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.

(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.

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.
