CryoEM structure of wild-type GAPDH
Structural highlights
FunctionG3P_HUMAN Has both glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and nitrosylase activities, thereby playing a role in glycolysis and nuclear functions, respectively. Participates in nuclear events including transcription, RNA transport, DNA replication and apoptosis. Nuclear functions are probably due to the nitrosylase activity that mediates cysteine S-nitrosylation of nuclear target proteins such as SIRT1, HDAC2 and PRKDC. Modulates the organization and assembly of the cytoskeleton. Facilitates the CHP1-dependent microtubule and membrane associations through its ability to stimulate the binding of CHP1 to microtubules (By similarity). Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is a key enzyme in glycolysis that catalyzes the first step of the pathway by converting D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) into 3-phospho-D-glyceroyl phosphate. Component of the GAIT (gamma interferon-activated inhibitor of translation) complex which mediates interferon-gamma-induced transcript-selective translation inhibition in inflammation processes. Upon interferon-gamma treatment assembles into the GAIT complex which binds to stem loop-containing GAIT elements in the 3'-UTR of diverse inflammatory mRNAs (such as ceruplasmin) and suppresses their translation.[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedCRISPR/Cas9-based genome engineering has revolutionized our ability to manipulate biological systems, particularly in higher organisms. Here, we designed a set of homology-directed repair donor templates that enable efficient tagging of endogenous proteins with affinity tags by transient transfection and selection of genome-edited cells in various human cell lines. Combined with technological advancements in single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy, this strategy allows efficient structural studies of endogenous proteins captured in their native cellular environment and during different cellular processes. We demonstrated this strategy by tagging six different human proteins in both HEK293T and Jurkat cells. Moreover, analysis of endogenous glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) in HEK293T cells allowed us to follow its behavior spatially and temporally in response to prolonged oxidative stress, correlating the increased number of oxidation-induced inactive catalytic sites in GAPDH with its translocation from cytosol to nucleus.
