Orn has a stark preference for diribonucleotide cleavage in vitro.

RNA nucleotides two to seven residues in length (1 μM, containing the corresponding 32P-labeled RNA tracer) were each subjected to cleavage over time with 5 nM (A, B) or 1000 nM OrnVc (C, D). Aliquots of each reaction were stopped at indicated times (min), and assessed by denaturing 20% PAGE (A, C). Quantification of the intensities of bands corresponding to the amount of uncleaved initial oligonucleotide over time are plotted as the average and SD of three independent experiments (B, D).

Structures reveal Orn’s conserved substrate preference for diribonucleotides.

Crystal structures of pGpG-bound V. cholerae Orn (A) and human REXO2 (B) are shown in comparison to E. coli RNase T bound to substrate (PDB 3nh1; Hsiao et al., 2011) (C), another DnaQ-fold 3’−5’ exoribonuclease with a DEDD(h) active site motif. The top panels show ribbon representations of the dimeric enzymes. The insets are surface representations of the enzymes’ active sites shown in similar orientations. The bottom panel describes the active site residues involved in RNA binding and catalysis. Residue numbering for REXO2 refers to its cytosolic isoform lacking the mitochondria-targeting pre-sequence. The sequence logos in (D) were constructed based on multi-sequence alignments of Orn and RNase T orthologs. Overall sequence identity ranges from 43 to 70% for Orn and 46 to 69% for RNase T. Sequence identifiers are provided in Figure 2—source data 2. Sequence logos were plotted using WebLogo (Crooks et al., 2004). Conserved residues of the active site’s DEDD motif (‘act.’; red), for ribonucleotide base binding (‘nuc.’; gray), and of the phosphate cap (‘P-cap’; purple) are highlighted.

Functional importance of active-site and phosphate-cap residues for Orn function.

(A) In vitro enzyme activity. Degradation of 32P-pGpG (1 μM) by purified wild-type OrnVc or variants with alanine substitutions (5 nM) at the indicated sites was assessed. Samples were stopped at the indicated times (min) and analyzed by denaturing 20% PAGE. Representative gel images are shown with the indicated RNA size. Figure 3—figure supplement 4 shows the graphs of the means and SD of three independent experiments. (B) In vivo activity of alanine substituted ornVc alleles to complement P. aeruginosa Δorn. Overnight cultures of the indicated strains were allowed to stand for 10 min without agitation to allow bacterial aggregates to sediment. Representative images of the cultures of triplicated assays are shown.

Figure 3—figure supplement 1
Contribution of catalytic residues and His10-MBP tag to binding interaction between OrnVc and pGpG.

The dissociation constants (Kd) of indicated purified (A) His10-MBP-OrnVc variants and (B) untagged OrnVc to pGpG were measured by DRaCALA. Fraction bound from data was plotted and determined by nonlinear regression. All data shown represent average and SD of three independent experiments.

Figure 3—figure supplement 2
Immunoblot analysis of Orn in P. aeruginosaorn expressing indicated orn alleles.

Proteins in whole cell lysates of strains expressing the indicated HA-tagged orn allele were separated by 12% SDS-PAGE and probed with anti-HA antibodies. All images were performed in duplicate independently. A representative image of two independent experiments is shown.

Molecular weight determination indicates that OrnVc variants with point mutations at the phosphate cap and active site remain dimeric.

(A) Absolute molecular weights (black data points across elution peaks are plotted on the right axis; theoretical monomer and dimer molecular weights, horizontal dashed lines) of wild-type OrnVc and point mutants were determined using SEC-MALS (90°-light scattering: colored, solid lines; refractive index signal: black, dashed lines; plotted on the left axis).

Figure 3—figure supplement 4
pGpG degradation by purified wild-type OrnVc or variants with indicated alanine substitutions.

1 µM pGpG was treated with 5 nM of the indicated Orn protein and sampled at indicated time points. The graphs show quantification of three independent data sets, of which representative radiographs are shown in Figure 3A.

OrnVc cleaves all diribonucleotides.

(A) OrnVc (5 nM) was incubated with di-purine (pRpR), purine-pyrimidine (pRpY or pYpR), or di-pyrimidine (pYpY) diribonucleotides (1 μM) containing the corresponding 32P-labeled RNA tracer. Aliquots of each reaction were stopped at the indicated times (min) and assessed by denaturing 20% PAGE. (B) Quantification of the intensities of bands corresponding to the amount of diribonucleotide cleaved at the 10 min time point. Results are the average and SD of duplicate independent experiments. Orn cleaves all diribonucleotides to nucleoside monosphosphates, albeit to varying extents. Diribonucleotides consisting of two purines (pRpR) were hydrolyzed most efficiently, with over 90% of starting RNAs processed by 10 min. A majority (>75%) of diribonucleotides with a 5' purine (pRpY) were also processed by the 10 min endpoint. However, diribonucleotides with a 5' pyrimidines exhibited moderately reduced levels of cleavage. Di-pyrimidine (pYpY) substrates, and in particular pUpC and pCpC, showed the slowest turnover from the substrates tested. These results demonstrate that while all diribonucleotides are acceptable substrates for Orn, the enzyme is likely to exhibit moderate preferences for diribonucleotides that contain a 5' purine.

Figure 4—figure supplement 1
Effect of GpG and pAp on Orn activity.

(A) Cleavage of 130 nM 32P-pGpG by 5 nM Orn in the absence or presence of unlabeled pAp, GpG or GMP (100 µM). (B) Fraction bound of 32P-pGpG to 200 nM Orn in presence of no competitor, 100 µM pGpG or 100 µM GpG. (C) Fraction bound of 32P-pAp to different concentration of OrnVc was determined by DRaCALA. Kd could not be measured as 32P-pAp binding to Orn was not saturated. (B) (C) All data shown represent duplicate-independent experiments.

Model for Orn’s cellular function as a diribonuclease.

RNA degradation is initiated by fragmentation via endoribonucleases (e.g. RNase E and RNase III) that cleave unstructured or structured RNA sequences. RNA fragments are processed further at their 3’ termini by 3’−5’ exoribonucleases (e.g. PNPase, RNase R, and RNase II). Their combined activity produces mononucleotides and various terminal diribonucleotides from the original RNA fragments. The pGpG (GG) linear diribonucleotide is also produced by linearization of c-di-GMP by specific phosphodiesterases, EAL- and HD-GYP-domain-containing enzymes, which terminate c-di-GMP signaling. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa and likely other organisms that rely on Orn for growth, Orn is the only diribonuclease that cleaves diribonucleotides to mononucleotides. In the absence of Orn, diribonucleotides accumulate with a drastic impact on cellular physiology, ranging from transcriptional changes, small-colony phenotypes and growth arrest, depending on the organism. Orn is also unique because it acts as the second phosphodiesterase in the degradation of c-di-GMP by clearing the pGpG intermediate. In an orn mutant, c-di-GMP levels are elevated through feedback inhibition of the c-di-GMP-degrading phosphodiesterases by pGpG, leading to the associated biofilm phenotypes.
