Structure of substrate bound DRG1 (AFG2)
Structural highlights
Function[AFG2_YEAST] ATP-dependent chaperone which uses the energy provided by ATP hydrolysis to generate mechanical force to disassemble protein complexes (PubMed:12006565, PubMed:17646390, PubMed:23185031, PubMed:24371142). Plays an essential role in the cytoplasmic maturation steps of pre-60S ribosomal particles by promoting the release of shuttling protein RLP24 from the pre-ribosomal particles (PubMed:17646390, PubMed:23185031, PubMed:24371142). This step facilitates the subsequent release of other shuttling proteins such as NOG1 and allows the transition of the pre-ribosomal particles to later maturation forms that bind REI1 (PubMed:17646390, PubMed:23185031, PubMed:24371142). Essential for viability (PubMed:8109176, PubMed:24371142).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe AAA-ATPase Drg1 is a key factor in eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis that initiates cytoplasmic maturation of the large ribosomal subunit. Drg1 releases the shuttling maturation factor Rlp24 from pre-60S particles shortly after nuclear export, a strict requirement for downstream maturation. The molecular mechanism of release remained elusive. Here, we report a series of cryo-EM structures that captured the extraction of Rlp24 from pre-60S particles by Saccharomyces cerevisiae Drg1. These structures reveal that Arx1 and the eukaryote-specific rRNA expansion segment ES27 form a joint docking platform that positions Drg1 for efficient extraction of Rlp24 from the pre-ribosome. The tips of the Drg1 N domains thereby guide the Rlp24 C terminus into the central pore of the Drg1 hexamer, enabling extraction by a hand-over-hand translocation mechanism. Our results uncover substrate recognition and processing by Drg1 step by step and provide a comprehensive mechanistic picture of the conserved modus operandi of AAA-ATPases.
