Biorxiv, 2024 Cited by PubMed Abstract: The polar-growing Corynebacteriales have a complex cell envelope architecture characterized by the presence of a specialized outer membrane composed of mycolic acids. In some Corynebacteriales, this mycomembrane is further supported by a proteinaceous surface layer or 'S-layer', whose function, structure and mode of assembly remain largely enigmatic. Here, we isolated PS2 S-layers from the industrially important and determined its atomic structure by 3D cryoEM reconstruction. PS2 monomers consist of a six-helix bundle 'core', a three-helix bundle 'arm', and a C-terminal transmembrane (TM) helix. The PS2 core oligomerizes into hexameric units anchored in the mycomembrane by a channel-like coiled-coil of the TM helices. The PS2 arms mediate trimeric lattice contacts, crystallizing the hexameric units into an intricate semipermeable lattice. Using pulse-chase live cell imaging, we show that the PS2 lattice is incorporated at the poles, coincident with the actinobacterial elongasome. Finally, phylogenetic analysis shows a paraphyletic distribution and dispersed chromosomal location of PS2 in Corynebacteriales as a result of multiple recombination events and losses. These findings expand our understanding of S-layer biology and enable applications of membrane-supported self-assembling bioengineered materials.
