1. Biogenesis of 硫-barrel
Membrane Proteins
Simplified elaboration of beta barrel
protein incorporation mechanisms in
cells as cited under:

3. Gram Negative Bacteria
BAM (硫-barrel assembly machinery) complex
is responsible for biogenesis of 硫-barrel
membrane proteins
4 components
BamA
BamB
BamC
BamD
4. Rationale for BamA structural study
Mechanism for 留-helical membrane proteins
is well established and acquainted but
unknown for beta-barrel membrane protein(s)
5. 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
7. 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)
9. 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.

12. Structural features of BamA
硫-留-留-硫-硫 fold of POTRA
domains is conserved
POTRA domain of NgBamA
located in close proximity
of the periplasmic beta-barrel
domain
But tend to extend away
in HdBamA3 structure
13. 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

15. 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
to membrane
Strongly electropositive surface along eL3 and
eL6

18. 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
20. 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
21. 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)

THROUGH INERIOR OF BETA-BARREL
Strand 16
22. BamA and FhaC homology model
FhaC:
Only source of structural information for
membrane domain of Omp85 family
Serves as dedicated toxin translocation pore in
bacterial outer membrane
Shares <13% sequence identity
23. Continued
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
Conformation of eL6 differs substantially with
BamA
eL6 contains VRGF/Y motif
24. Extracellular view of NgBamA (Gold) and FhaC
alignment (Grey)
N-termminal 留-helix
(in FhaC) prevents
free flow to solute
(Extracellular loops
show open
conformation)
In BamA,
extracellular
loops prevent
free outward
flow
25. NgBamA eL6
(Gold)contains a 硫-hairpin
which is absent in FhaC
(Grey)
eL6 硫-hairpin is located 18 A属
above periplasmic surface of
硫-barrel in NgBamA
(the loop bury inside
periplasmic space in FhaC)

26. eL6-VRGF/Y motif
Distortion causes ablation of transport activity
Interacts with beta strands 14-16A属 from periplasm

29. Mutagenesis studies
R661A mutant : Reduced colony growth
VRGF>A : Leathal
D740R: Leathal
E717A/D740A double mutant: Minimal growth
POTRA5 loops mutagenesis: No effect
FQF mutations: No effect
Potential disulphide bond in eL6: No effect
Non-conserved loop (676-670) deletion: Reduced
colony growth and slower doubling time
30. Phenotype growth effects
Low expression levels and DegP up-regulation:
R661A
VRGF>A
D740R
E717A/D740A
Interaction of R661 with barrel interior is important
for proper function
32. 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
33. Proposed Mechanism of Protein
Transport
Molecular Dynamics stimulations used
FhaC and Btu as control models for outer
membrane
34. 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
35. 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
36. 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
38. 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
39. 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)
40. 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
