Antibiotic metabolites and antimicrobial peptides mediate competition between bacterial species. Many of them hijack inner and outer membrane proteins to enter cells. Sensitivity of enteric bacteria to multiple peptide antibiotics is controlled by the single inner membrane protein SbmA. To establish the molecular mechanism of peptide transport by SbmA and related BacA, we determined their cryo–electron microscopy structures at 3.2 and 6 Å local resolution, respectively. The structures show a pre ...[more]

Impact of nanodisc lipid composition on cell-free expression of proton-coupled folate transporter.

Project description:The Proton-Coupled Folate Transporter (PCFT) is a transmembrane transport protein that controls the absorption of dietary folates in the small intestine. PCFT also mediates uptake of chemotherapeutically used antifolates into tumor cells. PCFT has been identified within lipid rafts observed in phospholipid bilayers of plasma membranes, a micro environment that is altered in tumor cells. The present study aimed at investigating the impact of different lipids within Lipid-protein nanodiscs (LPNs), discoidal lipid structures stabilized by membrane scaffold proteins, to yield soluble PCFT expression in an E. coli lysate-based cell-free transcription/translation system. In the absence of detergents or lipids, we observed PCFT quantitatively as precipitate in this system. We then explored the ability of LPNs to support solubilized PCFT expression when present during in-vitro translation. LPNs consisted of either dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC), palmitoyl-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine (POPC), or dimyristoyl phosphatidylglycerol (DMPG). While POPC did not lead to soluble PCFT expression, both DMPG and DMPC supported PCFT translation directly into LPNs, the latter in a concentration dependent manner. The results obtained through this study provide insights into the lipid preferences of PCFT. Membrane-embedded or solubilized PCFT will enable further studies with diverse biophysical approaches to enhance the understanding of the structure and molecular mechanism of folate transport through PCFT.

Structural ensemble of a glutamate transporter homologue in lipid nanodisc environment.

Project description:Glutamate transporters are cation-coupled secondary active membrane transporters that clear the neurotransmitter L-glutamate from the synaptic cleft. These transporters are homotrimers, with each protomer functioning independently by an elevator-type mechanism, in which a mobile transport domain alternates between inward- and outward-oriented states. Using single-particle cryo-EM we have determined five structures of the glutamate transporter homologue GltTk, a Na+- L-aspartate symporter, embedded in lipid nanodiscs. Dependent on the substrate concentrations used, the protomers of the trimer adopt a variety of asymmetrical conformations, consistent with the independent movement. Six of the 15 resolved protomers are in a hitherto elusive state of the transport cycle in which the inward-facing transporters are loaded with Na+ ions. These structures explain how substrate-leakage is prevented - a strict requirement for coupled transport. The belt protein of the lipid nanodiscs bends around the inward oriented protomers, suggesting that membrane deformations occur during transport.

Spontaneous Lipid Nanodisc Fomation by Amphiphilic Polymethacrylate Copolymers.

Project description:There is a growing interest in the use of lipid bilayer nanodiscs for various biochemical and biomedical applications. Among the different types of nanodiscs, the unique features of synthetic polymer-based nanodiscs have attracted additional interest. A styrene-maleic acid (SMA) copolymer demonstrated to form lipid nanodiscs has been used for structural biology related studies on membrane proteins. However, the application of SMA polymer based lipid nanodiscs is limited because of the strong absorption of the aromatic group interfering with various experimental measurements. Thus, there is considerable interest in the development of other molecular frameworks for the formation of polymer-based lipid nanodiscs. In this study, we report the first synthesis and characterization of a library of polymethacrylate random copolymers as alternatives to SMA polymer. In addition, we experimentally demonstrate the ability of these polymers to form lipid bilayer nanodiscs through the fragmentation of lipid vesicles by means of light scattering, electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and solution and solid-state NMR experiments. We further demonstrate a unique application of the newly developed polymer for kinetics and structural characterization of the aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide (also known as amylin) within the lipid bilayer of the polymer nanodiscs using thioflavin-T-based fluorescence and circular dichroism experiments. Our results demonstrate that the reported new styrene-free polymers can be used in high-throughput biophysical experiments. Therefore, we expect that the new polymer nanodiscs will be valuable in the structural studies of amyloid proteins and membrane proteins by various biophysical techniques.

Structure of a proton-dependent lipid transporter involved in lipoteichoic acids biosynthesis.

Project description:Lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) are essential cell-wall components in Gram-positive bacteria, including the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus, contributing to cell adhesion, cell division and antibiotic resistance. Genetic evidence has suggested that LtaA is the flippase that mediates the translocation of the lipid-linked disaccharide that anchors LTA to the cell membrane, a rate-limiting step in S. aureus LTA biogenesis. Here, we present the structure of LtaA, describe its flipping mechanism and show its functional relevance for S. aureus fitness. We demonstrate that LtaA is a proton-coupled antiporter flippase that contributes to S. aureus survival under physiological acidic conditions. Our results provide foundations for the development of new strategies to counteract S. aureus infections.

Evidence for a ‘trap-and-flip’ mechanism in a proton-dependent lipid transporter

Project description:Lipid transporters from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) have been reported to play central roles in diverse fundamental biological pathways. However, little is known about their transport mechanisms and only the structure of the MFS lipid transporter LtaA in an outward-facing conformation has been determined. LtaA was shown to be a proton-dependent lipid transporter, essential for anchoring of lipoteichoic acids (LTA) to the plasma membrane of the pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Here we used a ‘repeat swap’ approach in combination with cross-linking analysis to predict an inward-facing state of LtaA, performed molecular dynamics simulations, in vitro and in vivo activity assays, and mutagenesis analysis to characterize outward- and inward-facing conformations of LtaA in lipid membranes. Our results indicate that LtaA catalyze lipid translocation by a “trap-and-flip” mechanism, paving the way for the mechanistic characterization of other MFS lipid transporters.

Nanodisc-to-Nanofiber Transition of Noncovalent Peptide-Phospholipid Assemblies.

Project description:We report a novel molecular architecture of peptide-phospholipid coassemblies. The amphiphilic peptide Ac-18A-NH2 (18A), which was designed to mimic apolipoprotein α-helices, has been shown to form nanodisc structures with phospholipid bilayers. We show that an 18A peptide cysteine substitution at residue 11, 18A[A11C], forms fibrous assemblies with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine at a lipid-to-peptide (L/P) molar ratio of 1, a fiber diameter of 10-20 nm, and a length of more than 1 μm. Furthermore, 18A[A11C] can form nanodiscs with these lipid bilayers at L/P ratios of 4-6. The peptide adopts α-helical structures in both the nanodisc and nanofiber assemblies, although the α-helical bundle structures were evident only in the nanofibers, and the phospholipids of the nanofibers were not lamellar. Fluorescence spectroscopic analysis revealed that the peptide and lipid molecules in the nanofibers exhibited different solvent accessibility and hydrophobicity from those of the nanodiscs. Furthermore, the cysteine substitution at residue 11 did not result in disulfide bond formation, although it was responsible for the nanofiber formation, suggesting that this free sulfhydryl group has an important functional role. Alternatively, the disulfide dimer of 18A[A11C] preferentially formed nanodiscs, even at an L/P ratio of 1. Interconversions of these discoidal and fibrous assemblies were induced by the stepwise addition of free 18A[A11C] or liposomes into the solution. Furthermore, these structural transitions could also be induced by the introduction of oxidative and reductive stresses to the assemblies. Our results demonstrate that heteromolecular lipid-peptide complexes represent a novel approach to the construction of controllable and functional nanoscale assemblies.
