PA0833 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is recently identified as an OmpA C-like protein that is able to interact with bacterial peptidoglycan (PGN). In this study, we reported the biochemical and structural characterization of the PGN-binding periplasmic-domain of PA0833 (PA0833-PD). Via mutagenesis, key residues responsible for engaging PGN were identified, which also enables us to localize the PGN-binding pocket in a 2.0 Å crystal structure solved in this study. In contrast to its homologous proteins (as represented by AbOmpA-PD of Acinetobacter baumannii) that interact with PGN by directly engaging the DAP (diaminopimelate) moiety, PA0833-PD exhibits an enlarged PGN-binding pocket due to residue insertions and the formation of an extra α-helix in one lateral side of the pocket. Accordingly, single DAP molecule does not show detectable interactions with PA0833-PD in solution, highlighting that other PGN-components, in addition to DAP, are also required to restore the full binding capacity observed between PA0833 and PGN.
铜绿假单胞菌的 PA0833 最近被鉴定为一种 OmpA C 样蛋白，能够与细菌肽聚糖（PGN）相互作用。在本研究中，我们报告了 PA0833（PA0833-PD）与 PGN 结合的周质域的生化和结构特征。通过突变，确定了与 PGN 结合的关键残基，这也使我们能够在本研究中解决的 2.0Å 晶体结构中定位 PGN 结合口袋。与它的同源蛋白（以鲍曼不动杆菌的 AbOmpA-PD 为代表）不同，PA0833-PD 通过直接与 DAP（二氨基庚二酸）部分结合来与 PGN 相互作用，由于插入残基和口袋一侧形成额外的α-螺旋，PA0833-PD 具有更大的 PGN 结合口袋。因此，在溶液中，单个 DAP 分子与 PA0833-PD 没有可检测到的相互作用，这突出表明除了 DAP 之外，PGN 的其他成分也需要恢复在 PA0833 和 PGN 之间观察到的全部结合能力。
