The crystal structures of B. henselae nano-RNase C (NrnC) bound to pGG reveals motifs defining substrate specificity.

(A) The octameric assembly. NrnCBh is shown as surface representation in two views. Each monomer is shown in a distinct color. The cartoon illustrates the stacking of the two tetrameric NrnC rings that form the octamer with a central, round opening. (B) Active-site position. Each monomer contributes one active site, here bound to the substrate pGG, facing toward NrnC’s central pore. Each active site includes a C-terminal tail of a subunit from an adjacent ring. (C) Substrate coordination. The catalytic DEDDy motif and residues coordinating each moiety of pGG contacts are shown as sticks, with carbon residues colored according to monomer identity. Residue Y151 coordinates water molecule near the scissile bond. (D) Conservation mapping on a surface representation of a NrnC monomer. Conservation scores were calculated based on a multisequence alignments (MUSCLE; Edgar, 2004) of NrnC homologs identified using a sequence search on the EggNOG resource, version 5.0.0 (Huerta-Cepas et al., 2019) and the sequence of NrnCBh as the input. Outliers were identified based on sequence length and non-consensus insertions, resulting in a final collection of 560 sequences of putative NrnC orthologs. The two views, separated by a 180° rotation, show the cavity-facing (interior, left) and outer-facing (exterior, right) surface regions.

Inter- and intra-ring contacts in the NrnCBh octamer.

(A) Overview of three pGG-bound NrnCBh monomers. The monomers are shown in cartoon representation The chain colored in dark gray forms an intra-ring contact with the central, green-colored chain, whereas the chain colored in blue forms a representative inter-ring contact within the octameric nano-RNase C (NrnC). (B) Detailed intra-ring interface. (C) Detailed inter-ring interface. Residues contributing direct interactions between monomers are shown as sticks. Representative hydrogen bonds are shown as dashed lines.

Comparison of nano-RNase C (NrnC) to structurally related proteins reveals the constricted nature of NrnC’s active site.

(A) A pGG-bound NrnCBh inter-ring dimer (slate and green chains, with pGG carbon atoms shown in white) was superimposed on a structure of the exosome’s Rrp6 exonuclease (purple chain) bound to poly-A (pink carbon atoms; PDB:4oo1; Wasmuth et al., 2014). The inset shows a detailed view of the superimposed active sites. Numbering refers to the residues in the substrate. Phosphate cap residues of NrnC that block the path of poly-A substrate are shown as spheres. The black protein chain in top-right corner stems from an adjacent intra-ring monomer. (B) A substrate-free NrnCBm inter-ring dimer (slate and green chains) was superimposed on a structure of apo-RNase D (Zuo et al., 2005), highlighting conservation of the catalytic DEDDy motif and differences in regions around NrnC’s L-wedge and phosphate cap (inset). (C) Surface views of the active sites of NrnC, RNaseD, and Rrp6 accentuate the constraint of the NrnC active site. Translucent pGG represents modeled substrate as opposed to co-crystallized substrate.

Phosphate cap and L-wedge contribute to nano-RNase C’s (NrnC’s) diribonuclease activity.

(A) In vitro enzyme activity. Degradation of 32P-pGG (1 μM total) by purified wild-type NrnCBh 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 gels are shown (left). The graph (right) shows the means and SD of three independent experiments. (B) Effect of a dinucleotide lacking the 5′ phosphate (GG) and pAp on NrnC catalysis. pGG processing was assessed as in (A) but in the presence or absence of 100-fold excess (over 32P-pGG) GpG or pAp. Representative gels (left) and quantification from three independent experiments (right) are shown. Means and SD are plotted. (C) Competition binding studies. Fraction bound of 32P-pGpG to 200 nM purified NrnCBh in the presence of no competitor, 100 µM pGG, 100 µM GpG, or 100 µM pAp is plotted as individual data, means, and SD of four independent experiments. (D) Complementation of the small-colony phenotype of P. aeruginosaorn by wild-type and mutant NrnCBh. Bacterial cultures were diluted and dripped on LB agar plates. After overnight incubation, representative images of the plates were taken (left). Experiments were performed in triplicate. Quantification of respective colony sizes is shown as violin plots (right).

The conformation of nano-RNase C (NrnC) bound to substrates with more than two bases resembles the crystallographic apo-state.

(A) Comparison of the crystal structure of NrnCBh-pGG with the corresponding cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure shows agreement between the solution and crystalline state of the protein with a well-ordered conformation of the loop residues 130–137 engaging the substrate. (B) Comparison of the crystal structure of apo-NrnCBm with the cryo-EM structure of NrnCBm-pAAAGG. The superposition indicates that longer substrates may bind the active site but only the first full residues appear ordered, resulting in a conformation of nano-RNase C (NrnC) similar to the inactive state observed in the apo-state crystal structures.

The preferred substrates of NrnCBh are diribonucleotides and deoxy-dinucleotides.

(A–C) NrnCBh does not degrade dsDNA and dsRNA. DNA or RNA oligonucleotide sequences used are shown in (A). Primers 1 and 2 were annealed to generate a 27-nucleotide DNA or RNA with a 5′ overhang and primers 3 and 4 were annealed to generate a 3′ overhang of (length of overhang: 5 nucleotides). NrnCBh activity on 5′ overhang or 3′ overhang of DNA(B) and RNA (C) in the presence of Mg2+ and 100 mM NaCl. These experiments were performed with 3.3 nM of 5′-radiolabeled DNA or RNA. Aliquots of each reaction were stopped at the indicated times and analyzed by 20% urea PAGE. (D) dsDNA is not an inhibitor of NrnCBh’s activity on diribonucleotides. The rate of 32P-pGG degradation by 5 nM NrnCBh was assayed over time with no competitor, plasmid DNA (30 nM) that was cut with StuI, or primers (1 µM) annealed to generate 5-nucleotide 5′ or 3′ overhangs (primers in panel A). Samples were stopped at the indicated time points and analyzed by thin-layer chromatography. Data are from triplicate independent experiments. (E) NrnCBh cleaves DNA deoxy-dinucleotides. Degradation of 32P-pGG, pAA, pdAdA, and pdAdGdG (3.3 nM) by 5 nM NrnCBh is shown. Samples were stopped at the indicated time points and analyzed by TLC.

Presence of RNase homologs across sequenced organism classes.

Shown is a ‘Tree of Life’ with all taxonomic groups at the class level with at least one substantially complete proteome available in the dataset. The tree is based on the structure of the NCBI Taxonomy database, with bacterial taxa shown with purple lines, eukaryotic taxa shown with green lines, and archaeal taxa shown with red lines. The presence of each RNase homolog as a proportion of the total proteins in that taxonomic group is shown as either a filled square (>50% presence of a homolog per genome) or an empty square (<50% presence of a homolog per genome). Lack of a square indicates no homologs for that family were present in genomes of that class.

Phylogenetic tree of four DnaQ-fold RNase families.

(A) Phylogenetic tree of 669 representatives of the RNase T, RNase D, oligoribonuclease (Orn), and nano-RNase C (NrnC) families of RNase proteins. The inner ring represents the original classification of each sequence by HMM analysis. The outer ring represents the high-level taxonomic classification of the organism the protein is found in. The color of the branch represents the UFBoot bootstrap value, where black branches are <80%, red is 80%, orange is 85%, yellow is 90%, light green is 95%, and bright green is 100%. Bootstrap values > 90% indicate high-confidence splits. (B) Sequence logos of RNase D and NrnC subgroups. Sequence logos showing the relative entropy (information content) at selected positions in RNase D as well as the Actinobacterial and non-Actinobacterial subsets of NrnC. Sequence numbering is relative to Bartonella birtlessi NrnC (G4VUY7). Active site residues are shown in red, phosphate cap residues in dark blue, and the L-wedge in yellow.

Structural comparison of nano-RNase C (NrnC) and oligoribonuclease (Orn).

(A) Fold topology. pGG-bound NrnC and Orn monomers are shown in a similar orientation as cartoons (top) or schematic topology diagrams (bottom). Conserved catalytic core elements are colored in gray. NrnC and Orn-specific features are colored in green and purple, respectively. Other color codes mark the positions of the DEDDy/h motif (red spheres), L-wedge (yellow sphere), and phosphate cap residues (dark blue spheres). (B) Comparison of dimer units of NrnC and Orn (top) with close-ups of the composite active sites of the enzymes (bottom). An NrnC monomer is colored green and an Orn monomer is colored purple, with adjacent monomers in the biological assemblies colored in light gray. Specific residues are colored as in (A). Coordinate systems indicate the twofold symmetry axis of the enzyme dimers, with the colored monomers shown in a similar orientation. (C) Structurally and functionally conserved features common among NrnC- and Orn-type diribonucleases.
