact with the conserved nucleotides G16 and C8, respectively, identified them as particularly critical for providing specificity and stability to IRP1:IRE complex formation. We also show that even though the base-specific RNA-binding residues are not part of the aconitase active site, their substitutions can affect the aconitase activity of holo-IRP1, positively or negatively.

Abstract
The nuclear protein cyclophilin 33 (Cyp33) is a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase that catalyzes cis-trans isomerization of the peptide bond preceding a proline and promotes folding and conformational changes in folded and unfolded proteins. The N-terminal RNA-recognition motif (RRM) domain of Cyp33 has been found to associate with the third plant homeodomain (PHD3) finger of the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) proto-oncoprotein and a poly(A) RNA sequence. Here, we report a 1.9 A resolution crystal structure of the RRM domain of Cyp33 and describe the molecular mechanism of PHD3 and RNA recognition. The Cyp33 RRM domain folds into a five-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet and two alpha-helices. The RRM domain, but not the catalytic module of Cyp33, binds strongly to PHD3, exhibiting a 2 muM affinity as measured by isothermal titration calorimetry. NMR chemical shift perturbation (CSP) analysis and dynamics data reveal that the beta strands and the beta2-beta3 loop of the RRM domain are involved in the interaction with PHD3. Mutations in the PHD3-binding site or deletions in the beta2-beta3 loop lead to a significantly reduced affinity or abrogation of the interaction. The RNA-binding pocket of the Cyp33 RRM domain, mapped on the basis of NMR CSP and mutagenesis, partially overlaps with the PHD3-binding site, and RNA association is abolished in the presence of MLL PHD3. Full-length Cyp33 acts as a negative regulator of MLL-induced transcription and reduces the expression levels of MLL target genes MEIS1 and HOXA9. Together, these in vitro and in vivo data provide insight into the multiple functions of Cyp33 RRM and suggest a Cyp33-dependent mechanism for regulating the transcriptional activity of MLL.

Abstract
Iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1) binds iron-responsive elements (IREs) in messenger RNAs (mRNAs), to repress translation or degradation, or binds an iron-sulfur cluster, to become a cytosolic aconitase enzyme. The 2.8 angstrom resolution crystal structure of the IRP1:ferritin H IRE complex shows an open protein conformation compared with that of cytosolic aconitase. The extended, L-shaped IRP1 molecule embraces the IRE stem-loop through interactions at two sites separated by approximately 30 angstroms, each involving about a dozen protein:RNA bonds. Extensive conformational changes related to binding the IRE or an iron-sulfur cluster explain the alternate functions of IRP1 as an mRNA regulator or enzyme.

Abstract
Iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1) is a bifunctional protein with activity as an RNA-binding protein or as a cytoplasmic aconitase. Interconversion of IRP1 between these mutually exclusive states is central to cellular iron regulation and is accomplished through iron-responsive assembly and disassembly of a [4Fe-4S] cluster. When in its apo form, IRP1 binds to iron responsive elements (IREs) found in mRNAs encoding proteins of iron storage and transport and either prevents translation or degradation of the bound mRNA. Excess cellular iron stimulates the assembly of a [4Fe-4S] cluster in IRP1, inhibiting its IRE-binding ability and converting it to an aconitase. The three-dimensional structure of IRP1 in its different active forms will provide details of the interconversion process and clarify the selective recognition of mRNA, Fe-S sites and catalytic activity. To this end, the apo form of IRP1 bound to a ferritin IRE was crystallized. Crystals belong to the monoclinic space group P2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 109.6, b = 80.9, c = 142.9 A, beta = 92.0 degrees. Native data sets have been collected from several crystals with resolution extending to 2.8 A and the structure has been solved by molecular replacement.
