1 Regulating Transmembrane Signaling Through Plexin- Neuropilin Oligomerization Bryan W. Berger Department of Chemical Engineering Program in Bioengineering

2 Components of Cell Membranes Approximately 30-40% by volume of membrane is occupied by membrane proteins IMPs account for nearly 30% of the human genome, yet less than 1% of available protein structures in the Protein Data Bank (PDB)

3 Integral Membrane Proteins: The Next Frontier of Structural Biology Integral membrane proteins (IMPs) are central to a wide range of membrane-mediated processes such as signal transduction, fusion and transport MC Wiener (2004) Methods (Review) 34, 364

4 A Bottom-Up Chemical Engineering Process Ethanol separation from a binary mixture: H-O-H UNIQUAC: C chemical (VdW SA, V) R residual (empirical, experimental) Use molecular properties to estimate thermodynamic parameters Apply relevant models to predict phase behavior of system (binary or otherwise) Design equipment to separate components

5 A Bottom-Up Biological Process Platelet activation:

6 Proposed Cx43-Sema3d Pathway Fin length Segment length Cell proliferation Cx43 levels Sof Decreased Decreased Decreased Decreased Alf Increased Increased Increased Increased

7 Membrane Co-Receptor Oligomerization and Signaling: Neuropilins, Plexins and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors Neurogenesis (Axon Guidance) Angiogenesis (Cell Proliferation)

8 Signal Transduction as an On-Off Switch OFF: - gate, - light ON: + gate, + light

9 Ligand Binding and Dimerization: 2 On-Off Switches During Signal Trasduction Sema 3D Plexin A3 OFF: - ligand - dimer - signal OFF: - ligand + dimer - signal ON: + ligand + dimer + signal

10 Ligand Binding and Dimerization: 2 On-Off Switches During Signal Trasduction Plexin A3 dimerizatio n Sema 3D binding + = Reduced Joint formation OFF: - ligand - dimer - signal OFF: - ligand + dimer - signal ON: + ligand + dimer + signal

11 What is a Dimer? A complex formed by 2 individual protein molecules, which are typically bound through non-covalent association Homodimer: A + A = A 2 Heterodimer: A + B = AB

12 How Do Proteins Dimerize? A protein dimer depends on its quarternary structure, and is stabilized through molecular interactions between each protein monomer A protein domain is a region within a protein that has a defined secondary or tertiary structure

13 Identifying individual domains within plexins and neuropilins Nrp2a PlexinA3 Sema3d MAM = conserved juxtamembrane domain CYTO CYTO MBP-Nrp2a-MAM MBP-Nrp2a-CYTO MBP-PlexinA3 CYTO GST-Sema3d His-Sema3d MBP-Sema3d

14 Linking Primary Sequence Patterns to Protein Structure: Domains and Motifs Proteins are comprised of amino acids, and the chemical identity of each amino acid in a protein sequence determines its secondary and tertiary structure There are 20 standard amino acids

15 Protein Sequence Probability: A Coin Toss Probability (P) = Number of possible outcomes Total number of outcomes P = 0.5 P = 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 = (0.5) 3

16 Linking Sequence Patterns to Protein Structure Plexin A3 Transmembrane Sequence AIIGIGGGGGVLLIAIIAVLIA Glycine (G): P(G) = 1/20 P(GGGGG) = (1/20) 5 = 3 x 10-7 But this is true for any 5-mer sequence, not just GGGGG! So how do we know this is actually a unique sequence motif??? We instead use a positional sampling approach (Gibbs Sampling Algorithim) that compares the motif across a family of sequences

21 Plexin A3 TMCY Hypothesis: PlexinA3 interacts with itself and Nrp2a through its CYTO and/or TM domains due to unique sequence motifs found in TM and CYTO. Previous work (our group and (2009) PNAS 106: ) has suggested this region (primarily CYTO) is important for signal transduction.
