Crystal structure of PedB
Overview
BACKGROUND: Pediocin-like bacteriocins, ribosomally-synthesized, antimicrobial peptides, are generally coexpressed with cognate immunity, proteins in order to protect the bacteriocin-producer from its own, bacteriocin. As a step for understanding the mode of action of immunity, proteins, we determined the crystal structure of PedB, a pediocin-like, immunity protein conferring immunity to pediocin PP-1. RESULTS: The 1.6 A, crystal structure of PedB reveals that PedB consists of an antiparallel, four-helix bundle with a flexible C-terminal end. PedB shows structural, similarity to an immunity protein against enterocin A (EntA-im) but some, disparity to an immunity protein against carnobacteriocin B2 (ImB2) in, both the C-terminal conformation and the local structure constructed by, alpha3, alpha4, and their connecting loop. Structure-inspired mutational, studies reveal that deletion of the last seven residues of the C-terminus, of PedB almost abolished its immunity activity. CONCLUSION: The fact that, PedB, EntA-im, and ImB2 share a four-helix bundle structure strongly, suggests the structural conservation of this motif in the pediocin-like, immunity proteins. The significant difference in the core structure and, the C-terminal conformation provides a structural basis for the, classification of pediocin-like immunity proteins. Our mutational study, using C-terminal-shortened PedBs and the investigation of primary sequence, of the C-terminal region, propose that several polar or charged residues, in the extreme C-terminus of PedB which is crucial for the immunity are, involved in the specific recognition of pediocin PP-1.
