Description

Method for obtaining controllable TRPV5 variant based on computer simulation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of molecular dynamics computer simulation. More particularly, it relates to a method for obtaining regulatable TRPV5 variants based on computer modeling.
Background
Transient Receptor Potential cation channel proteins (TRP channels) are a class of cation channel proteins that are widely found in organisms, wherein TRPV5 is a member of the TRPV subfamily of members of the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channel superfamily, and is a cation channel protein of which the subfamily is V and member 5. The channel proteinConsisting of 729 amino acids and having a molecular weight of about 83 kDa. The corresponding gene consists of 15 exons arranged on chromosome 7q34, and is mainly distributed in kidney, osteoclast, placenta, etc. Among them, the distribution of renal tubules is high, and it is mainly expressed in apical cell membranes of renal epithelial cells in distal tubules and collecting tubules, and also expressed in osteoclasts, and its expression level is not as high as that in kidneys, but it is suggested that TRPV5 is an important channel protein mediating osteoclast bone resorption. The research proves that the calcium-calcium complex has the effect of reducing Ca in the kidney2+Active reabsorption is relevant, TRPV5 is a unique calcium-selective ion channel in the TRP family. First, when this channel is open, TRPV5 allows calcium ions in urine to enter the cell along a concentration gradient, and after calcium ions enter the cell through TRPV5, they diffuse to the basolateral membrane bound to calbindin D28K. Mice knockout of the relevant TRPV5 gene in the mouse study all showed varying degrees of in vivo ion imbalance and urine calcium overload. Studies with different populations also show that the low renal stone risk of african americans is also closely related to TRPV5 expression. Therefore, the active reabsorption process of TRPV5 calcium ions in the epidermal cells of kidney plays an important role in human body. Research on mechanism discussion, structural modification, regulation and the like of TRPV5 is beneficial to promoting the cognition of modern medicine on kidney diseases, and provides a new research angle for curing diseases caused by calcium ion imbalance.
At present, econazole (Econazol) and calcitonin (camodulin, CaM) are mostly used to be combined with residues at an outlet of TRPV5, calcium ion conduction of TRPV5 is regulated through experimental means such as sol electrophoresis, and the structure, electrophysiological properties and regulatory factors of TRPV5 are researched. However, experimental research has certain limitations, influence guidance is single, reverse reaction operability is poor, substances such as econazole, calcitonin and the like are not easy to separate once being combined with an outlet of TRPV5, ideal regulation and control effects can be achieved only by combining a plurality of compounds and residues, and cost is high. The research on the variant of the TRPV5 channel protein is complicated in experiment, long in culture time and difficult to operate, and becomes a research bottleneck of the TRPV 5. In addition, the process of conducting calcium ions by the TRPV5 is very short, the ion conduction process is difficult to capture experimentally, and the dynamic regulation process of the TRPV5 cannot be continuously observed, so that the research on the conduction performance and the protein structure design of the TRPV5 is limited.
The method for constructing the protein structure model by using computer simulation can save the experiment cost and has high efficiency. However, the research of constructing the TRPV5 channel protein variant structure by computer simulation of protein engineering and enzyme-catalyzed residue phosphorylation modification technology is not reported. Theoretically, a complex protein variant final structure in an ion uptake process can be constructed by simulating a protein and ion reaction process through a computer based on a reaction molecular dynamics method, but due to the fact that the number of variants is large, the final structures of the variants are only used for comparison, the performances of different variants are difficult to evaluate comprehensively, and meanwhile, the technical problems that the ion conduction continuous state is difficult to observe, the reaction affinity is uncontrollable, the simulation time is long, the calculated amount is large, the speed is slow and the like exist, and further research on the TRPV5 in the science of biochemistry, protein engineering and the like is not facilitated.

s1, analyzing key sites of a TRPV5 protein structure, carrying out mutation modification on the key sites to obtain a TRPV5 channel protein mutant A1 which loses the ability of taking calcium ions, and closing a channel;

s9, firstly, converting the crystal structure output files of S8 into PDB files suitable for observation by using an ambdbb module, then observing the final positions of calcium ions in the crystal structure output files by using VMD visualization software, analyzing the motion trail files of S8 by using an analysis module in molecular dynamics simulation software, and selecting and determining the final optimal TRPV5 channel protein variant according to the analysis result.
The tool software used by the invention is molecular dynamics simulation software, the type of the molecular dynamics simulation software is not limited in the invention, as long as the molecular dynamics simulation can be realized, and Amber16 calculation software is adopted in the implementation process of the invention.
The process of the invention is as shown in figure 1, firstly, using CHARMM-GUI to perform residue variation or phosphorylation modification on TRPV5 protein file, inserting calcium ions by modifying protein variant PDB file after determining entry coordinates by using VMD visualization software, and finally using CHARMM-GUI to construct cell membrane structure model for protein variant; then, performing a series of molecular dynamics simulations, including energy minimization, equilibrium state simulation and dynamics simulation; and finally, analyzing each final structure to obtain the feasibility of the protein engineering scheme, and providing a new idea for the artificial regulation scheme of TRPV 5.
In the present invention, the crystal structure Data of the TRPV5 channel Protein is derived from the PDB database (collectively called Protein Data Bank), and the crystal structure of the desired Protein channel is downloaded from the database.
The present invention provides residue variation and phosphorylation of TRPV5 entry residues in CHARMM-GUI (http:// www.charmm-GUI. org /). According to previous researches, the TRPV5 channel protein is a tetrameric protein, and the entrance of the TRPV5 channel protein is composed of four aspartic acids (Asp542 or D542 for short), so that the TRPV5 channel protein can be subjected to protein engineering at the position to endow the TRPV5 channel protein with artificial regulation function which is consistent with the experimental expectation.
The TRPV5 temporarily loses the capacity of taking calcium ions from the environment by means of residue variation, and the TRPV5 plays a role in closing the entrance of a channel. Therefore, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, aspartic acid 542 of TRPV5 channel protein is changed to isoserine (Ser, S), threonine (Thr, T) and tyrosine (Tyr, Y), respectively, and it is possible to satisfy the artificial regulation purpose because only the above three amino acids can be subjected to the next phosphorylation. After mutation of aspartate at the entrance (Asp542), three TRPV5 mutant structures, namely, serine mutant (D542S), threonine mutant (D542T) and tyrosine mutant (D542Y), were obtained.
In order to realize the manually-regulated channel opening, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, the protein variant channel inlet residues are respectively phosphorylated on the basis of step 5, the action of attracting calcium ions into the channel protein TRPV5 is newly given, and the mutated TRPV5 protein is phosphorylated through CHARMM-GUI, so that a phosphorylated serine mutant (D542S-Phos), a phosphorylated threonine mutant (D542T-Phos) and a phosphorylated tyrosine mutant (D542Y-Phos) are obtained.
In order to investigate whether calcium ions can enter an ion channel, the coordinates of an ion channel inlet are determined by virtue of molecular visualization software such as VMD (virtual machine format), and the calcium ions are placed at a position which is about 3 angstroms from the inlet in a vertical manner by manually modifying a protein crystal structure (PDB) file. The obtained crystal structures of the six protein variants are respectively inserted into calcium ions to be ingested, so that preparation is provided for the subsequent construction of a cell membrane system.
The invention constructs an intact cell membrane system for the obtained crystal structure of the protein variant containing calcium ions in CHARMM-GUI. The system mainly comprises protein, calcium ions, phospholipid bilayers, chloride ions, sodium ions and a solvent. The solvent is water. The invention adopts the most common palmitoyl oleoyl phosphatidylcholine (POPC, 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphatidylcholine) to build up a phospholipid bilayer, and the X-axis and Y-axis dimensions of the phospholipid bilayer are both 150 angstroms. The invention selects sodium ion and chloride ion (Na)+/Cl-) The system is adjusted to maintain the system electrically neutral. As a plurality of unnatural contacts are inevitably generated in the process of constructing the simulation system, the potential energy of the system is reduced by a dynamic simulation means.
Hair brushObviously, in order to reduce the abnormal conditions of overhigh potential energy of the system, elimination of atom position overlapping and the like, before the start of the dynamic simulation, the system is subjected to restrictive energy minimization optimization. The optimization is carried out aiming at phospholipid molecules, protein hydrogen atoms and solvent molecules, the positions and the structures of the atoms are optimized, unreasonable phenomena of atom overlapping, structure distortion and the like in a system are eliminated, and the potential energy of the system is further reduced. The CHARMM36m force field was used for the system in the present invention. The energy minimization optimization is carried out by adopting a Pmemd module in an Amber16 dynamic simulation tool, and a steepest descent method and a conjugate gradient method are sequentially adopted to carry out energy minimization optimization on a system. Firstly, a 2500-step steepest descent method is adopted to optimize the system, so that serious and unreasonable atom contact in the system is eliminated, and then a 2500-step conjugate gradient method is adopted to further optimize the system, so that the potential energy of the system is further reduced. Optimization process adopts

After the structural energy is minimized and optimized, the structure is subjected to pre-balance simulation, so that the potential energy of the system is further reduced under the preset experimental environment temperature and pressure. The invention uses a pmemd. cuda module of Amber16 to carry out pre-equilibrium simulation, and the system carries out six-step pre-equilibrium simulation in the step, and gradually releases the position limitation on protein heavy atoms and phospholipid molecules in the pre-equilibrium simulation process, wherein the position limitation weight of the protein heavy atoms is sequentially

The temperature control is carried out on the whole simulation process by adopting a Langevin temperature coupling method, wherein NVT pre-balance simulation with the temperature of 303.15K is adopted in the first step and the second step, NPT pre-balance simulation is adopted in the last four steps, so that the system adapts to the periodic boundary condition of 1 atmosphere, and a Monte Carlo pressure control method is adopted for pressure control. The SHAKE algorithm was used to limit all H-linked bonds to length, the cutoff for non-bond interactions was set to 12 angstroms, and the Particle-Mesh-EWald (PME) method was used to handle long-range electrostatic interactions. This step totals about 225000 steps for a total of 375ps of pre-balancing. This step ultimately allows for a lower energy architecture in preparation for subsequent kinetic simulations.
The invention carries out 1ns dynamic simulation on a well balanced system, thereby obtaining the ion motion situation and the structure change which are as close to the real environment as possible. In order to fully explore the movement path of calcium ions in the process of kinetic simulation, the kinetic simulation is divided into 10 parts to be sequentially carried out, each part is subjected to the kinetic simulation of 0.1ns, and a result file is output to be observed by using a VMD at a later stage. The invention uses the pmemd. cuda module of Amber16 to perform dynamic simulation on the system, the pressure control adopts Monte Carlo pressure control method, the temperature control adopts Langevin method, the environment is set to be 303.15K, the NPT ensemble of one atmosphere, and the cutoff value of non-bond interaction is set to be 10 angstroms.
After the simulation calculation is finished, the ambdbb module of Amber16 is used for converting the result file finally generated in each step of the simulation calculation into a PDB file for subsequent observation.
The invention adopts VMD software to analyze the tested calcium ion position and channel entrance structure change, measures the channel entrance width and the distance between the calcium ion and the channel entrance and the key residue in the channel by means of the software ranging tool, and analyzes whether the structure meets the requirement. Experiments show that the structures of the protein variants have certain defects, wherein the serine mutant (D542S) cannot effectively block the entrance of ions due to the small steric hindrance of serine, and cannot meet the function of closing the entrance of a channel. And the phosphorylated tyrosine mutant (D542Y-Phos) completely blocks the channel inlet due to the excessive steric hindrance, so that calcium ions stop near the channel inlet and are difficult to enter.
The threonine mutant (D542T) and the phosphotyrosine mutant (D542Y-Phos) finally obtained by the invention meet the requirements of artificial regulation and control of channel switches, and are shown in figure 4 and figure 5. Then, calcium ions are gradually placed at positions (such as 6 angstroms, 9 angstroms, 12 angstroms, 20 angstroms and the like) farther away from the entrance of the threonine mutant (D542T) and the phosphotyrosine mutant (D542Y-Phos) channel, and the three steps of energy minimization optimization, pre-equilibrium simulation and kinetic simulation are repeated on the basis of the calcium ions and the same parameters. In the dynamic simulation process, the invention sets that the crystal structure coordinate information is recorded once every 5000 steps, and the information is recorded in a track file in a NetCDF format.
After the track file in the NetCDF format is obtained, the track file is analyzed by using an analysis module in molecular dynamics simulation software, and the ion motion state is directly observed by using VMD. The track file is analyzed by adopting a Cpptraj module in the Amber16, distance instructions in the Cpptraj module are used for acquiring distance change data of calcium ions and the center of the channel inlet, and the ion movement trend and the intake speed can be analyzed through specific numerical change.
