Abstract
Malolactic fermentation (MLF), usually induced by Oenococcus oeni (O. oeni), is an important process to improve wine quality. Acid acclimation has been proven to be useful for enhancing the viability of lyophilized O. oeni. To explain the involved mechanisms, cell integrity, morphology and protein patterns of lyophilized O. oeni SD-2a were investigated with acid acclimation. After lyophilization, improvement of cell integrity and more extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) were observed in acid acclimated cells. Combined with GO and KEGG analysis, different abundant proteins were noticeably enriched in the carbohydrate metabolism process, especially amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism. The most significant result was the over-expression of proteins participating in cell wall biosynthesis, EPS production, ATP binding and the bacterial secretion system. This result indicated the important role of acid acclimation on cell envelope properties. In addition, protein response to stress and arginine deiminase pathway were also proven to be over-expressed.

One Intact Transmembrane Substrate Binding Site Is Sufficient for the Function of the Homodimeric Type I ATP-Binding Cassette Importer for Positively Charged Amino Acids Art(MP) 2 of Geobacillus stearothermophilus. J Bacteriol 2018; 200:JB.00092-18. [PMID: 29581409 DOI: 10.1128/jb.00092-18] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2018] [Accepted: 03/20/2018] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transport systems comprise two transmembrane domains/subunits that form a translocation path and two nucleotide-binding domains/subunits that bind and hydrolyze ATP. Prokaryotic canonical ABC import systems require an extracellular substrate-binding protein for function. Knowledge of substrate-binding sites within the transmembrane subunits is scarce. Recent crystal structures of the ABC importer Art(QN)2 for positively charged amino acids of Thermoanerobacter tengcongensis revealed the presence of one substrate molecule in a defined binding pocket in each of the transmembrane subunits, ArtQ (J. Yu, J. Ge, J. Heuveling, E. Schneider, and M. Yang, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 112:5243-5248, 2015, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1415037112). This finding raised the question of whether both sites must be loaded with substrate prior to initiation of the transport cycle. To address this matter, we first explored the role of key residues that form the binding pocket in the closely related Art(MP)2 transporter of Geobacillus stearothermophilus, by monitoring consequences of mutations in ArtM on ATPase and transport activity at the level of purified proteins embedded in liposomes. Our results emphasize that two negatively charged residues (E153 and D160) are crucial for wild-type function. Furthermore, the variant Art[M(L67D)P]2 exhibited strongly impaired activities, which is why it was considered for construction of a hybrid complex containing one intact and one impaired substrate-binding site. Activity assays clearly revealed that one intact binding site was sufficient for function. To our knowledge, our study provides the first biochemical evidence on transmembrane substrate-binding sites of an ABC importer.IMPORTANCE Canonical prokaryotic ATP-binding cassette importers mediate the uptake of a large variety of chemicals, including nutrients, osmoprotectants, growth factors, and trace elements. Some also play a role in bacterial pathogenesis, which is why full understanding of their mode of action is of the utmost importance. One of the unsolved problems refers to the chemical nature and number of substrate binding sites formed by the transmembrane subunits. Here, we report that a hybrid amino acid transporter of G. stearothermophilus, encompassing one intact and one impaired transmembrane binding site, is fully competent in transport, suggesting that the binding of one substrate molecule is sufficient to trigger the translocation process.

Abstract
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an emerging bacterial pathogen capable of causing inflammatory gastroenteritis, wound infections, and septicemia. As a food-borne illness, infection is most frequently associated with the consumption of raw or undercooked seafood, particularly shellfish. It is the primary cause of Vibrio-associated food-borne illness in the United States and the leading cause of food-borne illness in Japan. The larger of its two chromosomes harbors a set of genes encoding type III section system 1 (T3SS1), a virulence factor present in all V. parahaemolyticus strains that is similar to the Yersinia ysc T3SS. T3SS1 translocates effector proteins into eukaryotic cells where they induce changes to cellular physiology and modulate host-pathogen interactions. T3SS1 is also responsible for cytotoxicity toward several different cultured cell lines as well as mortality in a mouse model. Herein we used RNA-seq to obtain global transcriptome patterns of V. parahaemolyticus under conditions that either induce [growth in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) media, in trans expression of transcriptional regulator exsA] or repress T3SS1 expression (growth in LB-S media, in trans exsD expression) and during infection of HeLa cells over time. Comparative transcriptomic analysis demonstrated notable differences in the expression patterns under inducing conditions and was also used to generate an expression profile of V. parahaemolyticus during infection of HeLa cells. In addition, we identified several new genes that are associated with T3SS1 expression and may warrant further study.

Abstract
The type I ATP-binding cassette (ABC) importer for positively charged amino acids of the thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus consists of the extracellular solute binding protein, ArtJ, and a homodimer each of the transmembrane subunit, ArtM, and the nucleotide-binding and -hydrolyzing subunit, ArtP. We have investigated the functional consequences of mutations affecting conserved residues from two peptide regions in ArtM, recently proposed to form a 'gate' by which access of a substrate to the translocation path is controlled (Hollenstein et al., 2007 [14]). Transporter variants were reconstituted into proteoliposomes and assayed for ArtJ/arginine-stimulated ATPase activity. Replacement of residues from region 1 (Arg-63, Pro-66) caused no or only moderate reduction in ATPase activity. In contrast, mutating residues from gate region 2 (Lys-159, Leu-163) resulted in a substantial increase in ATPase activity which, however, as demonstrated for variants ArtM(K159I) and ArtM(K159E), is not coupled to transport. Replacing homologous residues in the closely related histidine transporter of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (HisJ-QMP2) caused different phenotypes. Mutation to isoleucine of HisQ(K163) or HisM(H172), both homologous to ArtM(K159), abolished ATPase activity. The mutations most likely caused a structural change as revealed by limited proteolysis. In contrast, substantial, albeit reduced, enzymatic activity was observed with variants of HisQ(L167→G) or HisM(L176→G), both homologous to ArtM(L163). Our study provides the first experimental evidence in favor of a crucial role of residues from the proposed gate region in type I ABC importer function.

Abstract
The 'art' genes encode specific arginine uptake proteins, and are repressed by the repressible promoters of ArgR, affecting transcription of artJ. Cpb0502, the arginine-binding periplasmic protein 2 precursor from Chlamydophila pneumoniae TW-183 strains, is responsible for arginine transport. As C. pneumoniae is difficult to isolate and culture, there have been many studies of better ways to detect it. A microimmunofluorescence assay (MIF) is still considered to be the 'gold standard' for detecting C. pneumoniae. Although MIF has its own limitations, a number of immunogenic antigens have been shown to be C. pneumoniae specific by this test. Here, we report Cpb0502 as a specific immunogenic antigen against C. pneumoniae as it was detected only in human infection sera of C. pneumoniae but not in Legionella pneumophila and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection sera, showing high specificity and sensitivity by MIF, western blot and ELISA analysis. And also the crystal structure of Cpb0502 was determined to be a dimer at 2.07Å, revealing a similar backbone structure to a histidine kinase receptor, HK29S. Therefore we may suggest that Cpb0502 is a candidate immunogenic antigen for better diagnosis of C. pneumoniae.

Abstract
Structural biology is developing into a universal tool for visualizing biological processes in space and time at atomic resolution. The field has been built by established methodology like X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy and solution NMR and is now incorporating new techniques, such as small-angle X-ray scattering, electron tomography, magic-angle-spinning solid-state NMR and femtosecond X-ray protein nanocrystallography. These new techniques all seek to investigate non-crystalline, native-like biological material. Solid-state NMR is a relatively young technique that has just proven its capabilities for de novo structure determination of model proteins. Further developments promise great potential for investigations on functional biological systems such as membrane-integrated receptors and channels, and macromolecular complexes attached to cytoskeletal proteins. Here, we review the development and applications of solid-state NMR from the first proof-of-principle investigations to mature structure determination projects, including membrane proteins. We describe the development of the methodology by looking at examples in detail and provide an outlook towards future 'big' projects.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transport systems mediate the translocation of solutes across biological membranes at the expense of ATP. They share a common modular architecture comprising two pore-forming transmembrane domains and two nucleotide binding domains. In prokaryotes, ABC transporters are involved in the uptake of a large variety of chemicals, including nutrients, osmoprotectants and signal molecules. In pathogenic bacteria, some ABC importers are virulence factors. Canonical ABC import systems require an additional component, a substrate-specific receptor or binding protein for function. Interaction of the liganded receptor with extracytoplasmic loop regions of the transmembrane domains initiate the transport cycle. In this review we summarize the current knowledge on receptor-transporter interplay provided by crystal structures as well as by biochemical and biophysical means. In particular, we focus on the maltose/maltodextrin transporter of enterobacteria and the transporters for positively charged amino acids from the thermophile Geobacillus stearothermophilus and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.

Abstract
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transport systems facilitate the translocation of substances, like amino acids, across cell membranes energised by ATP hydrolysis. This work describes first structural studies on the ABC transporter ArtMP from Geobacillus stearothermophilus in native lipid environment by magic-angle spinning NMR spectroscopy. The 2D crystals of ArtMP and 3D crystals of isolated ArtP were prepared in different nucleotide-bound or -unbound states. From selectively (13)C,(15)N-labelled ArtP, several sequence-specific assignments were obtained, most of which could be transferred to spectra of ArtMP. Residues Tyr133 and Pro134 protrude directly into the ATP-binding pocket at the interface of the ArtP subunits, and hence, are sensitive monitors for structural changes during nucleotide binding and hydrolysis. Distinct sets of NMR shifts were obtained for ArtP with different phosphorylation states of the ligand. Indications were found for an asymmetric or inhomogeneous state of the ArtP dimer bound with triphosphorylated nucleotides. With this investigation, a model system was established for screening all functional states occurring in one ABC transporter in native lipid environment.

Abstract
In the thermophile Geobacillus stearothermophilus, the uptake of basic amino acids is mediated by an ABC transporter composed of the substrate binding protein (receptor) ArtJ and a homodimer each of the pore-forming subunit, ArtM, and the nucleotide-binding subunit, ArtP. We recently identified two putative binding sites in ArtJ that might interact with the Art(MP)(2) complex, thereby initiating the transport cycle (A. Vahedi-Faridi et al., J. Mol. Biol. 375:448-459, 2008). Here we investigated the contribution of charged amino acid residues in the second extracellular loop of ArtM to contact with ArtJ. Our results demonstrate a crucial role for residues K177, R185, and E188, since mutations to oppositely charged amino acids or glutamine led to a complete loss of ArtJ-stimulated ATPase activity of the complex variants in proteoliposomes. The defects could not be suppressed by ArtJ variants carrying mutations in site I (K39E and K152E) or II (E163K and D170K), suggesting a more complex interplay than that by a single salt bridge. These findings were supported by cross-linking assays demonstrating physical proximity between ArtJ(N166C) and ArtM(E182C). The importance of positively charged residues for receptor-transporter interaction was underscored by mutational analysis of the closely related transporter HisJ/LAO-HisQMP(2) of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. While transporter variants with mutated positively charged residues in HisQ displayed residual ATPase activities, corresponding mutants of HisM could no longer be stimulated by HisJ/LAO. Interestingly, the ATPase activity of the HisQM(K187E)P(2) variant was inhibited by l- and d-histidine in detergent, suggesting a role of the residue in preventing free histidine from gaining access to the substrate binding site within HisQM.

Abstract
ArtJ is the substrate-binding component (receptor) of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transport system ArtJ-(MP)(2) from the thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus that is specific for arginine, lysine, and histidine. The highest affinity is found for arginine (K(d)=0.039(+/-0.014) microM), while the affinities for lysine and histidine are about tenfold lower. We have determined the X-ray structures of ArtJ liganded with each of these substrates at resolutions of 1.79 A (arginine), 1.79 A (lysine), and 2.35 A (histidine), respectively. As found for other solute receptors, the polypeptide chain is folded into two distinct domains (lobes) connected by a hinge. The interface between the lobes forms the substrate-binding pocket whose geometry is well preserved in all three ArtJ/amino acid complexes. Structure-derived mutational analyses indicated the crucial role of a region in the carboxy-terminal lobe of ArtJ in contacting the transport pore Art(MP)(2) and revealed the functional importance of Gln132 and Trp68. While variant Gln132Leu exhibited lower binding affinity for arginine but no binding of lysine and histidine, the variant Trp68Leu had lost binding activity for all three substrates. The results are discussed in comparison with known structures of homologous proteins from mesophilic bacteria.
