Function
MAMM_MAGGM Essential for magnetosome formation; required for stable accumulation of MamB (PubMed:22007638). May nucleate iron crystal formation (Probable). Probably binds and transports iron. Binds divalent cations, possibly up to 3 Zn(2+) per dimer in vitro, probably iron in vivo (Probable) (PubMed:30811856). One of 7 genes (mamLQBIEMO) able to induce magnetosome membrane biogenesis; coexpression of mamLQRBIEMO in a deletion of the 17 gene mamAB operon restores magnetosome vesicle formation but not magnetite biosynthesis (PubMed:27286560).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Cation diffusion facilitators (CDF) are part of a highly conserved protein family that maintains cellular divalent cation homeostasis in all domains of life. CDF's were shown to be involved in several human diseases, such as Type-II diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. In this work, we employed a multi-disciplinary approach to study the activation mechanism of the CDF protein family. For this we used MamM, one of the main ion transporters of magnetosomes - bacterial organelles that enable magnetotactic bacteria to orientate along geomagnetic fields. Our results reveal that the cytosolic domain of MamM forms a stable dimer that undergoes distinct conformational changes upon divalent cation binding. MamM conformational change is associated with three metal binding sites that were identified and characterized. Altogether, our results provide a novel auto-regulation mode of action model in which the cytosolic domain's conformational changes upon ligand binding allows the priming of the CDF into its transport mode.
