Abstract

Pin1 is a peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase, whose WW domain specifically recognizes the pSer/Thr-Pro motif. Pin1 is involved in multiple phosphorylation events that regulate the activities of various substrates, and Pin1 deregulation has been reported in various diseases, including cancer and Alzheimer's disease. The WW domain of Pin1 has been used as a small model protein to investigate the folding mechanisms of the β-sheet structure by studying the effect of mutations or its naturally occurring variants. However, only a few studies have investigated the structure and binding of Pin1 WW mutants. In the present work, two naturally occurring Pin1 WW variants, namely, G20D and S16R, derived from the cynomolgus monkey and African green monkey, respectively, were selected to investigate the influence of charge mutation on the structure, stability, and binding properties of the Pin1 WW domain. Analysis using a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and chemical shift-based calculations revealed that the G20D and S16R mutants had high structural similarity to the wild-type Pin1 WW domain. However, the presence of a charge mutation significantly decreased the stability of the Pin1 WW domain. Both the wild-type and G20D forms of the Pin1 WW domain utilized a three-site mode to bind to a phosphorylated Tau peptide, pT231, whereas the S16R mutant binds to the pT231 peptide either in a non-specific manner or through a totally different binding mechanism. Correspondingly, the wild-type and two mutant Pin1 WW domains showed different binding affinities to the Tau phosphopeptide. Considering that the WW domain participates in the catalytic activity of the Pin1 isomerase, our study represents a novel approach for studying Pin1 function through the analysis of its naturally occurring mutants.

摘要

Pin1是一种肽基脯氨酰顺反异构酶,其WW结构域特异性识别pSer/Thr-Pro基序。Pin1参与多种调节各种底物活性的磷酸化事件,并且在包括癌症和阿尔茨海默病在内的各种疾病中都有Pin1失调的报道。Pin1的WW结构域已被用作一种小型模型蛋白,通过研究突变或其天然存在的变体的影响来探究β-折叠结构的折叠机制。然而,只有少数研究调查了Pin1 WW突变体的结构和结合情况。在本研究中,分别从食蟹猴和非洲绿猴中获得的两种天然存在的Pin1 WW变体,即G₂₀D和S₁₆R,被选来研究电荷突变对Pin1 WW结构域的结构、稳定性和结合特性的影响。结合核磁共振(NMR)和基于化学位移的计算分析表明,G₂₀D和S₁₆R突变体与野生型Pin1 WW结构域具有高度的结构相似性。然而,电荷突变的存在显著降低了Pin1 WW结构域的稳定性。Pin1 WW结构域的野生型和G₂₀D形式都利用三点模式与磷酸化的Tau肽pT231结合,而S₁₆R突变体则以非特异性方式或通过完全不同的结合机制与pT231肽结合。相应地,野生型和两种突变型Pin1 WW结构域对Tau磷酸肽表现出不同的结合亲和力。鉴于WW结构域参与Pin1异构酶的催化活性,我们的研究代表了一种通过分析其天然存在的突变体来研究Pin1功能的新方法。
