The structure of a contact-dependent growth-inhibition (CDI) immunity protein fromNeisseria meningitidisMC58

Abstract: Contact-dependent growth inhibition (CDI) is an important mechanism of intercellular competition between neighboring Gram-negative bacteria. CDI systems encode large surface-exposed CdiA effector proteins that carry a variety of C-terminal toxin domains (CdiA-CTs). All CDI + bacteria also produce CdiI immunity proteins that specifically bind to the cognate CdiA-CT and neutralize its toxin activity to prevent auto-inhibition. Here, the X-ray crystal structure of a CdiI immunity protein from Neisseria meningitid… Show more

“…CdiI ECL is structurally similar to the Whirly family of single-stranded DNA binding proteins 26; 47 , but was recently proposed to have evolved from an ancestral SUKH family immunity protein 38; 48 . Intriguingly, the CdiI o2 MC58-1 immunity protein encoded by locus NMB0503 of Neisseria meningiditis MC58 also shares some structural homology with Whirly proteins 49 . The cognate toxin for this latter immunity protein is a predicted EndoU RNase 37; 49 .…”

“…Intriguingly, the CdiI o2 MC58-1 immunity protein encoded by locus NMB0503 of Neisseria meningiditis MC58 also shares some structural homology with Whirly proteins 49 . The cognate toxin for this latter immunity protein is a predicted EndoU RNase 37; 49 . Because EndoU and BECR toxin folds are related 37 , it appears that the Ntox21 and EndoU nuclease families evolved from a common ancestor that was associated with an SUKH immunity protein.…”

“…This type of species competition has been discovered in several Gram-negative microorganisms including E. coli [28,30,32,[35][36][37][38][40][41][42][43][44][47][48][49][50][51], Burkholderia spp. (Burkholderia thailandensis, Burkholderia dolosa) [52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59], N. meningitidis [60], P. aeruginosa [61][62][63][64], and Acinetobacter spp. (A. baumannii, Acinetobacter baylyi) [65][66][67][68] (Table 1), while proteins similar to CdiA-CT toxin were identified also in Gram-positive species including Bacillus, Listeria, Clostridium, and Streptococcus [31].…”
