| + | Members of the Staphylococcus aureus phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) peptide family are secreted as functional amyloids that serve diverse roles in pathogenicity and may be present as full-length peptides or as naturally occurring truncations. We recently showed that the activity of PSMalpha3, the most toxic member, stems from the formation of cross-alpha fibrils, which are at variance with the cross-beta fibrils linked with eukaryotic amyloid pathologies. Here, we show that PSMalpha1 and PSMalpha4, involved in biofilm structuring, form canonical cross-beta amyloid fibrils wherein beta-sheets tightly mate through steric zipper interfaces, conferring high stability. Contrastingly, a truncated PSMalpha3 has antibacterial activity, forms reversible fibrils, and reveals two polymorphic and atypical beta-rich fibril architectures. These architectures are radically different from both the cross-alpha fibrils formed by full-length PSMalpha3, and from the canonical cross-beta fibrils. Our results point to structural plasticity being at the basis of the functional diversity exhibited by S. aureus PSMalphas. | ||
