摘要

Many Gram-negative bacterial species use contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) systems to compete with neighboring cells. CDI+ strains express cell-surface CdiA effector proteins, which carry a toxic C-terminal region (CdiA-CT) that is cleaved from the effector upon transfer into the periplasm of target bacteria. The released CdiA-CT consists of two domains. The C-terminal domain is typically a nuclease that inhibits cell growth, and the N-terminal "cytoplasm-entry" domain mediates toxin translocation into the target-cell cytosol. Here, we use NMR and circular dichroism spectroscopic approaches to probe the structure, stability, and dynamics of the cytoplasm-entry domain from Escherichia coli STEC_MH1813. Chemical shift analysis reveals that the CdiA-CTMHI1813 entry domain is composed of a C-terminal helical bundle and a dynamic N-terminal region containing two disulfide linkages. Disruption of the disulfides by mutagenesis or chemical reduction destabilizes secondary structure over the N-terminus, but has no effect on the C-terminal helices. Although critical for N-terminal structure, the disulfides have only modest effects on global thermodynamic stability, and the entry domain exhibits characteristics of a molten globule. We find that the disulfides form in vivo as the entry domain dwells in the periplasm of inhibitor cells prior to target-cell recognition. CdiA-CTMHI813 variants lacking either disulfide still kill target bacteria, but disruption of both bonds abrogates growth inhibition activity. We propose that the entry domain's dynamic structural features are critical for function. In its molten globule-like state, the domain resists degradation after delivery, yet remains pliable enough to unfold for membrane translocation. (C) 2019 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
