Visualizing functional dynamicity in the DNA-dependent protein kinase holoenzyme DNA-PK complex by integrating SAXS with cryo-EM
Abstract
Assembly of KU and DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs) at DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) forms DNA-PK holoenzyme as a critical initiating step for non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair of DSBs produced by radiation and chemotherapies. Advanced cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) imaging together with breakthrough macromolecular X-ray crystal (MX) structures of KU and DNA-PKcs recently enabled visualization of the ~600 kDa DNA-PK assembly at near atomic resolution. These important static structures provide the foundation for definition and interpretation of functional movements crucial to mechanistic understanding that can be tested through solution state structure analysis. We herein therefore leverage Cryo-EM and MX structures for the interpretation of synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data on DNA-PK conformations in solution to inform the structural mechanism for NHEJ initiation. SAXS, which measures thermodynamic solution-state conformational states and assemblies outside of cryo- and solid-state conditions, unveils the inherent flexibility of KU, DNA-PKcs and DNA-PK. The combined structural measurements reveal mobility of KU80 C-terminal region (KU80CTR), motion/plasticity of HEAT (DNA-PKcs Huntingtin, Elongation Factor 3, PP2 A, and TOR1) regions, allosteric switching upon DNA-PKcs autophosphorylation, and dimeric arrangements of DNA-PK assembly. Importantly, the results uncover displacement of the N-terminal HEAT domain during autophosphorylation as suitable for a regulatedmore »
