Spiral structure of E. coli RavA in the RavA-LdcI cage-like complex
Structural highlights
Function[J7QAN2_ECOLX] Functions as an ATPase. May play a role in metal insertion (metal-chelatase) or as a chaperone.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01625] [RAVA_ECOLI] Functions as an ATPase. May play a role in metal insertion (metal-chelatase) or as a chaperone.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01625] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe hexameric MoxR AAA+ ATPase RavA and the decameric lysine decarboxylase LdcI form a 3.3 MDa cage, proposed to assist assembly of specific respiratory complexes in E. coli. Here, we show that inside the LdcI-RavA cage, RavA hexamers adopt an asymmetric spiral conformation in which the nucleotide-free seam is constrained to two opposite orientations. Cryo-EM reconstructions of free RavA reveal two co-existing structural states: an asymmetric spiral, and a flat C2-symmetric closed ring characterised by two nucleotide-free seams. The closed ring RavA state bears close structural similarity to the pseudo two-fold symmetric crystal structure of the AAA+ unfoldase ClpX, suggesting a common ATPase mechanism. Based on these structures, and in light of the current knowledge regarding AAA+ ATPases, we propose different scenarios for the ATP hydrolysis cycle of free RavA and the LdcI-RavA cage-like complex, and extend the comparison to other AAA+ ATPases of clade 7.
