Molecular recognition and substrate mimicry drive the electron-transfer process between MIA40 and ALR.

Abstract:

Oxidative protein folding in the mitochondrial intermembrane space requires the transfer of a disulfide bond from MIA40 to the substrate. During this process MIA40 is reduced and regenerated to a functional state through the interaction with the flavin-dependent sulfhydryl oxidase ALR. Here we present the mechanistic basis of ALR-MIA40 interaction at atomic resolution by biochemical and structural analyses of the mitochondrial ALR isoform and its covalent mixed disulfide intermediate with MIA40. This ALR isoform contains a folded FAD-binding domain at the C-terminus and an unstructured, flexible N-terminal domain, weakly and transiently interacting one with the other. A specific region of the N-terminal domain guides the interaction with the MIA40 substrate binding cleft (mimicking the interaction of the substrate itself), without being involved in the import of ALR. The hydrophobicity-driven binding of this region ensures precise protein-protein recognition needed for an efficient electron transfer process.

Evidence Evidence demonstrating that the participating proteins are unstructured prior to the interaction and their folding is coupled to binding.

Representative domain in related structures: ERV/ALR sulfhydryl oxidase domain

Evidence level: Insufficient evidence (candidate)

Evidence coverage: The full structure participates in mutual synergistic folding.

Complex Evidence:

There is no information on the stability/disorder of the monomeric forms of FAD-linked sulfhydryl oxidases. The wild-type protein is a dimer in solution (analytical equilibrium ultracentrifugation) (PMID:19576902). The, large, hydrophobic interface is made up of two longer, nearly antiparallel helices per monomer that mediate helix packing interactions to form the interface.

Surface and contacts features:

Related Structure(s) Structures from the PDB that contain the same number of proteins, and the proteins from the two structures show a sufficient degree of pairwise similarity, i.e. they belong to the same UniRef90 cluster (the full proteins exhibit at least 90% sequence identity) and convey roughly the same region to their respective interactions (the two regions from the two proteins share a minimum of 70% overlap).
