1 Bioinformaticians + Experimentalists = Successful Protein Analysis Katarzyna Poleszak International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Protein Engineering

2 Research subjects Enzymes acting on: DNA RNA Discovering novel enzymes Protein engineering Characterization of protein complexes

3 Structure of the laboratory Computer analysis Structure/function prediction Experimental validation

4 What information do we get from protein structure? Protein function Biological processes Mechanism of reaction and interaction

5 Discovering new RNA methyltransferases Elżbieta Purta

6 Protein synthesis in bacteria Growing polypeptide Amino end Amino acid tRNA mRNA 50S rRNA: 5S rRNA 23S rRNA 30S rRNA: 16S rRNA

7 Modified nucleosides in rRNA 11 modified nucleosides in 16S; 26 in 23S Main function: reinforce the tertiary structure essential for catalysis Other functions: resistance to antibiotics that bind to rRNA Modifying enzyme unknown Modifying enzyme identified in this lab

8 YbeA: novel MTase specific for 23S rRNA +CH 3 (14Da) Mass spectrometry analysis

9 Interaction of YbeA with the ribosome Katarzyna Kamińska

10 Protein engineering of restriction endonucleases Sebastian Pawlak

11 Restriction endonucleases (REases) occur frequently in bacteria and archaea cleave double-stranded DNA in a sequence-specific manner AACTGGCCTGCCA TTCACCGGACGGT dsDNAREase CCTGCCA GGACGGT AACTGG TTCACC cleaved DNA cleavage

12 Why engineer REases? recombinant DNA technology diagnostic tool DNA physical mapping various cleaved sequences ~ 3700 REases 266 distinct specificities REBASE 2008 Important tools in biology:

18 Characterization of protein complexes involved in DNA repair Katarzyna Poleszak

19 Why study protein complexes involved in DNA repair? Protein-protein interactions Protein interaction sites Critical to most biological processes Potential drug targets Crucial to maintain genome stability DNA repairProcesses correcting DNA damages

20 Analysing hMLH1-MBD4 interactions hMLH1 MBD4 MUTATION Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) ? human MutL homolog Methyl binding domain

21 Functions of MBD4 MBD4 Methyl binding domain Binds methylated DNA T/U glycosylase Tumor supresor

22 Functions of hMLH1 Corects base-base mismatches Removes insertions and deletions hMLH1 human MutL homolog Depending on the interaction partner Recombination
