Versatile modes of peptide recognition by the AAA+ adaptor protein SspB- the crystal structure of a SspB-RseA complex
Structural highlights
Function[SSPB_ECOLI] Enhances recognition of ssrA-tagged proteins by the ClpX-ClpP protease; the ssrA degradation tag (AANDENYALAA) is added trans-translationally to proteins that are stalled on the ribosome, freeing the ribosome and targeting stalled peptides for degradation. SspB activates the ATPase activity of ClpX. Seems to act in concert with SspA in the regulation of several proteins during exponential and stationary-phase growth.[1] [2] [3] Also stimulates degradation of the N-terminus of RseA (residues 1-108, alone or in complex with sigma-E) by ClpX-ClpP in a non-ssrA-mediated fashion.[4] [5] [6] [RSEA_ECOLI] Negative regulator of RpoE.

Publication Abstract from PubMedEnergy-dependent proteases often rely on adaptor proteins to modulate substrate recognition. The SspB adaptor binds peptide sequences in the stress-response regulator RseA and in ssrA-tagged proteins and delivers these molecules to the AAA+ ClpXP protease for degradation. The structure of SspB bound to an ssrA peptide is known. Here, we report the crystal structure of a complex between SspB and its recognition peptide in RseA. Notably, the RseA sequence is positioned in the peptide-binding groove of SspB in a direction opposite to the ssrA peptide, the two peptides share only one common interaction with the adaptor, and the RseA interaction site is substantially larger than the overlapping ssrA site. This marked diversity in SspB recognition of different target proteins indicates that it is capable of highly flexible and dynamic substrate delivery.
