Citation | Journal: Nat Microbiol / Year: 2022Title: Structure of a thylakoid-anchored contractile injection system in multicellular cyanobacteria. Authors: Gregor L Weiss / Fabian Eisenstein / Ann-Katrin Kieninger / Jingwei Xu / Hannah A Minas / Milena Gerber / Miki Feldmüller / Iris Maldener / Karl Forchhammer / Martin Pilhofer / ![]() Abstract: Contractile injection systems (CISs) mediate cell-cell interactions by phage tail-like structures, using two distinct modes of action: extracellular CISs are released into the medium, while type 6 ...Contractile injection systems (CISs) mediate cell-cell interactions by phage tail-like structures, using two distinct modes of action: extracellular CISs are released into the medium, while type 6 secretion systems (T6SSs) are attached to the cytoplasmic membrane and function upon cell-cell contact. Here, we characterized a CIS in the multicellular cyanobacterium Anabaena, with features distinct from extracellular CISs and T6SSs. Cryo-electron tomography of focused ion beam-milled cells revealed that CISs were anchored in thylakoid membrane stacks, facing the cell periphery. Single particle cryo-electron microscopy showed that this unique in situ localization was mediated by extensions of tail fibre and baseplate components. On stress, cyanobacteria induced the formation of ghost cells, presenting thylakoid-anchored CISs to the environment. Functional assays suggest that these CISs may mediate ghost cell formation and/or interactions of ghost cells with other organisms. Collectively, these data provide a framework for understanding the evolutionary re-engineering of CISs and potential roles of these CISs in cyanobacterial programmed cell death. | |||||||||||||||||||||
