    Abstract We explored the Protein Data Bank (PDB) to collect protein-ssDNA structures and create a multi-conformational docking benchmark including both bound and unbound protein structures. Due to ssDNA high flexibility when not bound, no ssDNA unbound structure is included in the benchmark. For the 91 sequence-identity groups identified as bound-unbound structures of the same protein, we studied the conformational changes in the protein induced by the ssDNA binding. Moreover, based on several bound or unbound protein structures in some groups, we also assessed the intrinsic conformational variability in either bound or unbound conditions and compared it to the supposedly binding-induced modifications. To illustrate a use case of this benchmark, we performed docking experiments using ATTRACT docking software. This benchmark is, to our knowledge, the first one made to peruse available structures of ssDNA-protein interactions to such an extent, aiming to improve computational docking tools dedicated to this kind of molecular interactions.

    Abstract Coiled-coil domain is a structural motif found in proteins crucial for achievement of central biological processes, such as cellular cohesion or neuro-transmission. The coiled-coil fold consists of alpha-helices bundle that can be repeated to form larger filament. Hydrophobic residues, distributed following a regular seven-residues' pattern, named heptad pattern, are commonly admitted to be essential for the formation and the stability of canonical coiled-coil repeats. Here we investigated the first three coiled-coil repeats (R1-R3) of the central domain of dystrophin, a scaffolding protein in muscle cells whose deficiency leads to Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophies. By an atomic description of the hydrophobic interactions, we highlighted (i) that coiled-coil filament conformational changes are associated to specific patterns of inter-helices hydrophobic contacts, (ii) that inter-repeat hydrophobic interactions determine the behavior of linker regions including filament kinks, and (iii) that a non-strict conservation of the heptad patterns is leading to a relative plasticity of the dystrophin coiled-coil repeats. These structural features and modulations of the coiled-coil fold could better explain the mechanical properties of the central domain of dystrophin. This contribution to the understanding of the structure-function relationship of dystrophin, and especially of the R1-R3 fragment frequently used in the design of protein for gene therapies, should help in the improvement of the strategies for the cure of muscular dystrophies.

    Abstract Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are important drivers of horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes. They are responsible for antimicrobial resistance spread, a major current health concern. ICEs are initially processed by relaxases that recognize the binding site of oriT sequence and nick at a conserved nic site. The ICESt3/Tn916/ICEBs1 superfamily, which is widespread among Firmicutes, encodes uncanonical relaxases belonging to a recently identified family called MOBT. This family is related to the rolling circle replication initiators of the Rep_trans family. The nic site of these MOBT relaxases is conserved but their DNA binding site is still unknown. Here, we identified the bind site of RelSt3, the MOBT relaxase from ICESt3. Unexpectedly, we found this bind site distantly located from the nic site. We revealed that the binding of the RelSt3 N-terminal HTH domain is required for efficient nicking activity. We also deciphered the role of RelSt3 in the initial and final stages of DNA processing during conjugation. Especially, we demonstrated a strand transfer activity, and the formation of covalent DNA-relaxase intermediate for a MOBT relaxase.

    Abstract Emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants raise concerns about our ability to withstand the Covid-19 pandemic, and therefore, understanding mechanistic differences of those variants is crucial. In this study, we investigate disparities between the SARS-CoV-2 wild type and five variants that emerged in late 2020, focusing on the structure and dynamics of the spike protein interface with the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor, by using crystallographic structures and extended analysis of microsecond molecular dynamics simulations. Dihedral angle principal component analysis (PCA) showed the strong similarities in the spike receptor binding domain (RBD) dynamics of the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta variants, in contrast with those of WT and Epsilon. Dynamical perturbation networks and contact PCA identified the peculiar interface dynamics of the Delta variant, which cannot be directly imputable to its specific L452R and T478K mutations since those residues are not in direct contact with the human ACE2 receptor. Our outcome shows that in the Delta variant the L452R and T478K mutations act synergistically on neighboring residues to provoke drastic changes in the spike/ACE2 interface; thus a singular mechanism of action eventually explains why it dominated over preceding variants.

    Abstract Dystrophin is a large intracellular protein that prevents sarcolemmal ruptures by providing a mechanical link between the intracellular actin cytoskeleton and the transmembrane dystroglycan complex. Dystrophin deficiency leads to the severe muscle wasting disease Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and the milder allelic variant, Becker Muscular Dystrophy (DMD and BMD). Previous work has shown that concomitant interaction of the actin binding domain 2 (ABD2) comprising spectrin like repeats 11 to 15 (R11-15) of the central domain of dystrophin, with both actin and membrane lipids, can greatly increase membrane stiffness. Based on a combination of SAXS and SANS measurements, mass spectrometry analysis of cross-linked complexes and interactive low-resolution simulations, we explored in vitro the molecular properties of dystrophin that allow the formation of ABD2-F-actin and ABD2-membrane model complexes. In dystrophin we identified two subdomains interacting with F-actin, one located in R11 and a neighbouring region in R12 and another one in R15, while a single lipid binding domain was identified at the C-terminal end of R12. Relative orientations of the dystrophin central domain with F-actin and a membrane model were obtained from docking simulation under experimental constraints. SAXS-based models were then built for an extended central subdomain from R4 to R19, including ABD2. Overall results are compatible with a potential F-actin/dystrophin/membrane lipids ternary complex. Our description of this selected part of the dystrophin associated complex bridging muscle cell membrane and cytoskeleton opens the way to a better understanding of how cell muscle scaffolding is maintained through this essential protein.

    Abstract Scaffolding proteins play important roles in supporting the plasma membrane (sarcolemma) of muscle cells. Among them, dystrophin strengthens the sarcolemma through protein-lipid interactions, and its absence due to gene mutations leads to the severe Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Most of the dystrophin protein consists of a central domain made of 24 spectrin-like coiled-coil repeats (R). Using small angle neutron scattering (SANS) and the contrast variation technique, we specifically probed the structure of the three first consecutive repeats 1-3 (R1-3), a part of dystrophin known to physiologically interact with membrane lipids. R1-3 free in solution was compared to its structure adopted in the presence of phospholipid-based bicelles. SANS data for the protein/lipid complexes were obtained with contrast-matched bicelles under various phospholipid compositions to probe the role of electrostatic interactions. When bound to anionic bicelles, large modifications of the protein three-dimensional structure were detected, as revealed by a significant increase of the protein gyration radius from 42 ± 1 to 60 ± 4 Å. R1-3/anionic bicelle complexes were further analyzed by coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. From these studies, we report an all-atom model of R1-3 that highlights the opening of the R1 coiled-coil repeat when bound to the membrane lipids. This model is totally in agreement with SANS and click chemistry/mass spectrometry data. We conclude that the sarcolemma membrane anchoring that occurs during the contraction/elongation process of muscles could be ensured by this coiled-coil opening. Therefore, understanding these structural changes may help in the design of rationalized shortened dystrophins for gene therapy. Finally, our strategy opens up new possibilities for structure determination of peripheral and integral membrane proteins not compatible with different high-resolution structural methods.
