In Gram-negative bacteria that do not have porins, most water-soluble and small molecules are taken up by substrate-specific channels belonging to the OprD family. We report here the X-ray crystal structure of OpdK, an OprD family member implicated in the uptake of vanillate and related small aromatic acids. The OpdK structure reveals a monomeric, 18-stranded beta barrel with a kidney-shaped central pore. The OpdK pore constriction is relatively wide for a substrate-specific channel (approximately 8 A diameter), and it is lined by a positively charged patch of arginine residues on one side and an electronegative pocket on the opposite side-features likely to be important for substrate selection. Single-channel electrical recordings of OpdK show binding of vanillate to the channel, and they suggest that OpdK forms labile trimers in the outer membrane. Comparison of the OpdK structure with that of Pseudomonas aeruginosa OprD provides the first qualitative insights into the different substrate specificities of these closely related channels. 相似文献

Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, frequently utilize tripartite efflux complexes in the RND (resistance–nodulation–cell division) family to expel diverse toxic compounds from the cell. These complexes span both the inner and outer membranes of the bacterium via an α-helical, inner membrane transporter; a periplasmic membrane fusion protein; and a β-barrel, outer membrane channel. One such efflux system, CusCBA, is responsible for extruding biocidal Cu(I) and Ag(I) ions. To remove these toxic ions, the CusC outer membrane channel must form a β-barrel structural domain, which creates a pore and spans the entire outer membrane. We here report the crystal structures of wild-type CusC, as well as two CusC mutants, suggesting that the first N-terminal cysteine residue plays an important role in protein–membrane interactions and is critical for the insertion of this channel protein into the outer membrane. These structures provide insight into the mechanisms on CusC folding and transmembrane channel formation. It is found that the interactions between CusC and membrane may be crucial for controlling the opening and closing of this β-barrel, outer membrane channel. 相似文献

NalP is an autotransporter secretory protein found in the outer membrane of Neisseria meningitidis. The crystal structure of the NalP translocator domain revealed a transmembrane β-barrel containing a central α-helix. The role of this α-helix, and of the conformational dynamics of the β-barrel pore have been studied via atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. Three simulations, each of 10 ns duration, of NalP embedded within a solvated DMPC bilayer were performed. The helix was removed from the barrel interior in one simulation. The conformational stability of the protein is similar to that of other outer membrane proteins, e.g., OmpA, in comparable simulations. The transmembrane β-barrel is stable even in the absence of the α-helix. Removal of the helix results in an influx of water into the pore region, suggesting the helix acts as a ‘plug’. Water molecules entering the resultant pore form hydrogen bonds with the barrel lining that compensate for the loss of helix-barrel hydrogen bonds. The dimensions of the pore fluctuate over the course of the simulation revealing it to be flexible, but only wide enough to allow transport of the passenger domain in an unfolded or extended conformation. The simulations help us to understand the role of the central helix in plugging the pore and in maintaining the width of the barrel, and show that the NalP monomer is sufficient for the transport of the passenger domain in an unfolded or extended conformation. 相似文献

Autotransporters (ATs) of Gram-negative bacteria contain an N-proximal passenger domain that is transported to the extracellular milieu and a C-terminal β-domain that inserts into the outer membrane (OM) in a β-barrel conformation. This β-domain facilitates translocation of the passenger domain across the OM and has long been considered to be the translocation pore. However, available crystal structures of β-domains show that the β-barrel pore is too narrow for the observed transport of folded elements within the passenger domains. ATs have recently been shown to interact with the β-barrel assembly machinery. These findings questioned a direct involvement of the β-domain in passenger translocation and suggested that it may only target the passenger to the β-barrel assembly machinery pore. To address the function of the β-domain in more detail, we have replaced the β-domain of the Escherichia coli AT hemoglobin protease by β-domains originating from other OM proteins. Furthermore, we have modified the diameter of the β-domain pore. The mutant proteins were analyzed for their capacity to insert into the OM and for surface display of the passenger. Our results show that efficient passenger secretion requires a specific β-domain that not only functions as a targeting device but also is directly involved in the translocation of the passenger to the cell surface. 相似文献

The cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) are a large family of pore-forming toxins that are produced, secreted and contribute to the pathogenesis of many species of Gram-positive bacteria. The assembly of the CDC pore-forming complex has been under intense study for the past 20years. These studies have revealed a molecular mechanism of pore formation that exhibits many novel features. The CDCs form large β-barrel pore complexes that are assembled from 35 to 40 soluble CDC monomers. Pore formation is dependent on the presence of membrane cholesterol, which functions as the receptor for most CDCs. Cholesterol binding initiates significant secondary and tertiary structural changes in the monomers, which lead to the assembly of a large membrane embedded β-barrel pore complex. This review will focus on the molecular mechanism of assembly of the CDC membrane pore complex and how these studies have led to insights into the mechanism of pore formation for other pore-forming proteins.

The redesign of biological nanopores is focused on bacterial outer membrane proteins and pore-forming toxins, because their robust β-barrel structure makes them the best choice for developing stochastic biosensing elements. Using membrane protein engineering and single-channel electrical recordings, we explored the ferric hydroxamate uptake component A (FhuA), a monomeric 22-stranded β-barrel protein from the outer membrane of Escherichia coli. FhuA has a luminal cross-section of 3.1 × 4.4 nm and is filled by a globular N-terminal cork domain. Various redesigned FhuA proteins were investigated, including single, double, and multiple deletions of the large extracellular loops and the cork domain. We identified four large extracellular loops that partially occlude the lumen when the cork domain is removed. The newly engineered protein, FhuAΔC/Δ4L, was the result of a removal of almost one-third of the total number of amino acids of the wild-type FhuA (WT-FhuA) protein. This extensive protein engineering encompassed the entire cork domain and four extracellular loops. Remarkably, FhuAΔC/Δ4L forms a functional open pore in planar lipid bilayers, with a measured unitary conductance of ~4.8 nanosiemens, which is much greater than the values recorded previously with other engineered FhuA protein channels. There are numerous advantages and prospects of using such an engineered outer membrane protein not only in fundamental studies of membrane protein folding and design, and the mechanisms of ion conductance and gating, but also in more applicative areas of stochastic single-molecule sensing of proteins and nucleic acids. 相似文献

Vibrio cholerae cytolysin (VCC), a β-barrel pore-forming toxin (β-PFT), induces killing of the target eukaryotic cells by forming heptameric transmembrane β-barrel pores. Consistent with the β-PFT mode of action, binding of the VCC toxin monomers with the target cell membrane triggers formation of pre-pore oligomeric intermediates, followed by membrane insertion of the β-strands contributed by the pre-stem motif within the central cytolysin domain of each protomer. It has been shown previously that blocking of membrane insertion of the VCC pre-stem motif arrests conversion of the pre-pore state to the functional transmembrane pore. Consistent with the generalized β-PFT mechanism, it therefore appears that the VCC pre-stem motif plays a critical role toward forming the structural scaffold of the transmembrane β-barrel pore. It is, however, still not known whether the pre-stem motif plays any role in the membrane interaction process, and subsequent pre-pore structure formation by VCC. In this direction, we have constructed a recombinant variant of VCC deleting the pre-stem region, and have characterized the effect(s) of physical absence of the pre-stem motif on the distinct steps of the membrane pore-formation process. Our results show that the deletion of the pre-stem segment does not affect membrane binding and pre-pore oligomer formation by the toxin, but it critically abrogates the functional pore-forming activity of VCC. Present study extends our insights regarding the structure–function mechanism associated with the membrane pore formation by VCC, in the context of the β-PFT mode of action. 相似文献

The β-barrel is a transmembrane structural motif commonly encountered in bacterial outer membrane proteins and pore-forming toxins (PFTs). α-Hemolysin (αHL) is a cytotoxin secreted by Staphylococcus aureus that assembles from a water-soluble monomer to form a membrane-bound heptameric β-barrel on the surface of susceptible cells, perforating the cell membranes, leading to cell death and lysis. The mechanism of heptamer assembly, which has been studied extensively, occurs in a stepwise manner, and the structures of the initial, monomeric form and final, membrane-embedded pore are known. The toxin's ability to assemble from an aqueous, hydrophilic species to a membrane-inserted oligomer is of interest in understanding the assembly of PFTs in particular and the folding and structure of β-barrel membrane proteins in general. Here we review the structures of the monomeric and heptamer states of LukF and αHL, respectively, the mechanism of toxin assembly, and the relationships between αHL and nontoxin β-barrel membrane proteins. 相似文献

β-Barrel proteins are found in the outer membranes of bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria. The evolutionary conserved sorting and assembly machinery (SAM complex) assembles mitochondrial β-barrel proteins, such as voltage-dependent anion-selective channel 1 (VDAC1), into complexes in the outer membrane by recognizing a sorting β-signal in the carboxy-terminal part of the protein. Here we show that in mammalian mitochondria, masking of the C-terminus of β-barrel proteins by a tag leads to accumulation of soluble misassembled protein in the intermembrane space, which causes mitochondrial fragmentation and loss of membrane potential. A similar phenotype is observed if the β-signal is shortened, removed or when the conserved hydrophobic residues in the β-signal are mutated. The length of the tag at the C-terminus is critical for the assembly of VDAC1, as well as the amino acid residues at positions 130, 222, 225 and 251 of the protein. We propose that if the recognition of the β-signal or the folding of the β-barrel proteins is inhibited, the nonassembled protein will accumulate in the intermembrane space, aggregate and damage mitochondria. This effect offers easy tools for studying the requirements for the membrane assembly of β-barrel proteins, but also advises caution when interpreting the outcome of the β-barrel protein overexpression experiments. 相似文献

In Gram-negative bacteria, the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex catalyses the assembly of β-barrel proteins into the outer membrane, and is composed of five subunits: BamA, BamB, BamC, BamD and BamE. Once assembled, - β-barrel proteins can be involved in various functions including uptake of nutrients, export of toxins and mediating host-pathogen interactions, but the precise mechanism by which these ubiquitous and often essential β-barrel proteins are assembled is yet to be established. In order to determine the relative positions of BAM subunits in the membrane environment we reconstituted each subunit into a biomimetic membrane, characterizing their interaction and structural changes by Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) and neutron reflectometry. Our results suggested that the binding of BamE, or a BamDE dimer, to BamA induced conformational changes in the polypeptide transported-associated (POTRA) domains of BamA, but that BamB or BamD alone did not promote any such changes. As monitored by neutron reflectometry, addition of an unfolded substrate protein extended the length of POTRA domains further away from the membrane interface as part of the mechanism whereby the substrate protein was folded into the membrane. 相似文献

β-barrel proteins are found in the outer membranes of eukaryotic organelles of endosymbiotic origin as well as in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Precursors of mitochondrial β-barrel proteins are synthesized in the cytosol and have to be targeted to the organelle. Currently, the signal that assures their specific targeting to mitochondria is poorly defined. To characterize the structural features needed for specific mitochondrial targeting and to test whether a full β-barrel structure is required, we expressed in yeast cells the β-barrel domain of the trimeric autotransporter Yersinia adhesin A (YadA). Trimeric autotransporters are found only in prokaryotes, where they are anchored to the outer membrane by a single 12-stranded β-barrel structure to which each monomer is contributing four β-strands. Importantly, we found that YadA is solely localized to the mitochondrial outer membrane, where it exists in a native trimeric conformation. These findings demonstrate that, rather than a linear sequence or a complete β-barrel structure, four β-strands are sufficient for the mitochondria to recognize and assemble a β-barrel protein. Remarkably, the evolutionary origin of mitochondria from bacteria enables them to import and assemble even proteins belonging to a class that is absent in eukaryotes. 相似文献

Mitochondria originated from Gram-negative bacteria through endosymbiosis. In modern day mitochondria, the Sorting and Assembly Machinery (SAM) is responsible for eukaryotic β-barrel protein assembly in the mitochondrial outer membrane. The SAM is the functional equivalent of the β-barrel assembly machinery found in the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. In this study we examined the import pathway of a pathogenic bacterial protein, PorB, which is targeted from pathogenic Neisseria to the host mitochondria. We have developed a new method for measurement of PorB assembly into mitochondria that relies on the mobility shift exhibited by bacterial β-barrel proteins once folded and separated under semi-native electrophoretic conditions. We show that PorB is targeted to the outer mitochondrial membrane with a dependence on the intermembrane space shuttling chaperones and the core component of the SAM, Sam50, which is a functional homologue of BamA that is required for PorB assembly in bacteria. The peripheral subunits of the SAM, Sam35 and Sam37, which are essential for eukaryotic β-barrel protein assembly but do not have distinguishable functional homologues in bacteria, are not required for PorB assembly in eukaryotes. This shows that PorB uses an evolutionary conserved 'bacterial like' mechanism to infiltrate the host mitochondrial outer membrane. 相似文献

The β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) complex drives the assembly of β-barrel proteins into the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. It is composed of five subunits: BamA, BamB, BamC, BamD, and BamE. We find that the BAM complex isolated from the outer membrane of Escherichia coli consists of a core complex of BamA:B:C:D:E and, in addition, a BamA:B module and a BamC:D module. In the absence of BamC, these modules are destabilized, resulting in increased protease susceptibility of BamD and BamB. While the N-terminus of BamC carries a highly conserved region crucial for stable interaction with BamD, immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation, and protease-sensitivity assays show that the C-terminal domain of BamC, composed of two helix-grip motifs, is exposed on the surface of E. coli. This unexpected topology of a bacterial lipoprotein is reminiscent of the analogous protein subunits from the mitochondrial β-barrel insertion machinery, the SAM complex. The modular arrangement and topological features provide new insight into the architecture of the BAM complex, towards a better understanding of the mechanism driving β-barrel membrane protein assembly. 相似文献

Hia is a trimeric autotransporter found in the outer membrane of Haemphilus influenzae. The X-ray structure of Hia translocator domain revealed each monomer to consist of an α-helix connected via a loop to a 4-stranded β-sheet, thus the topology of the trimeric translocator domain is a 12-stranded β-barrel containing 3 α-helices that protrude from the mouth of the β-barrel into the extracellular medium. Molecular dynamics simulations of the Hia monomer and trimer have been employed to explore the interactions between the helices, β-barrel and connecting loops that may contribute to the stability of the trimer. In simulations of the Hia monomer we show that the central α-helix may stabilise the fold of the 4-stranded β-sheet. In simulations of the Hia trimer, a H-bond network involving residues in the β-barrel, α-helices and loops has been identified as providing stability for the trimeric arrangement of the monomers. Glutamine residues located in the loops connecting the α-helices to the β-barrel are orientated in a triangular arrangement such that each forms 2 hydrogen bonds to each of the corresponding glutamines in the other loops. In the absence of the loops, the β‐barrel becomes distorted. Simulations show that while the trimeric translocator domain β-barrel is inherently flexible, it is unlikely to accommodate the passenger domain in a folded conformation. Simulations of Hia in an asymmetric model of the outer membrane have revealed membrane–protein interactions that anchor the protein within its native membrane environment. 相似文献

As a consequence of their bacterial origin, mitochondria contain β-barrel proteins in their outer membrane (OMM). These proteins require the translocase of the outer membrane (TOM) complex and the conserved sorting and assembly machinery (SAM) complex for transport and integration into the OMM. The SAM complex and the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) required for biogenesis of β-barrel proteins in bacteria are evolutionarily related. Despite this homology, we show that bacterial β-barrel proteins are not universally recognized and integrated into the OMM of human mitochondria. Selectivity exists both at the level of the TOM and the SAM complex. Of all of the proteins we tested, human mitochondria imported only β-barrel proteins originating from Neisseria sp., and only Omp85, the central component of the neisserial BAM complex, integrated into the OMM. PorB proteins from different Neisseria, although imported by the TOM, were not recognized by the SAM complex and formed membrane complexes only when functional Omp85 was present at the same time in mitochondria. Omp85 alone was capable of integrating other bacterial β-barrel proteins in human mitochondria, but could not substitute for the function of its mitochondrial homolog Sam50. Thus, signals and machineries for transport and assembly of β-barrel proteins in bacteria and human mitochondria differ enough to allow only a certain type of β-barrel proteins to be targeted and integrated in mitochondrial membranes in human cells. 相似文献

PmOmpA is a two-domain outer membrane protein from Pasteurella multocida. The N-terminal domain of PmOmpA is a homologue of the transmembrane β-barrel domain of OmpA from Escherichia coli, whilst the C-terminal domain of PmOmpA is a homologue of the extra-membrane Neisseria meningitidis RmpM C-terminal domain. This enables a model of a complete two domain PmOmpA to be constructed and its conformational dynamics explored via MD simulations of the protein embedded within two different phospholipid bilayers (DMPC and DMPE). The conformational stability of the transmembrane β-barrel is similar to that of a homology model of OprF from Pseudomonas aeruginosa in bilayer simulations. There is a degree of water penetration into the interior of the β-barrel, suggestive of a possible transmembrane pore. Although the PmOmpA model is stable over 20 ns simulations, retaining its secondary structure and fold integrity throughout, substantial flexibility is observed in a short linker region between the N- and the C-terminal domains. At low ionic strength, the C-terminal domain moves to interact electrostatically with the lipid bilayer headgroups. This study demonstrates that computational approaches may be applied to more complex, multi-domain outer membrane proteins, rather than just to transmembrane β-barrels, opening the possibility of in silico proteomics approaches to such proteins. 相似文献

The proteome of the outer membrane of mitochondria and chloroplasts consists of membrane proteins anchored by α-helical or β-sheet elements. While proteins with α-helical transmembrane domains are present in all cellular membranes, proteins with β-barrel structure are specific for these two membranes. The organellar β-barrel proteins are encoded in the nuclear genome and thus, have to be targeted to the outer organellar membrane where they are recognized by surface exposed translocation complexes. In the last years, the signals that ensure proper targeting of these proteins have been investigated as essential base for an understanding of the regulation of cellular protein distribution. However, the organellar β-barrel proteins are unique as most of them do not contain a typical targeting information in form of an N-terminal cleavable targeting signal. Recently, it was discovered that targeting and surface recognition of mitochondrial β-barrel proteins in yeast, humans and plants depends on the hydrophobicity of the last β-hairpin of the β-barrel. However, we demonstrate that the hydrophobicity is not sufficient for the discrimination of targeting to chloroplasts or mitochondria. By domain swapping between mitochondrial and chloroplast targeted β-barrel proteins atVDAC1 and psOEP24 we demonstrate that the presence of a hydrophilic amino acid at the C-terminus of the penultimate β-strand is required for mitochondrial targeting. A mutation of the chloroplast β-barrel protein psOEP24 which mimics such profile is efficiently targeted to mitochondria. Thus, we present the properties of the signal for mitochondrial targeting of β-barrel proteins in plants. 相似文献

AbstractThe PapC usher, a β-barrel pore in the outer membrane of uropathogenic Escherichia coli, is used for assembly of the P pilus, a key virulence factor in bacterial colonization of human kidney cells. Each PapC protein is composed of a 24-stranded β-barrel channel, flanked by N- and C-terminal globular domains protruding into the periplasm, and occluded by a plug domain (PD). The PD is displaced from the channel towards the periplasm during pilus biogenesis, but the molecular mechanism for PD displacement remains unclear. Two structural features within the β-barrel, an α-helix and β5-6 hairpin loop, may play roles in controlling plug stabilization. Here we have tested clusters of residues at the interface of the plug, barrel, α-helix and hairpin, which participate in electrostatic networks. To assess the roles of these residues in plug stabilization, we used patch-clamp electrophysiology to compare the activity of wild-type and mutant PapC channels containing alanine substitutions at these sites. Mutations interrupting each of two salt bridge networks were relatively ineffective in disrupting plug stabilization. However, mutation of two pairs of arginines located at the inner and the outer surfaces of the PD resulted in an enhanced propensity for plug displacement. One arginine pair involved in a repulsive interaction between the linkers that tether the plug to the β-barrel was particularly sensitive to mutation. These results suggest that plug displacement, which is necessary for pilus assembly and translocation, may require a weakening of key electrostatic interactions between the plug linkers, and the plug and the α-helix. 相似文献

The folding reaction of a β-barrel membrane protein, outer membrane protein A (OmpA), is probed with F?rster resonance energy transfer (FRET) experiments. Four mutants of OmpA were generated in which the donor fluorophore, tryptophan, and acceptor molecule, a naphthalene derivative, are placed in various locations on the protein to report the evolution of distances across the bilayer and across the protein pore during a folding event. Analysis of the FRET efficiencies reveals three timescales for tertiary structure changes associated with insertion and folding into a synthetic bilayer. A narrow pore forms during the initial stage of insertion, followed by bilayer traversal. Finally, a long-time component is attributed to equilibration and relaxation, and may involve global changes such as pore expansion and strand extension. These results augment the existing models that describe concerted insertion and folding events, and highlight the ability of FRET to provide insight into the complex mechanisms of membrane protein folding.

The majority of cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) utilize cholesterol as a membrane receptor, whereas a small number are restricted to the GPI-anchored protein CD59 for initial membrane recognition. Two cholesterol-binding CDCs, perfringolysin O (PFO) and streptolysin O (SLO), were found to exhibit strikingly different binding properties to cholesterol-rich natural and synthetic membranes. The structural basis for this difference was mapped to one of the loops (L3) in the membrane binding interface that help anchor the toxin monomers to the membrane after receptor (cholesterol) binding by the membrane insertion of its amino acid side chains. A single point mutation in this loop conferred the binding properties of SLO to PFO and vice versa. Our studies strongly suggest that changing the side chain structure of this loop alters its equilibrium between membrane-inserted and uninserted states, thereby affecting the overall binding affinity and total bound toxin. Previous studies have shown that the lipid environment of cholesterol has a dramatic effect on binding and activity. Combining this data with the results of our current studies on L3 suggests that the structure of this loop has evolved in the different CDCs to preferentially direct binding to cholesterol in different lipid environments. Finally, the efficiency of β-barrel pore formation was inversely correlated with the increased binding and affinity of the PFO L3 mutant, suggesting that selection of a compatible lipid environment impacts the efficiency of membrane insertion of the β-barrel pore. 相似文献
