硫-barrel membrane proteins
 Essential for:
 Nutrient Transport
 Signaling
 Motility
 Survival
Gram Negative Bacteria
 BAM (硫-barrel assembly machinery) complex
is responsible for biogenesis of 硫-barrel
membrane proteins
 4 components
 BamA
 BamB
 BamC
 BamD
Rationale for BamA structural study
 Mechanism for 留-helical membrane proteins
is well established and acquainted but
unknown for beta-barrel membrane protein(s)
What is known?
 In gram negative bacteria the Outer Membrane
Proteins (OMPs) are synthesized in cytoplasm and
transported across inner membrane into the
periplasm by Sec translocon
 Further chaperones then escort them to inner
surface of outer membrane
 Structures of BamB, BamB and BamC are available
The Periplasmic Space
What was done?
 Expression and purification of native BamA
complex.
 X-Ray crystal structures of BamA from Neisseria
gonorrhoeae (3.2 A属) and Haemophilus duceryi
(2.91 A属) determined
 Both organisms are involved in sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs), (N. gonorroheae in
Gonorrhea and H. duceryi in Cancroid)
BamA structure at a glance
 8-Outer surface loops
 16 stranded 硫-barrel periplasmic domain
 Periplasmic domains termed POlypeptide
TRanslocation Associated domains (POTRA
domains)
Cloning/Expression
 PCR cloning in pET20b with PEL-B guide sequence
 For periplasmic proteins, soluble supernatant after cell pellet lysis,
incubated with 2% Triton X-100 for 30 mins at room temp.
 Suspension then ultracentrifuged at 160,000g for 90 mins, and
pellet re-suspended in Buffer-A of primary purification column.
 Insoluble suspensions were solubilized by addition of 5% Elugent,
centrifuged at 265,000 x g for 60 mins.
 Supernatent filtered and loaded on Ni+2
affinity column, eluted with
250mM Imidazole, secondary purification performed on Sephacryl
S300 columns.

Barrel domain
 Each barrel domain contains 16 anti parallel 硫-
strands
 First and last strands associate by hydrogen
bonds
 Interior of barrel is almost empty
 Internal volume of ~13,000 A属

(a) and extracellular (b) view of an alignment of NgBamA and FhaC (grey,
Protein Data Bank (PDB) code 2QDZ) illustrates conformational differences in
the b-barrel and POTRA domains. In FhaC, the N-terminal a-helix (red) and
loop 6 occlude the b-barrel preventing free diffusion across the outer
membrane; however, in BamA this is accomplished by the extracellular loops
that fold over the top of the barrel

Extracellular loops
 Extracellular loop eL4, eL6 and eL7 contribute
substantially to the dome
 Minor contributions from 3L3 and eL8
 eL4 has surface exposed 留-helix nearly parallel

POTRA domain conformations
 In NgBamA, POTRA5 sits proximally to barrel
and interacts with periplasmic loops
 POTRA domains of HdBamA3 swings 70属
outward such that POTRA5 does not interact
with periplasmic loops of the barrel loops in
periplasm

POTRA 5
Strand 16 of C-terminal
 Interface of strands 1 and 16 forms hydorgen
bonding to close the barrel with 8 hydrogen
bonds in HdBamA3
 In NgBamA, structure of strand 16 interact
using only 2 hydrogen bonds with strand 1
 Allows BamA inter cavity access to lipid face of
outer membrane at strand1:16 interface
Compared to HdBamAD3 (green), b-strand 16 is disordered and tucked
inside the b-barrel of NgBamA (gold). Arrowheads indicate the location of the
C-terminal strand in HdBamA (black) and NgBamA (red)

 FhaC:
 Structure differs greatly with BamA
 RMSD for 硫-barrel domain is >10A属
 Shear number for 硫-barrels is 20 (BamA =22)
 Extracellular Loops are in OPEN CONFORMATION

 FQF mutations: No effect
 Potential disulphide bond in eL6: No effect

colony growth and slower doubling time

Interaction of R661 with barrel interior is important

Growth curve studies on mutants
Outer Membrane Distortion by Bam A
HYPOTHESIS
 Compared to OMPs BamA 硫-barrel outer belt
has greatly reduced hydrophobic C-termini
 This can destabilize local membrane
environment
Proposed Mechanism of Protein
Transport
 Molecular Dynamics stimulations used
 FhaC and Btu as control models for outer
membrane
Continued
 Lipids close to C-termini of NgBamA has three
fold decrease in order
 Membrane thickness near C-termini of
NgBamA was 16A属 less than the opposite side
of the barrel
Molecular dynamics analysis revealed that the b-barrel of NgBamA imparts a
thinning of the membrane by 16A near strand b16 (centered at residue 788) when
compared to the opposite side of the barrel (centered at residue 531), whereas no
difference was observed for FhaC.
Membrane disorder and increased distance suggest that:
A major function of BamA in Bam comples is to
prime membrane for OMP secretion
Gating Mechanism of BamA
 Stimulations demonstrated a LATERAL
OPENING event in 硫-barrel of both structures
via separation of first and last 硫-strands
 Separation between strand and POTRA5
oriented away from the barrel
 Distance ranged from 4A属 to 7.4A属 in
HdBamA3 and 5A属-10A属 in NgBamA
Comparison between NgBamA (X-Ray crystal)
294K and MD-stimulated structure-310K
Lateral
Opening
Lateral Openings
 Only observed in three structures:
 FadL
 PagP
 OmpW
 All transport Hydrophobic molecules
 A closing event was also observed in MD-
stimulations with interval of 1袖 second
Conclusion
 BamA can perturb outer membrane by:
 Reduced hydrophobic surface near 硫-strand 16 resulting in
decreased lipid order and membrane thickness
 Transient separation of 硫-strands 1 and 16
 With PORTA domains, highly dynamic membrane
environment is created by BamA in immediate vicinity
of Bam Complex
 Some 硫-barrels can be folded in periplasm before
insertion into outer membrane (insertion mechanism
unclear)
Possible Mechanism of BamA
mediated protein entry
 Use of hypothetical conformation switch of
eL6, POTRA5 and lateral opening event
OR
 OMPs may be trafficked into close proximity
of outer membrane via interactions with
POTRA5 domain to transiently destabilizing
outer membrane patch to make room for
protein insertion
