Gram‐negative pathogens like Burkholderia pseudomallei use trimeric autotransporter adhesins such as BpaC as key molecules in their pathogenicity. Our 1.4 Å crystal structure of the membrane‐proximal part of the BpaC head domain shows that the domain is exclusively made of left‐handed parallel β‐roll repeats. This, the largest such structure solved, has two unique features. First, the core, rather than being composed of the canonical hydrophobic Ile and Val, is made up primarily of the hydrophilic Thr and Asn, with two different solvent channels. Second, comparing BpaC to all other left‐handed parallel β‐roll structures showed that the position of the head domain in the protein correlates with the number and type of charged residues. In BpaC, only negatively charged residues face the solvent—in stark contrast to the primarily positive surface charge of the left‐handed parallel β‐roll “type” protein, YadA. We propose extending the definitions of these head domains to include the BpaC‐like head domain as a separate subtype, based on its unusual sequence, position, and charge. We speculate that the function of left‐handed parallel β‐roll structures may differ depending on their position in the structure. The structure of the highly negatively charged C‐terminal head domain of BpaC reveals a novel subtype of left‐handed parallel β roll. This expands the previously described YadA‐like head domains, which are primarily N‐terminal and positively charged. We identified an intricate buried solvent network within a left‐handed parallel β roll due to the hydrophilic nature of its core residues, expanding the structural universe of trimeric autotransporter adhesins. We speculate that the unusual charge is functionally important.
