ABSTRACTHMCES can covalently crosslink to abasic sites in single-stranded DNA at stalled replication forks to prevent genome instability. Here, we report crystal structures of the HMCES SRAP domain in complex with DNA-damage substrates, revealing interactions with both single-stranded and duplex segments of 3’ overhang DNA. HMCES may also bind gapped DNA and 5’ overhang structures to align single stranded abasic sites for crosslinking to the conserved Cys2 of its catalytic triad.

Human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) subfamily D transporter ABCD1 can transport CoA esters of saturated/monounsaturated long/very long chain fatty acid into the peroxisome for β-oxidation. Dysfunction of human ABCD1 causes X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, which is a severe progressive genetic disorder affecting the nervous system. Nevertheless, the mechanistic details of substrate recognition and translocation by ABCD1 remains obscure. Here, we present three cryo-EM structures of human ABCD1 in distinct functional states. In the apo-form structure of 3.53 Å resolution, ABCD1 exhibits an inward-facing conformation, allowing the lateral entry of substrate from the lipid bilayer. In the 3.59 Å structure of substrate-bound ABCD1, two molecules of C22:0-CoA, the physiological substrate of ABCD1, is symmetrically bound in two transmembrane domains (TMDs). Each C22:0-CoA adopts a L-shape, with its CoA portion and acyl chain components bound to two TMDs respectively, resembling a pair of strings that pull the TMDs closer, resultantly generating a narrower outward-facing conformation. In the 2.79 Å ATP-bound ABCD1 structure, the two nucleotide-binding domains dimerize, leading to an outward-facing conformation, which opens the translocation cavity exit towards the peroxisome matrix side and releases the substrates. Our study provides a molecular basis to understand the mechanism of ABCD1-mediated substrate recognition and translocation, and suggests a unique binding pattern for amphipathic molecules with long acyl chains.

AbstractHuman ATP-binding cassette (ABC) subfamily A (ABCA) transporters mediate the transport of various lipid compounds across the membrane. Mutations in human ABCA transporters have been described to cause severe hereditary disorders associated with impaired lipid transport. However, little is known about the mechanistic details of substrate recognition and translocation by ABCA transporters. Here, we present three cryo-EM structures of human ABCA4, a retinal-specific ABCA transporter, in distinct functional states at resolutions of 3.3-3.4 Å. In the nucleotide-free state, the two transmembrane domains (TMDs) exhibited a lateral-opening conformation, allowing the lateral entry of substrate from the lipid bilayer. N-retinylidene-phosphatidylethanolamine (NRPE), the physiological lipid substrate of ABCA4, is sandwiched between the two TMDs in the luminal leaflet and is further stabilized by an extended loop from extracellular domain 1. In the ATP-bound state, the two TMDs displayed an unprecedented closed conformation, which precludes the substrate binding. Our study provides a molecular basis to understand the mechanism of ABCA4-mediated NRPE recognition and translocation, and suggests a common ‘lateral access and extrusion’ mechanism for ABCA-mediated lipid transport.
