In Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34, a model organism for heavy metal resistance studies, the sil determinant is potentially involved in silver and copper ions efflux. Proteins SilA, SilB, and SilC form a Resistance Nodulation cell Division (RND)-based transport system where SilB is the periplasmic adaptor protein belonging to the Membrane Fusion Protein (MFP) family. In addition to the four domains typical of known MFPs, SilB has a fifth additional C-terminal domain, called SilB440-521, which is characterized here. Structure and backbone dynamics of SilB440-521 have been investigated using NMR and the residues of the metal site were identified from 15N and 13C-edited HSQC spectra. The solution structure and additional metal binding experiments demonstrated that this C-terminal domain folds independently of the rest of the protein and has a conformation and a Ag+ and Cu+ binding specificity similar to those determined for CusF from Escherichia coli. The small protein CusF plays a role in metal-trafficking in the periplasm. The similarity with CusF suggests a potential metallochaperone role for SilB440-521 that is discussed in the context of simultaneous expression of different determinants involved in copper resistance in C. metallidurans CH34.
