In vivo elucidation of molecular mechanisms that control the downregulation of the novel redox-system HbpS-SenS-SenR. Results: Using a set of specifically generated HbpS mutants, and SDSL EPR spectroscopy, we show the octomeric assembly of HbpS in solution, and demonstrate that iron-mediated stress induces conformational changes in HbpS subunits within the octamer. We further demonstrate that the catalase-peroxidase CpeB protects HbpS from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-mediated oxidative attack in vivo. Moreover, chromosomal inactivation of cpeB results in an enhanced sensitivity of the mutant to redox-cycling compounds. Innovation: SDSL EPR has been used in this work for the first time to monitor redox-mediated conformational changes in a redox-sensing protein in solution. This work substantially explains redox-dependent dynamics in HbpS at the atomic level, and presents novel molecular mechanisms supporting downregulation of a signaling cascade. Conclusion: Iron-mediated stress induces movements of subunits within the HbpS octomeric assembly. We suggest a motion of the C-terminal a-helix toward the preceding helical segment. These events upregulate the activity of the HbpS-SenS-SenR system, in which HbpS acts as an accessory element. The mycelia-associated CpeB, under the control of HbpS-SenS-SenR, protects the extracellular HbpS from oxidation in vivo. Thus, de novo synthesized HbpS proteins downregulate the HbpS-SenS-SenR signaling cascade. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 16, 639-648. |
