Abstract

The endonuclease Artemis is responsible for opening DNA hairpins during V(D)J recombination and for processing a subset of pathological DNA double-strand breaks. Artemis is an attractive target for the development of therapeutics to manage various B cell and T cell tumors, because failure to open DNA hairpins and accumulation of chromosomal breaks may reduce the proliferation and viability of pre-T and pre-B cell derivatives. However, structure-based drug discovery of specific Artemis inhibitors has been hampered by a lack of crystal structures. Here, we report the structure of the catalytic domain of recombinant human Artemis. The catalytic domain displayed a polypeptide fold similar overall to those of other members in the DNA cross-link repair gene SNM1 family and in mRNA 3′-end-processing endonuclease CPSF-73, containing metallo-β-lactamase and β-CASP domains and a cluster of conserved histidine and aspartate residues capable of binding two metal atoms in the catalytic site. As in SNM1A, only one zinc ion was located in the Artemis active site. However, Artemis displayed several unique features. Unlike in other members of this enzyme class, a second zinc ion was present in the β-CASP domain that leads to structural reorientation of the putative DNA-binding surface and extends the substrate-binding pocket to a new pocket, pocket III. Moreover, the substrate-binding surface exhibited a dominant and extensive positive charge distribution compared with that in the structures of SNM1A and SNM1B, presumably because of the structurally distinct DNA substrate of Artemis. The structural features identified here may provide opportunities for designing selective Artemis inhibitors.

V(D)J recombination is the process by which T cells and B cells randomly assemble variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) gene segments to generate unique Igs and T cell receptors that can collectively recognize an almost infinite variety of different antigens (1Roth D.B. V(D)J recombination: mechanism, errors, and fidelity.Microbiol. Spectr. 2014; 2: 1010.1128/microbiolspec.MDNA3-0041-2014Google Scholar). Artemis endonuclease is essential for the completion of this process (Fig. 1). It forms a complex with the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PKcs), which phosphorylates Artemis to reveal a structure-specific endonuclease activity that opens the DNA hairpins generated by the RAG (recombination activation gene) complex during the V(D)J recombination process (2Ma Y. Pannicke U. Schwarz K. Lieber M.R. Hairpin opening and overhang processing by an Artemis/DNA-dependent protein kinase complex in nonhomologous end joining and V(D)J recombination.Cell. 2002; 108: 781-79410.1016/S0092-8674(02)00671-2Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (780) Google Scholar). Because the Artemis–DNA-PKcs complex is the only enzyme that is capable of opening DNA hairpins, loss-of-function mutants in either Artemis or DNA-PKcs block B and T cell maturation and increase the radiosensitivity of pre-B and pre-T cells. Humans and mice with loss-of-function Artemis gene mutations display severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) (3Moshous D. Callebaut I. de Chasseval R. Corneo B. Cavazzana-Calvo M. Le Deist F. Tezcan I. Sanal O. Bertrand Y. Philippe N. Fischer A. de Villartay J.P. Artemis, a novel DNA double-strand break repair/V(D)J recombination protein, is mutated in human severe combined immune deficiency.Cell. 2001; 105: 177-18610.1016/S0092-8674(01)00309-9Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (673) Google Scholar). Artemis-deficient mice and DNA-PKcs-deficient mice exhibit a similar SCID phenotype and accumulate hairpin coding ends in thymocytes, suggesting that the Artemis–DNA-PKcs complex is the only enzyme that is capable of opening DNA hairpins (4Rooney S. Sekiguchi J. Zhu C. Cheng H.L. Manis J. Whitlow S. DeVido J. Foy D. Chaudhuri J. Lombard D. Alt F.W.

Human Artemis, 692 residues in length, contains an N-terminal catalytic domain (∼370 residues) with nuclease activity and a C-terminal regulatory region for DNA-PKcs interaction. The C-terminal segment (aa 448–462) is suggested to have a self-inhibitory role by interacting with the Artemis N-terminal catalytic domain (5Niewolik D. Peter I. Butscher C. Schwarz K. Autoinhibition of the nuclease ARTEMIS is mediated by a physical interaction between its catalytic and C-terminal domains.J. Biol.

Artemis is activated through phosphorylation at multiple sites in the C-terminal region by DNA-PKcs, ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase, and ataxia telangiectasia Rad3-related (ATR) serine/threonine kinases (6Dominski Z.

In the context of V(D)J recombination, Artemis is activated through phosphorylation by DNA-PKcs, which is itself activated when bound to ligands with double-strand DNA (dsDNA) ends. The dsDNA ends include hairpinned DNA ends, which arise after RAG cutting of DNA. Based on amino acid sequence analysis, the N-terminal Artemis catalytic domain has been classified in the β-CASP (CPSF, Artemis, SNM1, and Pso) family with a β-CASP domain fused to a conserved metallo-β-lactamase fold (Fig. 2B). Within this family, there are a number of RNA nucleases, such as CPSF-73, Bacillus ribonucleases RNAS J1 and J2, and three human DNA nucleases, SNM1A, SNM1B/Apollo, and Artemis/SNM1C, which make up the SNM1 family (6Dominski Z.

The catalytic center is located in the metallo-β-lactamase domain and harbors metal ions for catalysis, for example, two zinc ions in the crystal structure of CPSF-73 (Fig. 2C) (8Mandel C.R.

Some common sequence motifs in this domain have been summarized, such as motifs I–IV (9Aravind L. An evolutionary classification of the metallo-beta-lactamase fold proteins.In Silico Biol. 1999; 1 (11471246): 69-91PubMed Google Scholar) and motifs A–C. For Artemis, these motifs are the following: motif I, Asp-17; motif II, His-33, His-35, Asp-37, and His-38; motif III, His-115; motif IV, Asp-136; motif A, Asp-165; motif B, His-319; and motif C, V341 (Fig. 3) (7Callebaut I.
