Anaphase Promoting Complex00:50

Anaphase Promoting Complex

2.9K
The stepwise destruction of specific proteins is necessary for the progression and completion of the cell cycle. Such proteins are ubiquitinated by ubiquitin ligases and then subsequently destroyed by the proteasome. The SCF (Skp1/Cullin/F-box) and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC) are two important ubiquitin ligases involved in cell cycle progression. While SCF is active throughout the cell cycle, APC gets activated during metaphase to anaphase transition. Cdc20 or Cdh1 binds to APC and...

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway01:20

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway

9.1K
Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as  SH2...

Amplifying Signals via Enzymatic Cascade

8.6K
When a ligand binds to a cell-surface receptor, the receptor's intracellular domain changes shape, which may either activate its enzyme function or allow its binding to other molecules. The initial signal is amplified by most signal transduction pathways. This means that a single ligand molecule can activate multiple molecules of a downstream target. Proteins that relay a signal are most commonly phosphorylated at one or more sites, activating or inactivating the protein. Kinases catalyze...

Protein Kinases and Phosphatases02:54

Protein Kinases and Phosphatases

13.3K
Proteins undergo chemical modifications that trigger changes in the charge, structure, and conformation of the proteins. Phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, nitrosylation, ubiquitination, lipidation, methylation, and proteolysis are various protein modifications that regulate protein activity. Such modifications are usually enzyme-driven.
Protein kinases
Many proteins in the cell are regulated by phosphorylation, the addition of a phosphate group. A family of enzymes called kinases...

cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase Pathways01:25

cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase Pathways

6.5K
Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) is an essential second messenger that activates protein kinase A (PKA) and regulates various biological processes. A single epinephrine molecule binds to GPCR and activates several heterotrimeric G proteins, each stimulating multiple adenylyl cyclase, amplifying the signal, and synthesizing large numbers of cAMP molecules. Small changes in cAMP concentration affect PKA activity. The binding of four cAMP molecules induces a conformational change in PKA,...

Assembly of Signaling Complexes01:30

Assembly of Signaling Complexes

5.8K
Multiprotein signaling complexes are formed in a dynamic process involving protein-protein interactions at the cytoplasmic domain of transmembrane receptors or enzymatic and non-enzymatic proteins associated with the receptor. These complexes ensure the activation and propagation of intracellular signals that regulate cell functions.
Interaction domains in cell signaling
Interaction domains recognize exposed features of their binding partners containing post-translationally modified sequences,...

Area of Science:

  • Molecular Chaperones
  • Protein Phosphorylation
  • Cancer Biology

Background:

  • Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) is crucial for activating client protein kinases.
  • HSP90 function is regulated by phosphorylation of HSP90, CDC37, and client kinases.
  • Serine/Threonine phosphatase PP5 interacts with HSP90 and is key to releasing client kinases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the structural mechanisms of HSP90-CDC37-BRAF V600E complex formation.
  • To understand how PP5 is activated and dephosphorylates client kinases within the HSP90 complex.
  • To investigate the role of the BRAF V600E mutation in HSP90-CDC37 association.

Main Methods:

  • Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to determine structural complexes.
  • Proteomic analysis to assess phosphatase activity.
  • Biochemical assays to study protein-protein interactions.

Main Results:

  • The cryo-EM structure of the HSP90-CDC37-BRAF V600E complex was determined, revealing how the V600E mutation enhances BRAF binding.
  • Structures of HSP90-CDC37-BRAF V600E with PP5 in different conformations elucidated PP5 activation.
  • PP5 was shown to be activated upon recruitment to HSP90 complexes and comprehensively dephosphorylates client kinases.
  • Dephosphorylation by PP5 removes regulatory sites, facilitating kinase release from the chaperone machinery.

Conclusions:

  • PP5 acts as a crucial "factory reset" mechanism for client kinases by dephosphorylation.
  • The V600E mutation in BRAF promotes its stable association with the HSP90-CDC37 chaperone complex.
  • Understanding these mechanisms provides insights into oncogenic kinase regulation and potential therapeutic targets.
