The Aer2 receptor from Pseudomonas aeruginosa has an O2-binding PAS-heme domain that stabilizes O2 via a Trp residue in the distal heme pocket. Trp rotates ~90° to bond with ligand and initiate signaling. Although the isolated PAS domain is monomeric, both in solution and in a cyanide-bound crystal structure, an unliganded structure forms a dimer. An overlay of the two structures suggests possible signaling motions but also predicts implausible clashes at the dimer interface when ligand is bound. Moreover, in a full-length Aer2 dimer, PAS is sandwiched between multiple N- and C-terminal HAMP domains, which would feasibly restrict PAS motions. To explore the PAS dimer interface and signal-induced motions in full-length Aer2, we introduced Cys substitutions and used thiol-reactive probes to examine in vivo accessibility and residue proximities under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. In vivo, PAS dimers were retained in full-length Aer2 in both the presence and absence of O2, and the dimer interface was consistent with the isolated PAS dimer structure. O2-mediated changes were also consistent with structural predictions where the PAS N-terminal caps move apart and the C-terminal DxT region moves closer together. The DxT motif links PAS to the C-terminal HAMP domains and was critical for PAS-HAMP signaling. Removing the N-terminal HAMP domains altered the distal PAS dimer interface and prevented signaling, even after signal-on lesions were introduced into PAS. The N-terminal HAMP domains thus facilitate the O2-dependent shift of PAS to the signal-on conformation, clarifying their role upstream of the PAS sensing domain.
