Publication Abstract from PubMedExoT belongs to the family of type 3 secretion system (T3SS) effector toxins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, known to be one of the major virulence determinant toxins that cause chronic and acute infections in immuno-compromised individuals, burn victims and cystic fibrosis patients. Here, we report the X-ray crystal structure of the amino terminal fragment of effector toxin ExoT, in complex with full-length homodimeric chaperone SpcS at 2.1 A resolution. The full-length dimeric chaperone SpcS has the conserved alpha-beta-beta-beta-alpha-beta-beta-alpha fold of class I chaperones, the characteristic hydrophobic patches for binding effector proteins and a conserved polar cavity at the dimeric interface. The stable crystallized amino terminal fragment of ExoT consists of a chaperone binding domain and a membrane localization domain that wraps around the dimeric chaperone. Site-directed mutagenesis experiments and a molecular dynamics study complement each other in revealing Asn65, Phe67 and Trp88 as critical dimeric interfacial residues that can strongly influence the effector-chaperone interactions. DATABASE: The atomic coordinates and structure factors of ExoT-SpcS complex (code 4JMF) have been deposited in the Protein Data Bank Japan (PDBj), Institute for Protein Research, Osaka University.
