Gene Description

LolD (PA2987) is the ATP-binding cassette (nucleotide-binding) subunit of the LolCDE lipoprotein release complex of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, encoded between the two permease subunits PA2988 and PA2986. Two LolD subunits sit on the cytoplasmic face of the inner membrane and power the complex by ATP binding and hydrolysis. The purified P. aeruginosa LolCDE complex, reconstituted into proteoliposomes, extracts outer-membrane-specific lipoproteins from the inner membrane and hands them to the periplasmic chaperone LolA in an ATP-dependent manner, after which LolB inserts them into the outer membrane. P. aeruginosa LolCDE does not release lipoproteins carrying the Lys3-Ser4 inner-membrane retention signal, so it sets the lipoprotein sorting specificity of the organism.

Part of the ABC transporter complex LolCDE involved in the translocation of mature outer membrane-directed lipoproteins, from the inner membrane to the periplasmic chaperone, LolA.
GO:0016020 membrane
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
MODIFY
Summary: Generic membrane location.
Reason: Correct but general; the specific location is the cytoplasmic (plasma) membrane, which the gene already carries (GO:0005886).
Proposed replacements: plasma membrane

GO:0016887 ATP hydrolysis activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
ACCEPT
Summary: ATP hydrolysis from ABC transporter signatures.
Reason: LolD is the ATPase subunit that energises lipoprotein release; release by the reconstituted P. aeruginosa complex depended on ATP.

GO:0022857 transmembrane transporter activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MODIFY
Summary: IBA transmembrane transporter activity from the deep ABC ATPase node PTN000655654, seeded only by M. tuberculosis Rv2688c (P9WQL7, a fluoroquinolone efflux ATPase).
Reason: LolCDE does not move its substrate across a membrane; it extracts lipoproteins from the outer leaflet of the inner membrane and transfers them to LolA in the periplasm. GO models this as GO:0140306 lipoprotein releasing activity, which is_a transporter activity but not transmembrane transporter activity, and which E. coli LolD carries by IDA. The transporter essence holds; the transmembrane part does not fit the LolD subclade.

Deep ABC ATPase node spanning importers, exporters and type VII (MacB/LolD/FtsE-like) machines. Transmembrane transport suits its classical transporter members but not the LolD clade, whose complex releases lipoproteins to a periplasmic chaperone.

GO:0044873 lipoprotein localization to membrane
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
TOO GENERAL
Summary: InterPro2GO lipoprotein localization to membrane.
Reason: True but uninformative; GO:0044874 lipoprotein localization to outer membrane, accepted in this review, is an is_a descendant of GO:0044873.
GO:0044874 lipoprotein localization to outer membrane
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: IBA from PTN000656700 (LolD clade, 2 seeds, 15 leaf IBAs). Seeds are E. coli LolD (P75957, IDA PMID:17509078 and IMP PMID:10783239) and LolD itself (PseudoCAP IDA, PMID:17350955).
Reason: The node term suits a LolD clade, LolD has its own reconstitution evidence, and the IBD stands on E. coli LolD alone. This node is distinct from the permease node PTN002524722 recorded on PA2988.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:17350955
These results indicate that Lol proteins are responsible for the sorting of lipoproteins to the outer membrane of P. aeruginosa

ACCEPT
Summary: PseudoCAP IDA, the PTN000656700 seed row. Purified P. aeruginosa LolCDE released lipoproteins to LolA in an ATP-dependent reconstitution assay, and LolB then incorporated them into outer membranes.
Reason: Seed verdict SOUND. Direct biochemical evidence on the complex that contains LolD; the ATP dependence is LolD's contribution.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:17350955

GO:0055085 transmembrane transport
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: IBA transmembrane transport from the deep ABC ATPase node PTN000655654 (seeds E. coli NikD, YejF and M. tuberculosis Rv2688c).
Reason: The lipoproteins handled by LolCDE are not carried across the inner membrane; they are lifted out of its outer leaflet and passed to LolA. Transmembrane transport is true of the classical importers and exporters that seed this deep node but is an over-propagation to the LolD clade. The specific process is captured by GO:0044874.

GO:0089705 protein localization to outer membrane
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: IBA protein localization to outer membrane from the LolD clade node.
Reason: Lipoproteins are proteins sent to the outer membrane by LolCDE-LolA-LolB. GO:0089705 is not an ancestor of GO:0044874 in the current ontology, so it adds the protein-localization view of the same step. E. coli LolD carries it by IDA.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:17350955
Lipoproteins were then incorporated into the outer membrane depending on a LolB homologue.

Summary: PseudoCAP IDA protein localization to outer membrane (also a PTN000656700 seed term).
Reason: Seed verdict SOUND, on the same reconstitution evidence as GO:0044874.

Lipoproteins were then incorporated into the outer membrane depending on a LolB homologue.

Characterization of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Lol system as...
NEW
Summary: Proposed molecular function. The reconstituted P. aeruginosa LolCDE complex, which includes LolD, releases lipoproteins from the membrane to LolA in an ATP-dependent manner, the activity GO:0140306 describes. E. coli LolD carries this term by IDA and IMP, and the permease PA2988 review proposes the same term.
Reason: The gene's only specific molecular function annotation is generic ATP hydrolysis; the release activity is that of LolCDE as a whole, as for the E. coli subunits.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:17350955
When incubated in the presence of ATP and a LolA homologue, the reconstituted LolCDE homologue released lipoproteins, leading to the formation of a LolA-lipoprotein complex.
GO:0043190 ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter complex
IDA
PMID:17350955
Characterization of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Lol system as...
NEW
Summary: Proposed complex membership. LolD was purified as the ATPase subunit of the P. aeruginosa LolCDE homologue; E. coli LolD carries this term (ComplexPortal IPI), and the permease PA2988 review uses it.
Reason: No complex term is annotated to LolD; LolCDE is an ABC transporter-family complex of two LolD ATPases and the LolC and LolE permeases.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:17350955
The LolCDE homologue thus purified was reconstituted into proteoliposomes with lipoproteins.
