Preliminary X-ray investigations of several crystal forms of the ferripyoverdine FpvA outer membrane receptor from Pseudomonas aeruginosa bound to ferripyoverdine.

ABSTRACT: Ferripyoverdine transport across the outer membrane of Pseudomonas aeruginosa by the pyoverdine receptor FpvA and the transcriptional regulation of FpvA involve interactions of the FpvA N-terminal TonB box and signalling domain with proteins from the inner membrane. Several crystallization conditions of FpvA-Pvd-Fe solubilized in C8E4 detergent were obtained and X-ray data were collected from three crystal forms. The resolution limits range from 3.15 to 2.7 angstroms depending on the crystal form. From preliminary analysis of the electron-density maps, the first full-length structure of an outer membrane receptor including a signalling domain should be determined.

Interaction of TonB with the outer membrane receptor FpvA of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:Pyoverdine-mediated iron uptake by the FpvA receptor in the outer membrane of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is dependent on the inner membrane protein TonB1. This energy transducer couples the proton-electrochemical potential of the inner membrane to the transport event. To shed more light upon this process, a recombinant TonB1 protein lacking the N-terminal inner membrane anchor (TonB(pp)) was constructed. This protein was, after expression in Escherichia coli, purified from the soluble fraction of lysed cells by means of an N-terminal hexahistidine or glutathione S-transferase (GST) tag. Purified GST-TonB(pp) was able to capture detergent-solubilized FpvA, regardless of the presence of pyoverdine or pyoverdine-Fe. Targeting of the TonB1 fragment to the periplasm of P. aeruginosa inhibited the transport of ferric pyoverdine by FpvA in vivo, indicating an interference with endogenous TonB1, presumably caused by competition for binding sites at the transporter or by formation of nonfunctional TonB heterodimers. Surface plasmon resonance experiments demonstrated that the FpvA-TonB(pp) interactions have apparent affinities in the micromolar range. The binding of pyoverdine or ferric pyoverdine to FpvA did not modulate this affinity. Apparently, the presence of either iron or pyoverdine is not essential for the formation of the FpvA-TonB complex in vitro.

FpvA receptor involvement in pyoverdine biosynthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:Alignment of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa ferric pyoverdine receptor, FpvA, with similar ferric-siderophore receptors revealed that the mature protein carries an extension of ca. 70 amino acids at its N terminus, an extension shared by the ferric pseudobactin receptors of P. putida. Deletion of fpvA from the chromosome of P. aeruginosa reduced pyoverdine production in this organism, as a result of a decline in expression of genes (e.g., pvdD) associated with the biosynthesis of the pyoverdine peptide moiety. Wild-type fpvA restored pvd expression in the mutant, thereby complementing its pyoverdine deficiency, although a deletion derivative of fpvA encoding a receptor lacking the N terminus of the mature protein did not. The truncated receptor was, however, functional in pyoverdine-mediated iron uptake, as evidenced by its ability to promote pyoverdine-dependent growth in an iron-restricted medium. These data are consistent with the idea that the N-terminal extension plays a role in FpvA-mediated pyoverdine biosynthesis in P. aeruginosa.

Preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of ?-carbonic anhydrase psCA3 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes life-threatening infections in susceptible individuals and is resistant to most clinically available antimicrobials. Genomic and proteomic studies have identified three genes, pa0102, pa2053 and pa4676, in P. aeruginosa PAO1 encoding three functional ?-carbonic anhydrases (?-CAs): psCA1, psCA2 and psCA3, respectively. These ?-CAs could serve as novel antimicrobial drug targets for this pathogen. X-ray crystallographic structural studies have been initiated to characterize the structure and function of these proteins. This communication describes the production of two crystal forms (A and B) of ?-CA psCA3. Form A diffracted to a resolution of 2.9 Å; it belonged to space group P212121, with unit-cell parameters a = 81.9, b = 84.9, c = 124.2 Å, and had a calculated Matthews coefficient of 2.23 Å³ Da?¹ assuming four molecules in the crystallographic asymmetric unit. Form B diffracted to a resolution of 3.0 Å; it belonged to space group P21212, with unit-cell parameters a = 69.9, b = 77.7, c = 88.5 Å, and had a calculated Matthews coefficient of 2.48 Å³ Da?¹ assuming two molecules in the crystallographic asymmetric unit. Preliminary molecular-replacement solutions have been determined with the PHENIX AutoMR wizard and refinement of both crystal forms is currently in progress.

Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa AlgX.

Project description:AlgX is a periplasmic protein required for the production of the exopolysaccharide alginate in Pseudomonas sp. and Azotobacter vinelandii. AlgX has been overexpressed and purified and diffraction-quality crystals have been grown using iterative seeding and the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method. The crystals grew as flat plates with unit-cell parameters a = 46.4, b = 120.6, c = 86.9 A, beta = 95.7 degrees . The crystals exhibited the symmetry of space group P2(1) and diffracted to a minimum d-spacing of 2.1 A. On the basis of the Matthews coefficient (V(M) = 2.25 A(3) Da(-1)), two molecules were estimated to be present in the asymmetric unit.

FpvA-mediated ferric pyoverdine uptake in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: identification of aromatic residues in FpvA implicated in ferric pyoverdine binding and transport.

Project description:A number of aromatic residues were seen to cluster in the upper portion of the three-dimensional structure of the FpvA ferric pyoverdine receptor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, reminiscent of the aromatic binding pocket for ferrichrome in the FhuA receptor of Escherichia coli. Alanine substitutions in three of these, W362, W391, and F795, markedly compromised ferric pyoverdine binding and transport, consistent with a role of FpvA in ferric pyoverdine recognition.

Pyocin S2 (Sa) kills Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains via the FpvA type I ferripyoverdine receptor.

Project description:Soluble (S-type) pyocins are Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriocins that kill nonimmune P. aeruginosa strains via a specific receptor. The genes coding for pyocin Sa (consisting of a killing protein and an immunity protein) were cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Sequence analysis revealed that Sa is identical to pyocin S2. Seventy-nine strains of P. aeruginosa were tested for their sensitivity to pyocins S1, S2, and S3, and their ferripyoverdine receptors were typed by multiplex PCR. No strain was found to be sensitive to both S2 and S3, suggesting that the receptors for these two pyocins cannot coexist in one strain. As expected, all S3-sensitive strains had the type II ferripyoverdine receptor fpvA gene, confirming our previous reports. S1 killed strains irrespective of the type of ferripyoverdine receptor they produced. All S2-sensitive strains had the type I fpvA gene, and the inactivation of type I fpvA in an S2-sensitive strain conferred resistance to the S2 pyocin. Accordingly, complementation with type I fpvA in trans restored sensitivity to S2. Some S2-resistant type I fpvA-positive strains were detected, the majority (all but five) of which had the S1-S2 immunity gene. Comparison of type I fpvA sequences from immunity gene-negative S2-sensitive and S2-resistant strains revealed only a valine-to-isoleucine substitution at position 46 of type I FpvA. However, both type I fpvA genes conferred the capacity for type I pyoverdine utilization and sensitivity to S2. When these two type I fpvA genes were introduced into strain 7NSK2 carrying mutations in type II fpvA (encoding the type II pyoverdine receptor) and fpvB (encoding the alternative type I receptor), growth in the presence of type I pyoverdine was observed and the strain became sensitive to S2. We also found that type I pyoverdine could signal type II pyoverdine production via the type I FpvA receptor in 7NSK2.

Loss of membrane-bound lytic transglycosylases increases outer membrane permeability and ?-lactam sensitivity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a leading cause of nosocomial infections. Its relatively impermeable outer membrane (OM) limits antibiotic entry, and a chromosomally encoded AmpC ?-lactamase inactivates ?-lactam antibiotics. AmpC expression is linked to peptidoglycan (PG) recycling, and soluble (sLT) or membrane-bound (mLT) lytic transglycosylases are responsible for generating the anhydromuropeptides that induce AmpC expression. Thus, inhibition of LT activity could reduce AmpC-mediated ?-lactam resistance in P. aeruginosa. Here, we characterized single and combination LT mutants. Strains lacking SltB1 or MltB had increased ?-lactam minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) compared to wild type, while only loss of Slt decreased MICs. An sltB1 mltB double mutant had elevated ?-lactam MICs compared to either the sltB1 or mltB single mutants (96 vs. 32 ?g/mL cefotaxime), without changes to AmpC levels. Time-kill assays with ?-lactams suggested that increased MIC correlated with a slower rate of autolysis in the sltB1 mltB mutant - an antisuicide phenotype. Strains lacking multiple mLTs were more sensitive to ?-lactams and up to 16-fold more sensitive to vancomycin, normally incapable of crossing the OM. Multi-mLT mutants were also sensitive to bile salts and osmotic stress, and were hyperbiofilm formers, all phenotypes consistent with cell envelope compromise. Complementation with genes encoding inactive forms of the enzymes - or alternatively, overexpression of Braun's lipoprotein - reversed the mutants' cell envelope damage phenotypes, suggesting that mLTs help to stabilize the OM. We conclude that P. aeruginosa mLTs contribute physically to cell envelope stability, and that Slt is the preferred target for future development of LT inhibitors that could synergize with ?-lactams.

Crystallization and preliminary X-ray study of biosynthetic alanine racemase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1.

Project description:Biosynthetic alanine racemase (AlrPA) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 carrying a His6 tag was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells and purified by Ni(2+)-chelating affinity and anion-exchange chromatography for X-ray crystallographic analysis. Crystals were grown by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at 289?K in a solution consisting of 4%(v/v) Tacsimate pH 5.0, 14%(w/v) polyethylene glycol 3350 with a protein concentration of 8?mg?ml(-1). The crystal diffracted to 2.76?Å resolution and belonged to the orthorhombic space group P212121, with unit-cell parameters a = 74.12, b = 76.97, c = 154.80?Å, ? = ? = ? = 90°.

Intranasal Peptide-Based FpvA-KLH Conjugate Vaccine Protects Mice From Pseudomonas aeruginosa Acute Murine Pneumonia.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen causing acute and chronic respiratory infections associated with morbidity and mortality, especially in patients with cystic fibrosis. Vaccination against P. aeruginosa before colonization may be a solution against these infections and improve the quality of life of at-risk patients. To develop a vaccine against P. aeruginosa, we formulated a novel peptide-based P. aeruginosa subunit vaccine based on the extracellular regions of one of its major siderophore receptors, FpvA. We evaluated the effectiveness and immunogenicity of the FpvA peptides conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) with the adjuvant curdlan in a murine vaccination and challenge model. Immunization with the FpvA-KLH vaccine decreased the bacterial burden and lung edema after P. aeruginosa challenge. Vaccination with FpvA-KLH lead to antigen-specific IgG and IgM antibodies in sera, and IgA antibodies in lung supernatant. FpvA-KLH immunized mice had an increase in recruitment of CD11b+ dendritic cells as well as resident memory CD4+ T cells in the lungs compared to non-vaccinated challenged mice. Splenocytes isolated from vaccinated animals showed that the FpvA-KLH vaccine with the adjuvant curdlan induces antigen-specific IL-17 production and leads to a Th17 type of immune response. These results indicate that the intranasal FpvA-KLH conjugate vaccine can elicit both mucosal and systemic immune responses. These observations suggest that the intranasal peptide-based FpvA-KLH conjugate vaccine with curdlan is a potential vaccine candidate against P. aeruginosa pneumonia.

Expression, purification and preliminary X-ray crystallographic analysis of nitroalkane oxidase (NAO) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:Nitroalkane oxidase (NAO) is a flavin-dependent enzyme which catalyses the oxidation of nitroalkanes to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones, nitrite and hydrogen peroxide. In order to better understand the structure and function of this enzyme, NAO from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was purified and crystallized as a native and a selenomethionine-substituted (SeMet) enzyme. Both crystals diffracted to a resolution of 1.9 Å and belonged to the primitive orthorhombic space group P2?, with unit-cell parameters a = 70.06, b = 55.43, c = 87.74 Å, ? = 96.56° for native NAO and a = 69.89, b = 54.83, c = 88.20 Å, ? = 95.79° for SeMet NAO. Assuming the presence of two molecules in the asymmetric unit in both crystals, the Matthews coefficients (VM) for native and SeMet NAO were calculated to be 2.30 and 2.48 Å³ Da?¹, with estimated solvent contents of 46.50 and 50.37%, respectively.
