PubMed Abstract: is an atypical diderm bacterium with a remarkable ability to tolerate various environmental stresses, due in part to its complex cell envelope encapsulated within a hyperstable surface layer (S-layer). Despite decades of research on this cell envelope, atomic structural details of the S-layer have remained obscure. In this study, we report the electron cryomicroscopy structure of the S-layer, showing how it is formed by the Hexagonally Packed Intermediate-layer (HPI) protein arranged in a planar hexagonal lattice. The HPI protein forms an array of immunoglobulin-like folds within the S-layer, with each monomer extending into the adjacent hexamer, resulting in a highly interconnected, stable, sheet-like arrangement. Using electron cryotomography and subtomogram averaging from focused ion beam-milled cells, we have obtained a structure of the cellular S-layer, showing how this HPI S-layer coats native membranes on the surface of cells. Our S-layer structure from the diderm bacterium shows similarities to immunoglobulin-like domain-containing S-layers from monoderm bacteria and archaea, highlighting common features in cell surface organization across different domains of life, with connotations on the evolution of immunoglobulin-based molecular recognition systems in eukaryotes.
