Báo cáo khoa học: Basis of recognition between the NarJ chaperone and the N-terminus of the NarG subunit from Escherichia coli nitrate reductase

A novel class of molecular chaperones co-ordinates the assembly and targeting of complex metalloproteins by binding to an amino-terminal peptide of the cognate substrate. We have previously shown that the NarJ chaperone interacts with the N-terminus of the NarG subunit coming from the nitrate reductase complex, NarGHI. | Basis of recognition between the NarJ chaperone and the N-terminus of the NarG subunit from Escherichia coli nitrate reductase Silva Zakian1 Daniel Lafitte2 Alexandra Vergnes1 Cyril Pimentel3 Corinne Sebban-Kreuzer3 Rene Toci1 Jean-Baptiste Claude4 Francoise Guerlesquin3 and Axel Magalon1 1 Laboratoire de Chimie Bacterienne Institut de Microbiologie de la Méditerranée Centre Nationalde la Recherche Scientifique Marseille France 2 MaP site Timone UMR INSERM 911 Universite d Aix-Marseille II France 3 Interactions et Modulateurs de Reponses Institut de Microbiologie de la Mediterranee Centre Nationalde la Recherche Scientifique Marseille France 4 Information Genomique et Structurale Marseille France Keywords chaperone metalloproteins nitrate reductase NMR translocation Correspondence A.

We have previously shown that the NarJ chaperone interacts with the N-terminus of the NarG subunit coming from the nitrate reductase complex NarGHI. In the present study NMR structural analysis revealed that the NarG 1-15 peptide adopts an a-helical conformation in solution. Moreover NarJ recognizes and binds the helical NarG 1-15 peptide mostly via hydrophobic interactions as deduced from isothermal titration calorimetry analysis. NMR and differential scanning calorimetry analysis revealed a modification of NarJ conformation during complex formation with the NarG 1-15 peptide. Isothermal titration calorimetry and BIAcore experiments support a model .
