We describe importance of the characteristic segment in ATPase domain of DnaK chaperone which is present in all gram-negative bacteria but is absent in all gram-positive bacteria. In vitro studies, ATPase activity, luciferase-refolding activity, and surface plasmon resonance analyses, demonstrated that a segment-deletion mutant DnaKDelta74-96 became defective in the cooperation with the co-chaperones DnaJ and GrpE. In addition, in vivo complementation assay showed that expression of DnaKDelta74-96 could not rescue the viability of Escherichia coli DeltadnaK mutant at 43 degrees C. Consequently, we suggest evolutionary significance for this DnaK ATPase domain segment in gram-negative bacteria towards the DnaK chaperone system.
我们描述了DnaK伴侣蛋白ATP酶结构域中特征性片段的重要性,该片段存在于所有革兰氏阴性菌中,而在所有革兰氏阳性菌中均不存在。体外研究、ATP酶活性、荧光素酶复性活性及表面等离子体共振分析表明,片段缺失突变体DnaKDelta74-96在与共伴侣蛋白DnaJ和GrpE的协作中出现缺陷。此外,体内互补试验表明,DnaKDelta74-96的表达无法挽救大肠杆菌DeltadnaK突变体在43℃时的生存能力。因此,我们认为革兰氏阴性菌中该DnaK ATP酶结构域片段对于DnaK伴侣蛋白系统具有进化意义。
