摘要

Bacterial surface layer (S-layer) proteins are excellent candidates for in vivo and in vitro nanobiotechnological applications because of their ability to self-assemble into two-dimensional lattices that form the outermost layer of many Eubacteria and most Archaea species. Despite this potential, knowledge about their molecular architecture is limited. In this study, we investigated SlpA, the S-layer protein of the potentially probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus brevis ATCC 8287 by cysteine-scanning mutagenesis and chemical modification. We generated a series of 46 mutant proteins by replacing single amino acids with cysteine, which is not present in the wild-type protein. Most of the replaced amino acids were located in the self-assembly domain (residues 179 to 435) that likely faces the outer surface of the lattice. As revealed by electron microscopy, all the mutant proteins were able to form self-assembly products identical to that of the wild type, proving that this replacement does not dramatically alter the protein conformation. The surface accessibility of the sulfhydryl groups introduced was studied with two maleimide-containing marker molecules, TMM(PEG)12 (molecular weight [MW], 2,360) and AlexaFluor488-maleimide (MW = 720), using both monomeric proteins in solution and proteins allowed to self-assemble on cell wall fragments. Using the acquired data and available domain information, we assigned the mutated residues into four groups according to their location in the protein monomer and lattice structure: outer surface of the lattice (9 residues), inner surface of the lattice (9), protein interior (12), and protein-protein interface/pore regions (16). This information is essential, e.g., in the development of therapeutic and other health-related applications of Lactobacillus S-layers.
