Structure of the membrane protein fhac: a member of the omp85/tpsb transporter family

Overview

In Gram-negative bacteria and eukaryotic organelles, beta-barrel proteins, of the outer membrane protein 85-two-partner secretion B (Omp85-TpsB), superfamily are essential components of protein transport machineries. The, TpsB transporter FhaC mediates the secretion of Bordetella pertussis, filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA). We report the 3.15 A crystal structure of, FhaC. The transporter comprises a 16-stranded beta barrel that is occluded, by an N-terminal alpha helix and an extracellular loop and a periplasmic, module composed of two aligned polypeptide-transport-associated (POTRA), domains. Functional data reveal that FHA binds to the POTRA 1 domain via, its N-terminal domain and likely translocates the adhesin-repeated motifs, in an extended hairpin conformation, with folding occurring at the cell, surface. General features of the mechanism obtained here are likely to, apply throughout the superfamily.
