A hallmark of Gram-negative bacteria is an asymmetric outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) in the extracellular leaflet. LPS molecules consist of lipid A, which is connected to the inner and outer core oligosaccharides. This LPS core structure is extended in the periplasm by the O antigen, a variable and serotype-defining polysaccharide. In the ABC transporter-dependent LPS biosynthesis pathway, the WzmWzt transporter secretes the complete O antigen across the inner membrane for ligation to the LPS core. In some O antigen transporters, the nucleotide-binding domain of Wzt is fused C-terminally to a carbohydrate-binding domain (CBD) that interacts with the O antigen chain. Here, we present the crystal structure of the Aquifex aeolicus CBD that reveals a conserved flat and a variable twisted jelly-roll surface. The CBD dimer is stabilized by mutual β strand exchange. Microbial glycan array binding studies with the isolated CBD provide insights into its interaction with complex carbohydrates.

O抗原ABC转运蛋白碳水化合物结合域的结构和配体结合特性。

革兰氏阴性菌的一个标志是细胞外小叶中含有脂多糖 (LPS) 的不对称外膜。LPS 分子由脂质 A 组成,脂质 A 与内核和外核寡糖相连。这种 LPS 核心结构通过 O 抗原在周质中延伸,O 抗原是一种可变的和血清型定义的多糖。在 ABC 转运蛋白依赖的 LPS 生物合成途径中,WzmWzt 转运蛋白通过内膜分泌完整的 O 抗原以连接到 LPS 核心。在一些 O 抗原转运蛋白中,Wzt 的核苷酸结合域在 C 端融合到与 O 抗原链相互作用的碳水化合物结合域 (CBD)。在这里,我们展示了 Aquifex aeolicus CBD 的晶体结构,它揭示了一个保守的平面和一个可变的扭曲果冻卷表面。CBD 二聚体通过相互 β 链交换而稳定。使用分离的 CBD 进行的微生物聚糖阵列结合研究提供了对其与复杂碳水化合物相互作用的见解。
