Three-dimensional Reconstruction of the PA200-20S Proteasome Complex by Cryo-EM Joaquin Ortega. Ph.D. Biochemistry & Biomedical Sciences Mcmaster University. Hamilton, ON. Canada
Protein Quality Control System From: Wickner et al. Science (1999). v. 286, 1888-1893
Current Projects in the lab *20S Proteasome Major cellular protease *HtrA (Deg P) Periplasmic chaperone / protease
Major Functions of the Proteasome *Regulation of protein functions Terminate lifespan of regulatory proteins *Protein quality control Degrade damaged/misfolded proteins *Immunocompetent peptide generation Degradation of foreign antigens

Proteasome Regulatory Complexes The 19S activator: An ATP-dependent activator The 11S/PA28 activators: An ATP-independent activator From Baumeister et al. (1998) Cell 92, 367-380
PA200: Novel Proteasome Activator Family *200 kDa, 1843 aa. *Subject to phosphorylation. *Functionally more like PA28 than 19S. -ATP-independent -Activate peptide hydrolysis only *DNA Repair Involvement? -Localizes in nucleus -After g-irradiation, PA200 forms intranuclear foci
Questions *What is the structure of the PA200 activator? *Where does PA200 bind to the 20S proteasome? *Does PA200 binding induce structural changes in the 20S proteasome that correlate with its activation?
Data collection and image processing for the cryo-images *CM200 FEG 120 kV Magnification x 38000 21,091 particles *Software: -Bsoft -EMAN *Starting models: -Atomic structure of 20S -Featureless barrel
3D Reconstruction of the Singly Bound PA200-20S Proteasome Complex.
Visualization of the Axial Channel Gate Upon Binding of PA200
Questions Revisited: *What is the structure of the PA200 activator? PA200 is a highly asymmetric molecule organized in HEAT-like repeats, probably as a-solenoid. *Where does PA200 bind to the 20S proteasome? A monomer of PA200 binds to one or both ends of 20S. *Does PA200 binding induce structural changes in the 20S proteasome that correlate with its activation? PA200 opens the axial channel in the proximal a-ring of the 20S particle.
