Crystal structure of the Salmonella SpvB ATR Domain
|
OverviewOverview
Salmonella spp. require the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of the SpvB, protein for intracellular growth and systemic virulence. SpvB covalently, modifies actin, causing cytoskeletal disruption and apoptosis. We report, here the crystal structure of the catalytic domain of SpvB, and we show by, mass spectrometric analysis that SpvB modifies actin at Arg177, inhibiting, its ATPase activity. We also describe two crystal structures of, SpvB-modified, polymerization-deficient actin. These structures reveal, that ADP-ribosylation does not lead to dramatic conformational changes in, actin, suggesting a model in which this large family of toxins inhibits, actin polymerization primarily through steric disruption of intrafilament, contacts.
