1 Tetrahymena telomerase Nhp2p Chin Ju Park January 22, 2008 Progress Reports 6

2 Tetrahymena telomerase ribonucleoprotein complex functions as a reverse transcriptase enzyme adds telomeric repeats to chromosome 3’ ends TEN (1-195)RBD (195-516)

3 tTERT(195-516) with TBE RBD domain (195-516) 20mM MES, 250mM NaCl, 0.4mM DTT pH 6.0, 277K, 800MHz Precipitation occurred when RBD and RNA were mixed together at pH 5~7. (even in dilute concentration ~10 uM. Mixing order and different kind of salt doesn’t make any improvement)

4 tTERT(195-516):tTER(1-59)=1:2 (protein conc. ~0.1mM) 20mM Tris, 100mM NaCl, 1mM MgCl 2, 1mM DTT, pH 8.0, 280K Mulder, TROSY (# Protein only : no signals at pH 8.0)

6 Structure of the RNA-Binding Domain of Telomerase: Implications for RNA Recognition and Binding Structure 15 1403-1412 (2007) More flexible T-motif CP-motif 12 alpha helices, 2 beta sheets Two asymmetric halves ~120° QFP-motif

7 T-motif: narrow, well-defined Pocket CP-motif: shallow, wide, Highly positively charged Cavity Close each other, forming a Single large, positively Charged surface area

8 Mutated residues that affect RNA binding and telomerase activity are boxed. T- and CP- motif 1)F476A, Y477A, T479A, E480A, R492A, W496A in T-motif : severe loss of RNA binding affinity and telomerase activity 2) L327A, K329A, C331A, P334A in CP-motif: moderate loss of RNA binding affinity And telomerase activity * L327, C331 - F476, R492

9 TRE N terminal of RBD is necessary for RNA binding T-pocket is too narrow (W496 and Y477), cannot accommodate a nucleotide base without conformational change. ssRNA binding? TBE? CP-motif is more wider: interact With dsRNA (stem I or II?) CP-2 : 226-237

10 Work in Progress 254-519 was cloned into pET46 (N-terminal his tag) vector. 15 N HSQC RNA binding test

11 Facts of Nhp2p and hTR hTR has H/ACA domain in its 3’ half. Mol. Cell 1999 19 567-576 The loop of the terminal stem (cR7) is required for hTR accumulation. Mol. Cell 2003 11 1361-1372 Stable hTR expression in yeast requires Cbf5p, Nhp2p, and Nop10p. Yeast telomerase RNA doesn’t have H/ACA domain and doesn’t bind to those proteins. Nucleic Acids Res. 2001 29 598-603 Nhp2p binds irregular stem-loop structures of RNA : tested with yeast snoRNA (snR36). Nucleic Acids Res.2001 29 2733-2746 Archaeal L7Ae and eukaryal Snu13p(yeast), 15.5K (human) recognize K-turn RNA Motif. J. Mol.

25 Chemical shift index The Chemical shift index (CSI) is a commonly accepted procedure to establish the secondary structure of proteins based on chemical shift differences with respect to some predefined 'random coil' values. It can be applied from the measured HA, CA, CB and CO chemical shifts for each residue in a protein.
