Topology analysis of the colicin V export protein CvaA in Escherichia coli.

Abstract:

:The antibacterial protein toxin colicin V is secreted from Escherichia coli cells by a dedicated export system that is a member of the multicomponent ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family. At least three proteins, CvaA, CvaB, and TolC, are required for secretion via this signal sequence-independent pathway. In this study, the subcellular location and transmembrane organization of membrane fusion protein CvaA were investigated. First, a series of CvaA-alkaline phosphatase (AP) protein fusions was constructed. Inner and outer membrane fractionations of cells bearing these fusions indicated that CvaA is inner membrane associated. To localize the fusion junctions, the relative activities of the fusion proteins, i.e., the amounts of phosphatase activity normalized to the rate of synthesis of each protein, as well as the stability of each fusion, were determined. These results indicated that all of the fusion junctions occur on the same side of the inner membrane. In addition, the relative activities were compared with that of native AP, and the protease accessibility of the AP moieties in spheroplasts and whole cells was analyzed. The results of these experiments suggested that the fusion junctions occur within periplasmic regions of CvA. We conclude that CvaA is an inner membrane protein with a single transmembrane domain near its N terminus; the large C-terminal region extends into the periplasm. This study demonstrates the application of AP fusion analysis to elucidate the topology of a membrane-associated protein having only a single transmembrane domain.
