ABSTRACT
|
|
|
| |
|
A protein superfamily with a "Domain of Unknown Function,", DUF3349
(PF11829), is present predominately in Mycobacterium and Rhodococcus bacterial
species suggesting that these proteins may have a biological function unique to
these bacteria. We previously reported the inaugural structure of a DUF3349
superfamily member, Mycobacterium tuberculosis Rv0543c. Here, we report the
structures determined for three additional DUF3349 proteins: Mycobacterium
smegmatis MSMEG_1063 and MSMEG_1066 and Mycobacterium abscessus MAB_3403c. Like
Rv0543c, the NMR solution structure of MSMEG_1063 revealed a monomeric five
α-helix bundle with a similar overall topology. Conversely, the crystal
structure of MSMEG_1066 revealed a five α-helix protein with a strikingly
different topology and a tetrameric quaternary structure that was confirmed by
size exclusion chromatography. The NMR solution structure of a fourth member of
the DUF3349 superfamily, MAB_3403c, with 18 residues missing at the N-terminus,
revealed a monomeric α-helical protein with a folding topology similar to the
three C-terminal helices in the protomer of the MSMEG_1066 tetramer. These
structures, together with a GREMLIN-based bioinformatics analysis of the DUF3349
primary amino acid sequences, suggest two subfamilies within the DUF3349 family.
The division of the DUF3349 into two distinct subfamilies would have been lost
if structure solution had stopped with the first structure in the DUF3349
family, highlighting the insights generated by solving multiple structures
within a protein superfamily. Future studies will determine if the structural
diversity at the tertiary and quaternary levels in the DUF3349 protein
superfamily have functional roles in Mycobacteria and Rhodococcus species with
potential implications for structure-based drug discovery.
