In order to investigate the function of BdcA at a molecular level, we integrated structural and functional studies. Our 2.05 A structure of BdcA shows that it is a member of the NAD(P)(H)-dependent short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily. Structural comparisons with other members of the SDR family suggested that BdcA binds NADP(H). This was demonstrated experimentally using thermal denaturation studies, which showed that BcdA binds specifically to NADPH. Subsequent ITC experiments further confirmed this result and reported a Kd of 25.9 microM. Thus, BdcA represents the newest member of the limited number of oxidoreductases shown to be involved in quorum sensing and biofilm dispersal. BdcA, a protein important for Escherichia coli biofilm dispersal, is a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase that binds specifically to NADPH.,Lord DM, Baran AU, Wood TK, Peti W, Page R PLoS One. 2014 Sep 22;9(9):e105751. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0105751., eCollection 2014.
