Abstract:
Human metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) is a long non-coding RNA with a 3ʹ-terminal triple helix, which stabilizes and protects the RNA from degradation. This stabilization contributes to MALAT1 overaccumulation, promoting cancer and disease. The unique structure and function of the MALAT1 triple helix makes it an ideal target for small-molecule intervention. Yet, structural details regarding the interactions between the MALAT1 triple helix and a small molecule drug remain unclear. Herein, I aim to solve a 3D structure of the MALAT1 triple helix in complex with a diminazene (DMZ) small molecule: DMZp8. Single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) is a technique most suitable for solving large macromolecular structures, yet can be applied to solve structures of small RNAs (<50 kDa). Visualization of small RNAs is limited by the signal-to-noise ratio, hindering global resolution. To overcome these limitations, RNA scaffolding techniques graft an RNA-of-interest onto a larger, well-structured RNA scaffold. Herein, we grafted the MALAT1 triple helix onto two established RNA scaffolds: TTR-3 (PDB ID: 6WLK) and a circularly permuted version of the Tetrahymena ribozyme (TetP6B) (PDB ID: 8TJX). Thus far, we have solved a 3D structure of the apo MALAT1 triple helix-TTR-3 at 5.2 Å resolution. Additionally, optimal single-particle density and distribution was observed for the MALAT1 triple helix-TTR-3:DMZp8 complex at a 1:4 ratio. Promising single-particle conditions for the MALAT1 triple helix-TetP6B scaffold were achieved using a 1:25 ratio of the MALAT1 triple helix-TetP6B:DMZp8. A high-resolution structure of a small molecule bound to the MALAT1 triple helix will advance the rational design of small molecules selective for disease-promoting RNAs.

Abstract:
The anaphylatoxin C5a is derived from the complement component C5 during activation of the complement cascade. It is an important component in the pathogenesis of a number of inflammatory diseases. NMR structures of human and porcine C5a have been reported; these revealed a four-helix bundle stabilized by three disulfide bonds. The crystal structure of human desArg-C5a has now been determined in two crystal forms. Surprisingly, the protein crystallizes as a dimer and each monomer in the dimer has a three-helix core instead of the four-helix bundle noted in the NMR structure determinations. Furthermore, the N-terminal helices of the two monomers occupy different positions relative to the three-helix core and are completely different from the NMR structures. The physiological significance of these structural differences is unknown.

Abstract:
Different secondary structures of the pep-1 protein were blamed for transmembrane internalization process of drugs and drug deliveries. But which structure will be important for transmembrane delivery was still not clear. In this study, interactions between pep-1 and cell membranes were studied. Pep-1 in the buffer (Pep-1) and pep-1 on graphene (PDS/G) or they on graphene oxide (PDS/GO) were composed as the transmembrane delivery system to study the different secondary structure of pep-1 that influence for their transmembrane delivery. The curves of chirascan circular dichroism (CD) and all-atom discontinuous molecular dynamics (DMD) simulations illuminate that, in a buffer environment, most pep-1 formed 3–10 helix structures. Meanwhile, when Pep-1 composed graphene slice and formed PDS/G, 3–10 helix and alpha-helix structures can be found in small quantities. When they on graphene oxide and formed PDS/GO, coil or type II beta-turn structure can be found from most of the pep-1 and 3–10 helix structure disappeared. By using sum-frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy, we found that pep-1 with 3–10 helix structures in buffer solutions damaged the lipid bilayer violently. PDS/G with less 3–10 helix structures will change the orientation of lipid bilayer effectively but slightly. Pep-1 with coil or type II Beta-turn in PDS/GO cannot influence the structure of lipid bilayers. Hemolysis experiments also proved that when pep-1 composed as PDS/G, they will change the orientation of the plasma membrane of red blood cells effectively but slightly. When they attach on the GO and formed PDS/GO, the plasma membrane of red blood cells cannot be influenced. In conclusion, 3–10 helix structures will be positively correlated with disturbance of membranes. These results will be effectively guided the clinic application of pep-1 as a transporter of the drug delivery system.

Abstract:
This thesis will investigate the sequence to structure relationship of protein folding through the use of template assembled synthetic proteins (TASPs). A cavitand template will be used to bring together four de novo designed peptides to form a four-helix bundled TASP, referred to as a cavitein. The first chapter will detail the rationale behind de novo protein design and use of TASPs to study protein folding. Chapter 1 will also review past and current work relating to the design and structural characterization of synthetic de novo proteins. Chapter 2 will investigate the context dependency of leucine residues within the hydrophobic core of a cavitein. Single leu to ala substitutions resulted in similar destabilization of the cavitein. However, replacing the middle leucine compromised the structure and stability of the cavitein. It was concluded that the middle leucine acted as a linchpin within the peptide sequence. Chapter 3 will examine the first reported crystallization of a TASP. The crystal structure is revealed as a dimer. The cavitein (Q4) was thought to be monomeric. The chapter will compare the solution structures of both the parent and Q4 cavitein. It was found that both parent and Q4 have a weak dimer association at relatively high concentrations. Chapter 4 will discuss glutamine variants used to probe the tolerance of dimer crystallization with respect to sequence variation. The chapter uncovers a key lattice contact for cavitein dimer lattice nucleation and stabilization. Furthermore, in an attempt to control the oligomeric state of caviteins, Chapter 4 will also discuss histidine metal binding caviteins and disulfide caviteins. A cavitein designed to favor a dimer via histidine metal binding was synthesized and crystallized revealing a potential metal binding center. Caviteins designed to favor a monomer conformation were also designed involving either histidine metal binding or disulfide bridges. Both methods proved successful in their monomeric design as shown by solution characterization. Chapter 5 will conclude and summarize the work throughout this thesis. The chapter will also suggest future projects expanding on studies within this thesis as well as suggest other projects pertaining to cavitein research.

Full text
Abstract:
The pentameric ligand gated ion channel super family plays a central role in fast synaptic communication between neurons and at the neuromuscular junction. Extensive studies on the prototypic pLGIC, the Torpedo nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) have revealed an exquisite lipid sensitivity, with the nAChR adopting a novel uncoupled conformation in membranes lacking activating anionic and neutral lipids. The lipid-exposed transmembrane alpha-helix, M4, in each homologous subunit likely acts as a lipid sensor. One model proposes that activating lipids promote M4 “binding” to the adjacent alpha-helices, M1 and M3, to enhance interactions between the M4 C-terminus and the Cys-loop of the agonist-binding domain, with such interactions promoting coupling between the agonist site and channel gate. The first part of my thesis indirectly tests this hypothesis by exploring the effects of membrane hydrophobic thickness on nAChR function. Specifically, I tested the hypothesis that thicker membranes, which should promote alignment of M4 parallel to M1/M3 and thus helix-helix interactions, favor a coupled conformation. Although I found that the nAChR is uncoupled in all membranes tested, regardless of hydrophobic thickness, thicker membranes promote transitions from uncoupled to ultimately the desensitized state over the minutes to hours time frame. In contrast to anionic lipids, which influence function primarily via a conformational selection mechanism, membrane hydrophobic thickness influences function via a kinetic mechanism - thick membranes lower the activation energy between uncoupled and coupled conformations to promote conformational transitions. In the second part of my thesis, I used the two prokaryotic homologs, GLIC and ELIC, to explore how amino acid interactions at the interface between M4 and M1/M3 influence channel activity. Alanine scanning mutagenesis of this interface shows that disruption of almost any interaction in GLIC leads to a loss of folding and/or function, while analogous mutations in ELIC typically lead to no change or produce gains in function. Sequence comparisons with other members of the pLGIC superfamily suggest that the transmembrane domains of GLIC and ELIC represent two distinct archetypes. Each archetype may strike a different balance between the need for strong M4 binding to M1/M3 to promote folding and pentamer assembly, and the need for weaker interactions that allow for greater conformational flexibility during function.

Full text
Abstract:
Kinks are functionally important structural features found in the alpha-helices of many proteins, particularly membrane proteins. Structurally, they are points at which a helix abruptly changes direction. Previous kink definition and identification methods often disagree with one another. Here I describe three novel methods to characterise kinks, which improve on existing approaches. First, Kink Finder, a computational method that consistently locates kinks and estimates the error in the kink angle. Second the B statistic, a statistically robust method for identifying kinks. Third, Alpha Helices Assessed by Humans, a crowdsourcing approach that provided a gold-standard data set on which to train and compare existing kink identification methods. In this thesis, I show that kinks are a feature of long -helices in both soluble and membrane proteins, rather than just transmembrane -helices. Characteristics of kinks in the two types of proteins are similar, with Proline being the dominant feature in both types of protein. In soluble proteins, kinked helices also have a clear structural preference in that they typically point into the solvent. I also explored the conservation of kinks in homologous proteins. I found examples of conserved and non-conserved kinks in both the helix pairs and the helix families. Helix pairs with non-conserved kinks generally have less similar sequences than helix pairs with conserved kinks. I identified helix families that show highly conserved kinks, and families that contain non-conserved kinks, suggesting that some kinks may be flexible points in protein structures.

Abstract:
This thesis describes research undertaken in peptidomimetic chemistry, concerned with stabilisation of peptide secondary structure. The first section describes the successful synthesis of two triazepinediones for potential application as cis prolyl mimetics and/or β-turn mimetics. The first triazepinedione 64, carrying an N-phenyl substituent, was subjected to reductive conditions in an unsuccessful attempt to generate a cis prolyl peptide. The second triazepinedione 72 was designed as a Gly-cw Pro-Phe peptidomimetic. Its synthesis proceeded in 8 steps, via a chiral a-hydrazino acid. Triazepinedione 72 was extended from both the N and C termini, demonstrating that it could be incorporated into a peptide. The second section describes the design and attempted synthesis of an N-terminal template for stabilisation of a-helical structure in an attached peptide. Preliminary efforts to produce a Pro-Pro-Ala macrocycle 91 and a Pro-Pro-Pro ether macrocycle 98 were unsuccessful. Attempts to synthesise a Pro-Pro-Pro thioether macrocycle 112 resulted in formation of a cyclic dimer 122. The formation of this dimer was proposed to be due to excessive steric hindrance in the transition state to cyclisation. Attempts to stabilise the desired folded transition state by α-methylation of proline residues or hydrogen bonding did not allow synthesis of any of the desired monomeric cyclic material. A monomeric cyclic compound was finally obtained by increasing the flexibility of the linear precursor, affording a Pro-(2R)-Ala-Pro thioether macrocycle 151. X-Ray crystallography and 2D NMR studies established that this macrocycle lacked the required arrangement of carbonyl groups conducive to initiation of an α-helix. Further NMR studies of macrocycle-peptide conjugates suggested that the macrocycle exerted a conformational influence only over the first residue of the attached peptide. The carbonyl groups of the macrocycle were found to adopt a significant degree of α-helical geometry upon attachment of a C-terminal cationic trialkylammonium group.

Abstract:
Influenza A is an enveloped, negative sense RNA virus which causes annual epidemics and major pandemics. Assembly and budding of new viral particles is a complex and multistep process, of which many aspects remain unclear despite many years of research. The Influenza virus M2 protein is a homotetrameric transmembrane protein, containing three domains: ecto domain, transmembrane domain and cytoplasmic tail (CT). In the final stage of budding it has been shown that M2 mediates membrane scission through an amphipathic helix (AH), which is formed by the first 17 amino acids of the protein's CT, however the exact mechanism by which membrane scission is triggered was not known. Using a collection of biochemical and biophysical techniques we have investigated the structure of the M2 AH and assessed its function in viral assembly and budding. We have shown that the M2 AH is formed upon lipid binding and remains unstructured in solution. It preferentially binds to membranes with high positive membrane curvature, which is detected by sensing the associated lipid packing defects. There are many cationic residues in the polar face of the M2 AH which could interact with anionic lipid headgroups, however charged interactions do not significantly affect the M2 AH interactions with the membranes. When inserted into the membrane the M2 AH increases lipid ordering. The M2 AH also induces positive membrane curvature and mediates membrane scission, which is the last step of Influenza virus budding, allowing for release of newly formed virions in to the environment. Membrane scission is a crucial step not only in viral budding but also in many biological processes, such as endocytosis. Many proteins have been associated with cellular membrane scission; however, the underlying molecular details are still not known. We have shown that AHs in some cellular peptides, such as Arf 1, Endophillin A3 and Epsin 1, which mediate membrane scission in biological processes, appear to work in a similar manner to the M2 AH. They represent a new protein motif that is capable of sensing curvature, inducing curvature and altering membrane fluidity, thereby mediating membrane scission and therefore belong to a novel group of AHs.

Regional innovation activity is often studied through the prism of regional innovation systems. Strategic collaboration in the triple helix is seen as one of the most viable ways to stimulate regional innovation. This article presents the role of strategic structures in regional triple helix collaboration. with the aim of highlighting how triple helix actors can structure and implement fruitful collaboration to support innovation-led regional development.

Abstract:
Proteins are important macromolecules responsible for a variety of processes in living organisms. One of the most important features of proteins is their ability to respond to environmental stimuli, such as changes in intracellular metal concentration by binding metal ions, which in turns triggers structural changes within the protein that can modify its function or allow the protein to participate in a signaling pathway. One such signaling protein is the so-called neuronal calcium sensor 1 protein or NCS1, which binds Ca2+ along with other abiogenic metals such as Li+, and the metal binding regulates NCS1 interactions with other intracellular partners. NCS1 binds Ca2+ ions through the EF-hands, consisting of a helix-loop-helix motif. The exact nature of the structural changes triggered by Ca2+ binding to the EF-hands in NCS1 is currently unknown. In an attempt to elucidate the nature of these structural changes, we performed a variety of molecular dynamics simulations on NCS1 in the calcium bound, lithium bound, and metal unbound states. We then calculated the angles between helices in EF-hands to determine if these angles change upon metal ion binding. Using the outputs of the molecular dynamics simulations, we developed a python script in house using MDAnalysis and Numpy libraries to select and calculate the angle between each alpha helix pair as a function of simulation time. Based on our calculations, the EF-hand interhelical angles change significantly upon metal binding and are even sensitive to the specific identity of the metal ion. This method of interhelical angle calculation can serve as an important tool for determining the nature of structural changes caused by the binding of ligand molecules to sensor proteins.

Abstract:
The report contains three parts which summarizes the three years achievements of the three participating research groups; The Weizmann group, Tel-Aviv group and Purdue group. The firs part describes the achievements obtained by Shai's group toward the elucidation of the mechanism of membrane insertion and the structural organization of the pores formed by the Cry3A and Cry1Ac B. thuringiensis d-endotoxins. For that purpose Shai's group synthesized, fluorescently labeled and structurally and functionally characterized peptides corresponding to the seven helices that compose the pore-forming domain of Cry3A toxin, including mutants peptides and the hairpin a4G-a5 of both Cry3A and Cry 1Ac toxins composed of a4, a5 and the loop connecting a4-a5. Among the synthesized peptides were three mutated a4 helices based on site directed mutagenesis done at Aronson's group that decreased or increased Cry 1Ac toxicity. The results of these studies are consistent with a situation in which only helices a4 anda5 insert into the membrane as a helical hairpin in an antiparallel manner, while the other helices lie on the membrane surface like ribs of an umbrella (the "umbrella model"). In order to test this model Shai's group synthesized the helical hairpin a4<-->a5 of both Cry3A and Cry 1 Ac toxins, as well. Initial functional and structural studies showed direct correlation between the properties of the mutated helices and the mutated Cry1Ac. Based on Shai's findings that a4 is the second helix besides a5 that insert into the membrane, Aronson and colleagues performed extensive mutation on this helix in the CrylAc toxin, as well as in the loop connecting helices 4 and 5, and helix 3 (part two of the report). In addition, Aronson performed studies on the effect of mutations or type of insect which influence the oligomerization either the Cry 1Ab or Cry 1Ac toxins with vesicles prepared from BBMV. In the third part of the report Zilberstein's and Sneh's groups describe their studies on the three domains of Cry 1C, Cry 1E and crylAc and their interaction with the epithelial membrane of the larval midgut. In these studies they cloned all three domains and combinations of two domains, as well as cloning of the pore forming domain alone and studying its interaction with BBMV. In addition they investigated binding of Cry1E toxin and Cry1E domains to BBMV prepared from resistant (R) or sensitive larvae. Finally they initiated expression of the loop a4G<-->a5 Cry3A in E. coli to be compared with the synthetic one done by Shai's group as a basis to develop a system to express all possible pairs for structural and functional studies by Shai's group (together with Y. Shai).
