Structural basis for methylesterase CheB regulation by a phosphorylation-activated domain

Abstract: We report the x-ray crystal structure of the methylesterase CheB, a phosphorylation-activated response regulator involved in reversible modification of bacterial chemotaxis receptors. Methylesterase CheB and methyltransferase CheR modulate signaling output of the chemotaxis receptors by controlling the level of receptor methylation. The structure of CheB, which consists of an N-terminal regulatory domain and a C-terminal catalytic domain joined by a linker, was solved by molecular replacement methods using ind… Show more

“…These insertions presumably activated WspR via disruption of the interface between the two domains, a mechanism common to many responseregulator activation mechanisms (Eldridge et al, 2002;Park et al, 2002;Muchova et al, 2004). A comparison of the domain interaction surfaces of four full-length, two-domain response-regulator crystal structures (Robinson et al, 2003) suggests that the activation mechanisms of the different proteins, NarL (Baikalov et al, 1996), CheB (Djordjevic et al, 1998), DrrD (Buckler et al, 2002) and DrrB (Robinson et al, 2003), vary with the extent of their interdomain interfaces. For example, comparison of the DrrB and DrrD crystal structures suggests that different levels of intramolecular communication between the N-and C-terminal domains lead to significant differences in effector-domain regulation in each case (Robinson et al, 2003).…”

“…In this model, the C-terminal effector domain is inhibited in the inactive state by the N-terminal domain. Regulation through effector-domain inhibition occurs in a number of response regulators, including E. coli NarL (Baikalov et al, 1996;Eldridge et al, 2002) and S. typhimurium CheB (Djordjevic et al, 1998). Phosphorylation (Fig.…”

“…61 Another notable feature of the OmpR/PhoB subfamily is that in the inactive state the DNA recognition helix of the effector domain is freely exposed to the solvent 33,34 making it readily available for DNA binding in contrast to other RRs in which the functional regions of the effector domains are occluded by the unphosphorylated regulatory domains. 27,28 Taking into account these marked differences, it is hypothesized that members of the OmpR/PhoB subfamily use a common mechanism of regulation by dimerization.…”

“…These interactions form the basis for a variety of different inter-and intramolecular regulatory mechanisms such as the binding of CheY-P to FliM 59 and CheZ, 60 the formation of homodimers of phosphorylated FixJ, 46 the alternation between different dimeric states in DctD, 61,62 and the inhibitory contacts between the unphosphorylated regulatory and effector domains of NarL 27 and CheB. 28 An analysis of residue conservation at the α4-β5-α5 face of the three major subfamilies of RR transcription factors (OmpR/PhoB, NarL/FixJ, and NtrC/DctD) revealed important differences that distinguish the OmpR/PhoB subfamily from the others. The Consurf Server 63 (http://consurf.tau.ac.il) was used to map the conservation of residues identified in a multiple sequence alignment of members of each subfamily onto the three-dimensional structure of one of its representative members in an activated state (Fig.…”
