Abstract:
:Biogenesis of the Gram-negative outer membrane involves the chaperone seventeen kilodalton protein (Skp). A Skp trimer is currently thought to bind its unfolded outer membrane protein (uOMP) substrates. Using sedimentation equilibrium, we discovered that Skp is not an obligate trimer under physiological conditions and that Na(+), Cl(-), Mg(2+), and PO4(3-) ions are not linked to Skp trimerization. These findings suggest that electrostatics play a negligible role in Skp assembly. Our results demonstrate that Skp monomers are populated at biologically relevant concentrations, which raises the idea that kinetic formation of Skp-uOMP complexes likely involves Skp monomer assembly around its substrate. In addition, van't Hoff analysis of Skp self-association does not support a previously proposed coupled folding and trimerization of Skp.
