β-Barrel proteins tether the outer membrane in many Gram-negative bacteria

Gram-negative bacteria have a cell envelope that comprises an outer membrane (OM), a peptidoglycan (PG) layer and an inner membrane (IM). The OM and PG are load-bearing, selectively permeable structures that are stabilized by cooperative interactions between IM and OM proteins. In Escherichia coli , Braun’s lipoprotein (Lpp) forms the only covalent tether between the OM and PG and is crucial for cell envelope stability; however, most other Gram-negative bacteria lack Lpp so it has been assumed that alternative mechanisms of OM stabilization are present. In this work we used a glycoproteomic analysis of PG to show that β-barrel OM proteins are covalently attached to PG in several Gram-negative species, including Coxiella burnetii, Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Legionella pneumophila . In C. burnetii , we found that four different types of covalent attachments occur between OM proteins and PG, with tethering of the β-barrel OM protein BbpA becoming most abundant in the stationary phase and tethering of the lipoprotein LimB similar throughout the cell cycle. Using a genetic approach, we demonstrate that the cell cycle-dependent tethering of BbpA is partly dependent on a developmentally regulated L,D-transpeptidase (Ldt). We use our findings to propose a model of Gram-negative cell envelope stabilization that includes cell cycle control and an expanded role for Ldts in covalently attaching surface proteins to PG.

Structure of coagulation factor VIII bound to a patient-derived anti-C1 domain antibody inhibitor

The development of pathogenic antibody inhibitors against coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) occurs in ~30% of congenital hemophilia A patients receiving FVIII replacement therapy as well as in all cases of acquired hemophilia A. KM33 is an anti-C1 domain antibody inhibitor previously isolated from a severe hemophilia A patient. In addition to potently blocking FVIII binding to von Willebrand factor and phospholipid surfaces, KM33 disrupts FVIII binding to lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1), which drives FVIII hepatic clearance and antigen presentation in dendritic cells. Here, we report on the structure of FVIII bound to NB33, a recombinant derivative of KM33, by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy. Furthermore, structural analysis reveals the NB33 epitope localizes to FVIII residues R2090-S2094 and I2158-R2159 which constitute membrane-binding loops in the C1 domain. Further analysis reveals multiple FVIII lysine and arginine residues, previously shown to mediate binding to LRP1, dock onto an acidic cleft at the NB33 variable domain interface, thus blocking a putative LRP1 binding site. Together, these results demonstrate a novel mechanism of FVIII inhibition by a patient-derived antibody inhibitor and provide structural evidence toward engineering FVIII with reduced LRP1-mediated clearance.

A Structural Basis for Inhibition of the Complement Initiator Protease C1r by Lyme Disease Spirochetes

Abstract Complement evasion is a hallmark of extracellular microbial pathogens such as Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease. Lyme disease spirochetes express nearly a dozen outer surface lipoproteins that bind complement components and interfere with their native activities. Among these, BBK32 is unique in its selective inhibition of the classical pathway. BBK32 blocks activation of this pathway by selectively binding and inhibiting the C1r serine protease of the first component of complement, C1. To understand the structural basis for BBK32-mediated C1r inhibition, we performed crystallography and size-exclusion chromatography–coupled small angle X-ray scattering experiments, which revealed a molecular model of BBK32-C in complex with activated human C1r. Structure-guided site-directed mutagenesis was combined with surface plasmon resonance binding experiments and assays of complement function to validate the predicted molecular interface. Analysis of the structures shows that BBK32 inhibits activated forms of C1r by occluding substrate interaction subsites (i.e., S1 and S1’) and reveals a surprising role for C1r B loop–interacting residues for full inhibitory activity of BBK32. The studies reported in this article provide for the first time (to our knowledge) a structural basis for classical pathway–specific inhibition by a human pathogen.

Cristispira from oyster styles: complex morphology of large symbiotic spirochetes

Crystalline styles (digestive organs) of bivalve mollusks provide the habitat for highly motile bacteria. Styles from freshly-collected oysters, Crassostrea virginica, were studied by electron microscopy; Cristispira spirochetes were abundant in these organs. Detailed study reveals these spirochetes to be among the most complex prokaryotic cells known. More than 600 periplasmic flagella and an adhering outer lipoprotein membrane (e.g., a 270 degrees sillon) form the ultrastructural basis for the "crista," first described by light microscopy. Unique rosette structures corresponding to the "chambers" or "ovoid inclusions" of light microscopy were detected at the periphery of all protoplasmic cylinders. Polar organelles and linearly aligned flagellar insertions are conspicuous. In size and complexity, Cristispira more resembles Pillotina, Diplocalyx, Clevelandina and Hollandina (large spirochetes symbiotic in termites) than it does Treponema. Cristispira pectinis (Gross, 1910), the type species; Spirillum ostrea (Noguchi, 1921); and another, less frequent bacterial symbiont are the predominant inhabitants of the dense style matrix. The ultrastructure of the spirillum and an electron micrograph of the third bacterium are shown.

A Structural Perspective on the Alphavirus Life Cycle

Alphaviruses are mosquito-borne, enveloped viruses with a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA genome. Alphaviruses enter host cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis, using various cellular surface receptors such as matrix remodeling-associated protein 8 (MXRA8), low-density lipoprotein receptor class A domain-containing 3 (LDLRAD3), and very low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR), which facilitate binding to the viral glycoproteins. Following entry, viral proteins are expressed and nonstructural proteins assemble into replication complexes in host cells, driving RNA synthesis and genome replication. Viral assembly occurs at the plasma membrane, where nascent virions bud from the host cell in a process driven by capsid and spike proteins. Recent combinatorial structural studies have provided detailed molecular insights into various steps of the alphavirus life cycle. These structural insights into the alphavirus life cycle enhance our understanding of viral replication and assembly, with significant implications for antiviral strategies and the development of alphavirus-based vaccine vectors.

Structures and Mechanisms of a Novel Bacterial Transport System for Fatty Acids

Abstract Bacterial acquisition of metabolites is largely facilitated by transporters with unique substrate scopes. The tripartite ATP‐independent periplasmic (TRAP) transporters comprise a large family of bacterial proteins that facilitate the uptake of a variety of small molecules. It has been reported that some TRAP systems encode a fourth protein, the T component. The T‐component, or TatT, is predicted to be a periplasmic‐facing lipoprotein that enables the uptake of metabolites from the outer membrane. However, no substrates were revealed for any TatT and their functional role(s) remained enigmatic. We recently identified a homolog in Methylococcus capsulatus that binds to sterols, and herein, we report two additional homologs that demonstrate a preference for long‐chain fatty acids. Our bioinformatics, quantitative analyses of protein‐ligand interactions, and high‐resolution crystal structures suggest that TatTs might facilitate the trafficking of hydrophobic or lipophilic substrates and represent a new class of bacterial lipid and fatty acid transporters.

De Novo Design of High‐Affinity Miniprotein Binders Targeting Francisella Tularensis Virulence Factor

Abstract Francisella tularensis poses considerable public health risk due to its high infectivity and potential for bioterrorism. Francisella‐like lipoprotein (Flpp3), a key virulence factor unique to Francisella, plays critical roles in infection and immune evasion, making it a promising target for therapeutic development. However, the lack of well‐defined binding pockets and structural information on native interactions has hindered structure‐guided ligand discovery against Flpp3. Here, we used a combination of physics‐based and deep‐learning methods to design high‐affinity miniprotein binders targeting two distinct sites on Flpp3. We identified four binders for site I with binding affinities ranging between 24–110 nM. For the second site, an initial binder showed a dissociation constant ( K D ) of 81 nM, and subsequent site saturation mutagenesis yielded variants with sub‐nanomolar affinities. Circular dichroism confirmed the topology of designed miniproteins. The X‐ray crystal structure of Flpp3 in complex with a site I binder is nearly identical to the design model (Cα root‐mean‐square deviation (RMSD): 0.9 Å). These designed miniproteins provide research tools to explore the roles of Flpp3 in tularemia and should enable the development of new therapeutic candidates.

Use of T7 RNA polymerase to direct expression of outer Surface Protein A (OspA) from the Lyme disease Spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi

The OspA gene from a North American strain of the Lyme disease Spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, was cloned under the control of transciption and translation signals from bacteriophage T7. Full-length OspA protein, a 273 amino acid (31kD) lipoprotein, is expressed poorly in Escherichia coli and is associated with the insoluble membrane fraction. In contrast, a truncated form of OspA lacking the amino-terminal signal sequence which normally would direct localization of the protein to the outer membrane is expressed at very high levels (less than or equal to 100 mg/liter) and is soluble. The truncated protein was purified to homogeneity and is being tested to see if it will be useful as an immunogen in a vaccine against Lyme disease. Circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy was used to characterize the secondary structure and study conformational changes in the protein. Studies underway with other surface proteins from B burgdorferi and a related spirochete, B. hermsii, which causes relapsing fever, leads us to conclude that a strategy similar to that used to express the truncated OspA can provide a facile method for producing variations of Borrelia lipoproteins which are highly expressed in E. coli and soluble without exposure to detergents.

The congenital APOA1 K107del mutation disrupts the lipid-free conformation of monomeric APOA1 and impairs oligomerization

Apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1) oligomerization is thought to be essential for high-density lipoprotein (HDL) formation and metabolism. Naturally occurring mutations can disrupt normal APOA1 folding and self-association, leading to dysfunctional HDL formation and cardiovascular disease. The congenital APOA1 variant p.K131del (APOA1 K107del ) has been associated with cardiovascular pathologies such as low HDL-cholesterol levels and aortic amyloidosis, and multiple studies indicate structural changes in APOA1 conformation underlie associated dysfunction. In the current study, we confirmed that APOA1 K107del exhibits no notable defect in lipid-binding. However, using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), we found that loss of lysine 107 resulted in a remarkable shift in the distribution of APOA1 oligomers with a much higher proportion of monomers present in APOA1 K107del compared to wild-type APOA1. Further investigation using quantitative cross-linking revealed a major disruption of interactions in helical regions reported to participate in domain swaps necessary for proper self-association. This structural disruption appears to impair N- and C-termini interactions and dynamics that lead to non-specific aggregation. In conclusion, these findings support the hypothesis that lysine 107 is critical for proper folding and self-association of lipid-free APOA1 which could impact HDL biogenesis.

A Surface Exposed, Two-Domain Lipoprotein Cargo of a Type XI Secretion System Promotes Colonization of Host Intestinal Epithelia Expressing Glycans

The only known required component of the newly described Type XI secretion system (TXISS) is an outer membrane protein (OMP) of the DUF560 family. TXISS OMPs are broadly distributed across proteobacteria, but properties of the cargo proteins they secrete are largely unexplored. We report biophysical, histochemical, and phenotypic evidence that Xenorhabdus nematophila NilC is surface exposed. Biophysical data and structure predictions indicate that NilC is a two-domain protein with a C-terminal, 8-stranded β-barrel. This structure has been noted as a common feature of TXISS effectors and may be important for interactions with the TXISS OMP . The NilC N-terminal domain is more enigmatic, but our results indicate it is ordered and forms a β-sheet structure, and bioinformatics suggest structural similarities to carbohydrate-binding proteins. X. nematophila NilC and its presumptive TXISS OMP partner NilB are required for colonizing the anterior intestine of Steinernema carpocapsae nematodes: the receptacle of free-living, infective juveniles and the anterior intestinal cecum (AIC) in juveniles and adults. We show that, in adult nematodes, the AIC expresses a Wheat Germ Agglutinin (WGA)-reactive material, indicating the presence of N-acetylglucosamine or N-acetylneuraminic acid sugars on the AIC surface. A role for this material in colonization is supported by the fact that exogenous addition of WGA can inhibit AIC colonization by X. nematophila. Conversely, the addition of exogenous purified NilC increases the frequency with which X. nematophila is observed at the AIC, demonstrating that abundant extracellular NilC can enhance colonization. NilC may facilitate X. nematophila adherence to the nematode intestinal surface by binding to host glycans, it might support X. nematophila nutrition by cleaving sugars from the host surface, or it might help protect X. nematophila from nematode host immunity. Proteomic and metabolomic analyses of wild type X. nematophila compared to those lacking nilB and nilC revealed differences in cell wall and secreted polysaccharide metabolic pathways. Additionally, purified NilC is capable of binding peptidoglycan, suggesting that periplasmic NilC may interact with the bacterial cell wall. Overall, these findings support a model that NilB-regulated surface exposure of NilC mediates interactions between X. nematophila and host surface glycans during colonization. This is a previously unknown function for a TXISS.

Structures of the ApoL1 and ApoL2 N-terminal domains reveal a non-classical four-helix bundle motif

Apolipoprotein L1 (ApoL1) is a circulating innate immunity protein protecting against trypanosome infection. However, two ApoL1 coding variants are associated with a highly increased risk of chronic kidney disease. Here we present X-ray and NMR structures of the N-terminal domain (NTD) of ApoL1 and of its closest relative ApoL2. In both proteins, four of the five NTD helices form a four-helix core structure which is different from the classical four-helix bundle and from the pore-forming domain of colicin A. The reactivity with a conformation-specific antibody and structural models predict that this four-helix motif is also present in the NTDs of ApoL3 and ApoL4, suggesting related functions within the small ApoL family. The long helix 5 of ApoL1 is conformationally flexible and contains the BH3-like region. This BH3-like α-helix resembles true BH3 domains only in sequence and structure but not in function, since it does not bind to the pro-survival members of the Bcl-2 family, suggesting a Bcl-2-independent role in cytotoxicity. These findings should expedite a more comprehensive structural and functional understanding of the ApoL immune protein family.

Ceruloplasmin enhances smooth muscle cell- and endothelial cell-mediated low density lipoprotein oxidation by a superoxide-dependent mechanism

Cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) and endothelial cells (EC) stimulate low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation by free radical-mediated, transition metal-dependent mechanisms. The physiological source(s) of metal ions is not known; however, purified ceruloplasmin, a plasma protein containing 7 coppers, oxidizes LDL in vitro. We now show that ceruloplasmin also increases LDL oxidation by vascular cells. In metal ion-free medium, human ceruloplasmin increased bovine aortic SMC- and EC-mediated LDL oxidation by up to 30- and 15-fold, respectively. The maximal response was at 100-300 microg ceruloplasmin/ml, a level at or below the unevoked physiological plasma concentration. Oxidant activity was dependent on protein structure as a specific proteolytic cleavage or removal of one of the seven ceruloplasmin copper atoms inhibited activity. Three lines of evidence indicated a critical role for cellular superoxide (O2.) in ceruloplasmin-stimulated oxidation. First, the rate of production of O2. by cells correlated with their rates of LDL oxidation. Second, superoxide dismutase effectively blocked ceruloplasmin-stimulated oxidation by both cell types. Finally, O2. production by SMC quantitatively accounted for the observed rate of LDL oxidation. To show this, the course of O2. production by SMC was simulated by repeated addition of xanthine and xanthine oxidase to culture medium under cell-free conditions. Neither ceruloplasmin nor O2. alone increased LDL oxidation, but together they completely reconstituted the oxidation rate of ceruloplasmin-stimulated SMC. These results are the first to show that ceruloplasmin stimulates EC- and SMC-mediated oxidation of LDL and that cell-derived O2. accounts quantitatively for metal-dependent, free radical-initiated oxidation of LDL by these cells.

Sclerostin inhibits Wnt signaling through tandem interaction with two LRP6 ectodomains

Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6) is a coreceptor of the β-catenin-dependent Wnt signaling pathway. The LRP6 ectodomain binds Wnt proteins, as well as Wnt inhibitors such as sclerostin (SOST), which negatively regulates Wnt signaling in osteocytes. Although LRP6 ectodomain 1 (E1) is known to interact with SOST, several unresolved questions remain, such as the reason why SOST binds to LRP6 E1E2 with higher affinity than to the E1 domain alone. Here, we present the crystal structure of the LRP6 E1E2–SOST complex with two interaction sites in tandem. The unexpected additional binding site was identified between the C-terminus of SOST and the LRP6 E2 domain. This interaction was confirmed by in vitro binding and cell-based signaling assays. Its functional significance was further demonstrated in vivo using Xenopus laevis embryos. Our results provide insights into the inhibitory mechanism of SOST on Wnt signaling.

Distribution and Spectroscopy of Green Fluorescent Protein and Acyl-CoA: Cholesterol Acytransferase in Sf21 Insect Cells

Acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) is thought to significantly participate in the pathway of cholesterol esterification that underlies the pathology of artherosclerosis. This enzyme is a membrane protein known to be preferentially bound within the endoplasmic reticulum of mammalian cells, from which location it esterifies cholesterol derived from low density lipoprotein. Cultures of insect cells were separately infected with baculovirus containing the gene for green fluroescent protein (GFP) and with baculovirus containing tandem genes for GFP and ACAT. These infected cultures expressed GFP and the fusion protein GCAT, respectively, with maximum expression occurring on the fourth day after infection. Extraction of GFP- and of GCAT-expressing cells with urea and detergent resulted in recovery of fluorescent protein in aqueous solution. Fluorescence spectra at neutral pH were identical for both GFP and GCAT extracts in aqueous solution, indicating unperturbed tertiary structure for the GFP moiety within GCAT. In a cholesterol esterification assay, GCAT demonstrated ACAT activity, but with less efficiency compared to native ACAT. It was hypothesized that the membrane protein ACAT would lead to differences in localization of GCAT compared to GFP within the respective expressing insect cells. The GFP marker directly and also within the fusion protein GCAT was accordingly used as the intracellular probe that was fluorescently analyzed by the new biophotonics technique of hyperspectral imaging. In that technique, fluorescence imaging was obtained from two dimensional arrays of cells, and regions of interest from within those images were then retrospectively analyzed for the emission spectra that comprises the image. Results of hyperspectral imaging of insect cells on day 4 postinfection showed that GCAT was preferentially localized to the cytoplasm of these cells compared to GFP. Furthermore, the emission spectra obtained for the localized GCAT displayed a peak blue shift from 518nm obtained in neutral aqueous solution to 505nm obtained in localized regions within the cells. This blue shift indicates change in the fluorescence coupling of the GFP moiety of GCAT. It is hypothesized that change in tertiary environment of GCAT, coincident with intracellular deposition of GCAT, follows from intracellular trafficking of GCAT leading to membrane interactions with the ACAT moiety, and/or self-assembly of GCAT, that alters the chromophore environment of the GFP moiety of GCAT. These findings introduce a new technique of biophotonic imaging to studies of intracellular protein trafficking and interactions. This technique of hyperspectral imaging could contribute to advancing the emergent field of proteomics. Because of the noninvasive nature of this technique, kinetic processes associated with intracellular protein trafficking, and interactions of proteins within cellular domains, can be considered for investigation within a single cell as well as a cell population.

Expression, purification, and characterization of diacylated Lipo-YcjN from Escherichia coli

YcjN is a putative substrate binding protein expressed from a cluster of genes involved in carbohydrate import and metabolism in Escherichia coli. Here, we determine the crystal structure of YcjN to a resolution of 1.95 Å, revealing that its three-dimensional structure is similar to substrate binding proteins in subcluster D-I, which includes the well-characterized maltose binding protein. Furthermore, we found that recombinant overexpression of YcjN results in the formation of a lipidated form of YcjN that is posttranslationally diacylated at cysteine 21. Comparisons of size-exclusion chromatography profiles and dynamic light scattering measurements of lipidated and nonlipidated YcjN proteins suggest that lipidated YcjN aggregates in solution via its lipid moiety. Additionally, bioinformatic analysis indicates that YcjN-like proteins may exist in both Bacteria and Archaea, potentially in both lipidated and nonlipidated forms. Together, our results provide a better understanding of the aggregation properties of recombinantly expressed bacterial lipoproteins in solution and establish a foundation for future studies that aim to elucidate the role of these proteins in bacterial physiology.

Twisting integrin receptors increases endothelin-1 gene expression in endothelial cells

A magnetic twisting stimulator was developed based on the previously published technique of magnetic twisting cytometry. Using ligand-coated ferromagnetic microbeads, this device can apply mechanical stresses with varying amplitudes, duration, frequencies, and waveforms to specific cell surface receptors. Biochemical and biological responses of the cells to the mechanical stimulation can be assayed. Twisting integrin receptors with RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp)-containing peptide-coated beads increased endothelin-1 (ET-1) gene expression by >100%. In contrast, twisting scavenger receptors with acetylated low-density lipoprotein-coated beads or twisting HLA antigen with anti-HLA antibody-coated beads did not lead to alterations in ET-1 gene expression. In situ hybridization showed that the increase in ET-1 mRNA was localized in the cells that were stressed with the RGD-coated beads. Blocking stretch-activated ion channels with gadolinium, chelating Ca2+ with EGTA, or inhibiting tyrosine phosphorylation with genistein abolished twist-induced ET-1 mRNA elevation. Abolishing cytoskeletal tension with an inhibitor of the myosin ATPase, with an inhibitor of myosin light chain kinase, or with an actin microfilament disrupter blocked twisted-induced increases in ET-1 expression. Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that the molecular structural linkage of integrin-cytoskeleton is an important pathway for stress-induced ET-1 gene expression.

Apolipoprotein A5 reduces clearance of VLDL by altering apolipoprotein E content

Apolipoprotein A-V (APOA5) is a critical regulator of circulating triglyceride (TG) levels. Its deletion leads to elevated plasma TG concentrations by altering the metabolism of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles in vivo. One way APOA5 exerts its effects is through modulation of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, specifically by disrupting inhibitory interactions between LPL and angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTLs). However, the impact of APOA5 on VLDL composition and its potential to alter VLDL metabolism in other ways remains poorly understood. To address this, we investigated the influence of APOA5 on the VLDL proteome, LPL activation, and hepatic remnant uptake. Using VLDL from Apoa5 knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice, we found no evidence that APOA5 directly enhances LPL activity in purified or plasma systems. However, VLDL from Apoa5 K mice was cleared significantly more slowly by cultured hepatocytes. Proteomics experiments from two independent laboratories identified consistent depletion of 17 proteins involved in lipoprotein metabolism, inflammation, and immune response in Apoa5 KO VLDL, including APOE and serum amyloid A1 (SAA1). Remarkably, reintroduction of recombinant mouse APOA5 to the KO plasma partially restored the WT VLDL proteome, including APOE, and normalized VLDL uptake by hepatocytes without altering LPL lipolysis. These findings reveal that APOA5 influences hepatic clearance of VLDL remnants by modulating particle composition, particularly APOE content. This study expands the functional scope of APOA5 in TG metabolism and underscores its role in VLDL remodeling and remnant clearance, offering new insights with implications for understanding hypertriglyceridemia and its roles in inflammation and immune response.
