ABSTRACT
|
|
|
| |
|
Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Staphylococcus aureus secrete virulence factors
via type VII protein secretion (T7S), a system that intriguingly requires all of
its secretion substrates for activity. To gain insights into T7S function, we
used structural approaches to guide studies of the putative translocase EccC, a
unique enzyme with three ATPase domains, and its secretion substrate EsxB. The
crystal structure of EccC revealed that the ATPase domains are joined by
linker/pocket interactions that modulate its enzymatic activity. EsxB binds via
its signal sequence to an empty pocket on the C-terminal ATPase domain, which is
accompanied by an increase in ATPase activity. Surprisingly, substrate binding
does not activate EccC allosterically but, rather, by stimulating its
multimerization. Thus, the EsxB substrate is also an integral T7S component,
illuminating a mechanism that helps to explain interdependence of substrates,
and suggests a model in which binding of substrates modulates their coordinate
release from the bacterium.
