Title: Self-Assembly of a Designed Nucleoprotein Architecture through Multimodal Interactions

Abstract

The co-self-assembly of proteins and nucleic acids (NAs) produces complex biomolecular machines (e.g., ribosomes and telomerases) that represent some of the most daunting targets for biomolecular design. Despite significant advances in protein and DNA or RNA nanotechnology, the construction of artificial nucleoprotein complexes has largely been limited to cases that rely on the NA-mediated spatial organization of protein units, rather than a cooperative interplay between protein- and NA-mediated interactions that typify natural nucleoprotein assemblies. We report here a structurally well-defined synthetic nucleoprotein assembly that forms through the synergy of three types of intermolecular interactions: Watson–Crick base pairing, NA–protein interactions, and protein–metal coordination. The fine thermodynamic balance between these interactions enables the formation of a crystalline architecture under highly specific conditions.

NMR studies of echinomycin bisintercalation complexes with d(A1-C2-G3-T4) and d(T1-C2-G3-A4) duplexes in aqueous solution: sequence-dependent formation of Hoogsteen A1 x T4 and Watson-Crick T1 x A4 base pairs flanking the bisintercalation site

Journal Article Gao, X. ; Patel, D.J. - Biochemistry; (United States)

The authors report on two-dimensional proton NMR studies of echinomycin complexes with the self-complementary d(A1-C2-G3-Tr) and d(T1-C2-G3-A4) duplexes in aqueous solution. The exchangeable and nonexchangeable antibiotic and nucleic acid protons in the 1 echinomycin per tetranucleotide duplex complexes have been assigned from analyses of scalar coupling and distance connectivities in two-dimensional data sets records in H/sub 2/O and D/sub 2/O solution. An analysis of the intermolecular NOE patterns for both complexes combined with large upfield imino proton and large downfield phosphorus complexation chemical shift changes demonstrates that the two quinoxaline chromophores of echinomycin bisintercalate into the minor groove surrounding themore »« less

Interfacial Properties and Design of Functional Energy Materials

Journal Article Sumpter, Bobby G ; Liang, Liangbo ; Nicolai, Adrien ; ... - Accounts of Chemical Research

The vital importance of energy to society continues to demand a relentless pursuit of energy responsive materials that can bridge fundamental chemical structures at the molecular level and achieve improved functionality, such as efficient energy conversion/storage/transmission, over multiple length scales. This demand can potentially be realized by harnessing the power of self-assembly a spontaneous process where molecules or much larger entities form ordered aggregates as a consequence of predominately non-covalent (weak) interactions. Self-assembly is the key to bottom-up design of molecular devices, because the nearly atomic-level control is very difficult to realize in a top-down, e.g., lithographic approach. However, whilemore »« less

Engineering the entropy-driven free-energy landscape of a dynamic nanoporous protein assembly

Journal Article Alberstein, Robert ; Suzuki, Yuta ; Paesani, Francesco ; ... - Nature Chemistry

De novo design and construction of stimuli-responsive protein assemblies that predictably switch between discrete conformational states remains an essential but highly challenging goal in biomolecular design. We previously reported synthetic, two dimensional protein lattices self-assembled via disulfide bonding interactions, which endows them with a unique capacity to undergo coherent conformational changes without losing crystalline order. Here, we carried out all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to map the free-energy landscape of these lattices, validated this landscape through extensive structural characterization by electron microscopy and established that it is predominantly governed by solvent reorganization entropy. Subsequent redesign of the protein surface with conditionallymore »« less

Lessons from bacteriophages part 1: Deriving utility from protein structure, function, and evolution

Journal Article Asija, Kunica ; Teschke, Carolyn M. ; Dutch, Rebecca Ellis - PLoS Pathogens

Historically, some of the most fundamental discoveries of modern molecular biology were revealed by examination of phage-infected cells. Some examples include the use of bacteriophage T2 to show that DNA, not protein, was the genetic material by Hershey and Chase in 1952. Crick and colleagues showed that codons are degenerate and encode for single amino acids by making use of T4 bacteriophage. Brenner and colleagues discovered that mRNA acts as the messenger in relaying the information from DNA to ribosomes with the aid of bacteriophage T2. Szybalski and colleagues demonstrated the semiconservative mechanism of DNA replication using λ phage. Restrictionmore »« less
