FtsQBL is a transmembrane protein complex in the divisome of Escherichia coli that plays a critical role in regulating cell division. Although extensive efforts have been made to investigate the interactions between the three involved proteins, FtsQ, FtsB, and FtsL, the detailed interaction mechanism is still poorly understood. In this study, we used hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry to investigate these full-length proteins and their complexes. We also dissected the structural dynamic changes and the related binding interfaces within the complexes. Our data revealed that FtsB and FtsL interact at both the periplasmic and transmembrane regions to form a stable complex. Furthermore, the periplasmic region of FtsB underwent significant conformational changes. With the help of computational modeling, our results suggest that FtsBL complexation may bring the respective constriction control domains (CCDs) in close proximity. We show that when FtsBL adopts a coiled-coil structure, the CCDs are fixed at a vertical position relative to the membrane surface; thus, this conformational change may be essential for FtsBL’s interaction with other divisome proteins. In the FtsQBL complex, intriguingly, we show only FtsB interacts with FtsQ at its C-terminal region, which stiffens a large area of the β-domain of FtsQ. Consistent with this, we found the connection between the α- and β-domains in FtsQ is also strengthened in the complex. Overall, the present study provides important experimental evidence detailing the local interactions between the full-length FtsB, FtsL, and FtsQ protein, as well as valuable insights into the roles of FtsQBL complexation in regulating divisome activity. 相似文献

目的:进一步比较化脓链球菌中野生型和Y137A、W204A突变型FtsB蛋白的铁色素结合特性,确定铁色素结合位点。方法:制备野生型和Y137A、W204A突变型FtsB蛋白,采用ICP-MS和ITC比较其铁色素结合能力;Na2SO4还原实验比较铁色素的还原速率;CD热变性和盐酸胍化学变性实验比较其铁色素结合稳定性。结果:Y137A、W204A突变型FtsB蛋白的铁色素结合能力和结合稳定性均低于野生型蛋白,铁色素的还原速率均高于野生型蛋白,可见Tyr137和Trp204是FtsB蛋白重要的铁色素结合位点。结论:进一步确定了Tyr137和Trp204氨基酸残基在FtsB与铁色素结合中的重要作用,为深入研究细菌中的铁色素转运机理及开发疫苗候选物奠定了一定的理论基础。 相似文献

体外克隆化脓性链球菌5005的tsb基因,表达并纯化FtsB蛋白,并对其铁色素结合特性进行初步研究.首先通过PCR方法从基因组中扩增ftsb基因,将其连接到pGEX4T-1载体上,转入大肠杆菌DH5a中大量扩增,将测序正确的重组载体转化到表达宿主大肠杆菌BL21进行表达,优化诱导表达条件.利用亲和层析方法纯化表达产物,并对FtsB的铁色素结合特性进行研究,同时通过DEPC封闭组氨酸实验对其结合位点进行初步研究.成功构建原核表达载体pGEX-ftsb,获得分子量约33 kD的野生型FtsB蛋白,产率为30 mg/L.紫外-可见光谱研究表明FtsB和铁色素结合后在450 nm处出现紫外吸收峰,DEPC封闭组氨酸实验证明FtsB中组氨酸不参与铁色素的结合.对FtsB蛋白进行铁色素结合特性和结合位点进行研究,为进一步研究细菌中的铁色素转运机理及开发疫苗候选物和药靶奠定一定的理论基础. 相似文献
