Peptide binding to a bacterial signal peptidase visualized by peptide tethering and carrier-driven crystallization
Bacterial type I signal peptidases (SPases) are membrane-anchored serine proteases that process the signal peptides of proteins exported via the Sec and Tat secretion systems. Despite their crucial importance for bacterial virulence and their attractiveness as drug targets, only one such enzyme, LepB from Escherichia coli, has been structurally characterized, and the transient nature of peptide...
متن کاملCrystal structure of a bacterial signal Peptide peptidase.
Signal peptide peptidase (Spp) is the enzyme responsible for cleaving the remnant signal peptides left behind in the membrane following Sec-dependent protein secretion. Spp activity appears to be present in all cell types, eukaryotic, prokaryotic and archaeal. Here we report the first structure of a signal peptide peptidase, that of the Escherichia coli SppA (SppA(EC)). SppA(EC) forms a tetrame...
متن کاملCrystal structure of a bacterial signal peptidase apoenzyme: implications for signal peptide binding and the Ser-Lys dyad mechanism.
We report here the x-ray crystal structure of a soluble catalytically active fragment of the Escherichia coli type I signal peptidase (SPase-(Delta2-75)) in the absence of inhibitor or substrate (apoenzyme). The structure was solved by molecular replacement and refined to 2.4 A resolution in a different space group (P4(1)2(1)2) from that of the previously published acyl-enzyme inhibitor-bound s...
متن کاملThe Drosophila Crumbs signal peptide is unusually long and is a substrate for signal peptide peptidase.
N-terminal signal sequences mediate nascent protein targeting to and protein insertion into the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. They are typically 15-30 amino acid residues long with a core hydrophobic region flanked by an N-terminal (n-) and a C-terminal region. Following cleavage by signal peptidase, some of the resulting signal peptides are further processed by signal peptide peptidas...
متن کاملBunyamwera orthobunyavirus glycoprotein precursor is processed by cellular signal peptidase and signal peptide peptidase.
The M genome segment of Bunyamwera virus (BUNV)-the prototype of both the Bunyaviridae family and the Orthobunyavirus genus-encodes the glycoprotein precursor (GPC) that is proteolytically cleaved to yield two viral structural glycoproteins, Gn and Gc, and a nonstructural protein, NSm. The cleavage mechanism of orthobunyavirus GPCs and the host proteases involved have not been clarified. In thi...
