===Pilus Model=== | |||
The theoretical ''Geobacter sulfurreducens'' pilus model shown here, called ''ARC-1''<ref name="xiao1">Xiao et al., ''Scientific Reports'', March 2016: [http://www.nature.com/articles/srep23385 nature.com/articles/srep23385].</ref> (<scene name='69/699340/Arc-1_no_hydrogen/1'>restore initial scene</scene>), is representative of a cluster of 50 low-energy models with an arrangement of aromatic rings consistent with X-ray diffraction data<ref name="malvankar2015">PMID: 25736881</ref>. Unlike the docking of crystallographic models into electron density from cryo-electron microscopy<ref>PMID: 16949362</ref><ref>PMID: 12769840</ref>, these models have chemically realistic interactions between subunit chains. Energy minimization produced subunit interactions with shape complementarity, non-covalent bonds, and very few atomic clashes<ref>The chemical realism of these theoretical energy-minimized models contrasts with models where empirical monomer structures are docked into cryo-electron microscopic electron density maps. Those are unrealistic in details of subunit interactions, lacking shape complementarity and having many atomic clashes. See "Initial Model Outputs" in [http://www.nature.com/articles/srep23385 the publication] for details.</ref>. | |||
===Monomer Chains=== | |||
This ARC-1 model contains 21 chains of pilA<ref>Each chain contains the 61 C-terminal amino acids of [http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q74D23 UniProt Q74D23].</ref> of ''Geobacter sulfurreducens''. The 21 chains were restrained to have <scene name='69/699340/Arc-1_no_hydrogen/2'>identical conformations</scene>. Amino acids 3-50 are <scene name='69/699340/Arc-1_no_hydrogen/3'>alpha-helical, with a slight bend at Pro22</scene>. Modeling was initiated with model 1 of NMR ensemble [[2m7g]] of ''Geobacter sulfurreducens''. The monomers in ARC-1 are only slightly different from the initial conformation: | |||

* <scene name='69/699340/2m7g_mdl1_vs_arc1_chaink/2'>Compare sidechains</scene>. | |||
===Stacked Aromatic Rings=== | |||
The ARC-1 model (and others of its cluster) are the first chemically realistic pilus models that can account for the electrical conductivity of these pili in terms of a core of stacked aromatic rings. These models are consistent with multiple lines of experimental evidence including X-ray diffraction suggesting stacked aromatics<ref name="xiao1" /><ref name="malvankar2015" />. | |||
Each pilA chain contains <scene name='69/699340/Arc-1_no_hydrogen/9'>six aromatic amino acids</scene>. In the pilus assembly, <scene name='69/699340/Arc-1_no_hydrogen/10'>half of the aromatic rings form a helical chain in the core, while the other half are near the surface</scene>. | |||
The aromatic <scene name='69/699340/Arc-1_no_hydrogen/11'>rings in the core are closely packed</scene>. The core aromatic rings are <scene name='69/699340/Arc-1_no_hydrogen/13'>Phe1, Phe24 and Tyr27</scene>. | |||
===Salt Bridges=== | |||
80% of the 50 lowest-energy models have a [[Salt bridges|salt bridge]] between Arg41 and Asp39 in different chains. | |||
* <scene name='69/699340/Arc-1_no_hydrogen/14'>Salt bridges stabilize the pilus</scene> (Arg41:Asp39, sidechain nitrogens and oxygens). | |||
* <scene name='69/699340/Arc-1_no_hydrogen/15'>Single salt bridge between chains J and K</scene>. | |||
===Monomers Per Turn=== | |||
The ARC-1 model has 6.4 monomer chains per turn (56.0 degrees rotation between monomers). This is more chains/turn than some previous type IV pilus models. Among the 50 models with lowest energy in the cluster including ARC-1, chains/turn ranged from 5.0 to 7.6. | |||
To visualize chains/turn, we show <scene name='69/699340/Arc-1_no_hydrogen/18'>just one atom per protein monomer chain</scene> (alpha carbon of Phe51). Then these chain-marking-atoms are <scene name='69/699340/Arc-1_no_hydrogen/20'>connected with with rods</scene>, and the resulting helix is viewed from one end. When counting the chains/turn, bear in mind that the first and last (to complete one turn) count as 1/2 chain each. | |||
