Identification and structural basis of binding to host lung glycogen by streptococcal virulence factors.

  ABSTRACT  
 
The ability of pathogenic bacteria to recognize host glycans is often essential to their virulence. Here we report structure-function studies of previously uncharacterized glycogen-binding modules in the surface-anchored pullulanases from Streptococcus pneumoniae (SpuA) and Streptococcus pyogenes (PulA). Multivalent binding to glycogen leads to a strong interaction with alveolar type II cells in mouse lung tissue. X-ray crystal structures of the binding modules reveal a novel fusion of tandem modules into single, bivalent functional domains. In addition to indicating a structural basis for multivalent attachment, the structure of the SpuA modules in complex with carbohydrate provides insight into the molecular basis for glycogen specificity. This report provides the first evidence that intracellular lung glycogen may be a novel target of pathogenic streptococci and thus provides a rationale for the identification of the streptococcal alpha-glucan-metabolizing machinery as virulence factors.

Figure 2.
(a) T. maritima CBM27. (b) T. maritima CBM41. (c) SpyDX. (d) SpnDX. The following solutions were spotted on a nitrocellulose membrane: a1, amylose; a2, amylopectin; a3, pullulan; a4, dextran; a5, glycogen; b1, oat spelt xylan; b2, arabinogalactan; b3, pachyman; b4, glycerol; b5, thyroglobulin; c1, fetuin; c2, asialofetuin; c3, mucin type IS; c4, mucin type II; c5, mucin type III; d1, heparin; d2, chondroitin sulfate; d3, hyaluronic acid; d4, aggrecan; d5, proteoglycan. The ability of glycogen to interact with the nitrocellulose membrane is unknown, which may account for the weak signal produced in this experiment.

Ligand (yellow) and binding site residues (gray) are shown as sticks. (c,d) Schematics of ligand interactions with SpnDX-1 (c) and SpnDX-2 (d). (e,f) Structural overlap of the individual CBM41s, CBM41-1 (e) and CBM41-2 (f), from SpnDX (blue) and SpyDX (green). Modules are shown as C traces and conserved binding site residues are shown as sticks.

The most recent references are shown first. 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. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
