英文摘要
Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer on earth. It is a linear polymer of glucose molecules primarily
formed by vascular plants but also by green algae, bacteria, and even tunicates. Bacterial cellulose is
frequently found in biofilms, which are sessile bacterial communities encased in a 3-dimensional matrix of
polysaccharides, proteinaceous fibers, and nucleic acids. Biofilm bacteria are less susceptible to anti-microbial
treatments and are responsible for about 80% of hospital-derived infections, thereby posing a significant risk to
human health. Developing novel therapeutics to treat or prevent biofilm infections requires a detailed
mechanistic understanding of how the biofilm constituents, in particular polysaccharides, are synthesized and
deposited outside the cell. The proposed research seeks to provide this information.
Bacterial cellulose biosynthesis is an ideal model system to study the mechanism and regulation of exo-
polysaccharide secretion. Gram-negatives produce and secrete cellulose via a multi-subunit complex
consisting of the inner membrane BcsA and BcsB subunits, the periplasmic BcsZ hydrolase, as well as the
outer membrane subunit BcsC. Our previous work provided detailed mechanistic insights into how the inner
membrane-integrated BcsA-B complex elongates the cellulose chain and translocates the polymer across the
plasma membrane. While current data explain how cellulose is extended, we currently have no information on
how cellulose biosynthesis initiates. This question will be addressed biochemically in Aim 1a by reconstituting
the initiation reaction in vitro from cell-free expressed 'uninitiated' cellulose synthase.
BcsA processively elongates cellulose and pushes the polymer into a transmembrane channel formed by its
own membrane-spanning region. Structural snapshots of different cellulose synthase states during cellulose
synthesis and membrane translocation provide insights into conformational changes during this process. Yet a
precise analysis of energetic requirements for and processivity rates of cellulose translocation is currently
missing. We will address these questions on a single molecule level using an optically trapped and catalytically
active BcsA-B complex in Aim 1b.
Past the inner membrane and in Gram-negatives, cellulose must cross the periplasm and the outer membrane
before reaching the biofilm matrix. This section of the translocation path is most likely formed by a direct
interaction of periplasmic and outer membrane components with the BcsA-B complex at the inner membrane.
In Aim 2 we seek to reconstitute outer membrane transport of cellulose from nanodisc and proteoliposome-
reconstituted components for detailed kinetic, biochemical, and interaction studies. This information will
support our efforts to determine the structure of an inner and outer membrane-spanning cellulose synthase
complex as outlined in Aim 3. We will use X-ray crystallography and/or electron microscopy to determine the
structure of individual periplasmic and outer membrane components as well as their complexes with BcsA-B.
