FliN 是许多细菌鞭毛基体 C 环的主要成分。它在每个鞭毛中存在 >100 个拷贝,并与 FliM 和 FliG 一起形成开关复合体,在鞭毛组装、旋转和顺时针-逆时针转换中发挥作用。 FliN 对于鞭毛组装和转换至关重要,但其确切功能尚不清楚。蛋白质的 C 端部分最为保守,且对功能最重要;来自海栖热菌的 FliN C 端结构域的晶体结构揭示了主要由 β 链形成的鞍形二聚体(P. N. Brown、M. A. A. Mathews、L. A. Joss、C. P. Hill 和 D. F. Blair, J. Bacteriol.187:2890-2902, 2005)。平衡沉降研究表明,FliN 可以形成稳定的四聚体,并且 FliM1FliN4 复合物也是稳定的。在这里,我们通过使用定向交联检查了 FliN 亚基的组织。 Cys残基被单独或成对地引入FliN中的不同位置,并通过氧化诱导二硫键交联。在二聚体末端附近的某些位置和结构未表征的 N 端结构域中的某些位置观察到有效的交联。两个半胱氨酸取代的某些组合产生高产率的交联四聚体。结果支持了一个模型,其中 FliN 组织成环形四聚体,部分通过涉及 N 端结构域的接触来稳定。电子显微镜重建显示 C 环底部有一个凸起,其大小和形状与假设的 FliN 四聚体非常匹配。
FliN is a major constituent of the C ring in the flagellar basal body of many bacteria. It is present in >100 copies per flagellum and together with FliM and FliG forms the switch complex that functions in flagellar assembly, rotation, and clockwise-counterclockwise switching. FliN is essential for flagellar assembly and switching, but its precise functions are unknown. The C-terminal part of the protein is best conserved and most important for function; a crystal structure of this C-terminal domain of FliN fromThermotoga maritimarevealed a saddle-shaped dimer formed mainly from β strands (P. N. Brown, M. A. A. Mathews, L. A. Joss, C. P. Hill, and D. F. Blair, J. Bacteriol.187:2890-2902, 2005). Equilibrium sedimentation studies showed that FliN can form stable tetramers and that a FliM1FliN4complex is also stable. Here, we have examined the organization of FliN subunits by using targeted cross-linking. Cys residues were introduced at various positions in FliN, singly or in pairs, and disulfide cross-linking was induced by oxidation. Efficient cross-linking was observed for certain positions near the ends of the dimer and for some positions in the structurally uncharacterized N-terminal domain. Certain combinations of two Cys replacements gave a high yield of cross-linked tetramer. The results support a model in which FliN is organized in doughnut-shaped tetramers, stabilized in part by contacts involving the N-terminal domain. Electron microscopic reconstructions show a bulge at the bottom of the C-ring whose size and shape are a close match for the hypothesized FliN tetramer.
