Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Lactococcus lactis is a Gram-positive bacterium widely used by the dairy industry. Several industrial L. lactis strains are sensitive to various distinct bacteriophages. Most of them belong to the Siphoviridae family and comprise several species, among which the 936 and P335 are prominent. Members of these two phage species recognize their hosts through the interaction of their receptor-binding protein (RBP) with external cell wall saccharidices of the host, the “receptors.” We report here the 1.65 Å resolution crystal structure of the RBP from phage TP901-1, a member of the P335 species. This RBP of 163 amino acids is a homotrimer comprising three domains: a helical N terminus, an interlaced β-prism, and a β-barrel, the head domain (residues 64-163), which binds a glycerol molecule. Fluorescence quenching experiments indicated that the RBP exhibits high affinity for glycerol, muramyl-dipeptide, and other saccharides in solution. The structural comparison of this RBP with that of lactococcal phage p2 RBP, a member of the 936 species (Spinelli, S., Desmyter, A., Verrips, C. T., de Haard, J. W., Moineau, S., and Cambillau, C. (2006) Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol. 13, 85-89) suggests a large extent of modularity in RBPs of lactococcal phages. Lactococcus lactis is a Gram-positive bacterium widely used by the dairy industry. Several industrial L. lactis strains are sensitive to various distinct bacteriophages. Most of them belong to the Siphoviridae family and comprise several species, among which the 936 and P335 are prominent. Members of these two phage species recognize their hosts through the interaction of their receptor-binding protein (RBP) with external cell wall saccharidices of the host, the “receptors.” We report here the 1.65 Å resolution crystal structure of the RBP from phage TP901-1, a member of the P335 species.

Fluorescence quenching experiments indicated that the RBP exhibits high affinity for glycerol, muramyl-dipeptide, and other saccharides in solution. The structural comparison of this RBP with that of lactococcal phage p2 RBP, a member of the 936 species (Spinelli, S., Desmyter, A., Verrips, C. T., de Haard, J. W., Moineau, S., and Cambillau, C. (2006) Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol. 13, 85-89) suggests a large extent of modularity in RBPs of lactococcal phages. Phages of Lactococcus lactis are a major problem in industrial milk fermentation, because they are ubiquitous within their process environments as well as within pasteurized milk (1Moineau S. Tremblay D. Labrie S. ASM News. 2002; 68: 388-393Google Scholar). They belong to several different species of the Siphoviridae family (small isometric capsid and long noncontractile tail), among which the genetically distinct species 936, P335, and c2 are the three prominent (2Moineau S.

These mediating RBPs are located at the distal structure of their long tail (150-200 nm). Lactococcal phages from species 936 or P335 bind to carbohydrate receptors at the surface of the cell wall, the exact nature of them being still unknown (10Deveau H. Van Calsteren M.R. Moineau S.

A better understanding at a molecular level of this recognition mechanism would increase the possibility of designing novel tools to inactivate the RBPs, thereby preventing phage infection. In this context, solving the structure of lactococcal phage RBPs is a significant step in understanding the phage-host interactions. To this end, we have previously determined the first crystal structure of a RBP from a lactococcal phage, namely from the lytic phage p2 (936 species) (16Spinelli S. Desmyter A. Verrips C.T. de Haard H.J. Moineau S. Cambillau C. Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol. 2006; 13: 85-89Crossref PubMed Scopus (107) Google Scholar). This RBP is formed of three monomers related by a 3-fold noncrystallographic axis, each assembling three domains, from N to C terminus: the shoulders, the interlaced neck, and the heads. We have shown that this last domain harbors the putative saccharide-binding site, which can be blocked by a llama immunoglobulin VH domain of camelid antibody heavy chain (9De Haard H.J. Bezemer S. Ledeboer A.M. Muller W.H. Boender P.J. Moineau S. Coppelmans M.C. Verkleij A.J. Frenken L.G. Verrips C.T. J. Bacteriol. 2005; 187: 4531-4541Crossref PubMed Scopus (64) Google Scholar, 16Spinelli S.

We recently showed that the binding of a glycerol molecule to the head domain led to the identification of the residues of the saccharide-binding site (15Tremblay D.M. Tegoni M. Spinelli S. Campanacci V. Blangy S. Huyghe C. Desmyter A. Labrie S. Moineau S. Cambillau C. J. Bacteriol. 2006; 188: 2400-2410Crossref PubMed Scopus (92) Google Scholar). The lactococcal temperate phage TP901-1 belongs to the P335 species. It has a genome size of 37,667 bp with 56 open reading frames (ORFs) (18Brondsted L. Ostergaard S. Pedersen M. Hammer K. Vogensen F.K. Virology. 2001; 283: 93-109Crossref PubMed Scopus (76) Google Scholar). Phage TP901-1 has a long noncontractile tail with a distal baseplate (19Vegge C.S. Brondsted L. Neve H. McGrath S. van Sinderen D. Vogensen F.K. J. Bacteriol. 2005; 187: 4187-4197Crossref PubMed Scopus (58) Google Scholar). Recently, one of its ORFs (ORF49 or BppL) has been identified as being the phage RBP (11Dupont K. Janzen T. Vogensen F.K. Josephsen J. Stuer-Lauridsen B. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 2004; 70: 5825-5832Crossref PubMed Scopus (63) Google Scholar, 20Vegge C.S. Vogensen F.K. Mc Grath S. Neve H. van Sinderen D. Brondsted L. J. Bacteriol. 2006; 188: 55-63Crossref PubMed Scopus (58) Google Scholar). The mechanism of assembly of the baseplate of phage TP901-1 was also recently deciphered, indicating that BppL forms the lower baseplate and is the last component to be assembled (19Vegge C.S. Brondsted L. Neve H. McGrath S. van Sinderen D. Vogensen F.K. J. Bacteriol. 2005; 187: 4187-4197Crossref PubMed Scopus (58) Google Scholar). In the present study, we have solved the second RBP structure of a lactococcal phage, namely the RBP (BppL) of TP901-1 (20Vegge C.S. Vogensen F.K. Mc Grath S. Neve H. van Sinderen D. Brondsted L. J. Bacteriol. 2006; 188: 55-63Crossref PubMed Scopus (58) Google Scholar), using molecular replacement with the head domain of p2 RBP as a starting model. As with the latter, the RBP of phage TP901-1 harbors a glycerol molecule located in a saccharide binding site of the C-terminal domain. Tryptophan fluorescence quenching experiments performed with a F145W mutant indicated that, in solution, the RBP of TP901-1 binds strongly to glycerol, phosphoglycerol, N-acetylmuramic acid, and muramyl-dipeptide. Native RBP Production and Crystallization—The ORF49 (RBP) of phage TP901-1 was cloned in the Gateway™ pDEST17 vector (21Walhout A.J. Temple G.F. Brasch M.A. Hartley J.L. Lorson M.A. van den Heuvel S. Vidal M. Methods Enzymol. 2000; 328: 575-592Crossref PubMed Google Scholar) according to standard procedures as described previously. A tobacco etch virus protease cleavage site was inserted between the ATTB1 and the gene of interest. The resulting vector was transformed in Escherichia coli Rosetta-pLysS strains. Cells were grown at 28 °C in terrific broth medium in agitated flasks (4 × 750 ml) until the OD reached 0.5 and then induced with isopropyl 1-thio-β-d-galactopyranoside (0.5 mm). After cell centrifugation, lysis was performed in 150 ml of lysis solution (50 mm Tris, 150 mm NaCl, 10 mm imidazole, pH 8.0, 0.25 mg/ml lysozyme, 1 mm PMSF). Purification was performed in two steps, a Ni2+-NTA column, followed by gel filtration (HiLoad S200) on a GE Δkta fast protein liquid chromatograph. The protein was concentrated to 5.6 mg/ml (2.5 mg total) and subjected to crystallization screening with a Cartesian nanodrop-dispensing robot (22Sulzenbacher G. Gruez A. Roig-Zamboni V. Spinelli S.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
