Fecha de publicación: | 2012 | Editor: | Springer Nature | Citación: | Extremophiles (16): 853-861(2012) | Resumen: | The ancient bacterial lineage Thermus spp has a primitive form of outer membrane attached to the cell wall through SlpA, a protein that shows intermediate properties between S-layer proteins and outer membrane (OM) porins. In E. coli and related Proteobacteria, porins are secreted through the BAM (b-barrel assembly machinery)pathway, whose main component is BamA. A homologue to this protein is encoded in all the Thermus spp so far sequenced, so we wondered if this pathway could be responsible for SlpA secretion in this ancient bacterial model. To analyse this hypothesis, we attempted to get mutants on this BamA th of T. thermophilus HB27. Knockout and deletion mutants lacking the last 10 amino acids were not viable, whereas its depletion by means of a BamA antisense RNA lead defective attachment to the cell wall of its OM-like envelope. Such defects were related to defective folding of the SlpA protein that was more sensitive to proteases than in a wild-type strain. A similar phenotype was found in mutants lacking the terminal Phe of SlpA. Further protein–protein interaction assays con-firmed the existence of specific binding between SlpA and BamA th. Taking together, these data suggest that SlpA is secreted through a BAM-like pathway in this ancestral bacterial lineage, supporting an ancient origin of this pathway before the evolution of the Proteobacteria. | Versión del editor: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00792-012-0480-x | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/64361 | DOI: | 10.1007/s00792-012-0480-x | ISSN: | 1431-0651 |
