Gut bacteria play a key role in health and disease, but the molecular mechanisms underpinning their interaction with the host remain elusive. The serine-rich repeat proteins (SRRPs) are a family of adhesins identified in many Gram-positive pathogenic bacteria. We previously showed that beneficial bacterial species found in the gut also express SRRPs and that SRRP was required for the ability of Lactobacillus reuteri strain to colonize mice. Here, our structural and biochemical data reveal that L. reuteri SRRP adopts a β-solenoid fold not observed in other structurally characterized SRRPs and functions as an adhesin via a pH-dependent mechanism, providing structural insights into the role of these adhesins in biofilm formation of gut symbionts. Lactobacillus reuteri, a Gram-positive bacterial species inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract of vertebrates, displays remarkable host adaptation. Previous mutational analyses of rodent strain L. reuteri 100-23C identified a gene encoding a predicted surface-exposed serine-rich repeat protein (SRRP100-23) that was vital for L. reuteri biofilm formation in mice. SRRPs have emerged as an important group of surface proteins on many pathogens, but no structural information is available in commensal bacteria. Here we report the 2.00-Å and 1.92-Å crystal structures of the binding regions (BRs) of SRRP100-23 and SRRP53608 from L. reuteri ATCC 53608, revealing a unique β-solenoid fold in this important adhesin family. SRRP53608-BR bound to host epithelial cells and DNA at neutral pH and recognized polygalacturonic acid (PGA), rhamnogalacturonan I, or chondroitin sulfate A at acidic pH. Mutagenesis confirmed the role of the BR putative binding site in the interaction of SRRP53608-BR with PGA. Long molecular dynamics simulations showed that SRRP53608-BR undergoes a pH-dependent conformational change. Together, these findings provide mechanistic insights into the role of SRRPs in host–microbe interactions and open avenues of research into the use of biofilm-forming probiotics against clinically important pathogens.
