The catalytic A1 subunit of Stx2a (Stx2A1) interacts with the ribosomal P-stalk for loading onto the ribosome and depurination of the sarcin-ricin loop, which halts protein synthesis. Because of the intrinsic flexibility of the P-stalk, a structure of the Stx2a-P-stalk complex is currently unknown. We demonstrated that the native P-stalk pentamer binds to Stx2a with nanomolar affinity, and we employed cryo-EM to determine a structure of the 72 kDa Stx2a complexed with the P-stalk. The structure identifies Stx2A1 residues involved in binding and reveals that Stx2a is anchored to the P-stalk via only the last six amino acids from the C-terminal domain of a single P-protein. For the first time, the cryo-EM structure shows the loop connecting Stx2A1 and Stx2A2, which is critical for activation of the toxin. Our principal component analysis of the cryo-EM data reveals the intrinsic dynamics of the Stx2a-P-stalk interaction, including conformational changes in the P-stalk binding site occurring upon complex formation. Our computational analysis unveils the propensity for structural rearrangements within the C-terminal domain, with its C-terminal six amino acids transitioning from a random coil to an alpha-helix upon binding to Stx2a. In conclusion, our cryo-EM structure sheds new light into the dynamics of the Stx2a-P-stalk interaction and indicates that the binding interface between Stx2a and the P-stalk is the potential target for drug discovery.
