| Abstract | Protein degradation, which occurs in all cells, is essential for proper cellular function by regulating many cellular processes, destroying misfolded proteins, and providing protein building blocks under starvation conditions. As proteolysis is a destructive process, it is carried out by tightly regulated enzymes that evolved to interact with their protein substrates in a highly controlled and selective manner. The agents of protein degradation include proteasomes, AAA+ proteolytic machines found in all kingdoms of life. The bacterial proteasome specifically recognizes proteins conjugated to a protein tag termed Pup, with the proteasome regulatory particle, a ring-shaped hexamer termed Mpa in mycobacteria, being responsible for Pup recognition. Once Pup binds Mpa, Pup enters the central pore, where the Mpa AAA+ domain links ATP hydrolysis to the translocation of Pup and its conjugated substrate into a barrel-shaped proteasome core particle, where peptide bond cleavage occurs. As Pup traverses the Mpa pore en route to the AAA+ domain, it passes the inter-domain. Although the inter-domain is conserved in all proteasomes, its role in substrate processing remained unclear. We report here that the Mpa inter-domain promotes Pup binding via electrostatic interactions between conserved charged inter-domain pore loops and charged Pup residues. As such, the inter-domain serves as a gatekeeper that selects for Pup binding, thus facilitating tag interaction with the downstream AAA+ domain. Our findings thus reveal the existence of an additional level of substrate binding regulation in an AAA+ protease. |
