ABSTRACT
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Restriction-modification (R-M) systems serve to protect the host bacterium from
invading bacteriophage. The multi-component system includes a methyltransferase,
which recognizes and methylates a specific DNA sequence, and an endonuclease
which recognises the same sequence and cleaves within or close to this site. The
endonuclease will only cleave DNA that is unmethylated at the specific site,
thus host DNA is protected while non-host DNA is cleaved. However, following DNA
replication, expression of the endonuclease must be delayed until the host DNA
is appropriately methylated. In many R-M systems, this regulation is achieved at
the transcriptional level via the controller protein, or C-protein. We have
solved the first X-ray structure of an R-M controller protein, C.AhdI, to 1.69 A
resolution using selenomethionine MAD. C.AhdI is part of a Type IIH R-M system
from the pathogen Aeromonas hydrophila. The structure reveals an all-alpha
protein that contains a classical helix-turn-helix (HTH) domain and can be
assigned to the Xre family of transcriptional regulators. Unlike its monomeric
structural homologues, an extended helix generates an interface that results in
dimerisation of the free protein. The dimer is electrostatically polarised and a
positively charged surface corresponds to the position of the DNA recognition
helices of the HTH domain. Comparison with the structure of the lambda cI
ternary complex suggests that C.AhdI activates transcription through direct
contact with the sigma70 subunit of RNA polymerase.

Figure 3. Topology of C.AhdI: a single subunit of the
C.AhdI dimer is shown as a ribbon representation. Each of the
five helices are labelled and coloured individually with all
turns, bends and loops coloured yellow. The HTH motif is
comprised of H2 (the scaffolding helix) and H3 (the recognition
helix), coloured blue and red, and the N and C termini are
labelled N and C, respectively.

Figure 9. Modelling of the interaction between C.AhdI and
region 4 of the s70 subunit: (a) diagram of the crystal
structure 1RIO orientated to show the organisation of the l
repressor (subunits blue and cyan) and the s70 subunit of RNAP
(orange) bound to dsDNA (black and grey).46 (b) Close-up view of
the interacting surfaces between the l repressor and the s70
subunit. The key interacting residues of the l repressor, Glu34
and Asp38, are coloured red and blue, respectively. (c)
Superposition of C.AhdI (green) on the l repressor in the
ternary complex reveals potential interaction contacts with the
s70 subunit mediated through the conserved Glu30 residue (red)
and Phe34 (blue).

Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly
from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be
only a partial list as not all journals are covered by
either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data
so more and more references will be included with time.
