Role of the extracellular loop in the folding of a CFTR transmembrane helical hairpin.

Abstract [show]
The folding of membrane-spanning domains into their native functional forms depends on interactions between transmembrane (TM) helices joined by covalent loops. However, the importance of these covalent linker regions in mediating the strength of helix-helix associations has not been systematically addressed. Here we examine the potential structural impact of cystic fibrosis-phenotypic mutations in the extracellular loop 2 (ECL2) on interactions between the TM3 and TM4 helices of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in constructs containing CFTR residues 194-241. When the effects of replacements in ECL2 (including the CF-phenotypic mutants E217G and Q220R) were evaluated in a library of wild-type and mutant TM3-ECL2-TM4 hairpin constructs, we found that SDS-PAGE gel migration rates differed over a range of nearly 40% +/- the wild-type position and that decreased migration rates correlate with increasing hairpin alpha-helical content as measured by circular dichroism spectra in sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles. The decreased mobility of TM3/4 constructs by introduction of non-native residues is interpreted in terms of an elongation or "opening" of the helical hairpin and concomitant destabilization of membrane-based helix-helix interactions. Our results support a role for short loop regions in dictating the stability of membrane protein folds and highlight the interplay between membrane-embedded helix-helix interactions and loop conformation in influencing the structure of membrane proteins.

Positional dependence of non-native polar mutations on folding of CFTR helical hairpins.

Abstract [show]
Mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) cause CF disease by altering the biosynthesis, maturation, folding and ion conductance of this protein. Our laboratory has focused on expression and structural analysis of the CFTR transmembrane (TM) domains using two-TM segments (i.e., helix-loop-helix constructs) which we term 'helical hairpins'; these represent the minimal model of tertiary contacts between two helices in a membrane. Previous studies on a library of TM3/4 hairpins of the first CFTR TM domain suggested that introduction of non-native polar residues into TM4 can compromise CFTR function through side chain-side chain H-bonding interactions with native Q207 in TM3 [Choi, M. Y., Cardarelli, L., Therien, A. G., and Deber, C. M. Non-native interhelical hydrogen bonds in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator domain modulated by polar mutations, Biochemistry 43 (2004) 8077-8083]. In the present work, we combine gel shift assays with a series of NMR experiments for comparative structural characterization of the wild type TM3/4 hairpin and its mutants V232D, I231D, Q207N/V232E. Over 95% of the backbone resonances of a 15N,13C-labelled V232D-TM3/4 construct in the membrane-mimetic environment of perfluorooctanoate (PFO) micelles were successfully assigned, and the presence and boundaries of helical segments within TM3 and TM4 were defined under these conditions. Comparative analysis of 15N and 1H chemical shift variations among HSQC spectra of WT-, V232D-, I231D- and Q207N/V232E-TM3/4 indicated that hairpin conformations vary with the position of a polar mutation (i.e., V232D and I231D vs. WT), but remain similar when hairpins with identically-positioned polar partners are compared (i.e., V232D vs. Q207N-V232E). The overall findings suggest that a polar mutation in a TM helix can potentially distort native interfacial packing determinants in membrane proteins such as CFTR, with consequences that may lead to disease.

160 While some mutants do contain a change in charge vs. WT, previous work from our laboratory has established that CFTR TM3/4 migration patterns are not simple functions of charge: (i) WT TM3/4 and the double mutant Q207L/V232D the same migration rates while V232D migrates significantly faster than WT [20]; (ii) Asp substitutions at 20 different positions along TM4 between residues 221 and 241 produce TM3/4 hairpins that migrate 3-12% faster than WT [22]; if introduction of a single negative charge was the dominating effect, all 20 mutants should display similar migration rates.

Non-native interhelical hydrogen bonds in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator domain modulated by polar mutations.
Biochemistry. 2004 Jun 29;43(25):8077-83., [PMID:15209503]

Abstract [show]
Polar residues comprise about 15% of the transmembrane (TM) domains of proteins, where they can stabilize structure via native side chain-side chain interhelical hydrogen bonds between TM helices. However, non-native H-bonds may be implicated in disease states, through limiting protein dynamics during transport and/or misfolding the protein by inducing non-native rotational positions about TM helical axes. Here we have undertaken an investigation of the presence and strength of H-bond interactions within a series of helix-loop-helix ("hairpin") constructs derived from TM helices 3 and 4 (italic) of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) (prototypic sequence G(194)LALAHFVWIAPLQ(207)VALLMGLIWELLQASAFAGLGFLIV(232)LALFQ(237)AGLG(241)) in which wild-type Q207 in TM3 forms an interhelical H-bond with CF-phenotypic mutant V232D in TM4 [Therien, A. G., Grant, F. E., and Deber, C. M. (2001) Nat. Struct. Biol 8, 597-601]. In the present work, a library of 21 TM3/4 constructs was prepared, where Asp residues were placed individually at TM4 positions 221-241. Using gel shift assays-in which H-bond-linked hairpins (closed conformation) migrate faster than the elongated forms (open conformation)-we found that Q207 in TM3 is able to "capture" all 21 TM4 D mutations into measurable populations of interhelical H-bonds. A similar library of TM4 D mutants-but also containing Q207L-reverted to wild-type migration rates, confirming Q207 as the polar partner for TM4 D residues. In view of the broad capture range of Q207, these results emphasize the potential consequences to folding and dynamics of introducing polar mutations into the TM domains of membrane proteins in the vicinity of a native polar TM residue.

112 To confirm the role of Q207 as the "unique" polar partner for Asp side chains along TM4, we prepared a library of 21 TM3/4 mutants designated XD/Q207L, which has the same net charge as XD (where X is any positional D mutant in TM4) but eliminates Q207 as a possible polar partner for D mutants in TM4.

The cystic fibrosis V232D mutation inhibits CFTR maturation by disrupting a hydrophobic pocket rather than formation of aberrant interhelical hydrogen bonds.

Abstract [show]
Processing mutations that inhibit folding and trafficking of CFTR are the main cause of cystic fibrosis. Repair of CFTR mutants requires an understanding of the mechanisms of misfolding caused by processing mutations. Previous studies on helix-loop-helix fragments of the V232D processing mutation suggested that its mechanism was to lock transmembrane (TM) segments 3 and 4 together by a non-native hydrogen bond (Asp232(TM4)/Gln207(TM3)). Here, we performed mutational analysis to test for Asp232/Gln207 interactions in full-length CFTR. The rationale was that a V232N mutation should mimic V232D and a V232D/Q207A mutant should mature if the processing defect was caused by hydrogen bonds. We report that only Val232 mutations to charged amino acids severely blocked CFTR maturation. The V232N mutation did not mimic V232D as V232N showed 40% maturation compared to 2% for V232D. Mutation of Val232 to large nonpolar residues (Leu, Phe) had little effect. The Q207L mutation did not rescue V232D because Q207L showed about 50% maturation in the presence of corrector VX-809 while V232D/Q207A could no longer be rescued. These results suggest that V232D inhibits maturation by disrupting a hydrophobic pocket between TM segments rather than forming a non-native hydrogen bond. Disulfide cross-linking analysis of cysteines W356C(TM6) and W1145C(TM12) suggest that the V232D mutation inhibits maturation by trapping CFTR as a partially folded intermediate. Since correctors can efficiently rescue V232D CFTR, the results suggest that hydrophilic processing mutations facing a hydrophobic pocket are good candidates for rescue with pharmacological chaperones.

100 The V232D, V232D/Q207A, V232D/Q207L, and V232D/Q207C mutants were then expressed in the presence or absence of corrector VX-809 to test for maturation. Login to comment
104 By contrast, none of the Gln207 mutations rescued V232D CFTR (Fig. 1B and C) as no mature CFTR was observed when mutants V232D/Q207A, V232D/Q207L, or V232D/Q207C were expressed in the presence or absence of VX-809 (Fig. 1B). Login to comment
107 Mutations to Gln207 inhibit CFTR maturation Since V232D but not mutants V232D/Q207A, V232D/Q207L, or V232D/Q207C could be rescued with VX-809 (Fig. 1B), we tested if maturation of CFTR was also sensitive to changes to Gln207 in a wild-type background. Login to comment

182 It was observed that in the absence of VX-809, the V510D mutation significantly improved the maturation of Q207L, Q207C, Q207E, Q207N and Q207S (Fig. 6A and B). Login to comment
183 Mature CFTR was the major product in Q207N/V510D (90% mature product) while mutants Q207L/V510D, Q207C/V510D, Q207E/V510D, and Q207S/V510D showed modest levels of mature CFTR (about 20-40% mature). Login to comment
184 In the presence of corrector VX-809 however, the amount of mature CFTR in mutants V510D/Q207A V510D/Q207L, V510D/Q207C, V510D/Q207E, V510D/Q207F and V510D/Q207S were significantly increased (25-85% mature product). Login to comment

284 Although mutants such as A207A, Q207L and Q207C could be rescued with corrector VX-809 (Fig. 2), the V232D mutation appeared to have an effect that was independent of that of Gln207 since mutants Q207A/V232D, Q207L/V232D and Q207C/V232D could no longer be rescued by VX-809 (Fig. 1B).
