    Abstract Membrane transporters that use proton binding and proton transfer for function couple local protonation change with changes in protein conformation and water dynamics. Changes of protein conformation might be required to allow transient formation of hydrogen-bond networks that bridge proton donor and acceptor pairs separated by long distances. Inter-helical hydrogen-bond networks adjust rapidly to protonation change, and ensure rapid response of the protein structure and dynamics. Membrane transporters with known three-dimensional structures and proton-binding groups inform on general principles of protonation-coupled protein conformational dynamics. Inter-helical hydrogen bond motifs between proton-binding carboxylate groups and a polar sidechain are observed in unrelated membrane transporters, suggesting common principles of coupling protonation change with protein conformational dynamics.

    Abstract Proteins that bind protons at cell membrane interfaces often expose to the bulk clusters of carboxylate and histidine sidechains that capture protons transiently and, in proton transporters, deliver protons to an internal site. The protonation-coupled dynamics of bulk-exposed carboxylate clusters, also known as proton antennas, is poorly described. An essential open question is how water-mediated bridges between sidechains of the cluster respond to protonation change and facilitate transient proton storage. To address this question, here I studied the protonation-coupled dynamics at the proton-binding antenna of PsbO, a small extrinsinc subunit of the photosystem II complex, with atomistic molecular dynamics simulations and systematic graph-based analyses of dynamic protein and protein-water hydrogen-bond networks. The protonation of specific carboxylate groups is found to impact the dynamics of their local protein-water hydrogen-bond clusters. Regardless of the protonation state considered for PsbO, carboxylate pairs that can sample direct hydrogen bonding, or bridge via short hydrogen-bonded water chains, anchor to nearby basic or polar protein sidechains. As a result, carboxylic sidechains of the hypothesized antenna cluster are part of dynamic hydrogen bond networks that may rearrange rapidly when the protonation changes.

    Abstract Dynamic hydrogen bonds and hydrogen-bond networks are ubiquitous in proteins and protein complexes. Functional roles that have been assigned to hydrogen-bond networks include structural plasticity for protein function, allosteric conformational coupling, long-distance proton transfers, and transient storage of protons. Advances in structural biology provide invaluable insights into architectures of large proteins and protein complexes of direct interest to human physiology and disease, including G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCRs) and the SARS-Covid-19 spike protein S, and give rise to the challenge of how to identify those interactions that are more likely to govern protein dynamics. This Perspective discusses applications of graph-based algorithms to dissect dynamical hydrogen-bond networks of protein complexes, with illustrations for GPCRs and spike protein S. H-bond graphs provide an overview of sites in GPCR structures where hydrogen-bond dynamics would be required to assemble longer-distance networks between functionally important motifs. In the case of spike protein S, graphs identify regions of the protein where hydrogen bonds rearrange during the reaction cycle and where local hydrogen-bond networks likely change in a virus variant of concern.

    Abstract Membrane-bound proteins that change protonation during function use specific protein groups to bind and transfer protons. Knowledge of the identity of the proton-binding groups is of paramount importance to decipher the reaction mechanism of the protein, and protonation states of prominent are studied extensively using experimental and computational approaches. Analyses of model transporters and receptors from different organisms, and with widely different biological functions, indicate common structure-sequence motifs at internal proton-binding sites. Proton-binding dynamic hydrogen-bond networks that are exposed to the bulk might provide alternative proton-binding sites and proton-binding pathways. In this perspective article I discuss protonation coupling and proton binding at internal and external carboxylate sites of proteins that use proton transfer for function. An inter-helical carboxylate-hydroxyl hydrogen-bond motif is present at functionally important sites of membrane proteins from archaea to the brain. External carboxylate-containing H-bond clusters are observed at putative proton-binding sites of protonation-coupled model proteins, raising the question of similar functionality in spike protein S.

    Abstract Microbial rhodopsins are membrane proteins that use the energy absorbed by the covalently bound retinal chromophore to initiate reaction cycles resulting in ion transport or signal transduction. Thousands of distinct microbial rhodopsins are known and, for many rhodopsins, three-dimensional structures have been solved with structural biology, including as entire sets of structures solved with serial femtosecond crystallography. This sets the stage for comprehensive studies of large datasets of static protein structures to dissect structural elements that provide functional specificity to the various microbial rhodopsins. A challenge, however, is how to analyze efficiently intra-molecular interactions based on large datasets of static protein structures. Our perspective discusses the usefulness of graph-based approaches to dissect structural movies of microbial rhodopsins solved with time-resolved crystallography.

    Abstract Transmembrane substrate cleavage by the small Escherichia coli rhomboid protease GlpG informs on mechanisms by which lipid interactions shape reaction coordinates of membrane-embedded enzymes. Here, I review and discuss new work on the molecular picture of protein-lipid interactions that might govern the formation of the substrate-enzyme complex in fluid lipid membranes. Negatively charged PG-type lipids are of particular interest, because they are a major component of bacterial membranes. Atomistic computer simulations indicate POPG and DOPG lipids bridge remote parts of GlpG and might pre-occupy the substrate-docking site. Inhibition of catalytic activity by PG lipids could arise from ligand-like lipid binding at the active site, which could delay or prevent substrate docking. Dynamic protein-lipid H-bond networks, water access to the active site, and fluctuations in the orientation of GlpG suggest that GlpG has lipid-coupled dynamics that could shape the energy landscape of transmembrane substrate docking.

    Abstract Changes in structure and dynamics elicited by agonist ligand binding at the extracellular side of G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) must be relayed to the cytoplasmic G protein binding side of the receptors. To decipher the role of water-mediated hydrogen-bond networks in this relay mechanism, we have developed graph-based algorithms and analysis methodologies applicable to datasets of static structures of distinct GPCRs. For a reference dataset of static structures of bovine rhodopsin solved at the same resolution, we show that graph analyses capture the internal protein-water hydrogen-bond network. The extended analyses of static structures of rhodopsins and opioid receptors suggest a relay mechanism whereby inactive receptors have in place much of the internal core hydrogen-bond network required for long-distance relay of structural change, with extensive local H-bond clusters observed in structures solved at high resolution and with internal water molecules.
