The N-terminal Domain of PILB from Neisseria meningitidis Is a Disulfide Reductase That Can Recycle Methionine Sulfoxide Reductases

Abstract: The PilB protein of the Neisseria genus comprises three domains. Two forms have been recently reported to be produced in vivo. One form, containing the three domains, is secreted from the bacterial cytoplasm to the outer membrane, whereas the second form, which is cytoplasmic, only contains the central and the C-terminal domains. The secreted form was shown to be involved in survival under oxidative conditions. Although previous studies indicated that the central and the Cterminal domains display methionine su… Show more

“…The carboxy-terminal domain possesses MsrB methionine sulfoxide reductase activity specific for the R isomer of methionine sulfoxide, and a central domain has the complementary MsrA activity with specificity for the S isomer (16). The amino-terminal domain contains a signal sequence and possesses a disulfide reductase activity that can recycle methionine sulfoxide reductases (30). This activity allows recycling of MsrA and MsrB activity in the periplasm, a task usually performed by thioredoxin in other species where methionine sulfoxide reductases are cytoplasmic (6).…”

“…The recombinant NT domain from N. meningitidis has been shown to reduce the individual, oxidized MsrA and MsrB domains similar to eTrx (3). A unique surface loop near the active site was identified (13).…”

“…Like many other proteins with a Trx fold, the NT domain presents a Trp-Cys-Xaa-Xaa-Cys catalytic motif that undergoes oxidation-reduction cycling. The redox potential of this motif (Ϫ227 to Ϫ232 mV) from N. meningitidis PilB is slightly more oxidizing than the redox potential of Escherichia coli Trx (eTrx, Ϫ270 mV) (3).…”

“…It is noteworthy that MsrB proteins do not display any sequence or structural homology with MsrA. In Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the protein PILB is composed of three subdomains, a domain with thioredoxin-like activity in the N terminus, a domain displaying MsrA activity, and the last one strikingly similar to human SelX, a selenoprotein that exhibits MsrB activity (Olry et al, 2002;Wu et al, 2005). Selenoproteins contain the rare amino acid selenocysteine instead of Cys.…”
