Abstract

Nα-acetylation is a universal protein modification related to a wide range of physiological processes in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. RimI, an Nα-acetyltransferase in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is responsible for the acetylation of the α-amino group of the N-terminal residue in the ribosomal protein S18. Despite growing evidence that protein acetylation may be correlated with the pathogenesis of tuberculosis, no structural information is yet available for mechanistically understanding the MtRimI acetylation. To enable structural studies for MtRimI, we constructed a serial of recombinant MtRimI proteins and assessed their biochemical properties. We then chose an optimal construct MtRimIC21A4-153 and expressed and purified the truncated high-quality protein for further biophysical and functional characterizations. The 2D 1H-15N heteronuclear single quantum coherence spectrum of MtRimIC21A4-153 exhibits wider chemical shift dispersion and favorable peak isolation, indicating that MtRimIC21A4-153 is amendable for further structural determination. Moreover, bio-layer interferometry experiments showed that MtRimIC21A4-153 possessed similar micromolar affinity to full-length MtRimI for binding the hexapeptide substrate Ala-Arg-Tyr-Phe...Continue Reading
