S-layer proteins are a diverse class of molecules found in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and most archaea. S-layers protect cells from the outside, provide mechanical stability and also play roles in pathogenicity. In situ structural information about this highly abundant class of proteins is scarce, so atomic details of how S-layers are arranged on the surface of cells have remained elusive. Here, using purified Caulobacter crescentus' sole S-layer protein RsaA, we obtained a 2.7 Å X-ray structure that shows the hexameric S-layer lattice. We also solved a 7.4 Å structure of the S-layer through electron cryotomography and sub-tomogram averaging of cell stalks. The X-ray structure was docked unambiguously into the electron cryotomography map, resulting in a pseudo-atomic-level description of the in vivo S-layer, which agrees completely with the atomic X-ray lattice model. The cellular S-layer atomic structure shows that the S-layer is porous, with a largest gap dimension of 27 Å, and is stabilized by multiple Ca ions bound near the interfaces. This study spans different spatial scales from atoms to cells by combining X-ray crystallography with electron cryotomography and sub-nanometre-resolution sub-tomogram averaging.
根拠: microscopy, RsaA polymerises to form a 2D lattice on cells and also in the crystals. This was determined by comparing the crystal packing described here with electron tomography data from ...根拠: microscopy, RsaA polymerises to form a 2D lattice on cells and also in the crystals.
