    a) Phylogenetic distribution profiles of PRPS homologs in eukaryotes and PRPS homologs containing NHR in opisthokonts (presence/absence) are noted across the tree. PRPSAP2 represent orthologs of mammalian PRPSAP2 while Prs1 and Prs5 represent orthologs of S. cerevisiae Prs1 and Prs5, respectively. b) Analysis of conserved splice site junction among PRPS homologs across different representative organisms of Opisthokonta. Exons from each of the PRPS, PRPSAP2 and Prs5 encoding genes are merged to highlight the highly splice site junction with coding amino acids above. In <t>PRPS1,</t> red dots mark the regulatory flexible loop where insertions occur in Prs5 orthologs (red hatch marks), and black dots mark the catalytic flexible loop where insertions occur in PRPSAP2 orthologs (black hatch marks). Notably, some Prs5 orthologs possess additional insertions in the catalytic flexible loop. c) Phylogenetic distribution profiles of PRPS homologs in chordates (presence/absence) are noted across the tree. d) The structure of dimeric human PRPS1 (PDB ID: 2HCR), and a zoom in of the catalytic site highlighting metal binding site (Cd 2+ ), AMP (representing the AMP moiety of the ATP), SO - (representing the 5’-phosphate of R5P), and several conserved active site residues (magenta).

    Techniques: Binding Assay

    a) The catalytic flexible (CF) loop from the sequence alignments of PRPS homologs from representative organisms of Opisthokonta, Amoebozoa (Evosea), Apusozoa, and CRuMs. PrsA in Evosea is the PRPS enzyme while PrsB represents the PRPS homologs with insertions in the CF loop (NHRs), similar to Opisthokonta PRPSAP2. PRPS homologs in Apusozoa and CRuMs that share features with Opisthokonta PRPSAP2 are termed “PRPSAP-like”. Underlined residues denote the NHRs. For S. cerevisiae Prs1 and D. rotans PRPSAP-like sequence, only a part of the insertion is shown, and the rest of the sequence is represented by hatch marks. b) PRPS paralogs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Homo sapiens showing relative positions of non-homologous regions – NHR1 of Prs1, NHR5-1 and NHR5-2 of Prs5, NHRs of PRPSAP1 and PRPSAP2. The open bar represents the polypeptide for Prs2, Prs3, and Prs4 in S. cerevisiae , and for PRPS1 and PRPS2 in H. sapiens . The insertion points for Prs1, Prs5, PRPSAP1, and PRPSAP2 are marked, with NHRs indicated as triangles either above or below the open bar. The residue numbers on the NHRs indicate the amino acid positions on the respective homologs. c) and d) The N-terminal residues from a sequence alignment of PRPS homologs from representative organisms of Amorphea. Opisthokonta PRPSAP2 sequences are more similar to Opisthokonta PRPS enzymes (blue box) than to PRPS from Apusozoa, Breviatea and Amoebozoa (c) while Evosea PrsB sequences are more similar to Evosea PrsA (red box) than to PRPS from Apusozoa, Breviatea and Opisthokonta (d) indicating that PRPSAP2 and PrsB likely emerged independently from ancestral Opisthokonta PRPS1 and Evosea PrsA, respectively. e) Analysis of conserved splice site junction among PrsA and PrsB homologs across different representative organisms of Evosea. Exons from each of the Prs encoding genes are merged to highlight the splice site junctions. PrsA shares a conserved splice site junction – LH_(A/S)S – with PrsB, further supporting that PrsB likely originated from a gene duplication event in the ancestral Evosea PrsA.

    Techniques:

    a) WebLogo depicting the multiple sequence alignment of the active site residues of PRPS1 and PRPSAP2 from representative organisms in Opisthokonta (n = 44 for PRPS1 and n = 44 for PRPSAP2). Residues from the FLAG region, regulatory flexible loop, pyrophosphate (PP) loop, CF loop, and R5P binding loop are indicated. Many residues shown are conserved in PRPS1 but not in PRPSAP2. The numbers below the logo sequences indicate the corresponding residue positions of the human PRPS1 (NP_002755.1) and PRPSAP2 (NP_001340030.1). Asterisks denote some evolutionarily conserved active site residues that are exclusive to PRPS enzymes and highlighted in (d) but replaced with different residues at the corresponding positions in PRPSAPs, highlighted in (e). b) The trimeric structure of human PRPS1 (PDB: 2HCR). In the dashed box, red- and magenta-colored residues represent those involved in the formation of bent (B and C subunits) and parallel (A and B subunits) dimers, respectively. The amino acid sequence of B. subtilis PRPS was aligned with the Opisthokonta PRPS homologs, and the corresponding dimer interface residues were selected for generating the WebLogo. Sequences for PRPS1 (n = 44) and PRPSAP2 (n = 44) are derived from representative organisms within opisthokonts, while PRPS2 (n = 46) and PRPSAP1 (n = 92) sequences are derived from representative organisms within jawed vertebrates. The numbers below the logo sequences indicate the corresponding residues positions of the human PRPS1 (NP_002755.1), PRPS2 (NP_002756.1), PRPSAP1 (AAH09012.1), and PRPSAP2 (NP_001340030.1). The significant sequence conservation between PRPS and PRPSAP indicates the potential for heteromeric associations.

A circle with lines inside indicates that the proteins may be forming a trimer or tetramer. j) Association of different PRPS complex configurations with cellular fitness. (I) PRPS1 alone undergoes self-assembly to form homo-oligomers. (II) PRPS1 and AP1 cannot interact directly and form separate homo-oligomers. (III) PRPS2 binds PRPS1 to form a dimer and disrupts PRPS1 homotypic assemblies. (IV) AP2 preferentially binds with PRPS1 to form a trimer/tetramer to nucleate the complex. (V) AP1 preferentially binds with AP2 and PRPS2 to elongate the PRPS complex via its N-terminus. (VI) The longer isoform of AP1 with flexible N-terminal extension likely caps the complex. The weight of the connectors between the circles representing proteins reflects the predicted strength of protein-protein interactions between them. The heavier the line, the stronger the predicted interaction between the members of the complex.

All the fractionation experiments were performed on Superose 6 Increase 3.2/300 column. The circular pictograms at the bottom of the SEC immunoblots illustrate the different configurations of the PRPS complex. A double circle means multiple copies of the protein are interacting within the heteromeric complex. A double circle with a dotted inner circle means multiple copies of the protein are forming homo-oligomers. A single circle means a single protein is interacting within the complex. A circle with lines inside indicates that the proteins may be forming a trimer or tetramer.

The numbers below the logo sequences indicate the corresponding residues positions of human PRPS1 and PRPSAP2 (for Opisthokonts), R. potamoides PrsA and PrsB (for Amoebozoa), human PRPSAP1 (for jawed Vertebrata), and A. parasiticum Class II PRPS annotated from SRX179384. X represents the absent amino acid residue at that position jawed Vertebrata AP1. Class II PRPS enzymes are shown as a reference since they are known to lack allosteric sites found in Class I PRPS (“classical” PRPS enzymes) . c) The structure of dimeric human PRPS1 (PDB ID: 2HCR). The dashed box represents the allosteric site II, a zoom in of this site shows SO positioned at the dimer interface and red color indicates the residues from each subunit contributing to the formation of allosteric site II. d) The amino acid sequence of the human PRPS1 was aligned with sequences from Opisthokonta PRPS1, Amoebozoa PrsA, Opisthokonta PRPSAP2, jawed Vertebrata PRPSAP1, Amoebozoa PrsB and Class II PRPS, and the corresponding allosteric site II residues were selected for generating the WebLogo similar to (b).
