The bacterial cell envelope contains the stress-bearing peptidoglycan layer, which is enlarged during cell growth and division by membrane-anchored synthases guided by cytoskeletal elements. In Escherichia coli, the major peptidoglycan synthase PBP1A requires stimulation by the outer-membrane-anchored lipoprotein LpoA. Whereas the C-terminal domain of LpoA interacts with PBP1A to stimulate its peptide crosslinking activity, little is known about the role of the N-terminal domain. Herein we report its NMR structure, which adopts an all-α-helical fold comprising a series of helix-turn-helix tetratricopeptide-repeat (TPR)-like motifs. NMR spectroscopy of full-length LpoA revealed two extended flexible regions in the C-terminal domain and limited, if any, flexibility between the N- and C-terminal domains. Analytical ultracentrifugation and small-angle X-ray scattering results are consistent with LpoA adopting an elongated shape, with dimensions sufficient to span from the outer membrane through the periplasm to interact with the peptidoglycan synthase PBP1A. LpoA’s N-terminal domain features an all-α-helical fold similar to TPR domains The C-terminal domain of E. coli LpoA contains two extensive flexible regions Full-length LpoA adopts an elongated structure with low interdomain flexibility LpoA can span the periplasm to stimulate the peptidoglycan synthase PBP1A Jean et al. determine the NMR structure of LpoA N-terminal domain and identify two unique flexible regions in the C-terminal domain. SAXS data suggest little flexibility between the two domains leading to an elongated shape for the full-length protein, required in the activation of peptidoglycan synthase PBP1A.
