Phylogenetic origin and sequence features of MreB from the wall-less swimming bacteria Spiroplasma.

Abstract:

:Spiroplasma are wall-less bacteria which belong to the phylum Tenericutes that evolved from Firmicutes including Bacillus subtilis. Spiroplasma swim by a mechanism unrelated to widespread bacterial motilities, such as flagellar motility, and caused by helicity switching with kinks traveling along the helical cell body. The swimming force is likely generated by five classes of bacterial actin homolog MreBs (SMreBs 1-5) involved in the helical bone structure. We analyzed sequences of SMreBs to clarify their phylogeny and sequence features. The maximum likelihood method based on around 5000 MreB sequences showed that the phylogenetic tree was divided into several radiations. SMreBs formed a clade adjacent to the radiation of MreBH, an MreB isoform of Firmicutes. Sequence comparisons of SMreBs and Bacillus MreBs were also performed to clarify the features of SMreB. Catalytic glutamic acid and threonine were substituted to aspartic acid and lysine, respectively, in SMreB3. In SMreBs 2 and 4, amino acids involved in inter- and intra-protofilament interactions were significantly different from those in Bacillus MreBs. A membrane-binding region was not identified in most SMreBs 1 and 4 unlike many walled-bacterial MreBs. SMreB5 had a significantly longer C-terminal region than the other MreBs, which possibly forms protein-protein interactions. These features may support the functions responsible for the unique mechanism of Spiroplasma swimming.
