Function

FIMH_ECOLI Involved in regulation of length and mediation of adhesion of type 1 fimbriae (but not necessary for the production of fimbriae). Adhesin responsible for the binding to D-mannose. It is laterally positioned at intervals in the structure of the type 1 fimbriae. In order to integrate FimH in the fimbriae FimF and FimG are needed.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The FimH type-1 fimbrial adhesin allows pathogenic Escherichia coli to adhere to glycoproteins in the epithelial linings of human bladder and intestinal tract, by using multiple fimbriae simultaneously. Pauci- and high-mannose type N-glycans are natural FimH receptors on those glycoproteins. Oligomannose-3 and oligomannose-5 bind with the highest affinity to FimH by using the same Manalpha1,3Man branch. Oligomannose-6 is generated from oligomannose-5 in the next step of the biogenesis of high-mannose N-glycans, by the transfer of a mannose in alpha1,2-linkage onto this branch. Using serial crystallography and by measuring the kinetics of binding, we demonstrate that shielding the high-affinity epitope drives the binding of multiple FimH molecules. First, we profiled FimH glycan binding on a microarray containing paucimannosidic N-glycans and in a FimH LEctPROFILE assay. To make the transition to oligomannose-6, we measured the kinetics of FimH binding using paucimannosidic N-glycans, glycoproteins and all four alpha-dimannosides conjugated to bovine serum albumin. Equimolar mixed interfaces of the dimannosides present in oligomannose-6 and molecular dynamics simulations suggest a positive cooperativity in the bivalent binding of Manalpha1,3Manalpha1 and Manalpha1,6Manalpha1 dimannosides. The binding of core alpha1,6-fucosylated oligomannose-3 in cocrystals of FimH is monovalent but interestingly the GlcNAc1-Fuc moiety retains highly flexibility. In cocrystals with oligomannose-6, two FimH bacterial adhesins bind the Manalpha1,3Manalpha1 and Manalpha1,6Manalpha1 endings of the second trimannose core (A-4'-B). This cooperative switch towards bivalent binding appears sustainable beyond a molar excess of oligomannose-6. Our findings provide important novel structural insights for the design of multivalent FimH antagonists that bind with positive cooperativity.
