Protein secretion in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: characterization of seven xcp genes and processing of secretory apparatus components by prepilin peptidase.
Multiple roles of the pilus biogenesis protein pilD: involvement of pilD in excretion of enzymes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Protein secretion in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: the xcpA gene encodes an integral inner membrane protein homologous to Klebsiella pneumoniae secretion function protein PulO.
The type 4 prepilin peptidases comprise a novel family of aspartic acid proteases.
-
Type 4 prepilin peptidases are aspartic proteases; catalytic Asp pairs identified in V. cholerae TcpJ and VcpD are conserved family-wide.
"Corresponding aspartate residues are completely conserved throughout this extensive peptidase family."
Cell-free production of integral membrane aspartic acid proteases reveals zinc-dependent methyltransferase activity of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa prepilin peptidase PilD.
-
Purified PilD cleaves the PilA signal peptide and performs SAM-dependent methylation of mature pilin; zinc is needed for methylation only.
"Zinc is required for the N-terminal methylation of the mature pilin, but not for signal peptide cleavage."
A single bifunctional enzyme, PilD, catalyzes cleavage and N-methylation of proteins belonging to the type IV pilin family.
Cleavage, methylation, and localization of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa export proteins XcpT, -U, -V, and -W.
-
PilD cleaves and methylates XcpT-W in the inner membrane.
"This bifunctional enzyme, acting in the inner membrane, cleaves the leader peptides from precursors of pilins and XcpT-W"
Identification of active-site cysteines in the conserved domain of PilD, the bifunctional type IV pilin leader peptidase/N-methyltransferase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
-
Four conserved cytoplasmic Cys are required for full peptidase and methylase activity.
"the 4 conserved cysteines in the cytoplasmic domain are required for full peptidase activity in vivo and for complete peptidase and methyltransferase activities in vitro"
Type II protein secretion by Pseudomonas aeruginosa: genetic suppression of a conditional mutation in the pilin-like component XcpT by the cytoplasmic component XcpR.
Amino acid substitutions in PilD, a bifunctional enzyme of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Effect on leader peptidase and N-methyltransferase activities in vitro and in vivo.
-
Methylation-deficient PilD variants still support assembly of functional pili.
"Absence of N-methyltransferase activity did not appear to interfere with the ability of P. aeruginosa to assemble functional pili."
