To identify a protein target for the development of a new therapeutic against C. jejuni infection, each gene product of C. jejuni must be functionally characterized. The cj0554 gene of C. jejuni encodes a DUF2891 family protein with unknown functions. To provide functional insights into CJ0554, we determined and analyzed the crystal structure of the CJ0554 protein. CJ0554 adopts an (alpha/alpha)(6)-barrel structure, which consists of an inner alpha(6) ring and an outer alpha(6) ring. CJ0554 assembles into a dimer in a unique top-to-top orientation that is not observed in its structural homologs, N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase superfamily members. Dimer formation was verified by analyzing CJ0554 and its ortholog protein through gel-filtration chromatography. The top of the CJ0554 monomer barrel harbors a cavity, which is connected to that of the second subunit in the dimer structure, generating a larger intersubunit cavity. This elongated cavity accommodates extra nonproteinaceous electron density, presumably as a pseudosubstrate, and is lined with generally catalytically active histidine residues that are invariant in CJ0554 orthologs. Therefore, we propose that the cavity functions as the active site of CJ0554.
