Structure of an essential inner membrane protein-LPS complex identifies a novel anti-microbial peptide

Description

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) resides in the outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria where it is responsible for barrier function and immune modulation. LPS is the target of polymyxins, last-resort antibiotics whose clinical use is threatened by increasing resistance. Steps in LPS biogenesis are known, but how LPS biosynthesis and transport to the OM is coordinated remains poorly understood. Here, we find that depletion of the Escherichia coli inner membrane protein PbgA attenuates pathogenesis and produces defects in the OM. Structural analysis of PbgA identifies an enzyme superfamily known to modify the envelopes of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; however, PbgA reveals a defunct hydrolase-active site, a distinctive architecture, and an unprecedented lipid A-binding motif along the periplasmic leaflet of the inner membrane. Unlike canonical lipid-binding proteins, PbgA achieves LPS coordination primarily through backbone-mediated interactions. Offensive mutations within the lipid A-binding motif disrupt the OM barrier, suggesting that LPS perception by PbgA plays a key role in maintaining OM homeostasis. PbgA-derived synthetic peptides selectively bind to LPS in vitro and inhibit the growth of diverse Gram-negative bacterial species, including polymyxin-resistant strains. Our studies uncover an essential pseudo-hydrolase with an unexpected link to OM biogenesis, highlight a new structural paradigm in selective lipid recognition, and provide important templates for future antibiotic discovery.

+ Dataset History


Click here to queue conversion of this dataset's submitted spectrum files to open formats (e.g. mzML). This process may take some time.

When complete, the converted files will be available in the "ccms_peak" subdirectory of the dataset's FTP space (accessible via the "FTP Download" link to the right).
Number of distinct conditions across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct condition labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "Condition" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct biological replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct replicate labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "BioReplicate" or "Replicate" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct technical replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

The technical replicate count is defined as the maximum number of times any one distinct combination of condition and biological replicate was analyzed across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category. In the case of fractionated experiments, only the first fraction is considered.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Originally identified proteins that were automatically remapped by MassIVE to proteins in the SwissProt human reference database.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct protein accessions reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct unmodified peptide sequences reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct peptide sequences (including modified variants or peptidoforms) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Total number of peptide-spectrum matches (i.e. spectrum identifications) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins quantified across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins found to be differentially abundant in at least one comparison across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

A protein is differentially abundant if its change in abundance across conditions is found to be statistically significant with an adjusted p-value <= 0.05 and lists no issues associated with statistical tests for differential abundance.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE. It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
