| Abstract: | Colicin A enters Escherichia coli cells through interaction with endogenous TolA and TolB proteins. In vitro, binding of the colicin A translocation domain to TolA leads to unfolding of TolA. Through NMR studies of the colicin A translocation domain and polypeptides representing the individual TolA and TolB binding epitopes of colicin A we question if the unfolding of TolA induced by colicin A is likely to be physiologically relevant. The NMR data further reveals that the colicin A binding site on TolA is different from that for colicin N which explains why there is a difference in colicin toxicity for E. coli carrying a TolA-III homologue from Yersina enterocolitica in place of its own TolA-III.Structured summaryMINT-7888512: TolA (uniprotkb:P19934) and Col-A (uniprotkb:P04480) bind (MI:0407) by nuclear magnetic resonance (MI:0077)MINT-7888526: TolA (uniprotkb:P19934) and TolB (uniprotkb:P0A857) bind (MI:0407) by nuclear magnetic resonance (MI:0077)MINT-7888999: TolA (uniprotkb:P19934), TolB (uniprotkb:P0A855) and Col-A (uniprotkb:P04480) physically interact (MI:0915) by molecular sieving (MI:0071)MINT-7888982: TolA (uniprotkb:P19934), TolB (uniprotkb:P0A855) and Col-A (uniprotkb:P04480) physically interact (MI:0915) by nuclear magnetic resonance (MI:0077) |
