Abstract:
:In this paper we provide the first biochemical evidence of the existence of a family of structure-related antimicrobial peptides, the siderophore-microcins, in the Enterobacteriaceae family. We isolated and characterized two novel siderophore-microcins, MccM and MccH47, previously characterized through genetic studies. MccM and MccH47 were expressed from several Escherichia coli strains containing the microcin gene clusters. The spectra of their bactericidal activities were found to be restricted to some species of the Enterobacteriaceae. MccM and MccH47 were unable to inhibit the growth of strains carrying mutations in the fepA, cir, and fiu genes, which showed the requirement of the iron-catecholate receptors for their recognition. The MccM and MccH47 peptide moieties contain 77 and 60 residues, respectively, and are derived from the microcin precursors McmA and MchB, respectively. In addition, both peptides carried a C-terminal posttranslational modification containing a salmochelin-like siderophore moiety also found in MccE492 (X. Thomas et al., J. Biol. Chem., 279:28233-28242, 2004). Interestingly, when MccM was isolated from E. coli Nissle 1917, which lacks the two genes necessary for modification biosynthesis, it was devoid of posttranslational modification. Those two genes could be complemented by their homologues from the MccH47 gene cluster, thereby showing their functional interchangeability between at least two members of the siderophore-microcin family. Finally, from the sequence analysis of the MccE492 gene cluster, we hypothesized the existence of an additional member of the siderophore-microcin family. Therefore, we propose that the siderophore-microcin family contains five representatives.
