Abstract

The HMWP2 subunit of yersiniabactin (Ybt) synthetase, a 230 kDa nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) making the N-terminus of the Ybt siderophore of Yersinia pestis, has one cysteine-specific adenylation (A) domain, three carrier protein domains (ArCP, PCP1, PCP2), and two heterocyclization domains (Cy1, Cy2). The A domain loads the two PCP domains with cysteines that get heterocyclized by the Cy domains to yield a tricyclic hydroxyphenylthiazolinylthiazolinyl (HPTT) chain lodged in thioester linkage to the PCP2 domain. The interdomain recognition by the Cy1 and Cy2 domains for the three carrier proteins was tested using inactivating mutations at the conserved serine that is phosphopantetheinylated in each carrier domain (S52A, S1439A, and S1977A). These mutant forms of HMWP2 were tested for in trans complementation by carrier protein fragments: holo-ArCPs (S52A), holo-PCP1 and analogues (S1439A), and holo-PCP2 and analogues (S1977A). The S52A mutant tests the recognition of the Cy1 domain for donor acyl-ArCP substrates, while the S1439A mutant tests the specificity of the same Cy1 domain for downstream substrates presented by distinct PCPs. The S1439A likewise tests the recognition of Cy2 for its upstream PCP-tethered acyl d...Continue Reading
