Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) allostery mutants and their impact on NADH-driven dimer formation
Oxidoreductase Apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) supports critical mitochondrial activities, including OXPHOS biogenesis and cristae remodeling, and participates in the PARP-1-dependent cell death pathway parthanatos. These functions are seemingly regulated by allosteric monomer-dimer switching driven by binding and reduction by NADH. Using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we characterized a panel of monomer and dimer-permissive mutants to define molecular pathways linking AIF’s NADH active site to allosteric switching regions. These results were combined with X-ray crystallography and molecular dynamics and reported in “Defining NADH-Driven Allostery Regulating Apoptosis-Inducing Factor".

Experimental descriptionN-terminally truncated AIF (78-613) and point mutants were expressed in bacteria and purified by nickel affinity and gel filtration chromatography (expression tags were removed post-nickel purification). Purified proteins were concentrated and exchanged into SAXS buffer by size-exclusion chromatography (Superdex 200 10/300) to ensure monodisperse protein. SAXS samples were prepared at 3-4 mg/mL with direct addition of NADH ligand to protein and SEC-matched buffers. HT-SAXS data were collected by mail-in service at ALS beamline 12.3.1 (SIBYLS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The dataset available here contains wild-type AIF (78-613) and point mutants collected at 3-4 mg/mL with and without 10-fold molar excess NADH. Additional I(q) curves include the AIF-ΔC-loop mutant (C-loop dataset), which replaces AIF’s allosteric C-terminal loop (residues 511-558) with a GGGSSS insert, and a second truncation mutant (AIF121 datasets, residues 121-613) that completely removes AIF’s flexible N-terminus.
File descriptionFile names are descriptive. Wild-type AIF is designated as WT. N-terminal truncations are denoted as AIF78 (residues 78-613) or AIF121 (residues 121-613). Point mutations or the C-loop deletion are as indicated in the AIF78 background. The presence of NADH is also noted.
