Title: BAM-BepA complexes in outer membrane protein quality control.
Authors: Katherine L Fenn / Victoria Higgins / Jonathan M Machin / Antonio N Calabrese / Alan Berry / Sheena E Radford / Neil A Ranson /
Abstract: Correct folding of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) by the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) is essential for maintaining the outer membrane (OM) barrier function of diderm bacteria. When OMP ...Correct folding of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) by the β-barrel assembly machinery (BAM) is essential for maintaining the outer membrane (OM) barrier function of diderm bacteria. When OMP biogenesis is perturbed, the β-barrel assembly enhancing protease A (BepA) binds to BAM to mediate quality control, but how BepA interacts with BAM and degrades substrate OMPs remains unclear. Here, cryoEM structures of BAM-bound BepA reveals that BepA induces large conformational changes in the BAM complex enabling the enzyme to poise its active site within the periplasmic ring of BAM, beneath the BamA barrel. The lid of BepA is dynamic, embedding two of its water-soluble helices deep into the membrane bilayer when BAM-bound, which readies BepA for proteolysis of misfolding OMPs. Movement of BepA's plug is triggered by OMP binding rather than interaction with BAM, activating the enzyme for cleavage. We reveal BepA preferentially recognises Aromatic-X-Aromatic (Ar-X-Ar) motifs which are enriched in OMP sequences. The results reveal a mechanism for proteolytic degradation by BepA in OMP quality control which requires interaction with BAM, the membrane, and its OMP substrates.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
