Comparing system-specific chaperone interactions with their Tat dependent redox enzyme substrates.

ABSTRACT: Redox enzyme substrates of the twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system contain a RR-motif in their leader peptide and require the assistance of chaperones, redox enzyme maturation proteins (REMPs). Here various regions of the RR-containing oxidoreductase subunit (leader peptide, full preprotein with and without a leader cleavage site, mature protein) were assayed for interaction with their REMPs. All REMPs bound their preprotein substrates independent of the cleavage site. Some showed binding to either the leader or mature region, whereas in one case only the preprotein bound its REMP. The absence of Tat also influenced the amount of chaperone-substrate interaction.

Project description:BackgroundRedox enzyme maturation proteins (REMPs) describe a diverse family of prokaryotic chaperones involved in the biogenesis of anaerobic complex iron sulfur molybdoenzyme (CISM) respiratory systems. Many REMP family studies have focused on NarJ subfamily members from Escherichia coli: NarJ, NarW, DmsD, TorD and YcdY. The aim of this bioinformatics study was to expand upon the evolution, distribution and genetic association of these 5 REMP members within 130 genome sequenced taxonomically diverse species representing 324 Prokaryotic sequences. NarJ subfamily member diversity was examined at the phylum-species level and at the amino acid/nucleotide level to determine how close their genetic associations were between their respective CISM systems within phyla.ResultsThis study revealed that NarJ members possessed unique motifs that distinguished Gram-negative from Gram-positive/Archaeal species and identified a strict genetic association with its nitrate reductase complex (narGHI) operon compared to all other members. NarW appears to be found specifically in Gammaproteobacteria. DmsD also showed close associations with the dimethylsulfoxide reductase (dmsABC) operon compared to TorD. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that YcdY has recently evolved from DmsD and that YcdY has likely diverged into 2 subfamilies linked to Zn- dependent alkaline phosphatase (ycdX) operons and a newly identified operon containing part of Zn-metallopeptidase FtsH complex component (hflC) and NADH-quinone dehydrogenase (mdaB). TorD demonstrated the greatest diversity in operon association. TorD was identifed within operons from either trimethylamine-N-oxide reductase (torAC) or formate dehydrogenase (fdhGHI), where each type of TorD had a unique motif. Additionally a subgroup of dmsD and torD members were also linked to operons with biotin sulfoxide (bisC) and polysulfide reductase (nrfD) indicating a potential role in the maturation of diverse CISM.ConclusionExamination of diverse prokaryotic NarJ subfamily members demonstrates that the evolution and genetic association of each member is uniquely biased by its CISM operon association.
