Identification of Basic Amino Acid Residues Important for Citrate Binding by the Periplasmic Receptor Domain of the Sensor Kinase CitA

Abstract: The sensor kinase CitA and the response regulator CitB of Klebsiella pneumoniae form the paradigm of a subfamily of bacterial two-component regulatory systems that are capable of sensing tri- or dicarboxylates in the environment and then induce transporters for the uptake of these compounds. We recently showed that the separated periplasmic domain of CitA, termed CitAP (encompasses residues 45-176 supplemented with an N-terminal methionine residue and a C-terminal hexahistidine tag), is a highly specific citra… Show more

“…Available data on the interaction between agonists and HPKs were obtained primarily with kinases containing a periplasmic sensor domain. The affinity of HPKs for their cognate agonists was found to be in the micromolar range, as exemplified by CitA, which has a K D of 5.5 M for citrate (29), and NarX and PhoQ, which have apparent affinities of Ϸ35 M for nitrate and Ϸ300 M for Mg 2ϩ ions, respectively (30,31). Here we show that TodS binds agonists with much higher affinities than those just mentioned.…”

“…For instance, CitA has a K d of 5.5 M for the binding of citrate (23), and NarX and PhoQ have apparent affinities of Ϸ35 M for nitrate and Ϸ300 M for Mg 2ϩ ions, respectively (24,25). The high affinity of TodS for toluene assures that bacteria activate transcription and use it as a carbon source at very low concentrations, as expected for a volatile chemical.…”
