Abstract: Gram-negative bacteria are intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics because of densely packed lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in the outer leaflet of their outer membrane (OM), which acts as a highly ...Gram-negative bacteria are intrinsically resistant to many antibiotics because of densely packed lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in the outer leaflet of their outer membrane (OM), which acts as a highly effective barrier towards the spontaneous permeation of toxic molecules, including antibiotics. LPS are extracted from the inner membrane by the ABC transporter LptBFGC and translocated across the periplasm via a protein bridge to the OM. While structural studies have elucidated aspects of Lpt function in enterobacteria, little is known about how this system operates in divergent species such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a major human pathogen. Here, we report five cryo-electron microscopy structures of P. aeruginosa LptBFG and LptBFGC, revealing a rigid body movement in the periplasmic β-jellyroll domains necessary for LPS to shuttle through the periplasmic space. Notably, these structures exhibit a significantly smaller LPS binding cavity compared to previously determined models, suggesting the ligand-unbound states of the transporter. Mass spectrometry and molecular dynamics simulations indicate that the phosphate groups of LPS are the key determinants for binding and that the transporter can also accommodate cardiolipin. Together, these findings reveal previously unappreciated structural diversity in the Lpt system and provide mechanistic insight into how pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria tailor LPS recognition and transport. This understanding offers new avenues for the development of novel inhibitors targeting membrane biogenesis.

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.
