Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to threaten global health. This underpins the need for novel therapeutics against this virus. Nonstructural protein 1 (Nsp1) of SARS-CoV-2 is a multifunctional protein with an essential role in viral replication. As such, it presents itself as an attractive target for drug discovery. Here, we describe two crystallographic fragment-screening campaigns against Nsp1, one using the established F2X-Entry Screen and one using a new, chemically and structurally diverse fragment library, which we call the KIT library. Together, 21 hits could be identified from 192 screened fragments, which constitutes the highest hit rate reported for Nsp1 to date. Many hits bind to a key functional region and interact with residues involved in cellular mRNA cleavage, ribosome binding and viral RNA recognition. Furthermore, most of the identified fragments share a common binding mode, providing promising starting points for further optimization into drug-like compounds that can disrupt the role of Nsp1 in viral replication.
严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2 (SARS-CoV-2)继续威胁着全球健康。这表明需要针对这种病毒的新疗法。SARS-CoV-2的非结构蛋白1 (Nsp1)是一种多功能蛋白,在病毒复制中起重要作用。因此,它是药物发现的一个有吸引力的目标。在这里,我们描述了针对Nsp1的两种晶体学片段筛选活动,一种使用已建立的F2X-Entry Screen,另一种使用新的,化学和结构多样化的片段库,我们称之为KIT库。总共从192个筛选片段中识别出21个命中,这是迄今为止Nsp1报告的最高命中率。许多命中结合到一个关键的功能区域,并与残基相互作用,参与细胞mRNA切割,核糖体结合和病毒RNA识别。此外,大多数鉴定的片段具有共同的结合模式,这为进一步优化成药物样化合物提供了有希望的起点,这些化合物可以破坏Nsp1在病毒复制中的作用。

Methanol, a sustainable and cost-effective C1 compound, has been considered as a promising substrate for the biosynthesis of fuels and value-added chemicals. Synthetic methylotrophs have been developed by integrating natural methanol-assimilation pathways into non-native microbial hosts, with NAD+-dependent methanol dehydrogenases (MDHs) serving as attractive candidates for methanol oxidation. NAD+-dependent MDH1 from the methylotrophic bacterium Bacillus methanolicus MGA3 (BmMDH1) is one of the extensively studied MDHs. Although structural models of BmMDH1 had been proposed, its crystal structure had not been experimentally determined. In this study, the crystal structure of BmMDH1 is reported at 3.0 Å resolution. BmMDH1 forms a decamer made up of five dimers, stabilized by ionic and hydrogen-bonding interactions. Each monomer exhibits a conserved fold which is typical of the type III alcohol dehydrogenase family, comprising an N-terminal α/β dinucleotide-binding domain and a C-terminal all-α helical domain. Similar to other enzymes in this family, it has an NAD+-binding site formed by a Rossmann fold. As a metalloenzyme, BmMDH1 features a metal ion in its active site, coordinated by three histidine residues (His197, His262 and His276) and one aspartate residue (Asp193). Enzyme-activity assays identified Mn2+ as the most effective metal ion for supporting in vitro enzymatic activity. These findings provide essential structural insights for the rational engineering of methanol-utilizing biocatalysts, thereby advancing sustainable microbial biomanufacturing.
甲醇是一种可持续发展且具有成本效益的C1化合物,被认为是生物合成燃料和增值化学品的有前途的底物。通过将天然甲醇同化途径整合到非天然微生物宿主中,合成的甲基营养物已经被开发出来,其中NAD+依赖的甲醇脱氢酶(MDHs)是甲醇氧化的有吸引力的候选者。来自甲基营养杆菌methanolicus芽孢杆菌MGA3 (BmMDH1)的NAD+依赖性MDH1是被广泛研究的MDH1之一。虽然已经提出了BmMDH1的结构模型,但其晶体结构尚未被实验确定。本研究以3.0 Å分辨率报道了BmMDH1的晶体结构。BmMDH1形成由五个二聚体组成的十聚体,通过离子和氢键相互作用稳定。每个单体都具有典型的III型醇脱氢酶家族的保守折叠,包括n端α/β二核苷酸结合结构域和c端全α螺旋结构域。与这个家族中的其他酶类似,它有一个由罗斯曼折叠形成的NAD+结合位点。BmMDH1作为一种金属酶,其活性位点上有一个金属离子,由三个组氨酸残基(His197、His262和His276)和一个天冬氨酸残基(Asp193)协同作用。酶活性测定表明,Mn2+是支持体外酶活性最有效的金属离子。这些发现为甲醇利用生物催化剂的合理工程提供了重要的结构见解,从而促进了可持续的微生物生物制造。

The explosion of cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) over the last decade has brought with it a range of new approaches for gaining high-resolution structural information on previously inaccessible biological systems. Cryo-EM single-particle analysis (SPA) approaches typically entail overexpression and purification of the target protein. Larger and more complex molecular assemblies often require extensive optimization of the expression, purification and reconstitution procedures. Additionally, prior knowledge of the composition of the structure of interest is required. Approaches employing cryo-focused ion beam (FIB) milling and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) have proven incredibly useful for exploring protein structures within cells while maintaining near-native conditions. Such strategies avoid purification of the target protein or protein complex, yet are often still limited in throughput and achievable resolution. Here, we highlight recent studies demonstrating that the range of samples suitable for SPA is expanding towards increasingly more native samples. We specifically focus on studies investigating complex macromolecular assemblies where tailored sample-preparation strategies made them amenable for SPA, while still keeping them in close-to-native conditions. These examples show that SPA has become a discovery tool for de novo protein identification and complex stoichiometry in more complex and thicker samples.
在过去的十年中,低温电子显微镜(cryo-EM)的爆炸式发展带来了一系列新的方法,用于获得以前无法获得的生物系统的高分辨率结构信息。低温电镜单颗粒分析(SPA)方法通常需要过表达和纯化目标蛋白。更大更复杂的分子组装往往需要广泛的优化表达,纯化和重组程序。此外,需要预先了解感兴趣结构的组成。采用低温聚焦离子束(FIB)研磨和低温电子断层扫描(cryo-ET)的方法已被证明对探索细胞内的蛋白质结构非常有用,同时保持接近天然的条件。这种策略避免了靶蛋白或蛋白复合物的纯化,但通常仍然在吞吐量和可实现的分辨率上受到限制。在这里,我们强调了最近的研究表明,适合SPA的样品范围正在向越来越多的原生样品扩展。我们特别专注于研究复杂的大分子组装,其中定制的样品制备策略使它们适合SPA,同时仍保持它们接近天然条件。这些例子表明,SPA已经成为在更复杂和更厚的样品中进行从头蛋白质鉴定和复杂化学计量学的发现工具。

Particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) is an enzyme that converts methane into methanol at ambient temperature and pressure. Over the past three decades, the metal content and location of the active site have been highly controversial. Recent single-particle cryogenic electron-microscopy (cryo-EM) structures have furthered this debate. In this study, three cryo-EM structures (PDB entries 7s4h, 7s4j and 7ev9) are analysed by quantum refinement (QR). This approach augments traditional structural refinement with quantum-mechanical (QM) calculations for a small but interesting part of the protein (in this case, the copper sites). Our results indicate that the bis-His (CuA) site is correctly modelled as a mononuclear copper site in all three structures. The His-brace (CuB) site is also best modelled as mononuclear in all structures, although it was suggested to be a binuclear site in PDB entry 7ev9. The CuC site, which is observed only in PDB entry 7s4j, is correctly modelled and is probably reduced in the structure. The CuD putative active site, observed only in PDB entry 7s4h, is also mononuclear, but a water molecule might at least intermittently coordinate to the copper ion. On the other hand, our study does not find any support for the five additional copper ions suggested to be present in PDB entry 7ev9, including the suggested trinuclear active site and two sites in the so-called copper sponge. Instead, more chemically reasonable structures and better fit to both the cryo-EM and QM data are obtained if these copper ions are replaced with water molecules. This study illustrates the potential of QR as a standard component of cryo-EM studies for metal sites, for which reliable empirical restraints are missing.
颗粒甲烷单加氧酶(pMMO)是一种在环境温度和压力下将甲烷转化为甲醇的酶。在过去的三十年里,金属含量和活性部位的位置一直备受争议。最近的单粒子低温电子显微镜(cryo-EM)结构进一步推动了这一争论。在本研究中,通过量子细化(QR)分析了三个低温电镜结构(PDB条目7s4h, 7s4j和7ev9)。这种方法通过量子力学(QM)计算蛋白质的一个小而有趣的部分(在这种情况下,是铜位点),增强了传统的结构精细化。我们的结果表明,在所有三种结构中,双his (CuA)位点被正确地模拟为单核铜位点。尽管在PDB入口7ev9中被认为是双核位点,但在所有结构中,His-brace (CuB)位点也被最好地建模为单核位点。仅在PDB条目7s4j中观察到的CuC位点是正确建模的,并且可能在结构中减少了。CuD假定的活性位点,仅在PDB进入7s4h时观察到,也是单核的,但水分子可能至少间歇性地与铜离子配合。另一方面,我们的研究没有发现任何支持PDB入口7ev9中存在的五个额外铜离子,包括建议的三核活性位点和所谓的铜海绵中的两个位点。相反,如果用水分子代替这些铜离子,则可以获得更合理的化学结构,并且更适合低温电镜和量子显微镜数据。这项研究说明了QR作为低温电子显微镜研究金属位点的标准组成部分的潜力,因为缺乏可靠的经验限制。

Heterogeneity in cryoEM is essential for capturing the structural variability of macromolecules, reflecting their functional states and biological significance. However, estimating heterogeneity remains challenging due to particle misclassification and algorithmic biases, which can lead to reconstructions that blend distinct conformations or fail to resolve subtle differences. Furthermore, the low signal-to-noise ratio inherent in cryo-EM data makes it nearly impossible to detect minute structural changes, as noise often obscures subtle variations in macromolecular projections. In this paper, we investigate the use of p-values associated with the null hypothesis that the observed classification differs from a random partition of the input data set, thereby providing a statistical framework for determining the number of distinguishable classes present in a given data set.
低温电镜的异质性对于捕获大分子的结构变异性,反映其功能状态和生物学意义至关重要。然而,由于粒子错误分类和算法偏差,估计异质性仍然具有挑战性,这可能导致混合不同构象的重建或无法解决细微差异。此外,低温电镜数据固有的低信噪比使得几乎不可能检测到微小的结构变化,因为噪声通常会掩盖大分子投影的细微变化。在本文中,我们研究了与观察到的分类不同于输入数据集的随机分区的零假设相关的p值的使用,从而提供了一个统计框架,用于确定给定数据集中存在的可区分类的数量。

Categorizing prediction modes within low-pLDDT regions of AlphaFold2 structures: near-predictive, pseudostructure and barbed wire. AlphaFold2结构低plddt区域的分类预测模式:近预测、伪结构和铁丝网。

AlphaFold2 protein structure predictions are widely available for structural biology uses. These predictions, especially for eukaryotic proteins, frequently contain extensive regions predicted below the pLDDT = 70 level, the rule-of-thumb cutoff for high confidence. This work identifies major modes of behavior within low-pLDDT regions through a survey of human proteome predictions provided by the AlphaFold Protein Structure Database. The near-predictive mode resembles folded protein and can be a nearly accurate prediction. Barbed wire is extremely unprotein-like, being recognized by wide looping coils, an absence of packing contacts and numerous signature validation outliers, and it represents a region where the conformation has no predictive value. Pseudostructure presents an intermediate behavior with a misleading appearance of isolated and badly formed secondary-structure-like elements. These prediction modes are compared with annotations of disorder from MobiDB, showing general correlation between barbed wire/pseudostructure and many measures of disorder, an association between pseudostructure and signal peptides, and an association between near-predictive and regions of conditional folding. To enable users to identify these regions within a prediction, a new Phenix tool is developed encompassing the results of this work, including prediction annotation, visual markup and residue selection based on these prediction modes. This tool will help users develop expertise in interpreting difficult AlphaFold predictions and identify the near-predictive regions that can aid in molecular replacement when a prediction does not contain enough high-pLDDT regions.
AlphaFold2蛋白结构预测广泛应用于结构生物学。这些预测,特别是对真核蛋白质的预测,经常包含大量低于pLDDT = 70水平的预测区域,这是高置信度的经验截断值。这项工作通过对AlphaFold蛋白质结构数据库提供的人类蛋白质组预测的调查,确定了低plddt区域的主要行为模式。近乎预测的模式类似于折叠的蛋白质,可以是一个近乎准确的预测。带刺铁丝非常不像蛋白质,可以通过宽环形线圈识别,没有包装接触和许多签名验证异常值,并且它代表了一个构象没有预测价值的区域。伪结构表现为一种中间行为,具有孤立的和形成不良的二级结构样元素的误导外观。这些预测模式与MobiDB的无序注释进行了比较,显示出铁丝网/假结构与许多无序测量之间的普遍相关性,假结构与信号肽之间的相关性,以及接近预测和条件折叠区域之间的相关性。为了使用户能够在预测中识别这些区域,我们开发了一个新的Phenix工具,包含了这项工作的结果,包括预测注释、可视化标记和基于这些预测模式的残留物选择。该工具将帮助用户开发解释困难的AlphaFold预测的专业知识,并确定接近预测的区域,当预测不包含足够的高plddt区域时,可以帮助进行分子替换。

Streptomyces griseolus CYP105A1 exhibits monooxygenase activity towards a wide variety of structurally diverse substrates with regiospecificity and stereospecificity, making it suitable for broad applications. Our previous studies have demonstrated that both wild-type CYP105A1 and its mutants metabolize vitamin D3 and its derivatives, as well as 12 types of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and statins. Notably, the R84A mutant displayed high activity against vitamin D3, numerous NSAIDs and statins. Although we were unable to obtain CYP105A1-statin complex structures through co-crystallization and standard cryo data collection, we successfully acquired complex structures with mevastatin and simvastatin using room-temperature data collection with a conventional capillary method. We observed that the reduced unit-cell dimensions of the cryo crystals resulted in increased symmetry interactions, which induced cis-trans conversion of the peptide bond between Pro142 and Thr143 and conformational changes in the residues critical for statin binding. It is suggested that these increased symmetry interactions in the cryo crystals lead to dissociation of the statins from the active site of the enzyme.
灰灰链霉菌CYP105A1对多种结构多样的底物表现出单加氧酶活性,具有区域特异性和立体特异性,具有广泛的应用前景。我们之前的研究表明,野生型CYP105A1及其突变体都能代谢维生素D3及其衍生物,以及12种非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)和他汀类药物。值得注意的是,R84A突变体对维生素D3、多种非甾体抗炎药和他汀类药物表现出高活性。虽然我们无法通过共结晶和标准低温数据收集获得cyp105a1 -他汀复合物结构,但我们通过常规毛细管法室温数据收集成功获得了与美伐他汀和辛伐他汀的复合物结构。我们观察到,冷冻晶体的单位细胞尺寸减小导致对称相互作用增加,这导致Pro142和Thr143之间肽键的顺反转换以及他汀结合关键残基的构象变化。这表明,这些增加的对称相互作用在低温晶体导致他汀类药物从酶的活性部位解离。
