On the synergy between myelin proteins P0, MBP, and P2 in peripheral nerve major dense line formation

Myelin is a proteolipid membrane multilayer held together by a set of proteins. The proper formation and function of the myelin sheath relies on the coordinated action of several key myelin proteins. Research exploring how proteins from the peripheral myelin cytoplasmic apposition - myelin basic protein (MBP), the cytoplasmic tail of myelin protein zero (P0ct), and peripheral myelin protein 2 (P2) - interact with each other and with myelin-like membranes was conducted using various techniques, such as small-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), as well as electron and live epifluorescence microscopy. DSC revealed changes in lipid interactions depending on the protein combination, with MBP and P0ct binding more tightly to lipid membranes than P2, resulting in altered membrane fluidity and stability. These results were supported by SPR, which indicated that the myelin proteins may compete for membrane surface binding. Analysis of the Bragg peaks induced by the myelin proteins in lipidic environments showed both lamellar and non-lamellar phases in protein-lipid complexes. The results indicate both synergy and competition between the three main proteins residing in the PNS myelin major dense line. Furthermore, the observed direct effects of myelin proteins on lipid membrane properties may be relevant to their function in myelinating cells.

Nanobodies against the myelin enzyme CNPase as tools for structural and functional studies

2,3-cyclic nucleotide 3-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) is an abundant constituent of central nervous system non-compact myelin, frequently used as a marker antigen for myelinating cells. The catalytic activity of CNPase, the 3-hydrolysis of 2,3-cyclic nucleotides, is well characterised in vitro, but the in vivo function of CNPase remains unclear. CNPase interacts with the actin cytoskeleton to counteract the developmental closure of cytoplasmic channels that travel through compact myelin; its enzymatic activity may be involved in adenosine metabolism and RNA degradation. We developed a set of high-affinity nanobodies recognizing the phosphodiesterase domain of CNPase, and the crystal structures of each complex show that the five nanobodies have distinct epitopes. One of the nanobodies bound deep into the CNPase active site and acted as an inhibitor. Moreover, the nanobodies were characterised in imaging applications and as intrabodies, expressed in mammalian cells, such as primary oligodendrocytes. Fluorescently labelled nanobodies functioned in imaging of teased nerve fibers and whole brain tissue sections, as well as super-resolution microscopy. These anti-CNPase nanobodies provide new tools for structural and functional biology of myelination, including high-resolution imaging of nerve tissue.

The cytoplasmic tail of myelin protein zero induces morphological changes in lipid membranes

The major myelin protein expressed by the peripheral nervous system Schwann cells is protein zero (P0), representing 50% of the total protein content in myelin. This 30-kDa integral membrane protein consists of an immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain, a transmembrane helix, and a 69-residue C-terminal cytoplasmic tail (P0ct). The basic residues in P0ct contribute to the tight packing of the myelin lipid bilayers, and alterations in the tail affect how P0 functions as an adhesion molecule necessary for the stability of compact myelin. Several neurodegenerative neuropathies are related to P0, including the more common Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (DSS), but also rare cases of motor and sensory polyneuropathy. We find that high P0ct concentrations affect the membrane properties of bicelles and induce a lamellar-to-inverted hexagonal phase transition, which causes the bicelles to fuse into long, protein-containing filament-like structures. These structures likely reflect the formation of semi-crystalline lipid domains of potential relevance for myelination. Not only is P0ct important for stacking lipid membranes, but time-lapse fluorescence microscopy shows that it might affect membrane properties during myelination. We further describe recombinant production and low-resolution structural characterization of full-length human P0. Our findings shed light on P0ct effects on membrane properties, and with successful purification of full-length P0, we have new tools to study in vitro the role P0 has in myelin formation and maintenance.

Structural properties of the HNF-1A transactivation domain

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 (HNF-1A) is a transcription factor with important gene regulatory roles in pancreatic {beta}-cells. HNF1A gene variants are associated with a monogenic form of diabetes (HNF1A-MODY) or an increased risk for type 2 diabetes. While several pancreatic target genes of HNF-1A have been described, a lack of knowledge regarding the structure-function relationships in HNF-1A prohibits a detailed understanding of HNF-1A-mediated gene transcription, which is important for precision medicine and improved patient care. Therefore, we aimed to characterize the understudied transactivation domain (TAD) of HNF-1A in vitro. We present a bioinformatic approach to dissect the TAD sequence, analyzing protein structure, sequence composition, sequence conservation, and the existence of protein interaction motifs. Moreover, we developed the first protocol for the recombinant expression and purification of the HNF-1A TAD. Small-angle X-ray scattering and synchrotron radiation circular dichroism suggested a disordered conformation for the TAD. Furthermore, we present functional data on HNF-1A undergoing liquid-liquid phase separation, which is in line with in silico predictions and may be of biological relevance for gene transcriptional processes in pancreatic {beta}-cells.

The intrinsically disordered protein glue of myelin: Linking AlphaFold2 predictions to experimental data

Numerous human proteins are either partially or fully classified as intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). Due to their properties, high-resolution structural information about IDPs is generally lacking. On the other hand, IDPs are known to adopt local ordered structures upon interactions with ligands, which could be e.g. other proteins or lipid membrane surfaces. While recent developments in protein structure prediction have been revolutionary, their impact on IDP research at high resolution remains limited. We took a specific example of two myelin-specific IDPs, the myelin basic protein (MBP) and the cytoplasmic domain of myelin protein zero (P0ct). Both of these IDPs are known to be crucial for normal nervous system development and function, and while they are disordered in solution, upon membrane binding, they partially fold into helices, being embedded into the lipid membrane. We carried out AlphaFold2 predictions of both proteins and analysed the models in light of previously published data related to solution structure and molecular interactions. We observe that the predicted models have helical segments that closely correspond to the characterised membrane-binding sites on both proteins. We furthermore analyse the fits of the models to SAXS data from the same IDPs. Artificial intelligence-based models of IDPs appear to be able to provide detailed information on the ligand-bound state of these proteins, instead of the form dominating free in solution. We further discuss the implications of the predictions for normal mammalian nervous system myelination and their relevance to understanding disease aspects of these IDPs.

Human myelin proteolipid protein structure and lipid bilayer stacking

The myelin sheath is an essential, multilayered membrane structure that insulates axons, enabling the rapid transmission of nerve impulses. The tetraspan myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) is the most abundant protein of compact myelin in the central nervous system (CNS). The integral membrane protein PLP adheres myelin membranes together and enhances the compaction of myelin, having a fundamental role in myelin stability and axonal support. PLP is linked to severe CNS neuropathies, including inherited Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease and spastic paraplegia type 2, as well as multiple sclerosis. Nevertheless, the structure, lipid interaction properties, and membrane organization mechanisms of PLP have remained unidentified. We expressed, purified, and structurally characterized human PLP and its shorter isoform DM20. Synchrotron radiation circular dichroism spectroscopy and small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering revealed a dimeric, -helical conformation for both PLP and DM20 in detergent complexes, and pinpoint structural variations between the isoforms and their influence on protein function. In phosphatidylcholine membranes, reconstituted PLP and DM20 spontaneously induced formation of multilamellar myelin-like membrane assemblies. Cholesterol and sphingomyelin enhanced the membrane organization but were not crucial for membrane stacking. Electron cryomicroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and X-ray diffraction experiments for membrane-embedded PLP/DM20 illustrated effective membrane stacking and ordered organization of membrane assemblies with a repeat distance in line with CNS myelin. Our results shed light on the 3D structure of myelin PLP and DM20, their structure-function differences, as well as fundamental protein-lipid interplay in CNS compact myelin.

Structural insights into Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease-linked mutations in human GDAP1

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common inherited peripheral polyneuropathy in humans, and its different subtypes are linked to mutations in dozens of different genes. Mutations in ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 (GDAP1) cause two types of CMT, demyelinating CMT4A and axonal CMT2K. The GDAP1-linked CMT genotypes are mainly missense point mutations. Despite clinical profiling and in vivo studies on the mutations, the etiology of GDAP1-linked CMT is poorly understood. Here, we describe the biochemical and structural properties of the Finnish founding CMT2K mutation H123R as well as CMT2K-linked R120W, both of which are autosomal dominant mutations. The disease variant proteins retain close to normal structure and solution behaviour, but both present a large decrease in thermal stability. Using GDAP1 variant crystal structures, we identify a side chain interaction network between helices 3, 6, and 7, which is affected by CMT mutations, as well as a hinge in the long helix 6, which is linked to structural flexibility. Structural analysis of GDAP1 indicates that CMT may arise from disruption of specific intra- and intermolecular interaction networks, leading to alterations in GDAP1 structure and stability, and eventually, insufficient motor and sensory neuron function.

Structural and biophysical characterization of HNF-1A as a tool to study MODY3 diabetes variants

Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1A (HNF-1A) is a transcription factor expressed in several embryonic and adult tissues, modulating expression of numerous target genes. Pathogenic variants in the HNF1A gene cause maturity-onset diabetes of the young 3 (MODY3 or HNF1A MODY), characterized by dominant inheritance, age of onset before 25-35 years of age, and pancreatic {beta}-cell dysfunction. A precise diagnosis alters management as insulin can be exchanged with sulfonylurea tablets and genetic counselling differs from polygenic forms of diabetes. More knowledge on mechanisms of HNF-1A function and the level of pathogenicity of the numerous HNF1A variants identified by exome sequencing is required for precise diagnostics. Here, we have structurally and biophysically characterized an HNF-1A protein containing both the DNA binding domain and the dimerization domain. We also present a novel approach to characterize HNF-1A variants. The folding and DNA binding capacity of two established MODY3 HNF-1A variant proteins (P112L, R263C) and one variant of unknown significance (N266S) were determined. All three variants showed reduced functionality compared to the wild-type protein. While the R263C and N266S variants displayed reduced binding to an HNF-1A target promoter, the P112L variant was unstable in vitro and in cells. Our results support and mechanistically explain disease causality for all investigated variants and allow for the dissection of structurally unstable and DNA binding defective variants. This points towards structural and biochemical investigation of HNF-1A being a valuable aid in reliable variant classification needed for precision diagnostics and management.

High-affinity nanobodies as tools for structural and functional studies on mammalian Arc

Activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein (Arc) is a multidomain protein of retroviral origin with a vital role in the regulation of synaptic plasticity and memory formation in mammals. However, the mechanistic and structural basis of Arc function is little understood. Arc has an NTD involved in membrane binding and a CTD which binds postsynaptic protein ligands. In addition, the NTD and CTD both function in Arc oligomerization, including assembly of retrovirus-like capsid involved in intercellular signaling. We produced and characterised six ultra-high-affinity anti-Arc nanobodies (Nb). The CTD of both rat and human Arc could be crystallised in ternary complexes with two Nbs simultaneously bound (H11 and C11). H11 binding deep into the stargazing-binding pocket of Arc CTD suggested competitive binding with Arc ligand peptides, which was confirmed in vitro. This indicates that the H11 Nb could serve as a genetically-encoded tool for inhibition of endogenous Arc N-lobe interactions in study of neuronal function and plasticity. The crystallisation of the human Arc CTD in two different conformations, accompanied by SAXS data and molecular dynamics simulations, paints a dynamic picture of the mammalian Arc CTD. Dynamics were affected by mutations known to inhibit capsid formation, implying a role for Arc CTD dynamics in oligomerisation. Dimerisation of the NTD, together with structural dynamics of the CTD, suggest a mechanism, by which structural dynamics of the CTD may promote capsomer formation, and dimerisation of the NTD links capsomers, facilitating the formation of capsids. The described recombinant ultrahigh-affinity anti-Arc Nbs are versatile tools that can be further developed for studying mammalian Arc structure and function in vitro and in vivo.

Structure of the complete dimeric human GDAP1 core domain provides insights into ligand binding and clustering of disease mutations

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is one of the most common inherited neurological disorders. Despite the common involvement of ganglioside-induced differentiation-associated protein 1 (GDAP1) in CMT, the protein structure and function, as well as the pathogenic mechanisms, remain unclear. We determined the crystal structure of the complete human GDAP1 core domain, which shows a novel mode of dimerization within the glutathione S-transferase (GST) family. The long GDAP1-specific insertion forms an extended helix and a flexible loop. GDAP1 is catalytically inactive towards classical GST substrates. Through metabolite screening, we identified a ligand for GDAP1, the fatty acid hexadecanedioic acid, which is relevant for mitochondrial membrane permeability and Ca2+ homeostasis. The fatty acid binds to a pocket next to a CMT-linked residue cluster, increases protein stability, and induces changes in protein conformation and oligomerization. The closest homologue of GDAP1, GDAP1L1, is monomeric in its full-length form. Our results highlight the uniqueness of GDAP1 within the GST family and point towards allosteric mechanisms in regulating GDAP1 oligomeric state and function.

Structure of transmembrane prolyl 4-hydroxylase reveals unique organization of EF and dioxygenase domains

Prolyl 4-hydroxylases (P4Hs) catalyze post-translational hydroxylation of peptidyl proline residues. In addition to collagen P4Hs and hypoxia-inducible factor P4Hs, a poorly characterized endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized transmembrane prolyl 4-hydroxylase (P4H-TM) is found in animals. P4H-TM variants are associated with the familiar neurological HIDEA syndrome. Here, the 3D structure of the soluble human P4H-TM was solved using X-ray crystallography. The structure revealed an EF-domain with two Ca2+-binding motifs inserted to the catalytic domain. A substrate-binding cavity was formed between the EF-domain and the catalytic domain. The active site contained bound Fe2+ and N-oxalylglycine. Comparison to homologous structures complexed with peptide substrates showed that the substrate interacting residues and the lid structure that folds over the substrate are conserved in P4H-TM. Differences to homologs were found in the extensive loop structures that surround the substrate-binding cavity and generate a negative surface charge. Ca2+-binding affinity of P4H-TM was determined to be within the range of physiological Ca2+ concentration in the ER. The proximity of the EF-domain to the active site suggests that Ca2+-binding is relevant to the catalytic activity. P4H-TM was found both as a monomer and a dimer in solution, but the monomer-dimer equilibrium was not regulated by Ca2+. The solved 3D structure suggests that the HIDEA variants cause loss of P4H-TM function. In conclusion, P4H-TM shares key structural elements with the known P4Hs while possessing a unique property among the 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases having an EF-domain and a catalytic activity potentially regulated by Ca2+.

Structure and substrate specificity determinants of the taurine biosynthetic enzyme cysteine sulphinic acid decarboxylase

Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is an important cofactor for amino acid decarboxylases with many biological functions, including the synthesis of signalling molecules, such as serotonin, dopamine, histamine,{gamma} -aminobutyric acid, and taurine. Taurine is an abundant amino acid with multiple physiological functions, including osmoregulation, pH regulation, antioxidative protection, and neuromodulation. In mammalian tissues, taurine is mainly produced by decarboxylation of cysteine sulphinic acid to hypotaurine, catalysed by the PLP-dependent cysteine sulphinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD), followed by non-enzymatic oxidation of the product to taurine. We determined the crystal structure of mouse CSAD and compared it to other PLP-dependent decarboxylases in order to identify determinants of substrate specificity and catalytic activity. Recognition of the substrate involves distinct side chains forming the substrate-binding cavity. In addition, the backbone conformation of a buried active-site loop appears to be a critical determinant for substrate side chain binding in PLP-dependent decarboxylases. Phe94 was predicted to affect substrate specificity, and its mutation to serine altered both the catalytic properties of CSAD and its stability. Using small-angle X-ray scattering, we further showed that similarly to its closest homologue, GADL1, CSAD presents open/close motions in solution. The structure of apo-CSAD indicates that the active site gets more ordered upon internal aldimine formation. Taken together, the results highlight details of substrate recognition in PLP-dependent decarboxylases and provide starting points for structure-based inhibitor design with the aim of affecting the biosynthesis of taurine and other abundant amino acid metabolites.

Structure of the ALS Mutation Target Annexin A11 Reveals a Stabilising N-Terminal Segment

The functions of the annexin family of proteins involve binding to Ca2+, lipid membranes, other proteins, and RNA, and the annexins share a common folded core structure at the C terminus. Annexin A11 (AnxA11) has a long N-terminal region, which is predicted to be disordered, binds RNA, and forms membraneless organelles involved in neuronal transport. Mutations in AnxA11 have been linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We studied the structure and stability of AnxA11 and identified a short stabilising segment in the N-terminal end of the folded core, which links domains I and IV. Crystal structure of the AnxA11 core highlights main-chain hydrogen bonding interactions formed through this bridging segment, which are likely conserved in most annexins. The structure was also used to study the currently known ALS mutations in AnxA11. Three of these mutations correspond to buried Arg residues highly conserved in the annexin family, indicating central roles in annexin folding. The structural data provide starting points for detailed structure-function studies of both full-length AnxA11 and the disease variants being identified in ALS.

Determinants for forming a supramolecular myelin-like proteolipid lattice

Myelin protein P2 is a peripheral membrane protein of the fatty acid binding protein family. It functions in the formation and maintenance of the peripheral nerve myelin sheath, and several P2 mutations causing human Charot-Marie-Tooth neuropathy have been reported. Here, electron cryomicroscopy of myelin-like proteolipid multilayers revealed a three-dimensionally ordered lattice of P2 molecules between stacked lipid bilayers, visualizing its possible assembly at the myelin major dense line. A single layer of P2 is inserted between two bilayers in a tight intermembrane space of [~]3 nm, implying direct interactions between P2 and two membrane surfaces. Further details on lateral protein organization were revealed through X-ray diffraction from bicelles stacked by P2. Surface mutagenesis of P2 coupled to structural and functional experiments revealed a role for both the portal region and the opposite face of P2 in membrane interactions. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of P2 on myelin-like and model membrane surfaces suggested that Arg88 is an important residue for P2-membrane interactions, in addition to the helical lid domain on the opposite face of the molecule. Negatively charged myelin lipid headgroups anchor P2 stably on the bilayer surface. Membrane binding may be accompanied by opening of the P2 {beta} barrel structure and ligand exchange with the apposing lipid bilayer. Our results provide an unprecedented view into an ordered, multilayered biomolecular membrane system induced by the presence of a peripheral membrane protein from human myelin. This is an important step towards deciphering the 3-dimensional assembly of a mature myelin sheath at the molecular level.

Neuropathy-related mutations alter the membrane binding properties of the human myelin protein P0 cytoplasmic tail

Schwann cells myelinate selected axons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and contribute to fast saltatory conduction via the formation of compact myelin, in which water is excluded from between tightly adhered lipid bilayers. Peripheral neuropathies, such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) and Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (DSS), are incurable demyelinating conditions that result in pain, decrease in muscle mass, and functional impairment. Many Schwann cell proteins, which are directly involved in the stability of compact myelin or its development, are subject to mutations linked to these neuropathies. The most abundant PNS myelin protein is protein zero (P0); point mutations in this transmembrane protein cause CMT subtype 1B and DSS. P0 tethers apposing lipid bilayers together through its extracellular immunoglobulin-like domain. Additionally, P0 contains a cytoplasmic tail (P0ct), which is membrane-associated and contributes to the physical properties of the lipid membrane. Six CMT- and DSS-associated missense mutations have been reported in P0ct. We generated recombinant disease mutant variants of P0ct and characterized them using biophysical methods. Compared to wild-type P0ct, some mutants have negligible differences in function and folding, while others highlight functionally important amino acids within P0ct. For example, the D224Y variant of P0ct induced tight membrane multilayer stacking. Our results show a putative molecular basis for the hypermyelinating phenotype observed in patients with this particular mutation and provide overall information on the effects of disease-linked mutations in a flexible, membrane-binding protein segment.

Ionic strength and calcium regulate the membrane interactions of myelin basic protein and the cytoplasmic domain of myelin protein zero

The formation of a mature myelin sheath in the vertebrate nervous system requires specific protein-membrane interactions. Several myelin-specific proteins are involved in the stacking of lipid membranes into multilayered structures around neuronal axons, and misregulation of these processes may contribute to chronic demyelinating diseases. Two key proteins functioning in myelin membrane binding and stacking are the myelin basic protein (MBP) and protein zero (P0). Other factors, including Ca2+, are important for the regulation of myelination. Here, we studied the effects of ionic strength and Ca2+ on the direct molecular membrane interactions of MBP and the cytoplasmic domain of P0 (P0ct). While both MBP and P0ct bound and aggregated negatively charged lipid vesicles, while simultaneously folding, both ionic strength and calcium had systematic effects on these interactions. Especially when decreasing membrane net negative charge, the level and kinetics of vesicle aggregation, which is a functional assay for myelin membrane-stacking proteins, were affected by both salt and Ca2+. The results indicate that the effects on lipid membrane surfaces by ions can directly affect myelin protein-membrane interactions at the molecular level, in addition to signalling effects in myelinating glia.

Direct binding of the flexible C-terminal segment of periaxin to β4 integrin suggests a molecular basis for CMT4F

The process of myelination in the nervous system requires coordinated formation of both transient and stable supramolecular complexes. Myelin-specific proteins play key roles in these assemblies, which may link membranes to each other or connect the myelinating cell cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. The myelin protein periaxin is known to play an important role in linking the Schwann cell cytoskeleton to the basal lamina through membrane receptors, such as the dystroglycan complex. Mutation that truncate periaxin from the C terminus cause demyelinating peripheral neuropathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4F, indicating a function for the periaxin C-terminal region in myelination. We identified the cytoplasmic domain of {beta}4 integrin as a specific high-affinity binding partner for periaxin. The C-terminal region of periaxin remains unfolded and flexible when bound to the third fibronectin type III domain of {beta}4 integrin. Our data suggest that periaxin is able to link the Schwann cell cytoplasm to the basal lamina through a two-pronged interaction via different membrane protein complexes, which bind close to the N and C terminus of this elongated, flexible molecule.

Molecular structure and function of myelin protein P0 in membrane stacking

Compact myelin forms the basis of nerve insulation essential for higher vertebrates. Dozens of myelin membrane bilayers undergo tight stacking, and in the peripheral nervous system, this is partially enabled by myelin protein zero (P0). Consisting of an immunoglobulin (Ig)-like extracellular domain, a single transmembrane helix, and a cytoplasmic extension (P0ct), P0 harbours an important task in ensuring the integrity of compact myelin in the extracellular compartment, referred to as the intraperiod line. Several disease mutations resulting in peripheral neuropathies have been identified for P0, reflecting its physiological importance, but the arrangement of P0 within the myelin ultrastructure remains obscure. We performed a biophysical characterization of recombinant P0ct. P0ct contributes to the binding affinity between apposed cytoplasmic myelin membrane leaflets, which not only results in fluidity changes of the bilayers themselves, but also potentially involves the rearrangement of the Ig-like domains in a manner that stabilizes the intraperiod line. Transmission electron cryomicroscopy of native full-length P0 showed that P0 stacks lipid membranes by forming antiparallel dimers between the extracellular Ig-like domains. The zipper-like arrangement of the P0 extracellular domains between two membranes explains the double structure of the myelin intraperiod line. Our results contribute to the understanding of PNS myelin, the role of P0 therein, and the underlying molecular foundation of compact myelin stability in health and disease.
