STRUCTURE OF AGROBACTERIUM TUMEFACIENS VIRB8 PROTEIN

Overview

Bacterial type IV secretion systems (T4SS) translocate DNA and/or proteins, to recipient cells, thus providing a mechanism for conjugative transfer of, genetic material and bacterial pathogenesis. Here we describe the first, structure of a core component from the archetypal Agrobacterium, tumefaciens T4SS: the 2.2-A resolution crystal structure of the VirB8, periplasmic domain (pVirB8(AT)). VirB8 forms a dimer in the crystal, and, we identify residues likely important for stabilization of the dimer, interface. Structural comparison of pVirB8(AT) with Brucella suis VirB8, confirms that the monomers have a similar fold. In addition, the, pVirB8(AT) dimer superimposes very closely on the B. suis VirB8 dimer, supporting the proposal that dimer formation in the crystal reflects, ... [(full description)]
