We solved the structure of the outer-membrane core complex (OMCC) of a T4SS encoded ...Bacterial type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are largely responsible for the proliferation of multi-drug resistance. We solved the structure of the outer-membrane core complex (OMCC) of a T4SS encoded by a conjugative F plasmid at <3.0 Å resolution by cryoelectron microscopy. The OMCC consists of a 13-fold symmetrical outer ring complex (ORC) built from 26 copies of TraK and TraV C-terminal domains, and a 17-fold symmetrical central cone (CC) composed of 17 copies of TraB β-barrels. Domains of TraV and TraB also bind the CC and ORC substructures, establishing that these proteins undergo an intraprotein symmetry alteration to accommodate the C13:C17 symmetry mismatch. We present evidence that other pED208-encoded factors stabilize the C13:C17 architecture and define the importance of TraK, TraV and TraB domains to T4SS function. This work identifies OMCC structural motifs of proposed importance for structural transitions associated with F plasmid dissemination and F pilus biogenesis. |
