TRANSLOCATOR DOMAIN OF AUTOTRANSPORTER NALP FROM NEISSERIA MENINGITIDIS
Overview
Autotransporters are virulence-related proteins of Gram-negative bacteria, that are secreted via an outer-membrane-based C-terminal extension, the, translocator domain. This domain supposedly is sufficient for the, transport of the N-terminal passenger domain across the outer membrane. We, present here the crystal structure of the in vitro-folded translocator, domain of the autotransporter NalP from Neisseria meningitidis, which, reveals a 12-stranded beta-barrel with a hydrophilic pore of 10 x 12.5 A, that is filled by an N-terminal alpha-helix. The domain has pore activity, in vivo and in vitro. Our data are consistent with the model of, passenger-domain transport through the hydrophilic channel within the, beta-barrel, and inconsistent with a model for transport through a central, channel formed by an oligomer of translocator domains. However, the, dimensions of the pore imply translocation of the secreted domain in an, unfolded form. An alternative model, possibly covering the transport of, folded domains, is that passenger-domain transport involves the Omp85, complex, the machinery required for membrane insertion of outer-membrane, proteins, on which autotransporters are dependent.
