英文摘要
Antibiotic-resistant pathogens pose a significant threat to human health. The NIH identified several Gram-
negative species of particular concern due to increasing antibiotic resistances. The cell envelope of Gram-
negative bacteria consists of two membranes and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) form an important component of
the extracellular leaflet of the outer membrane. LPS are important cell wall components that control diffusion
across the outer membrane, stabilize the cell envelope, and assist in escaping host immune defenses, among
other functions. Impaired LPS biosynthesis correlates with increased susceptibility to antimicrobial treatments.
LPS contain a conserved core, consisting of lipid-A attached to an oligosaccharide backbone, and a
hypervariable region, called the O antigen. O antigens are primarily linear complex carbohydrates that reduce
the efficacy of complement-mediated cell lysis and phagocytosis as part of the innate immune response. O
antigens are synthesized via two fundamentally different mechanisms. One pathway relies on assembling the
polymers from short oligosaccharides in the periplasm, the other involves moving fully-assembled O antigens
from the cytosolic to the periplasmic side of the inner membrane with the help of an ABC transporter. Not only
is ABC transporter-mediated secretion of O antigens an important process for microbial pathogenicity, the
transport of a substrate several times the size of the ABC transporter itself is fascinating from a molecular
level. Taking advantage of an already determined O antigen-translocating ABC transporter structure, we
propose a structural biology approach to unravel the mechanism of O antigen translocation and to identify
unique features of the O antigen that regulate transporter activity.
ABC transporters use ATP binding and hydrolysis to cycle between conformations that mediate substrate
translocation. Our O antigen ABC transporter structure represents a nucleotide-free conformation, in which the
transporter forms a continuous channel across the membrane that could accommodate a translocating O
antigen. We speculate that conformational changes associated with nucleotide binding induce O antigen
translocation by about 1-2 sugar units per ATP hydrolyzed. To reveal the molecular mechanism of O antigen
translocation, we seek to determine the structure of the ABC transporter in a nucleotide-bound closed
conformation (Aim 1). Further, many bacterial species signal completion of O antigen biosynthesis by
modifying the polymer’s growing end with specific groups, such as carbohydrate, phosphate, or methyl
moieties. These ‘capped O antigens’ can only be exported by transporters containing a carbohydrate-binding
domain (CBD) attached to their nucleotide-binding domain. This domain was removed from our O antigen
transporter to facilitate crystallization. To reveal how the CBD binds its substrate and modulates transporter
functions, we propose to determine the structure and substrate binding properties of the isolated CBD (Aim 2A)
and to determine the architecture of the CBD-containing full-length O antigen transporter (Aim 2B).
