While N-glycosylation serves numerous roles in archaea, including enabling their survival in extreme environments, how this post-translational modification contributes to cell motility remains under-explored. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of archaellum filaments from the haloarchaeon Halobacterium salinarum, where archaellins, the building blocks of the archaellum, are N-glycosylated, and the N-glycosylation pathway is well-resolved. We further determined structures of archaellum filaments from two N-glycosylation mutant strains that generate truncated glycans and analyzed their motility. While cells from the parent strain exhibited unidirectional motility, the N-glycosylation mutant strain cells swam in ever-changing directions within a limited area. Although these mutant strain cells presented archaellum filaments that were highly similar in architecture to those of the parent strain, N-linked glycan truncation greatly affected interactions between archaellum filaments, leading to dramatic clustering of both isolated and cell-attached filaments. We propose that the N-linked tetrasaccharides decorating archaellins act as physical spacers that minimize the archaellum filament aggregation that limits cell motility. | |||||||||

Symmetry-free refinement improved the overall resolution map to 3.1 A and revealed differences in density among archaellin subunits. Nonetheless, we were unable to identify features that would allow us to unambiguously assign specific archaellins into the density, perhaps because the regions that distinguish each archaellin are few, short, and mostly predicted to lack defined secondary structure, or because the five archaellins are not organized in a repeating pattern. Consequently, we built a model into the central region of the cryo-EM map comprising 26 archaellin subunits that share a consensus sequence, in which identical residues among the five archaellins are explicitly modelled, with those variable residues usually being modelled as alanine residues (UNK). Number of copies: 26 / Enantiomer: LEVO |
