Abstract
Death receptors (DR) selectively drive cancer cells to apoptosis upon binding to the Tumor necrosis factor-a-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL). Complex formation induces the oligomerization of the death receptors DR4 (TRAIL-R1) and DR5 (TRAIL-R2) and transduces the apoptogenic signal to their respective death domains, leading to Death Inducing Signaling Complex (DISC) formation, caspase activation and ultimately cell death. Several crystal structures of the ExtraCellular Domain from Death Receptor 5 (DR5-ECD) have been reported in complex with the TRAIL ligand or anti-DR5 antibodies, but none for the isolated protein. In order to fill this gap and to perform binding experiments with TRAIL peptidomimetics, we have produced isotopically labelled DR5-ECD and started a conformational analysis by using high-field 3D NMR spectroscopy. Herein, we present the first resonance assignment of a TRAIL receptor in solution and the determination of its secondary structure from NMR chemical shifts.

Abstract
The protein Rgd1 is involved in the regulation of cytoskeleton formation and in signalling pathways that control cell polarity and growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Rgd1p is composed of a F-BAR domain required for membrane binding and a RhoGAP domain responsible for activating Rho3p and Rho4p, two GTPases respectively involved in bud growth and cytokinesis. Rgd1p is recruited to the membrane through interactions with phosphoinositide lipids, which bind the two isolated domains and stimulate the RhoGAP activity on Rho4p. As previously shown by crystallography, the membrane-binding F-BAR domain contains a conserved inositol phosphate binding site, which explains the preferential binding of phosphoinositides. In contrast, RhoGAP domains are not expected to bind lipids. In order to unravel this puzzling feature, we solved the three-dimensional structure of the isolated protein and found a cryptic phosphoinositide binding site involving non conserved residues (Martinez et al. 2017). The assignment of the resonances and secondary structure of Rgd1-RhoGAP (aa 450-666) is presented here.

Abstract
The ribosomal protein S1, in Escherichia coli, is necessary for the recognition by the ribosome of the translation initiation codon of most messenger RNAs. It also participates in other functions. In particular, it stimulates the T4 endoribonuclease RegB, which inactivates some of the phage mRNAs, when their translation is no longer required, by cleaving them in the middle of their Shine-Dalgarno sequence. In each function, S1 seems to target very different RNAs, which led to the hypothesis that it possesses different RNA-binding sites. We previously demonstrated that the ability of S1 to activate RegB is carried by a fragment of the protein formed of three consecutive domains (domains D3, D4, and D5). The same fragment plays a central role in all other functions. We analyzed its structural organization and its interactions with three RNAs: two RegB substrates and a translation initiation region. We show that these three RNAs bind the same area of the protein through a set of systematic (common to the three RNAs) and specific (RNA-dependent) interactions. We also show that, in the absence of RNA, the D4 and D5 domains are associated, whereas the D3 and D4 domains are in equilibrium between open (noninteracting) and closed (weakly interacting) forms and that RNA binding induces a structural reorganization of the fragment. All of these results suggest that the ability of S1 to recognize different RNAs results from a high adaptability of both its structure and its binding surface.

Abstract
Cateslytin (bCGA (344)RSMRLSFRARGYGFR(358)), a five positively charged 15 amino-acid residues arginine-rich antimicrobial peptide, was synthesized using a very efficient procedure leading to high yields and to a 99% purity as determined by HPLC and mass spectrometry. Circular dichroism, polarized attenuated total reflectance fourier transformed infrared, polarization modulation infrared reflection Absorption spectroscopies and proton two-dimensional NMR revealed the flexibility of such a peptide. Whereas being mostly disordered as a dry powder or in water solution, the peptide acquires a alpha-helical character in the "membrane mimicking" solvent trifuoroethanol. In zwitterionic micelles of dodecylphophatidylcholine the helical character is retained but to a lesser extent, the peptide returning mainly to its disordered state. A beta-sheet contribution of almost 100% is detected at the air-water interface. Such conformational plasticity is discussed regarding the antimicrobial action of Cateslytin.

Abstract
Inactivation of RNA molecules by sequence-specific endoribonucleolytic cleavage is a subtle mechanism by which cells regulate gene expression. Sequence-specific endoribonucleases can recognize and cleave particular phosphodiester bonds confined within hundreds/thousands of chemically similar bonds. Here, we present a comparative analysis of the mechanisms used by endoribonucleases to select and cleave their target RNA molecules. This analysis is based on the very recent molecular details obtained from the structural and/or biochemical studies of nine sequence-specific ribonucleases that target messenger, ribosomal, and transfer RNA molecules. This analysis shows that despite the absence of sequence homologies and the wide diversity of biological sources (prokaryotes, archaea and eukaryotes), the sequence-specific ribonucleases studied here adopt limited structural folds, catalyze their cleavage reactions using a common chemistry and involve a very limited set of amino acids for both RNA binding and processing.

Abstract
The RegB endoribonuclease participates in the bacteriophage T4 life cycle by favoring early messenger RNA breakdown. RegB specifically cleaves GGAG sequences found in intergenic regions, mainly in translation initiation sites. Its activity is very low but can be enhanced up to 100-fold by the ribosomal 30 S subunit or by ribosomal protein S1. RegB has no significant sequence homology to any known protein. Here we used NMR to solve the structure of RegB and map its interactions with two RNA substrates. We also generated a collection of mutants affected in RegB function. Our results show that, despite the absence of any sequence homology, RegB has structural similarities with two Escherichia coli ribonucleases involved in mRNA inactivation on translating ribosomes: YoeB and RelE. Although these ribonucleases have different catalytic sites, we propose that RegB is a new member of the RelE/YoeB structural and functional family of ribonucleases specialized in mRNA inactivation within the ribosome.

Abstract
Escherichia coli (E. coli) remains the most efficient widely-used host for recombinant protein production. Well-known genetics, high transformation efficiency, cultivation simplicity, rapidity and inexpensiveness are the main factors that contribute to the selection of this host. With the advent of the post-genomic era has come the need to express in this bacterium a growing number of genes originating from different organisms. Unfortunately, many of these genes severely interfere with the survival of E. coli cells. They lead to bacteria death or cause significant defects in bacteria growth that dramatically decrease expression capabilities. In this paper, we review special strategies and genetics tools successfully used to express, in E. coli, highly toxic genes. Suppression of basal expression from leaky inducible promoters, suppression of read-through transcription from cryptic promoters, tight control of plasmids copy numbers and proteins production as inactive (but reversible) forms are among the solutions presented and discussed. Special expression vectors and modified E. coli strains are listed and their effectiveness illustrated with key examples, some of which are related to our study of the highly toxic phage T4 restriction endoribonuclease RegB. We mainly selected those strategies and tools that permit E. coli normal growth until the very moment of highly toxic gene induction. Expression then occurs efficiently before cells die. Because they do not target a particular toxic effect, these strategies and tools can be used to express a wide variety of highly toxic genes.

Abstract
The bacteriophage T4 genome-encoded ribonuclease RegB is the unique well-defined restriction endoribonuclease. This protein cleaves with an almost absolute specificity its RNA substrate in the middle of the GGAG tetranucleotide mainly found in the Shine-Dalgarno sequence (required for the prokaryotic initiation of the translation). This protein has no significant homology to any known ribonuclease and its structure has never been investigated. The extreme toxicity of this ribonuclease prevents the expression of large quantities for structural studies. Here, we show that the toxicity of RegB can be bypassed by using the RegB H48A point mutant and explain why resolving the structure of this mutant is relevant. For nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) purposes, we report the preparation of highly pure (13)C/(15)N double-labelled 1.2mM samples of RegB H48A using a high yield expression procedure in minimal medium (30 mg/L). We also present a set of solution conditions that maintain the concentrated samples of this protein stable for long periods at the NMR-required temperature. Finally, we present the first (1)H/(15)N and (1)H/(13)C two-dimensional NMR spectra of RegB H48A. These spectra show that the protein is folded and that the full structural analysis of RegB by NMR is feasible.

Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinase subunit (CKS) proteins bind to cyclin-dependent kinases and target various proteins to phosphorylation and proteolysis during cell division. Crystal structures showed that CKS can exist both in a closed monomeric conformation when bound to the kinase and in an inactive C-terminal beta-strand-exchanged conformation. With the exception of the hinge loop, however, both crystal structures are identical, and no new protein interface is formed in the dimer. Protein engineering studies have pinpointed the crucial role of the proline 90 residue of the p13(suc1) CKS protein from Schizosaccharomyces pombe in the monomer-dimer equilibrium and have led to the concept of a loaded molecular spring of the beta-hinge motif. Mutation of this hinge proline into an alanine stabilizes the protein and prevents the occurrence of swapping. However, other mutations further away from the hinge as well as ligand binding can equally shift the equilibrium between monomer and dimer. To address the question of differential affinity through relief of the strain, here we compare the ligand binding of the monomeric form of wild-type S. pombe p13(suc1) and its hinge mutant P90A in solution by NMR spectroscopy. We indeed observed a 5-fold difference in affinity with the wild-type protein being the most strongly binding. Our structural study further indicates that both wild-type and the P90A mutant proteins adopt in solution the closed conformation but display different dynamic properties in the C-terminal beta-sheet involved in domain swapping and protein interactions.

Abstract
The WW domain of the human PIN1 and p13(SUC1), a subunit of the cyclin-dependent kinase complex, were previously shown to be involved in the regulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase complex activity at the entry into mitosis, by an unresolved molecular mechanism. We report here experimental evidence for the direct interaction of p13(SUC1) with a model CDC25 peptide, dependent on the phosphorylation state of its threonine. Chemical shift perturbation of backbone (1)H(N), (15)N, and (13)Calpha resonances during NMR titration experiments allows accurate identification of the binding site, primarily localized around the anion-binding site, occupied in the crystal structure of the homologous p9(CKSHs2) by a sulfate molecule. The epitope recognized by p13(SUC1) includes the proline at position +1 of the phosphothreonine, as was shown by the decrease in affinity for a mutated CDC25 phosphopeptide, containing an alanine/proline substitution. No direct interaction between the PIN1 WW domain or its catalytic proline cis/trans-isomerase domain and p13(SUC1) was detected, but our study showed that in vitro the WW domain of the human PIN1 antagonizes the binding of the p13(SUC1) to the CDC25 phosphopeptide, by binding to the same phosphoepitope. We thus propose that the full cyclin-dependent kinase complex stimulates the phosphorylation of CDC25 through binding of its p13(SUC1) module to the phosphoepitope of the substrate and that the reported WW antagonism of p13(SUC1)-stimulated CDC25 phosphorylation is caused by competitive binding of both protein modules to the same phosphoepitope.

Abstract
A homologue of the human site-specific prolyl cis/trans isomerase PIN1 was identified in Arabidopsis thaliana. The PIN1At gene encodes a protein of 119 amino acids that is 53% identical with the catalytic domain of the human PIN1 parvulin. Steady-state PIN1At mRNA is found in all plant tissues tested. We show by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy that the PIN1At is a prolyl cis/trans isomerase with specificity for phosphoserine-proline bonds. PIN1At is the first example of an eukaryotic parvulin without N- or C-terminal extensions. The N-terminal WW domain of 40 amino acids, typical of all the phosphorylation-dependent eukaryotic parvulins, is absent. However, triple-resonance NMR experiments showed that PIN1At contained a hydrophobic helix similar to the alpha1 helix observed in PIN1 that could mediate the protein-protein interactions.

Abstract
The mechanism of beta-sheet formation remains a fundamental issue in our understanding of the protein folding process, but is hampered by the often encountered kinetic competition between folding and aggregation. The role of local versus nonlocal interactions has been probed traditionally by mutagenesis of both turn and strand residues. Recently, rigid organic molecules that impose a correct chain reversal have been introduced in several small peptides to isolate the importance of the long-range interactions. Here, we present the incorporation of a well-studied beta-turn mimic, designated as the dibenzofuran-based (DBF) amino acid, in the B1 domain of streptococcal protein G (B1G), and compare our results with those obtained upon insertion of the same mimic into the N-terminal beta-hairpin of B1G (O Melnyk et al., 1998, Lett Pept Sci 5:147-150). The DBF-B1G domain conserves the structure and the functional and thermodynamical properties of the native protein, whereas the modified peptide does not adopt a native-like conformation. The nature of the DBF flanking residues in the modified B1G domain prevents the beta-turn mimic from acting as a strong beta-sheet nucleator, which reinforces the idea that the native beta-hairpin formation is not driven by the beta-turn formation, but by tertiary interactions.

Abstract
The CKS1At gene product, p10CKS1At from Arabidopsis thaliana, is a member of the cyclin-dependent kinase subunit (CKS) family of small proteins. These proteins bind the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)/cyclin complexes and play an essential, but still not precisely known role in cell cycle progression. To solve the structure of p10CKS1At, a protocol was needed to produce the quantity of protein large enough for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The first attempt to express CKS1At in Escherichia coli under the control of the T7 promoter was not successful. E. coli BL21(DE3) cotransformed with the CKS1At gene and the E. coli argU gene that encoded the arginine acceptor tRNAUCU produced a sufficient amount of p10CKS1At to start the structural study by NMR. Replacement of four rare codons in the CKS1At gene sequence, including a tandem arginine, by highly used codons in E. coli, restored also a high expression of the recombinant protein. Double-isotopic enrichment by 13C and 15N is reported that will facilitate the NMR study. Isotopically labeled p10CKS1At was purified to yield as much as 55 mg from 1 liter of minimal media by a two-step chromatographic procedure. Preliminary results of NMR spectroscopy demonstrate that a full structural analysis using triple-resonance spectra is feasible for the labeled p10CKS1At protein.

Abstract
A 21-residue peptide, P1AQFD5ADELR10AAMKG15LGTDE20D, corresponding to the (helix A)-loop motif of the second repeat of human annexin I, was synthesized and studied by 2D proton NMR. The conformational properties of the peptide were characterized at different temperatures in pure aqueous solution and in a TFE/H2O (1:4 v/v) mixture. In pure aqueous solution, the peptide adopts a preferred conformation, comprising both elements of native and nonnative structures. A high alpha helix content is present in the DADELRA segment, which corresponds to an initiation site in the middle of the native alpha helix sequence. At the N-terminus flanking region, a particular nonnative folding is revealed by the J(NH-CH alpha) coupling constants and a set of unusual NOE connectivities which correspond to a helix interrupt at the first D residue. Addition of relatively small amount of TFE restores the native helix fold at the C-terminus but not at the N-terminus. On the contrary, the nonnative N-terminus structure is clearly stabilized by TFE. Our data indicate that this structure comprises (i) an Asp5-x-x-Glu8 N-terminal capping box, as recently named by Harper and Rose [Harper, E. T., & Rose, G. D. (1993) Biochemistry 32, 7605-7609], (ii) a (i,i + 3) Asp7-x-x-Arg10 salt bridge, and (iii) a hydrophobic cluster centered on Phe4 which mainly interacts with Leu9 but also with Ala2, Ala6, and Ala12 in a dynamic way. This structure is rather stable since it is still observed at 293 K in aqueous solution and 313 K in the presence of TFE. It constitutes a very potent initiation site of the alpha helix structure. This is, however, a nonnative structure involving highly conserved residues in the whole annexin family and thus may play an important role in the folding pathway as a transient "compacting helper".
