The production of high-quality crystals is the main bottleneck in determining the structures of proteins using X-ray crystallography. In addition to being recognized as a very effective solubility-enhancing fusion partner, Escherichia coli maltose-binding protein (MBP) has also been successfully employed as a `fixed-arm' crystallization chaperone in more than 100 cases. Here, it is reported that designed ankyrin-repeat proteins (DARPins) that bind with high affinity to MBP can promote the crystallization of an MBP fusion protein when the fusion protein alone fails to produce diffraction-quality crystals. As a proof of principle, three different structures of MBP fused to the of human dual-specificity phosphatase 1 in complex with DARPins are reported.

1. Introduction
X-ray crystallography continues to be an invaluable tool for determining protein structures at high resolution. X-ray et al., 2000). However, the major impediment to this technique remains the production of high-quality diffracting crystals. To overcome this problem, a variety of `rescue' strategies such as single-point mutations, the deletion of disordered regions by limited proteolysis, surface-entropy-reduction (SER) mutagenesis, mutagenesis to remove posttranslational modifications, the generation of individual domains out of larger proteins, crystallization with binding partners (or ligands), reductive methylation and crystallization of fusion proteins have been employed in efforts to obtain crystals of recalcitrant proteins (Dale et al., 2003; Ruggiero et al., 2012; Cooper et al., 2007; Bell et al., 2013; Longenecker et al., 2001). However, owing to the stochastic nature of crystallization experiments, there remains a persistent demand for technological advances in the field of protein crystallization.
has become extremely automated and fast owing to continuous technical improvements in molecular biology, protein production and computational tools (AbolaEscherichia coli maltose-binding protein (MBP) is frequently used as a `fixed-arm' crystallization chaperone, and crystal structures of many MBP fusion proteins can be found in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) (Waugh, 2016). The differing conformations of MBP in the presence and absence of maltose further expand the crystallization space that can be sampled with MBP fusion proteins. Additionally, surface-entropy-reduction mutations have been introduced into MBP to facilitate the crystallization of MBP fusion proteins (Moon et al., 2010; Jin et al., 2017). Even so, like other rescue strategies, efforts to crystallize MBP fusion proteins fail more often than not.
Dual-specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1), also known as MAP kinase phosphatase 1 (MKP-1), is composed of a kinase-binding domain (KBD) and a et al., 2001), until recently the structure of neither its KBD nor its CD had been determined. Extensive efforts on our part to crystallize the DUSP1 CD alone or as a fusion protein with MBP were unsuccessful. However, well diffracting crystals of the MBP-DUSP1 CD fusion protein in complex with the monobody YSX1 (Gilbreth et al., 2008) that binds with high affinity to MBP were readily obtained (Gumpena et al., 2018). Designed ankyrin-repeat proteins (DARPins) that bind with high affinity to MBP have also been described (Binz et al., 2004). To investigate whether these MBP-specific DARPins can also help to promote the crystallization of MBP fusion proteins, we tested the two MBP-specific DARPins off7 and mbp3_16 (DARPin 16) in concert with MBP fused to catalytically inactive DUSP1 CD (Cys258Ser). DARPin off7 has three (N3C) and DARPin 16 has two (N2C) designed ankyrin repeats inserted between the same N- and C-terminal capping repeats. Each designed repeat contains randomized residues that interact with MBP along with defined and random framework residues. Although DARPin off7 has previously been crystallized in complex with MBP, until now no information has been available on how DARPin 16 binds to this target.

2.1. Cloning, expression and purification
Construction of the MBP-DUSP1 CD (Cys258Ser) fusion protein has been described previously (Gumpena et al., 2018). Plasmids encoding DARPin off7 and DARPin 16 were a gift from Professor Andreas Plückthun's laboratory (Binz et al., 2004). The open reading frames encoding the DARPins with N-terminal His6 tags were amplified by (PCR) with primers PE-2888 and PE-2889 (Table 1). The resulting PCR amplicons were digested with NdeI and XhoI (New England BioLabs, Ipswich, Massachusetts, USA) and inserted between these sites in the pET-30a vector (MilliporeSigma, Burlington, Massachusetts, USA). The nucleotide sequences were verified experimentally.

The two DARPins and the MBP-DUSP1 CD (Cys258Ser) fusion protein were expressed in E. coli strain BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RIL (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, California, USA). Cultures were grown to mid-log phase (OD600 = 0.4–0.6) at 37°C in Luria broth supplemented with 100 µg ml−1 ampicillin, 30 µg ml−1 chloramphenicol and 0.2% glucose to produce the MBP-DUSP1 CD fusion protein, while 35 µg ml−1 kanamycin was used instead of ampicillin to produce the DARPins. Proteins were induced with isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) at a concentration of 1 mM for 4 h at 37°C and 250 rev min−1. The cells were harvested by centrifugation and stored at −80°C until further use.
Protein purification was carried out at 4°C using a Bio-Rad NGC et al., 2018). To prepare complexes of the DARPins with the maltose-bound form of MBP (in its `closed' conformation), D-(+)-maltose monohydrate (maltose) solution was added to the purified MBP fusion protein–DARPin complexes at a final concentration of 1 mM.
System with pre-packed columns (GE Healthcare Biosciences, Marlborough, Massachusetts, USA) as described previously (Gumpena2.2. Crystallization and data collection
Complexes of MBP-DUSP1 CD with DARPin off7 (31 mg ml−1) and DARPin 16 (27 mg ml−1) in the presence and absence of maltose were screened for initial crystallization conditions at 19°C using a Griffin crystallization robot (Art Robbins Instruments, Sunnyvale, California, USA) and commercially available screens. Crystals suitable for data collection were obtained after further optimization of the initial hits in a grid screen using a 15-well EasyXtal Tool (Qiagen, Germantown, Maryland, USA). Crystallization conditions and cryosolutions are summarized in Table 2. For the complex of DARPin off7 with MBP-DUSP1 CD, the drop consisted of a 1:2 ratio of protein:well solution. A 1:1 protein:well solution ratio was used for the complexes of DARPin 16 with MBP-DUSP1 CD. Single crystals were retrieved, cryoprotected and immediately flash-cooled in liquid nitrogen.

Native X-ray diffraction data were collected for the MBP-DUSP1 CD–DARPin 16 complexes (with and without bound maltose) at −173°C using a MAR345 detector mounted on a Rigaku MicroMax-007 HF high-intensity microfocus generator equipped with VariMax HF optics (Rigaku Corporation, The Woodlands, Texas, USA) and operated at 40 kV and 30 mA. For the MBP-DUSP1 CD–DARPin off7 complex, the data were collected remotely on SER-CAT beamline 22-BM at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory using a MAR 225 CCD detector. The data were integrated and scaled with HKL-3000 (Minor et al., 2006). Data-collection statistics are reported in Table 3.

2.3. Structure solution and refinement
All structures were solved by Phaser from the CCP4 suite (McCoy et al., 2007). Among the three complexes reported here, the structure of the DARPin off7 complex was solved first. A search model containing an ensemble of the following coordinates was employed as implemented in Phaser: MBP (from PDB entry 3h4z; Mueller et al., 2010), DUSP4 CD (PDB entry 3ezz; Jeong et al., 2009) and DARPin off7 (from PDB entry 1svx; Binz et al., 2004). To solve the structure of DARPin 16 in complex with the open form of the MBP-DUSP1 CD fusion protein, the coordinates of MBP (from PDB entry 3h4z) and those of the DUSP1 CD and DARPin off7 complex from the previously determined structure were employed as search models. However, DARPin off7 is a three-repeat module (N3C), whereas DARPin 16 is a two-repeat module (N2C). Therefore, the extra repeat in DARPin off7 was deleted during the preparation of coordinates for To solve the structure of DARPin 16 in complex with the closed (maltose-bound) form of the MBP-DUSP1 CD fusion protein, three ensembles were employed: those of the closed conformation of MBP (from PDB entry 3mp6; Bian et al., 2011), along with those of the DUSP1 CD and those of DARPin 16, respectively, from the structure of the open form of MBP-DUSP1 CD in complex with DARPin 16. The models were rebuilt manually using Coot (Emsley & Cowtan, 2004) and refined with phenix.refine in the PHENIX software suite (Afonine et al., 2012). Model validation was performed with MolProbity (Chen et al., 2010). Ramachandran plots were prepared with PROCHECK (Laskowski et al., 1993). Details of structure solution and are summarized in Table 4. Representative electron density in the vicinity of the DUSP1 CD active site from the MBP-DUSP1 CD–DARPin 16 structure in the absence of maltose is shown in Supplementary Fig. S1.

2.4. Analysis of the structures
All alignments of experimental structures to calculate r.m.s.d. values were performed in PyMOL (v.1.8; Schrödinger). Figures were also prepared with PyMOL. The interface areas were calculated with the PDBePISA server (Krissinel & Henrick, 2007) and the interfaces were further analyzed with LigPlot+ (Laskowski & Swindells, 2011).
3. Results
3.1. DARPins off7 and 16 facilitate crystallization of the MBP-DUSP1 CD fusion protein
The maltose-free or `open' form of the MBP-DUSP1 CD fusion protein was crystallized in complex with DARPin off7, while both the maltose-free and maltose-bound or `closed' forms of the fusion protein were crystallized in complex with DARPin 16, yielding a total of three different crystal structures. Multiple `hits' were obtained from commercial crystal screens for all three samples. The crystals of the DARPin 16 complexes contain one heterodimer per ), along with the previously reported complex with the monobody (PDB entry 6apx), represent five crystallographically independent copies of the DUSP1 CD. When the Cα coordinates of the DUSP1 CD molecules in the three crystal forms reported here are superimposed with those of the DUSP1 CD in PDB entry 6apx, the root-mean-square deviation (r.m.s.d.) among the aligned structures varies between 0.26 and 0.32 Å, which is within the limit of the coordinate error for the resolution at which the structures were solved. This indicates that the presence of MBP and the MBP-binding proteins in the did not distort the structure of the DUSP1 CD.
in both crystal forms, whereas the crystals of MBP-DUSP1 CD in complex with DARPin off7 contain two heterodimers per that are related by twofold The three crystal forms reported in this work (Table 1In each of the structures, interactions between different molecular entities (MBP, the DUSP1 CD and the MBP-binding protein) exist and are integral components of the crystal lattices. However, the crystal-packing interactions are different in each structure and there are no noteworthy similarities between them, except that the DARPins exhibit a tendency to contact adjacent DUSP1 CD molecules via their N- and C-terminal caps (Supplementary Table S1). It is not possible to predict, therefore, which MBP-binding protein will be the most effective at promoting the crystallization of a particular MBP fusion protein. Instead, this must be determined empirically. Nevertheless, the fact that it was possible to obtain several different structures of an MBP fusion protein that was recalcitrant to crystallization by using this approach validates its utility.
The structures of the three MBP-DUSP1 CD–DARPin complexes are shown in Figs. 1(a), 1(b) and 1(c), with the MBP entities viewed from the same perspective. Relative to the conformation of MBP, the orientation of the DUSP1 CD in the DARPin off7 complex is very different to that in the DARPin 16 complexes. Interestingly, the two DARPin 16 complexes (in the presence and absence of maltose) align remarkably well (Fig. 1d). The main difference between them is a shift in the position of one lobe of the MBP structure that is triggered by the binding of maltose. The crystal packing of the two DARPin 16 complexes is not the same however (Fig. 1e).
3.2. Potential impact of surface-entropy-reduction mutations in MBP
The MBP employed in this study has several surface-entropy-reduction mutations (Asp82Ala/Lys83Ala/Glu172Ala/Asn173Ala/Lys239Ala) that are designed to facilitate the crystallization of MBP fusion proteins (Moon et al., 2010). None of these mutations overlap with the binding sites for DARPins off7 or 16. In all of the structures reported here at least one of the SER mutations mentioned above is involved in crystal contacts (Supplementary Table S2) with the neighboring molecules. Crystal contacts are 4.4 Å apart or closer (Carugo & Argos, 1997). In the MBP-DUSP1 CD–DARPin off7 complex, the side chain of Ala83 in MBP is projected into the hydrophobic pocket formed by Asn124, Pro126, Glu131 and Leu135 in a symmetry-related MBP. The presence of a much larger and charged lysine side chain in the place of Ala83, as exists in wild-type MBP, would have negatively influenced the crystal packing. Hence, it is possible that, along with the DARPins, the surface-entropy-reduction mutations helped to promote crystallization of the protein complexes.
3.3. DARPins 16 and off7 bind to the same site on the surface of MBP in a remarkably similar manner
Although the interaction between DARPin off7 and MBP has been described in detail (Binz et al., 2004), until now it had been unknown where and how DARPin 16 binds to MBP. The crystal structures described in this report reveal that the binding sites for the two DARPins overlap extensively. Not only that, but the key residues that comprise the core of the binding paratopes on the two DARPins are identical. Remarkably, however, these conserved residues do not align with one another in the amino-acid sequences of DARPins off7 and 16 (Fig. 2a) and so their equivalence originally went unrecognized. Both DARPins have the same N- and C-terminal capping repeats, but DARPin 16 has only two designed repeats whereas off7 has three (Figs. 2a and 2b). However, when the structure of the DARPin off7–MBP complex (PDB entry 1svx) is superimposed with the coordinates of DARPin 16 bound to MBP, the structural alignment juxtaposes the two DARPins in such a manner that the N-terminal capping repeat of off7 has no counterpart in DARPin 16 (Fig. 2b). As shown in Figs. 2(a) and 2(c), even though they originate from different locations in their respective amino-acid sequences, the six key MBP-binding residues in the two DARPins occupy virtually the same spatial positions. The interactions between these six key residues and MBP are predominantly hydrophobic in nature. There are additional interactions between each DARPin and MBP that are unique. A complete list of interacting residues is provided in Supplementary Tables S3 and S4.
4. Discussion
The remarkable ability of MBP to enhance the solubility of its fusion partners and promote their crystallization has been well documented (Waugh, 2016). However, despite considerable effort it was not possible to obtain crystals of an MBP-DUSP1 CD fusion protein constructed for this purpose. We therefore decided to explore the potential utility of high-affinity MBP-binding proteins as co-crystallization `chaperones' for MBP-DUSP1 CD. Remarkably, we readily obtained co-crystals of the MBP-DUSP1 CD fusion protein with the two different MBP-binding DARPins described here as well as with an MBP-binding monobody as described previously (Gumpena et al., 2018). Complexes of the fusion protein with DARPin 16 crystallized in both the absence and presence of maltose, yielding a total of four unique structures at moderate resolution (2.2–2.5 Å). The DUSP fold is virtually identical in all of the structures of the DUSP1 CD, indicating that the presence of MBP and the MBP-binding proteins did not distort its structure.
In the work described here, the components of the DARPin–MBP-DUSP1 CD complexes were expressed separately and the lysates were mixed to form the complexes prior to purification. However, the routine use of MBP-binding co-crystallization chaperones would probably be facilitated by purifying a large quantity of the His-tagged DARPins (or monobody) and storing them for future use. Each new MBP fusion protein, following its purification, could then be mixed with a molar excess of the much smaller MBP-binding proteins and the complexes separated from the excess DARPins or monobody by size-exclusion chromatography.
The structure of MBP-DUSP1 CD in complex with DARPin 16 reveals for the first time how this DARPin interacts with MBP. Surprisingly, even though the amino acids in the designed regions of DARPin 16 and off7 appear to be dissimilar when their sequences are aligned, the two molecules bind to the same site on MBP and adopt remarkably similar poses. A structural alignment of the two DARPin–MBP complexes reveals six conserved residues that emanate from different locations in the amino-acid sequences of the DARPins yet occupy the same spatial positions at the interface with MBP. Hence, this binding paratope, which is primarily hydrophobic in nature, was obtained in two separate directed evolution experiments with DARPin scaffolds having two and three designed repeats, respectively (Binz et al., 2004).
Finally, we note that MBP fusion proteins have been used not only as tools to solve unknown structures but also to generate alternative crystal forms of a protein that may be more amenable to crystallographic fragment screening and structure-based drug design (Clifton et al., 2015). The utilization of MBP-binding proteins as co-crystallization chaperones may have similar benefits. For example, the presence of a highly conserved active-site architecture in the DUSP family poses challenges for the development of specific inhibitors targeting their active sites alone (Bakan et al., 2008). In a recent survey of DUSP structures, it was proposed that it may be possible to develop specific inhibitors of DUSP family members by exploiting the small variable surface features in the vicinity of their active sites (Jeong et al., 2014). One such variable region in the DUSP1 CD that is located in close proximity to its active site is helix α1, which is formed by Ala186, Tyr187, His188, Ala189 and Ser190 (Fig. 3a). In the of MBP-DUSP1 CD with DARPin off7, helix α1 is positioned at the edge of a solvent channel with an inner diameter of approximately 21 Å and is readily accessible to small molecules, as is the active site (Fig. 3b). On the other hand, in the crystal structures of the MBP-DUSP1 CD in complex with DARPin 16, helix α1 residues are occluded by a crystal contact with a neighboring molecule, rendering these crystal forms less advantageous for crystallographic fragment screening.
5. Conclusions
Owing to its stochastic nature, there is a persistent demand for technological advances in the field of protein crystallization. For example, MBP has frequently been exploited to promote the crystallization of its fusion partners. However, despite considerable effort, we could not obtain crystals of an MBP-DUSP1 CD fusion protein by itself. For the first time, we have demonstrated that high-affinity MBP-binding DARPins can be employed to facilitate the crystallization of an MBP fusion protein. As proof of principle, we determined three different crystal structures of the MBP-DUSP1 CD fusion protein in complex with two different DARPins, one of which also included bound maltose. We propose that the DARPin technology reported here can generally improve the probability of obtaining crystals of an MBP fusion protein.
