Sec-dependent membrane protein insertion: sequential interaction of nascent FtsQ with SecY and YidC 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Malene L. Urbanus Pier A. Scotti Linda Frderberg Annika Sf Jan-Willem L. de Gier Josef Brunner James C. Samuelson Ross E. Dalbey Bauke Oudega Joen Luirink 《EMBO reports》2001,2(6):524-529
Recent studies identified YidC as a novel membrane factor that may play a key role in membrane insertion of inner membrane proteins (IMPs), both in conjunction with the Sec-translocase and as a separate entity. Here, we show that the type II IMP FtsQ requires both the translocase and, to a lesser extent, YidC in vivo. Using photo-crosslinking we demonstrate that the transmembrane (TM) domain of the nascent IMP FtsQ inserts into the membrane close to SecY and lipids, and moves to a combined YidC/lipid environment upon elongation. These data are consistent with a crucial role for YidC in the lateral transfer of TM domains from the Sec translocase into the lipid bilayer. 相似文献

In the bacterium Escherichia coli, the essential inner membrane protein (IMP) YidC assists in the biogenesis of IMPs and IMP complexes. Our current ideas about the function of YidC are based on targeted approaches using only a handful of model IMPs. Proteome-wide approaches are required to further our understanding of the significance of YidC and to find new YidC substrates. Here, using two-dimensional blue native/SDS-PAGE methodology that is suitable for comparative analysis, we have characterized the consequences of YidC depletion for the steady-state levels and oligomeric state of the constituents of the inner membrane proteome. Our analysis showed that (i) YidC depletion reduces the levels of a variety of complexes without changing their composition, (ii) the levels of IMPs containing only soluble domains smaller than 100 amino acids are likely to be reduced upon YidC depletion, whereas the levels of IMPs with at least one soluble domain larger than 100 amino acids do not, and (iii) the levels of a number of proteins with established or putative chaperone activity (HflC, HflK, PpiD, OppA, GroEL and DnaK) are strongly increased in the inner membrane fraction upon YidC depletion. In the absence of YidC, these proteins may assist the folding of sizeable soluble domains of IMPs, thereby supporting their folding and oligomeric assembly. In conclusion, our analysis identifies many new IMPs/IMP complexes that depend on YidC for their biogenesis, responses that accompany depletion of YidC and an IMP characteristic that is associated with YidC dependence. 相似文献

YidC was recently shown to play an important role in the assembly of inner membrane proteins (IMPs) both in conjunction with and separate from the Sec-translocon. Little is known about the biogenesis and structural and functional properties of YidC, itself a polytopic IMP. Here we analyze the targeting and membrane integration of YidC using in vivo and in vitro approaches. The combined data indicate that YidC is targeted by the signal recognition particle and inserts at the SecAYEG-YidC translocon early during biogenesis, unlike its mitochondrial homologue Oxa1p. In addition, YidC is shown to be relatively abundant compared with other components involved in IMP assembly and is predominantly localized at the poles of the cell. 相似文献

YidC has been identified recently as an evolutionary conserved factor that is involved in the integration of inner membrane proteins (IMPs) in Escherichia coli. The discovery of YidC has inspired the reevaluation of membrane protein assembly pathways in E. coli. In this study, we have analyzed the role of YidC in membrane integration of a widely used model IMP, leader peptidase (Lep). Site-directed photocross-linking experiments demonstrate that both YidC and SecY contact nascent Lep very early during biogenesis, at only 50-amino acid nascent chain length. At this length the first transmembrane domain (TM), which acquires a type I topology, is not even fully exposed outside the ribosome. The pattern of interactions appears dependent on the position of the cross-linking probe in the nascent chain. Upon elongation, nascent Lep remains close to YidC and comes into contact with lipids as well. Our results suggest a role for YidC in both the reception and lipid partitioning of type I TMs. 相似文献

In bacteria, a subset of membrane proteins insert into the membrane via the Sec apparatus with the assistance of the widely conserved essential membrane protein insertase YidC. After threading into the SecYEG translocon, transmembrane segments of nascent proteins are thought to exit the translocon via a lateral gate in SecY, where YidC facilitates their transfer into the lipid bilayer. Interactions between YidC and components of the Sec apparatus are critical to its function. The first periplasmic loop of YidC interacts directly with SecF. We sought to identify the regions or residues of YidC that interact with SecY or with additional components of the Sec apparatus other than SecDF. Using a synthetic lethal screen, we identified residues of YidC that, when mutated, led to dependence on SecDF for viability. Each residue identified is highly conserved among YidC homologs; most lie within transmembrane domains. Overexpression of SecY in the presence of two YidC mutants partially rescued viability in the absence of SecDF, suggesting that the corresponding wild-type YidC residues (G355 and M471) participate in interactions, direct or indirect, with SecY. Staphylococcus aureus YidC complemented depletion of YidC, but not of SecDF, in Escherichia coli. G355 of E. coli YidC is invariant in S. aureus YidC, suggesting that this highly conserved glycine serves a conserved function in interactions with SecY. This study demonstrates that transmembrane residues are critical in YidC interactions with the Sec apparatus and provides guidance on YidC residues of interest for future structure-function analyses. 相似文献

The polytopic inner membrane protein MalF is a constituent of the MalFGK(2) maltose transport complex in Escherichia coli. We have studied the biogenesis of MalF using a combination of in vivo and in vitro approaches. MalF is targeted via the SRP pathway to the Sec/YidC insertion site. Despite close proximity of nascent MalF to YidC during insertion, YidC is not required for the insertion of MalF into the membrane. However, YidC is required for the stability of MalF and the formation of the MalFGK(2) maltose transport complex. Our data indicate that YidC supports the folding of MalF into a stable conformation before it is incorporated into the maltose transport complex. 相似文献

The function of the essential inner membrane protein (IMP) YidC in Escherichia coli has been studied for a limited number of model IMPs and primarily using targeted approaches. These studies suggested that YidC acts at the level of insertion, folding, and quality control of IMPs, both in the context of the Sec translocon and as a separate entity. To further our understanding of YidC's role in IMP biogenesis, we screened a random overexpression library for factors that rescued the growth of cells upon YidC depletion. We found that the overexpression of the GadX and GadY regulators of the glutamate-dependent acid resistance system complemented the growth defect of YidC-depleted cells. Evidence is presented that GadXY overexpression counteracts the deleterious effects of YidC depletion on at least two fronts. First, GadXY prepares the cells for the decrease in respiratory capacity upon the depletion of YidC. Most likely, GadXY-regulated processes reduce the drop in proton-motive force that impairs the fitness of YidC-depleted cells. Second, in GadXY-overproducing cells increased levels of the general chaperone GroEL cofractionate with the inner membranes, which may help to keep newly synthesized inner membrane proteins in an insertion-competent state when YidC levels are limiting. 相似文献

The YidC/Oxa1/Alb3 family proteins are involved in membrane protein biogenesis in bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. Recent studies show that YidC uses a channel-independent mechanism to insert a class of membrane proteins into the membrane. Bacillus subtilis has two YidC homologs, SpoIIIJ (YidC1) and YidC2 (YqjG); the former is expressed constitutively, while the latter is induced when the SpoIIIJ activity is compromised. MifM is a substrate of SpoIIIJ, and its failure in membrane insertion is accompanied by stable ribosome stalling on the mifM-yidC2 mRNA, which ultimately facilitates yidC2 translation. While mutational inactivation of SpoIIIJ has been known to induce yidC2 expression, here, we show that the level of this induction is lower than that observed when the membrane insertion signal of MifM is defective. Moreover, this partial induction of YidC2 translation is lowered further when YidC2 is overexpressed in trans. These results suggest that YidC2 is able to insert MifM into the membrane and to release its translation arrest. Thus, under SpoIIIJ-deficient conditions, YidC2 expression is subject to MifM-mediated autogenous feedback repression. Our results show that YidC2 uses a mechanism that is virtually identical to that used by SpoIIIJ; Arg75 of YidC2 in its intramembrane yet hydrophilic cavity is functionally indispensable and requires negatively charged residues of MifM as an insertion substrate. From these results, we conclude that MifM monitors the total activities of the SpoIIIJ and the YidC2 pathways to control the synthesis of YidC2 and to maintain the cellular capability of the YidC mode of membrane protein biogenesis. 相似文献

The YidC/OxaI/Alb3 family of membrane proteins is involved in the biogenesis of integral membrane proteins in bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts. Gram-positive bacteria often contain multiple YidC paralogs that can be subdivided into two major classes, namely, YidC1 and YidC2. The Streptococcus mutans YidC1 and YidC2 proteins possess C-terminal tails that differ in charges (+9 and + 14) and lengths (33 and 61 amino acids). The longer YidC2 C terminus bears a resemblance to the C-terminal ribosome-binding domain of the mitochondrial OxaI protein and, in contrast to the shorter YidC1 C terminus, can mediate the interaction with mitochondrial ribosomes. These observations have led to the suggestion that YidC1 and YidC2 differ in their abilities to interact with ribosomes. However, the interaction with bacterial translating ribosomes has never been addressed. Here we demonstrate that Escherichia coli ribosomes are able to interact with both YidC1 and YidC2. The interaction is stimulated by the presence of a nascent membrane protein substrate and abolished upon deletion of the C-terminal tail, which also abrogates the YidC-dependent membrane insertion of subunit c of the F1F0-ATPase into the membrane. It is concluded that both YidC1 and YidC2 interact with ribosomes, suggesting that the modes of membrane insertion by these membrane insertases are similar. 相似文献

YidC, a 60-kDa integral membrane protein, plays an important role in membrane protein insertion in bacteria. YidC can function together with the SecYEG machinery or operate independently as a membrane protein insertase. In this paper, we describe two new yidC mutants that lead to a cold-sensitive phenotype in bacterial cell growth. Both alleles impart a cold-sensitive phenotype and result from point mutations localized to the third transmembrane (TM3) segment of YidC, indicating that this region is crucial for YidC function. We found that the yidC(C423R) mutant confers a weak phenotype on membrane protein insertion while a yidC(P431L) mutant leads to a stronger phenotype. In both cases, the affected substrates include the Pf3 coat protein and ATP synthase F1Fo subunit c (FoC), while CyoA (the quinol binding subunit of the cytochrome bo3 quinol oxidase complex) and wild-type procoat are slightly affected or not affected in either cold-sensitive mutant. To determine if the different substrates require various levels of YidC activity for membrane insertion, we performed studies where YidC was depleted using an arabinose-dependent expression system. We found that −3M-PC-Lep (a construct with three negatively charged residues inserted into the middle of the procoat-Lep [PC-Lep] protein) and Pf3 P2 (a construct with the Lep P2 domain added at the C terminus of Pf3 coat) required the highest amount of YidC and that CyoA-N-P2 (a construct with the amino-terminal part of CyoA fused to the Lep P2 soluble domain) and PC-Lep required the least, while FoC required moderate YidC levels. Although the cold-sensitive mutations can preferentially affect one substrate over another, our results indicate that different substrates require different levels of YidC activity for membrane insertion. Finally, we obtained several intragenic suppressors that overcame the cold sensitivity of the C423R mutation. One pair of mutations suggests an interaction between TM2 and TM3 of YidC. The studies reveal the critical regions of the YidC protein and provide insight into the substrate profile of the YidC insertase. 相似文献

To understand how YidC and SecYEG function together in membrane protein topogenesis, insertion and folding of the lactose permease of Escherichia coli (LacY), a 12-transmembrane helix protein LacY that catalyzes symport of a galactoside and an H+, was studied. Although both the SecYEG machinery and signal recognition particle are required for insertion of LacY into the membrane, YidC is not required for translocation of the six periplasmic loops in LacY. Rather, YidC acts as a chaperone, facilitating LacY folding. Upon YidC depletion, the conformation of LacY is perturbed, as judged by monoclonal antibody binding studies and by in vivo cross-linking between introduced Cys pairs. Disulfide cross-linking also demonstrates that YidC interacts with multiple transmembrane segments of LacY during membrane biogenesis. Moreover, YidC is strictly required for insertion of M13 procoat protein fused into the middle cytoplasmic loop of LacY. In contrast, the loops preceding and following the inserted procoat domain are dependent on SecYEG for insertion. These studies demonstrate close cooperation between the two complexes in membrane biogenesis and that YidC functions primarily as a foldase for LacY. 相似文献

To further our understanding of inner membrane protein (IMP) biogenesis in Escherichia coli, we have accomplished the widest in vivo IMP assembly screen so far. The biogenesis of a set of model IMPs covering most IMP structures possible has been studied in a variety of signal recognition particle (SRP), Sec and YidC mutant strains. We show that the assembly of the complete set of model IMPs is assisted (i.e. requires the aid of proteinaceous factors), and that the requirements for assembly of the model IMPs into the inner membrane differ significantly from each other. This indicates that IMP assembly is much more versatile than previously thought. 相似文献

Most membrane proteins are co-translationally inserted into the lipid bilayer via the universally conserved SecY complex and they access the lipid phase presumably via a lateral gate in SecY. In bacteria, the lipid transfer of membrane proteins from the SecY channel is assisted by the SecY-associated protein YidC, but details on the SecY-YidC interaction are unknown. By employing an in vivo and in vitro site-directed cross-linking approach, we have mapped the SecY-YidC interface and found YidC in contact with all four transmembrane domains of the lateral gate. This interaction did not require the SecDFYajC complex and was not influenced by SecA binding to SecY. In contrast, ribosomes dissociated the YidC contacts to lateral gate helices 2b and 8. The major contact between YidC and the lateral gate was lost in the presence of ribosome nascent chains and new SecY-YidC contacts appeared. These data demonstrate that the SecY-YidC interaction is influenced by nascent-membrane-induced lateral gate movements. 相似文献

Recently, the structure of YidC2 from Bacillus halodurans revealed that the conserved positively charged residue within transmembrane segment one (at position 72) is located in a hydrophilic groove that is embedded in the inner leaflet of the lipid bilayer. The arginine residue was essential for the Bacillus subtilis SpoIIIJ (YidC1) to insert MifM and to complement a SpoIIIJ mutant strain. Here, we investigated the importance of the conserved positively charged residue for the function of the Escherichia coli YidC, Streptococcus mutans YidC2, and the chloroplast Arabidopsis thaliana Alb3. Like the Gram-positive B. subtilis SpoIIIJ, the conserved arginine was required for functioning of the Gram-positive S. mutans YidC2 and was necessary to complement the E. coli YidC depletion strain and to promote insertion of a YidC-dependent membrane protein synthesized with one but not two hydrophobic segments. In contrast, the conserved positively charged residue was not required for the E. coli YidC or the A. thaliana Alb3 to functionally complement the E. coli YidC depletion strain or to promote insertion of YidC-dependent membrane proteins. Our results also show that the C-terminal half of the helical hairpin structure in cytoplasmic loop C1 is important for the activity of YidC because various deletions in the region either eliminate or impair YidC function. The results here underscore the importance of the cytoplasmic hairpin region for YidC and show that the arginine is critical for the tested Gram-positive YidC homolog but is not essential for the tested Gram-negative and chloroplast YidC homologs. 相似文献

Like its mitochondrial homolog Oxa1p, the inner membrane protein YidC of Escherichia coli is involved in the integration of membrane proteins. We have analyzed individual insertion steps of the polytopic E. coli membrane protein MtlA targeted as ribosome-nascent chain complexes to inner membrane vesicles. YidC can accommodate at least the first two transmembrane segments of MtlA at the protein lipid interface and retain them even though the length of the nascent chain would amply allow insertion into membrane lipids. An even longer insertion intermediate of MtlA is described that still has the first transmembrane helix bound to YidC while the third contacts SecE and YidC during integration. Our findings suggest that YidC forms a contiguous integration unit with the SecYE translocon and functions as an assembly site for polytopic membrane proteins mediating the formation of helix bundles prior to their release into the membrane lipids. 相似文献

Membrane protein translocation and insertion is a central issue in biology. Here we focus on a minimal system, the membrane insertase YidC of Escherichia coli that inserts small proteins into the cytoplasmic membrane. In a reconstituted system individual insertion processes were followed by single-pair fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), with a pair of fluorophores on YidC and the substrate Pf3 coat protein. After addition of N-terminally labeled Pf3 coat protein a close contact to YidC at its cytoplasmic label was observed. This allowed to monitor the translocation of the N-terminal domain of Pf3 coat protein across the membrane in real time. Translocation occurred within milliseconds as the label on the N-terminal domain rapidly approached the fluorophore on the periplasmic domain of YidC at the trans side of the membrane. After the close contact, the two fluorophores separated, reflecting the release of the translocated Pf3 coat protein from YidC into the membrane bilayer. When the Pf3 coat protein was labeled C-terminally, no translocation of the label was observed although efficient binding to the cytoplasmic positions of YidC occurred. 相似文献

The membrane insertase YidC, is an essential bacterial component and functions in the folding and insertion of many membrane proteins during their biogenesis. It is a multispanning protein in the inner (cytoplasmic) membrane of Escherichia coli that binds its substrates in the “greasy slide” through hydrophobic interaction. The hydrophilic part of the substrate transiently localizes in the groove of YidC before it is translocated into the periplasm. The groove, which is flanked by the greasy slide, is within the center of the membrane, and provides a promising target for inhibitors that would block the insertase function of YidC. In addition, since the greasy slide is available for the binding of various substrates, it could also provide a binding site for inhibitory molecules. In this review we discuss in detail the structure and the mechanism of how YidC interacts not only with its substrates, but also with its partner proteins, the SecYEG translocase and the SRP signal recognition particle. Insight into the substrate binding to the YidC catalytic groove is presented. We wind up the review with the idea that the hydrophilic groove would be a potential site for drug binding and the feasibility of YidC-targeted drug development. 相似文献

We have investigated the features of single-span model membrane proteins based upon leader peptidase that determines whether the proteins insert by a YidC/Sec-independent, YidC-only, or YidC/Sec mechanism. We find that a protein with a highly hydrophobic transmembrane segment that inserts into the membrane by a YidC/Sec-independent mechanism becomes YidC-dependent if negatively charged residues are inserted into the translocated periplasmic domain or if the hydrophobicity of the transmembrane segment is reduced by substituting polar residues for nonpolar ones. This suggests that charged residues in the translocated domain and the hydrophobicity within the transmembrane segment are important determinants of the insertion pathway. Strikingly, the addition of a positively charged residue to either the translocated region or the transmembrane region can switch the insertion requirements such that insertion requires both YidC and SecYEG. To test conclusions from the model protein studies, we confirmed that a positively charged residue is a SecYEG determinant for the endogenous proteins ATP synthase subunits a and b and the TatC subunit of the Tat translocase. These findings provide deeper insights into how pathways are selected for the insertion of proteins into the Escherichia coli inner membrane. 相似文献

YidC is a member of the YidC/Oxa1/Alb3 protein family that is crucial for membrane protein biogenesis in the bacterial plasma membrane. While YidC facilitates the folding and complex assembly of membrane proteins along with the Sec translocon, it also functions as a Sec-independent membrane protein insertase in the YidC-only pathway. However, little is known about how membrane proteins are recognized and sorted by these pathways, especially in Gram-positive bacteria, for which only a small number of YidC substrates have been identified to date. In this study, we aimed to identify Bacillus subtilis membrane proteins whose membrane insertion depends on SpoIIIJ, the primary YidC homolog in B. subtilis. We took advantage of the translation arrest sequence of MifM, which can monitor YidC-dependent membrane insertion. Our systematic screening identified eight membrane proteins as candidate SpoIIIJ substrates. Results of our genetic study also suggest that the conserved arginine in the hydrophilic groove of SpoIIIJ is crucial for the membrane insertion of the substrates identified here. However, in contrast to MifM, a previously identified YidC substrate, the importance of the negatively charged residue on the substrates for membrane insertion varied depending on the substrate. These results suggest that B. subtilis YidC uses substrate-specific interactions to facilitate membrane insertion. 相似文献

M13 procoat protein was one of the first model proteins used to study bacterial membrane protein insertion. It contains a signal peptide of 23 amino acid residues and is not membrane targeted by the signal recognition particle. The translocation of its periplasmic domain is independent of the preprotein translocase (SecAYEG) but requires electrochemical membrane potential and the membrane insertase YidC of Escherichia coli. We show here that YidC is sufficient for efficient membrane insertion of the purified M13 procoat protein into energized YidC proteoliposomes. When no membrane potential is applied, the insertion is substantially reduced. Only in the presence of YidC, membrane insertion occurs if bilayer integrity is preserved and membrane potential is stable for more than 20 min. A mutant of the M13 procoat protein, H5EE, with two additional negatively charged residues in the periplasmic domain inserted into YidC proteoliposomes and SecYEG proteoliposomes with equal efficiencies. We conclude that the protein can use both the YidC-only pathway and the Sec pathway. This poses the questions of how procoat H5EE is inserted in vivo and how insertion pathways are selected in the cell. 相似文献
