Abstract
Vibrio alginolyticus has been the second most common Vibrio species in the world and mainly grows in the ocean or estuary environment, which can induce epidemics outbreaks under marine organisms, and causing serious economic losses in aquaculture industry. In this study, the genetic populations and evolutionary relationship analysis of V. alginolyticus isolated from different geographical locations in China with typical interannual differences were exhibited originally genetic diversity. Then the virulence genes prevalence, antibiotic resistance phenotype, and antimicrobial resistance genes risk diversity of V. alginolyticus were analyzed by phenotypic and molecular typing methods. And they were complex correlations among antibiotic phenotypes, resistance and virulence genes under different genotype of V. alginolyticus. The results provide a theoretical foundation for further understanding the genetic and metabolic diversity among V. alginolyticus in China, and lay a theoretical foundation for the transmission risk assessment and regional diagnosis of Vibrio in aquatic animals.

Abstract
The folding of proteins into their native structure is crucial for the functioning of all biological processes. Molecular chaperones are guardians of the proteome that assist in protein folding and prevent the accumulation of aberrant protein conformations that can lead to proteotoxicity. ATP-independent chaperones do not require ATP to regulate their functional cycle. Although these chaperones have been traditionally regarded as passive holdases that merely prevent aggregation, recent work has shown that they can directly affect the folding energy landscape by tuning their affinity to various folding states of the client. This review focuses on emerging paradigms in the mechanism of action of ATP-independent chaperones and on the various modes of regulating client binding and release.

Abstract
Molecular chaperones are central to cellular protein homeostasis. Dynamic disorder is a key feature of the complexes of molecular chaperones and their client proteins, and it facilitates the client release towards a folded state or the handover to downstream components. The dynamic nature also implies that a given chaperone can interact with many different client proteins, based on physico-chemical sequence properties rather than on structural complementarity of their (folded) 3D structure. Yet, the balance between this promiscuity and some degree of client specificity is poorly understood. Here, we review recent atomic-level descriptions of chaperones with client proteins, including chaperones in complex with intrinsically disordered proteins, with membrane-protein precursors, or partially folded client proteins. We focus hereby on chaperone-client interactions that are independent of ATP. The picture emerging from these studies highlights the importance of dynamics in these complexes, whereby several interaction types, not only hydrophobic ones, contribute to the complex formation. We discuss these features of chaperone-client complexes and possible factors that may contribute to this balance of promiscuity and specificity.

Membrane Insertion of the M13 Minor Coat Protein G3p Is Dependent on YidC and the SecAYEG Translocase. Viruses 2021; 13:v13071414. [PMID: 34372619 PMCID: PMC8310372 DOI: 10.3390/v13071414] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Revised: 07/14/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The minor coat protein G3p of bacteriophage M13 is the key component for the host interaction of this virus and binds to Escherichia coli at the tip of the F pili. As we show here, during the biosynthesis of G3p as a preprotein, the signal sequence interacts primarily with SecY, whereas the hydrophobic anchor sequence at the C-terminus interacts with YidC. Using arrested nascent chains and thiol crosslinking, we show here that the ribosome-exposed signal sequence is first contacted by SecY but not by YidC, suggesting that only SecYEG is involved at this early stage. The protein has a large periplasmic domain, a hydrophobic anchor sequence of 21 residues and a short C-terminal tail that remains in the cytoplasm. During the later synthesis of the entire G3p, the residues 387, 389 and 392 in anchor domain contact YidC in its hydrophobic slide to hold translocation of the C-terminal tail. Finally, the protein is processed by leader peptidase and assembled into new progeny phage particles that are extruded out of the cell.

Abstract
More than a third of all bacterial polypeptides, comprising the 'exportome', are transported to extracytoplasmic locations. Most of the exportome is targeted and inserts into ('membranome') or crosses ('secretome') the plasma membrane. The membranome and secretome use distinct targeting signals and factors, and driving forces, but both use the ubiquitous and essential Sec translocase and its SecYEG protein-conducting channel. Membranome export is co-translational and uses highly hydrophobic N-terminal signal anchor sequences recognized by the signal recognition particle on the ribosome, that also targets C-tail anchor sequences. Translating ribosomes drive movement of these polypeptides through the lateral gate of SecY into the inner membrane. On the other hand, secretome export is post-translational and carries two types of targeting signals: cleavable N-terminal signal peptides and multiple short hydrophobic targeting signals in their mature domains. Secretome proteins remain translocation competent due to occupying loosely folded to completely non-folded states during targeting. This is accomplished mainly by the intrinsic properties of mature domains and assisted by signal peptides and/or chaperones. Secretome proteins bind to the dimeric SecA subunit of the translocase. SecA converts from a dimeric preprotein receptor to a monomeric ATPase motor and drives vectorial crossing of chains through SecY aided by the proton motive force. Signal peptides are removed by signal peptidases and translocated chains fold or follow subsequent trafficking.

Coassembly of SecYEG and SecA Fully Restores the Properties of the Native Translocon. J Bacteriol 2018; 201:JB.00493-18.

Abstract
In all cells, a highly conserved channel transports proteins across membranes. In Escherichia coli, that channel is SecYEG. Many investigations of this protein complex have used purified SecYEG reconstituted into proteoliposomes. How faithfully do activities of reconstituted systems reflect the properties of SecYEG in the native membrane environment? We investigated by comparing three in vitro systems: the native membrane environment of inner membrane vesicles and two methods of reconstitution. One method was the widely used reconstitution of SecYEG alone into lipid bilayers. The other was our method of coassembly of SecYEG with SecA, the ATPase of the translocase. For nine different precursor species we assessed parameters that characterize translocation: maximal amplitude of competent precursor translocated, coupling of energy to transfer, and apparent rate constant. In addition, we investigated translocation in the presence and absence of chaperone SecB. For all nine precursors, SecYEG coassembled with SecA was as active as SecYEG in native membrane for each of the parameters studied. Effects of SecB on transport of precursors faithfully mimicked observations made in vivo From investigation of the nine different precursors, we conclude that the apparent rate constant, which reflects the step that limits the rate of translocation, is dependent on interactions with the translocon of portions of the precursors other than the leader. In addition, in some cases the rate-limiting step is altered by the presence of SecB. Candidates for the rate-limiting step that are consistent with our data are discussed.IMPORTANCE This work presents a comprehensive quantification of the parameters of transport by the Sec general secretory system in the three in vitro systems. The standard reconstitution used by most investigators can be enhanced to yield six times as many active translocons simply by adding SecA to SecYEG during reconstitution. This robust system faithfully reflects the properties of translocation in native membrane vesicles. We have expanded the number of precursors studied to nine. This has allowed us to conclude that the rate constant for translocation varies with precursor species.

Abstract
The general secretory (Sec) system of Escherichia coli translocates both periplasmic and outer membrane proteins through the cytoplasmic membrane. The pathway through the membrane is provided by a highly conserved translocon, which in E. coli comprises two heterotrimeric integral membrane complexes, SecY, SecE, and SecG (SecYEG), and SecD, SecF, and YajC (SecDF/YajC). SecA is an associated ATPase that is essential to the function of the Sec system. SecA plays two roles, it targets precursors to the translocon with the help of SecB and it provides energy via hydrolysis of ATP. SecA exists both free in the cytoplasm and integrally membrane associated. Here we describe details of association of the amino-terminal region of SecA with membrane. We use site-directed spin labelling and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy to show that when SecA is co-assembled into lipids with SecYEG to yield highly active translocons, the N-terminal region of SecA penetrates the membrane and lies at the interface between the polar and the hydrophobic regions, parallel to the plane of the membrane at a depth of approximately 5 Å. When SecA is bound to SecYEG, preassembled into proteoliposomes, or nonspecifically bound to lipids in the absence of SecYEG, the N-terminal region penetrates more deeply (8 Å). Implications of partitioning of the SecA N-terminal region into lipids on the complex between SecB carrying a precursor and SecA are discussed.

Abstract
In Escherichia coli, proteins found in the periplasm or the outer membrane are exported from the cytoplasm by the general secretory, Sec, system before they acquire stably folded structure. This dynamic process involves intricate interactions among cytoplasmic and membrane proteins, both peripheral and integral, as well as lipids. In vivo, both ATP hydrolysis and proton motive force are required. Here, we review the Sec system from the inception of the field through early 2016, including biochemical, genetic, and structural data.

Abstract
Vibrio alginolyticus caused great losses to aquaculture. Adhesion is an important virulence factor of V. alginolyticus. In this study, the relationship between V. alginolyticus adhesion and type II secretion system genes (secA, secD, secF, yajC, and yidC) was determined using gene silencing, qRT‐PCR and in vitro adhesion assay. The results showed that the expression of target genes and the bacterial adhesion exhibited significant decreases after transient gene silencing and stable gene silencing, which indicated that secA, secD, secF, yajC, and yidC played roles in the bacterial adhesion of V. alginolyticus. The expression of secA, secD, secF, yajC, and yidC were significantly influenced by temperature, salinity, pH and starvation. The results indicated that the expression of secA, secD, secF, yajC, and yidC were sensitive to different environmental factors, whereas environmental factors can affect V. alginolyticus adhesion via the expression of secA, secD, secF, yajC, and yidC.

Abstract
SecA ATPase motor protein plays a central role in bacterial protein transport by binding substrate proteins and the SecY channel complex and utilizing its ATPase activity to drive protein translocation across the plasma membrane. SecA has been shown to exist in a dynamic monomer-dimer equilibrium modulated by translocation ligands, and multiple structural forms of the dimer have been crystallized. Since the structural form of the dimer remains a controversial and unresolved question, we addressed this matter by engineering ρ-benzoylphenylalanine along dimer interfaces corresponding to the five different SecA X-ray structures and assessing their in vivo photo-crosslinking pattern. A discrete anti-parallel 1M6N-like dimer was the dominant if not exclusive dimer found in vivo, whether SecA was cytosolic or in lipid or SecYEG-bound states. SecA bound to a stable translocation intermediate was crosslinked in vivo to a second SecA protomer at its 1M6N interface, suggesting that this specific dimer likely promotes active protein translocation. Taken together, our studies strengthen models that posit, at least in part, a SecA dimer-driven translocation mechanism.

Abstract
Signal peptides are critical for the initiation of protein transport in bacteria by virtue of their recognition by the SecA ATPase motor protein followed by their transfer to the lateral gate region of the SecYEG protein-conducting channel complex. In this study, we have constructed and validated the use of signal peptide-attached SecA chimeras for conducting structural and functional studies on the initial step of SecA signal peptide interaction. We utilized this system to map the location and orientation of the bound alkaline phosphatase and KRRLamB signal peptides to a peptide-binding groove adjacent to the two-helix finger subdomain of SecA. These results support the existence of a single conserved SecA signal peptide-binding site that positions the signal peptide parallel to the two-helix finger subdomain of SecA, and they are also consistent with the proposed role of this subdomain in the transfer of the bound signal peptide from SecA into the protein-conducting channel of SecYEG protein. In addition, our work highlights the utility of this system to conveniently engineer and study the interaction of SecA with any signal peptide of interest as well as its potential use for X-ray crystallographic studies given issues with exogenous signal peptide solubility.
