Structure of GDP bound BipA
Structural highlights
FunctionBIPA_ECO27 A 50S ribosomal subunit assembly protein with GTPase activity, required for 50S subunit assembly at low temperatures, may also play a role in translation. Binds GTP and analogs. Binds the 70S ribosome between the 30S and 50S subunits, in a similar position as ribosome-bound EF-G; it contacts a number of ribosomal proteins, both rRNAs and the A-site tRNA (By similarity). GTPase that impacts interactions between enteropathogenic E.coli (EPEC) and epithelial cells and also has an effect on motility (PubMed:9622352).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00849][1] Publication Abstract from PubMedBPI-inducible protein A (BipA) is a member of the family of ribosome-dependent translational GTPase (trGTPase) factors along with elongation factors G and 4 (EF-G and EF4). Despite being highly conserved in bacteria and playing a critical role in coordinating cellular responses to environmental changes, its structures (isolated and ribosome bound) remain elusive. Here, we present the crystal structures of apo form and GTP analog, GDP, and guanosine-3',5'-bisdiphosphate (ppGpp)-bound BipA. In addition to having a distinctive domain arrangement, the C-terminal domain of BipA has a unique fold. Furthermore, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of BipA bound to the ribosome in its active GTP form and elucidate the unique structural attributes of BipA interactions with the ribosome and A-site tRNA in the light of its possible function in regulating translation.
