Crystal structure of E. coli RppH-DapF complex, monomer bound to RNA
Structural highlights
Function[DAPF_ECOLI] Catalyzes the stereoinversion of LL-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate (L,L-DAP) to meso-diaminoheptanedioate (meso-DAP), a precursor of L-lysine and an essential component of the bacterial peptidoglycan. Only accepts DAP isomers with the L configuration.[1] [2] [3] [RPPH_ECOLI] Master regulator of 5'-dependent mRNA decay. Accelerates the degradation of transcripts by removing pyrophosphate from the 5'-end of triphosphorylated RNA, leading to a more labile monophosphorylated state that can stimulate subsequent ribonuclease cleavage. Preferentially hydrolyzes diadenosine penta-phosphate with ATP as one of the reaction products. Also able to hydrolyze diadenosine hexa- and tetra-phosphate. Has no activity on diadenosine tri-phosphate, ADP-ribose, NADH and UDP-glucose. In the meningitis causing strain E.coli K1, has been shown to play a role in HBMEC (human brain microvascular endothelial cells) invasion in vitro.[4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedVitally important for controlling gene expression in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, the deprotection of mRNA 5' termini is governed by enzymes whose activity is modulated by interactions with ancillary factors. In Escherichia coli, 5'-end-dependent mRNA degradation begins with the generation of monophosphorylated 5' termini by the RNA pyrophosphohydrolase RppH, which can be stimulated by DapF, a diaminopimelate epimerase involved in amino acid and cell wall biosynthesis. We have determined crystal structures of RppH-DapF complexes and measured rates of RNA deprotection. These studies show that DapF potentiates RppH activity in two ways, depending on the nature of the substrate. Its stimulatory effect on the reactivity of diphosphorylated RNAs, the predominant natural substrates of RppH, requires a substrate long enough to reach DapF in the complex, while the enhanced reactivity of triphosphorylated RNAs appears to involve DapF-induced changes in RppH itself and likewise increases with substrate length. This study provides a basis for understanding the intricate relationship between cellular metabolism and mRNA decay and reveals striking parallels with the stimulation of decapping activity in eukaryotes.
