Novel functional insights into a modified sugar-binding protein from Synechococcus MITS9220.
Sci Rep, 12:4805-4805, 2022

PubMed Abstract: Paradigms of metabolic strategies employed by photoautotrophic marine picocyanobacteria have been challenged in recent years. Based on genomic annotations, picocyanobacteria are predicted to assimilate organic nutrients via ATP-binding cassette importers, a process mediated by substrate-binding proteins. We report the functional characterisation of a modified sugar-binding protein, MsBP, from a marine Synechococcus strain, MITS9220. Ligand screening of MsBP shows a specific affinity for zinc (K ~ 1.3 μM) and a preference for phosphate-modified sugars, such as fructose-1,6-biphosphate, in the presence of zinc (K ~ 5.8 μM). Our crystal structures of apo MsBP (no zinc or substrate-bound) and Zn-MsBP (with zinc-bound) show that the presence of zinc induces structural differences, leading to a partially-closed substrate-binding cavity. The Zn-MsBP structure also sequesters several sulphate ions from the crystallisation condition, including two in the binding cleft, appropriately placed to mimic the orientation of adducts of a biphosphate hexose. Combined with a previously unseen positively charged binding cleft in our two structures and our binding affinity data, these observations highlight novel molecular variations on the sugar-binding SBP scaffold. Our findings lend further evidence to a proposed sugar acquisition mechanism in picocyanobacteria alluding to a mixotrophic strategy within these ubiquitous photosynthetic bacteria.
