Crystal Structure of IbpAFic2-H3717A in complex with adenylylated Cdc42
Structural highlights
FunctionIBPA_HISS2 Adenylyltransferase involved in virulence by mediating the addition of adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) to specific tyrosine residue of host Rho GTPases RhoA, Rac and Cdc42. The resulting AMPylation inactivates Rho GTPases, thereby inhibiting actin assembly in infected cells. Probably also acts as a cysteine protease, which may play a central role after invasion of host cell and in virulence. Possible member (with IbpB) of a 2 partner secretion. Probably able to bind bovine epithelial cells (host cells). May participate in the formation of fibrils at the surface of the bacteria.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe Fic family of adenylyltransferases, defined by a core HPFx(D/E)GN(G/K)R motif, consists of over 2,700 proteins found in organisms from bacteria to humans. The immunoglobulin-binding protein A (IbpA) from the bacterial pathogen Histophilus somni contains two Fic domains that adenylylate the switch1 tyrosine residue of Rho-family GTPases, allowing the bacteria to subvert host defenses. Here we present the structure of the second Fic domain of IbpA (IbpAFic2) in complex with its substrate, Cdc42. IbpAFic2-bound Cdc42 mimics the GDI-bound state of Rho GTPases, with both its switch1 and switch2 regions gripped by IbpAFic2. Mutations disrupting the IbpAFic2-Cdc42 interface impair adenylylation and cytotoxicity. Notably, the switch1 tyrosine of Cdc42 is adenylylated in the structure, providing the first structural view for this post-translational modification. We also show that the nucleotide-binding mechanism is conserved among Fic proteins and propose a catalytic mechanism for this recently discovered family of enzymes.
