NMR STRUCTURE OF THE FHA1 DOMAIN OF RAD53 IN COMPLEX WITH A RAD9-DERIVED PHOSPHOTHREONINE (AT T155) PEPTIDE

OverviewOverview

Rad53, a yeast checkpoint protein involved in regulating the repair of DNA damage, contains two forkhead-associated domains, FHA1 and FHA2. Previous combinatorial library screening has shown that FHA1 strongly selects peptides containing a pTXXD motif. Subsequent location of this motif within the sequence of Rad9, the target protein, coupled with spectroscopic analysis has led to identification of a tight binding sequence that is likely the binding site of FHA1: (188)SLEV(pT)EADATFVQ(200). We present solution structures of FHA1 in complex with this pT-peptide and with another Rad9-derived pT-peptide that has ca 30-fold lower affinity, (148)KKMTFQ(pT)PTDPLE(160). Both complexes showed intermolecular NOEs predominantly between three peptide residues (pT, +1, and +2 residues) and five FHA1 residues (S82, R83, S85, T106, and N107). Furthermore, the following interactions were implicated on the basis of chemical shift perturbations and structural analysis: the phosphate group of the pT residue with the side-chain amide group of N86 and the guanidino group of R70, and the carboxylate group of Asp (at the +3 position) with the guanidino group of R83. The generated structures revealed a similar binding mode adopted by these two peptides, suggesting that pT and the +3 residue Asp are the major contributors to binding affinity and specificity, while +1 and +2 residues could provide additional fine-tuning. It was also shown that FHA1 does not bind to the corresponding pS-peptides or a related pY-peptide. We suggest that differentiation between pT and pS-peptides by FHA1 can be attributed to hydrophobic interactions between the methyl group of the pT residue and the aliphatic protons of R83, S85, and T106 from FHA1.

-Rad53, a yeast checkpoint protein involved in regulating the repair of DNA, damage, contains two forkhead-associated domains, FHA1 and FHA2. Previous, combinatorial library screening has shown that FHA1 strongly selects, peptides containing a pTXXD motif. Subsequent location of this motif, within the sequence of Rad9, the target protein, coupled with, spectroscopic analysis has led to identification of a tight binding, sequence that is likely the binding site of FHA1:, (188)SLEV(pT)EADATFVQ(200). We present solution structures of FHA1 in, complex with this pT-peptide and with another Rad9-derived pT-peptide that, has ca 30-fold lower affinity, (148)KKMTFQ(pT)PTDPLE(160). Both complexes, showed intermolecular NOEs predominantly between three peptide residues, (pT, +1, and +2 residues) and five FHA1 residues (S82, R83, S85, T106, and, N107). Furthermore, the following interactions were implicated on the, basis of chemical shift perturbations and structural analysis: the, phosphate group of the pT residue with the side-chain amide group of N86, and the guanidino group of R70, and the carboxylate group of Asp (at the, +3 position) with the guanidino group of R83.
