In one family of bacteriophages (phages), tubulin-like proteins called PhuZ (Phage tubulin/FtsZ) form dynamic filaments that position and rotate an intracellular compartment, the "phage nucleus," in which the phage genome is replicated. PhuZ filaments also mediate trafficking of nascent capsids from the cell periphery to the phage nucleus for genome packaging. PhuZ from the Pseudomonas-infecting phages 201Phi2-1 and PhiKZ form assemblies with three protofilaments. Here, we determine a 2.8 Å resolution structure of PhuZ from the E. coli-infecting phage Goslar, which forms an elaborate "cytoskeletal vortex" in infected cells. We find that in vitro-assembled Goslar PhuZ forms rigid tubes with nine nearly-straight protofilaments. The lateral interactions mediating this assembly are fundamentally different from eukaryotic tubulin, leading to a distinctive overall architecture for Goslar PhuZ filaments. |
