Abstract
Significance Despite the central role that budding yeast has played in telomere biology, structural analysis of the subunits of the yeast telomerase complex has proven to be challenging. We present here the structure of a yeast telomerase protein, Est3, using the resolution-adapted structural recombination Rosetta strategy that combines NMR experimental data with database-derived conformational sampling. A comprehensive in vivo analysis of the experimentally determined Est3 protein surface has identified two functionally important surfaces, opening up the possibility of a similar discovery in the structurally similar human TPP1 protein. Telomerase is essential for continuous cellular proliferation. Substantial insights have come from studies of budding yeast telomerase, which consists of a catalytic core in association with two regulatory proteins, ever shorter telomeres 1 and 3 (Est1 and Est3). We report here a high-resolution structure of the Est3 telomerase subunit determined using a recently developed strategy that combines minimal NMR experimental data with Rosetta de novo structure prediction algorithms. Est3 adopts an overall protein fold which is structurally similar to that adopted by the shelterin component TPP1. However, the characteristics of the surface of the experimentally determined Est3 structure are substantially different from those predicted by prior homology-based models of Est3. Structure-guided mutagenesis of the complete surface of the Est3 protein reveals two adjacent patches on a noncanonical face of the protein that differentially mediate telomere function. Mapping these two patches on the Est3 structure defines a set of shared features between Est3 and HsTPP1, suggesting an analogous multifunctional surface on TPP1.
