蓝藻生物钟的单分子和整体水平振荡

Single-molecular and Ensemble-level Oscillations of Cyanobacterial Circadian Clock

Sumita Das, Tomoki P. Terada, Masaki Sasai

摘要:

当三种蓝藻蛋白KaiA、KaiB和KaiC与ATP在体外孵育时,KaiC六聚体的磷酸化水平显示出稳定的振荡,周期约为24 h。为了理解这个KaiABC钟表机构,我们需要分析大量KaiC六聚体的宏观同步以及单个KaiC分子的微观反应和结构变化。在本文中,我们解释了两个粗粒度的理论模型,多分子(MM)模型和单分子(SM)模型,以弥合宏观和微观理解之间的差距。在这些模型的模拟结果中,ATP水解驱动单个KaiC六聚体的振荡,并且ATP水解对于同步大量KaiC六聚体的振荡是必要的。KaiC六聚体的CI域中ADP结合态的寿命的敏感温度依赖性使得振荡周期温度不敏感。ATP酶活性与KaiC六聚体的单个分子中的磷酸化振荡频率相关,这应该是观察到的ATP酶活性与磷酸化振荡频率之间的整体水平相关性的起源。因此,MM和SM模型的模拟结果表明,ATP水解随机发生在每个CI域的个别KaiC六聚体是一个关键的过程振荡行为的合奏许多KaiC六聚体。

英文摘要:

When three cyanobacterial proteins, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC, are incubated with ATP in vitro, the phosphorylation level of KaiC hexamers shows stable oscillation with approximately 24 h period. In order to understand this KaiABC clockwork, we need to analyze both the macroscopic synchronization of a large number of KaiC hexamers and the microscopic reactions and structural changes in individual KaiC molecules. In the present paper, we explain two coarse-grained theoretical models, the many-molecule (MM) model and the single-molecule (SM) model, to bridge the gap between macroscopic and microscopic understandings. In the simulation results with these models, ATP hydrolysis drives oscillation of individual KaiC hexamers and ATP hydrolysis is necessary for synchronizing oscillations of a large number of KaiC hexamers. Sensitive temperature dependence of the lifetime of the ADP bound state in the CI domain of KaiC hexamers makes the oscillation period temperature insensitive. ATPase activity is correlated to the frequency of phosphorylation oscillation in the single molecule of KaiC hexamer, which should be the origin of the observed ensemble-level correlation between the ATPase activity and the frequency of phosphorylation oscillation. Thus, the simulation results with the MM and SM models suggest that ATP hydrolysis randomly occurring in each CI domain of individual KaiC hexamers is a key process for oscillatory behaviors of the ensemble of many KaiC hexamers.
