Interaction of the crystalline bacterial cell surface layer protein SbsB and the secondary cell wall polymer of Geobacillus stearothermophilus PV72 assessed by real-time surface plasmon resonance biosensor technology.

ABSTRACT: The interaction between S-layer protein SbsB and the secondary cell wall polymer (SCWP) of Geobacillus stearothermophilus PV72/p2 was investigated by real-time surface plasmon resonance biosensor technology. The SCWP is an acidic polysaccharide that contains N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylmannosamine, and pyruvic acid. For interaction studies, recombinant SbsB (rSbsB) and two truncated forms consisting of either the S-layer-like homology (SLH) domain (3SLH) or the residual part of SbsB were used. Independent of the setup, the data showed that the SLH domain was exclusively responsible for SCWP binding. The interaction was found to be highly specific, since neither the peptidoglycan nor SCWPs from other organisms nor other polysaccharides were recognized. Data analysis from that setup in which 3SLH was immobilized on a sensor chip and SCWP represented the soluble analyte was done in accordance with a model that describes binding of a bivalent analyte to a fixed ligand in terms of an overall affinity for all binding sites. The measured data revealed the presence of at least two binding sites on a single SCWP molecule with a distance of about 14 nm and an overall Kd of 7.7 x 10(-7) M. Analysis of data from the inverted setup in which the SCWP was immobilized on a sensor chip was done in accordance with an extension of the heterogeneous-ligand model, which indicated the existence of three binding sites with low (Kd = 2.6 x 10(-5) M), medium (Kd = 6.1 x 10(-8) M), and high (Kd = 6.7 x 10(-11) M) affinities. Since in this setup 3SLH was the soluble analyte and the presence of small amounts of oligomers in even monomeric protein solutions cannot be excluded, the high-affinity binding site may result from avidity effects caused by binding of at least dimeric 3SLH. Solution competition assays performed with both setups confirmed the specificity of the protein-carbohydrate interaction investigated.

Project description:The surface of Geobacillus stearothermophilus NRS 2004/3a cells is covered by an oblique surface layer (S-layer) composed of glycoprotein subunits. To this S-layer glycoprotein, elongated glycan chains are attached that are composed of [-->2)-alpha-l-Rhap-(1-->3)-beta-l-Rhap-(1-->2)-alpha-L-Rhap-(1-->] repeating units, with a 2-O-methyl modification of the terminal trisaccharide at the nonreducing end of the glycan chain and a core saccharide as linker to the S-layer protein. On sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels, four bands appear, of which three represent glycosylated S-layer proteins. In the present study, nanoelectrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MS) and infrared matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization orthogonal time-of-flight mass spectrometry were adapted for analysis of this high-molecular-mass and water-insoluble S-layer glycoprotein to refine insights into its glycosylation pattern. This is a prerequisite for artificial fine-tuning of S-layer glycans for nanobiotechnological applications. Optimized MS techniques allowed (i) determination of the average masses of three glycoprotein species to be 101.66 kDa, 108.68 kDa, and 115.73 kDa, (ii) assignment of nanoheterogeneity to the S-layer glycans, with the most prevalent variation between 12 and 18 trisaccharide repeating units, and the possibility of extension of the already-known -->3)-alpha-l-Rhap-(1-->3)-alpha-l-Rhap-(1--> core by one additional rhamnose residue, and (iii) identification of a third glycosylation site on the S-layer protein, at position threonine-590, in addition to the known sites threonine-620 and serine-794. The current interpretation of the S-layer glycoprotein banding pattern is that in the 101.66-kDa glycoprotein species only one glycosylation site is occupied, in the 108.68-kDa glycoprotein species two glycosylation sites are occupied, and in the 115.73-kDa glycoprotein species three glycosylation sites are occupied, while the 94.46-kDa band represents nonglycosylated S-layer protein.
