Four tailspike proteins enable infection of multiple bacterial hosts by the Escherichia coli O157:H7 bacteriophage CBA120. The crystal structure of one of these proteins, TSP4-N-335, reveals its trimeric nature and its role in anchoring the complex to the tail baseplate. Further analyses show that different regions of TSP4 are responsible for binding to other proteins. A 3-dimensional model of the bacteriophage CBA120 TSP complex has been developed based on these findings.
Four tailspike proteins (TSP1-4) of Escherichia coli O157:H7 bacteriophage CBA120 enable infection of multiple hosts. They form a branched complex that attaches to the tail baseplate. Each TSP recognizes a different lipopolysaccharide on the membrane of a different bacterial host. The 335 N-terminal residues of TSP4 promote the assembly of the TSP complex and anchor it to the tail baseplate. The crystal structure of TSP4-N-335 reveals a trimeric protein comprising four domains. The baseplate anchor domain (AD) contains an intertwined triple-stranded beta-helix. The ensuing XD1, XD2 and XD3 beta-sheet containing domains mediate the binding of TSP1-3 to TSP4. Each of the XD domains adopts the same fold as the respective XD domains of bacteriophage T4 gp10 baseplate protein, known to engage in protein-protein interactions via its XD2 and XD3 domains. The structural similarity suggests that XD2 and XD3 of TSP4 also function in protein-protein interactions. Analytical ultracentrifugation analyses of TSP4-N-335 and of domain deletion proteins showed how TSP4-N-335 promotes the formation of the TSP quaternary complex. TSP1 and TSP2 bind directly to TSP4 whereas TSP3 binding requires a pre-formed TSP4-N-335:TSP2 complex. A 3-dimensional model of the bacteriophage CBA120 TSP complex has been developed based on the structural and ultracentrifuge information.
