OmpC-like porin was isolated from the outer membrane (OM) of Yersinia enterocolitica cultured at 37°C (the “warm” variant) and its physicochemical and functional properties were studied. The amino acid sequence of OmpC porin was established, and the primary structure and transmembrane topology of this protein were analyzed in comparison with the OmpF porin isolated from Y. enterocolitica cultured at 6°C (the “cold” variant). Both porins of Y. enterocolitica had a high homology degree (65%) between themselves and with OmpC and OmpF porins from OM of Escherichia coli (58 and 76% homology, respectively). The secondary structure of OmpC and OmpF porins from OM of Y. enterocolitica consists of 16 β-strands connected by short “periplasmic” and longer “extracellular” loops with disordered structure, according to the topological model developed for porins of E. coli. The molecular structures of OmpC and OmpF porins of Y. enterocolitica have significant differences in the structure of the “extracellular” loops and in the position of one of three tryptophan residues. Using the bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) technique, pores formed by OmpC porin of Y. enterocolitica were shown to differ in electrophysiological characteristics from channels of OmpF protein of this microorganism. The isolated OmpC porin reconstructed into BLM displayed functional plasticity similarly to OmpF protein and nonspecific porins of other enterobacteria. The conductivity level of the channels formed by this protein in the BLM was regulated by value of the applied potential. 相似文献

The encoding sequence of the pore-forming OmpF-like protein from the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis outer membrane was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli cells. Conditions for isolation and refolding of recombinant monomer and porin trimer were selected. Their spatial structures were characterized by the intrinsic protein fluorescence and CD spectroscopy. It was shown that recombinant porins are similar in the composition of secondary structure elements to isolated porins, but have a considerably less compact tertiary structure. The pore-forming activities of the recombinant proteins are similar to those of Y. pseudotuberculosis native porins. 相似文献

The spatial organization of outer-membrane porins is studied by optical spectroscopy and molecular modeling. It was found that the OmpF and OmpC porins from Yеrsiniа ruckeri are β-structured membrane proteins typical of the pore-forming proteins of other Gram-negative bacteria. The spatial structures of monomers and trimers of the OmpC and OmpF porins from Y. ruckeri are simulated using methods of structural bioinformatics. It was found that the structural stability of the more thermostable OmpF trimer is sustained by a greater number of hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions. The main differences of the spatial structures of the test porins are observed in the structure of their outer loops. There are three tryptophan residues in the molecules of the OmpC and OmpF porins of Y. ruckeri. It is demonstrated by moleculardynamics methods that after thermal denaturation the solvent accessibility of the Trp212 residue in OmpF porin increased by two times, while the solvent accessibility of a Trp184 residue in OmpC porin was not increased. It is hypothesized that the red-shifted tryptophan fluorescence spectrum of OmpF porin during thermal denaturation is due to the behavior of the Trp212 residue. 相似文献

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis outer membrane (OM) recombinant mutant OmpF porins with deletions of the external loops L1, L6 and L8 were obtained using
site-directed mutagenesis of the recombinant plasmid including ompF gene. Heterologeous expression of the mutant proteins
was carried out in strain Rosetta of Escherichia coli (Novagen, USA), porins with the deletions were isolated from the inclusion bodies. Oligomers of mutant porins were obtained
as result of dialysis and ion-exchange chromatography. Spatial structure of the mutant proteins was found to have special
features in comparison with that of the full-structured OmpF porin on the level of both secondary and tertiary structure.
As shown using bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) technique the absence of the loops L1, L6 and L8 didn’t affect the conductivity
level of Y. pseudotuberculosis porin channel. The absence of the loops mentioned above has a significant influence on the antigenic structure of the mutant
porins as demonstrated using immunoblotting technique and ELISA. 相似文献

The polypeptide profile of the porin protein fraction of Yersinia ruckeri, a Gram-negative bacterium causing yersiniosis in fish, has been shown to depend on cultivation temperature. OmpF-like porins are expressed mainly in the outer membrane (OM) of the “cold” variant (4°C) of the microorganism and OmpC-like proteins are expressed in the OM of the “warm” variant (37°C). Both types of porins are present in the OM of Y. ruckeri at room temperature. The OmpF-like porin of the “cold” variant was isolated and characterized. The molecular weight and primary structure of the protein were determined. The methods of optical spectroscopy (circular dichroism and intrinsic protein fluorescence) have shown that the protein has a spatial structure typical of β-structured porins from the OM of Gram-negative bacteria. The functional activity of isolated protein was characterized by the bilayer lipid membrane (BLM) technique. The most probable level of channel conductivity was 320 ± 60 pS, corresponding to the channel conductivity of OmpF porins of the genus Yersinia. The distinctive feature of OmpF porin from Y. ruckeri is high thermostability of its functionally active conformation: the protein forms stable pores in the BLM even after heating to 85°C. 相似文献

Recombinant mutant OmpF porins from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis outer membrane were obtained using site-directed mutagenesis. Here we used four OmpF mutants where single extracellular loops L1, L4, L6, and L8 were deleted one at a time. The proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli at levels comparable to full-sized recombinant OmpF porin and isolated from the inclusion bodies. Purified trimers of the mutant porins were obtained after dialysis and consequent ion-exchange chromatography. Changes in molecular and spatial structure of the mutants obtained were studied using SDS–PAGE and optical spectroscopy (circular dichroism and intrinsic protein fluorescence). Secondary and tertiary structure of the mutant proteins was found to have some features in comparison with that of the full-sized recombinant OmpF. As shown by bilayer lipid membrane technique, the pore-forming activity of purified mutant porins was identical to OmpF porin isolated from the bacterial outer membrane. Lacking of the external loops mentioned above influenced significantly upon the antigenic structure of the porin as demonstrated using ELISA. 相似文献

Integral membrane proteins known as porins are the major pathway by which hydrophilic antibiotics cross the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Single point mutations in porins can decrease the permeability of an antibiotic, either by reduction of channel size or modification of electrostatics in the channel, and thereby confer clinical resistance. Here, we investigate four mutant OmpC proteins from four different clinical isolates of Escherichia coli obtained sequentially from a single patient during a course of antimicrobial chemotherapy. OmpC porin from the first isolate (OmpC20) undergoes three consecutive and additive substitutions giving rise to OmpC26, OmpC28, and finally OmpC33. The permeability of two zwitterionic carbapenems, imipenem and meropenem, measured using liposome permeation assays and single channel electrophysiology differs significantly between OmpC20 and OmpC33. Molecular dynamic simulations show that the antibiotics must pass through the constriction zone of porins with a specific orientation, where the antibiotic dipole is aligned along the electric field inside the porin. We identify that changes in the vector of the electric field in the mutated porin, OmpC33, create an additional barrier by “trapping” the antibiotic in an unfavorable orientation in the constriction zone that suffers steric hindrance for the reorientation needed for its onward translocation. Identification and understanding the underlying molecular details of such a barrier to translocation will aid in the design of new antibiotics with improved permeation properties in Gram-negative bacteria. 相似文献

Porins are integral proteins of the outer membranes of gram-negative bacteria. In membranes, they exist as homotrimers and the L2 loops contribute to their stability. Comparison of OmpC porins of the Yersinia pseudotuberculosis complex with other enterobacterial porins demonstrated L2 loop length diversity, which is caused by varying numbers of dipeptide/tripeptide repeats. The OmpC porins are highly homologous to each other, and they can be subdivided into five isoforms based on their L2 loop structure. Optical spectroscopy and SDS-PAGE experiments revealed that particularities of the L2 loops affected the structure and thermal stability of the porins. Thermal denaturation studies showed that porins with shorter loops, compared to porins with longer loops, had more stable tertiary and less stable secondary and quaternary structures. According to our comparative modeling results, the L2 loops differ in their structure by adopting different spatial positions and forming different polar bonds with a neighbor monomer. The replacement of asparagine with arginine at the C-terminus of the L2 loop shifts the loop upwards and causes the loss of contacts with the arginine clusters within the pores. The increase in the length of these loops ensures that they shift down toward the pore and restore their contacts with arginines on the channel wall, as is the case in classical nonspecific porins. Despite the fact that the surface charge density varies considerably among the OmpC porins, the L2 loops form a typical negatively charged region in the center of the trimer. 相似文献

OmpC and OmpF, outer membrane porin proteins, are important in the maintenance of the cell surface structure of Escherichia coli cells [T. Nogami and S. Mizushima, J. Bacteriol., 156, 402 (1983)]. Mutants lacking both proteins are unstable and frequently revert or mutate to strains which either have regained one or both of the proteins or constitutively produce PhoE, another porin protein. In the present work, the structural importance of PhoE was studied in relation to OmpC. and OmpF. The strain devoid of both OmpC and OmpF was highly susceptible to Tris-HCl buffer at a concentration of 120 mm in terms of viability and cell structure. This strain was also susceptible to osmotic shock. In contrast, the strain possessing PhoE in place of OmpC/OmpF was as stable as the strain possessing OmpC/OmpF against these treatments. PhoE, like OmpC and OmpF, was assembled into a hexagonal lattice with lipopolysaccharide that covered the peptidoglycan sacculus. These results suggest that PhoE can take the place of OmpC/OmpF in the maintenance of the cell surface structure. The importance of porins in general in the maintenance of the cell structure is discussed. 相似文献

Combination of an origin repair mutagenesis system with a new mutS host strain increased the efficiency of mutagenesis from 46% to 75% mutant clones. Overexpression with the T7 expression system afforded large quantities of proteins from mutant strains. A series of E. coli BE host strains devoid of major outer membrane proteins was constructed, facilitating the purification of mutant porins to homogeneity. This allowed preparation of 149 porin mutants in E. coli used in detailed explorations of the structure and function of this membrane protein to high resolution. 相似文献

The recombinant OmpF porin of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis as a model of transmembrane protein of the β-barrel structural family was used to study low growth temperature effect on the structure of the produced inclusion bodies (IBs). This porin showed a very low expression level in E. coli at a growth temperature below optimal 37 °C. The introduction of a N-terminal hexahistidine tag into the mature porin molecule significantly increased the biosynthesis of the protein at low cultivation temperatures. The recombinant His-tagged porin (rOmpF-His) was expressed in E. coli at 30 and 18 °C as inclusion bodies (IB-30 and IB-18). The properties and structural organization of IBs, as well as the structure of rOmpF-His solubilized from the IBs with urea and SDS, were studied using turbidimetry, electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, optical spectroscopy, and amyloid-specific dyes. IB-18, in comparison with IB-30, has a higher solubility in denaturants, suggesting a difference between IBs in the conformation of the associated polypeptide chains. The spectroscopic analysis revealed that rOmpF-His IBs have a high content of secondary structure with a tertiary-structure elements, including a native-like conformation, the proportion of which in IB-18 is higher than in IB-30. Solubilization of the porin from IBs is accompanied by a modification of its secondary structure. The studied IBs also contain amyloid-like structures. The results obtained in this study expand our knowledge of the structural organization of IBs formed by proteins of different structural classes and also have a contribution into the new approaches development of producing functionally active recombinant membrane proteins. 相似文献

In the standard method of transformation of Escherichia coli with extraneous DNA, cells are made competent for DNA uptake by incubating in ice-cold 100?mM CaCl2. Analysis of the whole protein profile of CaCl2-treated E. coli cells by the techniques of one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, MALDI-MS and immunoprecipitation revealed overproduction of outer membrane proteins OmpC, OmpA and heat-shock protein GroEL. In parity, transformation efficiency of E. coli ompC mutant by plasmid pUC19 DNA was found to be about 40?% lower than that of the wild type strain. Moreover, in E. coli cells containing groEL-bearing plasmid, induction of GroEL caused simultaneous overproduction of OmpC. On the other hand, less OmpC was synthesized in E. coli groEL mutant compared to its wild type counterpart, by CaCl2-shock. From these results it can be suggested that in the process of CaCl2-mediated generation of competence, the heat-shock chaperone GroEL has specific role in DNA entry into the cell, possibly through the overproduced OmpC and OmpA porins. 相似文献

The purpose of the study was to compare the expression of two Yersinia pseudotuberculosis proteins, wild-type porin OmpY and the mutant porin OmpY designated as OmpY-Q having the uncharged amino acid residue Gln instead of positively charged Arg at the penultimate position in the same heterologous host. According to the literature, a similar substitution (Lys to Gln) of the penultimate amino acid residue in Neisseria meningitidis porin PorA drastically improved the assembly of the protein in the E. coli outer membrane in vivo. Site-directed mutagenesis was used to replace Arg by Gln (R338Q) in OmpY, and the conditions for optimal expression and maturation of OmpY-Q were selected. It was found that the growth rates of E. coli strains producing OmpY and OmpY-Q and the expression levels of the porins were approximately equal. Comparative analysis of recombinant OmpY and OmpY-Q did not show significant differences in structure, antigenic, and functional properties of the porins, or any noticeable effect of the R338Q substitution in OmpY on its assembly in the E. coli outer membrane in vivo. The probable causes of discrepancies between our results and the previous data on porin PorA are discussed considering the known mechanisms of biogenesis of porins at the periplasmic stage. 相似文献

A novel porin, OmpG, is produced in response to a chromosomal mutation termed cog-192. Molecular characterization of cog-192 revealed that it is a large chromosomal deletion extending from the 3′ end of pspA through to the 5′ end of an open reading frame located immediately upstream of ompG. As a result of this 13.1-kb deletion, the expression of ompG was placed under the control of the pspA promoter. Characterization of OmpG revealed that it is quite different from other porins. Proteoliposome swelling assays showed that OmpG channels were much larger than those of the OmpF and OmpC porins, with an estimated limited diameter of about 2 nm. The channel lacked any obvious solute specificity. The folding model of OmpG suggests that it is the first 16-stranded β-barrel porin that lacks the large external loop, L3, which constricts the channels of other nonspecific and specific porins. Consistent with the folding model, circular dichroism showed that OmpG contains largely a β-sheet structure. In contrast to other Escherichia coli porins, there is no evidence that OmpG exists as stable oligomers. Although ompG DNA was present in all E. coli strains examined so far, its expression under laboratory conditions was seen only due to rare chromosomal mutations. Curiously, OmpG was constitutively expressed, albeit at low levels, in Salmonella, Shigella, and Pseudomonas species. 相似文献

The immunogenic effect of Salmonella typhi OmpC porin during typhoid fever in humans was evaluated in vitro. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 17 patients were challenged with outer membrane preparations from Escherichia coli UH302 and UH302/pSTP2K2 strains, both lacking E. coli OmpF and OmpC porins, although UH302/pSTP2K2 expressed a plasmid-encoded S. typhi Ty2 OmpC. The mononuclear cell supernatants, immunized in vitro with OmpC antigen, derived from 10 out of 17 patients activated U937 bactericidal capacity. In contrast, the supernatants from the immunization with outer membrane preparation lacking S. typhi Ty2 OmpC induced a significantly reduced bactericidal capacity of U937 cells. This procedure should prove useful for in vitro characterization of cellular immunogens from exclusive human pathogens. 相似文献

General-diffusion porins form large β-barrel channels that control the permeability of the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria to nutrients, some antibiotics, and external signals. Here, we have analyzed the effects of mutations in the OmpU porin of Vibrio cholerae at conserved residues that are known to affect pore properties in the Escherichia coli porins OmpF and OmpC. Various phenotypes were investigated, including sensitivity to β-lactam antibiotics, growth on large sugars, and sensitivity to and biofilm induction by sodium deoxycholate, a major bile component that acts as an external signal for multiple cellular responses of this intestinal pathogen. Overall, our results indicate that specific residues play different roles in controlling the passage of various compounds. Mutations of barrel wall arginine residues that protrude in the pore affect pore size and growth in the presence of large sugars or sodium deoxycholate. Sensitivity to large cephalosporins is mostly affected by D116, located on the L3 loop, whose homolog in E. coli, OmpF, is a known binding determinant for these drugs. L3 loop residues also affect biofilm induction. The results are interpreted in terms of a homology model based on the structures of E. coli porins. 相似文献

The Yersinia pestis adhesin Ail mediates host cell binding and facilitates delivery of cytotoxic Yop proteins. Ail from Y. pestis and Y. pseudotuberculosis is identical except for one or two amino acids at positions 43 and 126 depending on the Y. pseudotuberculosis strain. Ail from Y. pseudotuberculosis strain YPIII has been reported to lack host cell binding ability, thus we sought to determine which amino acid difference(s) are responsible for the difference in cell adhesion. Y. pseudotuberculosis YPIII Ail expressed in Escherichia coli bound host cells, albeit at ∼50% the capacity of Y. pestis Ail. Y. pestis Ail single mutants, Ail-E43D and Ail-F126V, both have decreased adhesion and invasion in E. coli when compared to wild-type Y. pestis Ail. Y. pseudotuberculosis YPIII Ail also had decreased binding to the Ail substrate fibronectin, relative to Y. pestis Ail in E. coli. When expressed in Y. pestis, there was a 30–50% decrease in adhesion and invasion depending on the substitution. Ail-mediated Yop delivery by both Y. pestis Ail and Y. pseudotuberculosis Ail were similar when expressed in Y. pestis, with only Ail-F126V giving a statistically significant reduction in Yop delivery of 25%. In contrast to results in E. coli and Y. pestis, expression of Ail in Y. pseudotuberculosis led to no measurable adhesion or invasion, suggesting the longer LPS of Y. pseudotuberculosis interferes with Ail cell-binding activity. Thus, host context affects the binding activities of Ail and both Y. pestis and Y. pseudotuberculosis Ail can mediate cell binding, cell invasion and facilitate Yop delivery. 相似文献

The permeability of the outer membrane of Escherichia coli to hydrophilic compounds is controlled by porin channels. Electrophysiological experiments showed that polyamines inhibit ionic flux through cationic porins when applied to either side of the membrane. Externally added polyamines, such as cadaverine, decrease porin-mediated fluxes of β-lactam antibiotics in live cells. Here we tested the effects of endogenously expressed cadaverine on the rate of permeation of cephaloridine through porins, by manipulating in a pH-independent way the expression of the cadBA operon, which encodes proteins involved in the decarboxylation of lysine to cadaverine and in cadaverine excretion. We report that increased levels of excreted cadaverine correlate with a decreased outer membrane permeability to cephaloridine, without any change in porin expression. Cadaverine appears to promote a sustained inhibition of porins, since the effect remains even after removal of the exogenously added or excreted polyamine. The cadaverine-induced inhibition is sufficient to provide cells with some resistance to ampicillin but not to hydrophobic antibiotics. Finally, the mere expression of cadC, in the absence of cadaverine production, leads to a reduction in the amounts of OmpF and OmpC proteins, which suggests a novel mechanism for the environmental control of porin expression. The results presented here support the notion that polyamines can act as endogenous modulators of outer membrane permeability, possibly as part of an adaptive response to acidic conditions. 相似文献

The epsilon-amino groups of available lysine residues of the OmpC, OmpF and PhoE porin proteins of Escherichia coli and of the protein P porin of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, were modified by the bulky reagent trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid. Approximately 78% of the lysines of the anion-selective protein P and PhoE porins were modified whereas only 40-50% of the lysines of the cation selective OmpF and OmpC porins were altered. After modification, the three E. coli porins had very similar high selectivities for cations over anions, in contrast to the native porins which varied 86-fold in ion selectivity. Despite the large size of the trinitrophenyl group attached to modified lysines (i.e., a disc of approx. 0.86 nm diameter X 0.36 nm high) relative to the reported size of the constrictions of the E. coli porins (1.0-1.2 nm diameter), only the anion-selective PhoE porin was substantially blocked after trinitrophenylation. The protein P porin channel was relatively unaffected by trinitrophenylation, in contrast to previous data showing dramatic effects of acetylation of lysines on protein P conductance and selectivity. This favoured a model in which the critical lysines involved in anion binding by protein P were present in a constriction of the channel that was too small for trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid to enter. Overall, the data suggest that both the number and relative position of charged lysines are major determinants of ion selectivity. 相似文献
