Abstract:
The DEAH-box ATPase Prp2 plays a key role in the activation of the spliceosome as it promotes the transition from the Bact to the catalytically active B* spliceosome. Here, four crystal structures of Prp2 are reported: one of the nucleotide-free state and three different structures of the ADP-bound state. The overall conformation of the helicase core, formed by two RecA-like domains, does not differ significantly between the ADP-bound and the nucleotide-free states. However, intrinsic flexibility of Prp2 is observed, varying the position of the C-terminal domains with respect to the RecA domains. Additionally, in one of the structures a unique ADP conformation is found which has not been observed in any other DEAH-box, DEAD-box or NS3/NPH-II helicase.
摘要:
DEAH-boxATPasePrp2在剪接体的激活中起关键作用,因为它促进了从Bact到催化活性B*剪接体的转变。这里,报道了Prp2的四种晶体结构:无核苷酸状态之一和ADP结合状态的三种不同结构。解旋酶核心的整体构象,由两个类似RecA的域组成,在ADP结合状态和无核苷酸状态之间没有显着差异。然而,观察到Prp2的内在柔韧性,改变C端结构域相对于RecA结构域的位置。此外,在其中一个结构中,发现了独特的ADP构象,在任何其他DEAH-box中均未观察到,DEAD-box或NS3/NPH-II解旋酶。
