Abstract
CysA, the ATPase subunit of a putative sulfate ATP-binding cassette transport system of the gram-positive thermoacidophilic bacterium Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius, was structurally characterized at a resolution of 2.0 Angstroms in the absence of nucleotides. In line with previous findings on ABC-ATPases the structures of the two monomers (called CysA-1 and CysA-2) in the asymmetric unit differ substantially in the arrangement of their individual (sub)domains. CysA-2 was found as a physiological dimer composed of two crystallographically related monomers that are arranged in an open state. Interestingly, while the regulatory domain of CysA-2 packs against its opposing domain that of CysA-1 undergoes a conformational change and, in the dimer, would interfere with the opposing monomer thereby preventing solute translocation. Whether this conformational state is used for regulatory purposes will be discussed.
Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Structure of CysA: (a) Ribbon diagram of the CysA monomer. The catalytic subdomain of the nucleotide-binding domain is shown in purple, the helical subdomain in red, the linker region in yellow and the regulatory domain in blue (distal β-sandwich) and royal blue (proximal β-sandwich). The location of conserved sequence motifs is indicated by capital letters: ‘Walker’ sites (A, B), D-loop, Q-loop, ABC signature (LSQ), and H motif. (b) Stereo representation of the CysA-2 dimer found in an open state. The monomers were shown in blue and red. For comparison CysA-2 was superimposed with the MalK[eco](open) structure at the front side (red) and with the MalK[eco](close) structure at the back side (green). In addition, the regulatory domains of the CysA-1 monomers are shown in yellow after superimposing with the catalytic domain. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 have the same orientation and were generated using BOBSCRIPT [32].
Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Structural variability of the regulatory domains of CysA-1 (light-blue), CysA-2 (blue), MalK[tli] (yellow) and GlcV (pink). The regulatory domains undergo different conformational changes relative to the catalytic domain; however, the rotation axis and the direction of translation are conserved. The rotation axis passes perpendicular through helix L2 and the translation occurs parallel to the rotation axis.
