Compounds targeting disulfide bond forming enzyme DsbB of Gram-negative bacteria
In bacteria, disulfide bonds confer stability on many proteins exported to the cell envelope or beyond. These proteins include numerous bacterial virulence factors, and thus bacterial enzymes that promote disulfide bond formation represent targets for compounds inhibiting bacterial virulence. Here, we describe a new target- and cell-based screening methodology for identifying compounds that inh...
متن کاملDsbB catalyzes disulfide bond formation de novo.
DsbA and DsbB are responsible for disulfide bond formation. DsbA is the direct donor of disulfides, and DsbB oxidizes DsbA. DsbB has the unique ability to generate disulfides by quinone reduction. It is thought that DsbB oxidizes DsbA via thiol disulfide exchange. In this mechanism, a disulfide is formed across the N-terminal pair of cysteines (Cys-41/Cys-44) in DsbB by quinone reduction. This ...
متن کاملProtein disulfide bond generation in Escherichia coli DsbB–DsbA
Protein disulfide bond formation is catalyzed by a series of Dsb enzymes present in the periplasm of Escherichia coli. The crystal structure of the DsbB-DsbA-ubiquinone ternary complex provided important insights into mechanisms of the de novo disulfide bond generation cooperated by DsbB and ubiquinone and of the disulfide bond shuttle from DsbB to DsbA. The structural basis for prevention of t...
متن کاملCrystal Structure of the DsbB-DsbA Complex Reveals a Mechanism of Disulfide Bond Generation
Oxidation of cysteine pairs to disulfide requires cellular factors present in the bacterial periplasmic space. DsbB is an E. coli membrane protein that oxidizes DsbA, a periplasmic dithiol oxidase. To gain insight into disulfide bond formation, we determined the crystal structure of the DsbB-DsbA complex at 3.7 A resolution. The structure of DsbB revealed four transmembrane helices and one shor...
متن کاملA water-soluble DsbB variant that catalyzes disulfide bond formation in vivo
Escherichia coli DsbB is a transmembrane enzyme that catalyzes the reoxidation of the periplasmic oxidase DsbA by ubiquinone. Here, we sought to convert membrane-bound DsbB into a water-soluble biocatalyst by leveraging a previously described method for in vivo solubilization of integral membrane proteins (IMPs). When solubilized DsbB variants were coexpressed with an export-defective copy of D...
