IcmQ associates with IcmR, binds to membranes, and has a critical role in the T4bSS. We have now solved a crystal structure of IcmR-IcmQ to further our understanding of this complex. This structure revealed an amphipathic four-helix bundle, formed by IcmR and the N-terminal domain of IcmQ, which is linked to a novel C-terminal domain of IcmQ (Qc) by a linker helix. The Qc domain has structural homology with ADP ribosyltransferase domains in certain bacterial toxins and binds NAD(+) with a dissociation constant in the physiological range. Structural homology and molecular dynamics were used to identify an extended NAD(+) binding site on Qc, and the resulting model was tested by mutagenesis and binding assays. Based on the data, we suggest that IcmR-IcmQ binds to membranes, where it may interact with, or perhaps modify, a protein in the T4bSS when NAD(+) is bound. IcmQ in the Type 4b secretion system contains an NAD+ binding domain.,Farelli JD, Gumbart JC, Akey IV, Hempstead A, Amyot W, Head JF, McKnight CJ, Isberg RR, Akey CW Structure. 2013 Aug 6;21(8):1361-73. doi: 10.1016/j.str.2013.05.017.
