Abstract
TrwB is an integral membrane protein linking the relaxosome to the DNA transport apparatus in plasmid R388 conjugation. Native TrwB has been purified in monomeric and hexameric forms, in the presence of dodecylmaltoside from overexpressing bacterial cells. A truncated protein (TrwBDeltaN70) that lacked the transmembrane domain could be purified only in the monomeric form. Electron microscopy images revealed the hexameric structure and were in fact superimposable to the previously published atomic structure for TrwBDeltaN70. In addition, the electron micrographs showed an appendix, approximately 25 A wide, corresponding to the transmembrane region of TrwB. TrwB was located in the bacterial inner membrane in agreement with its proposed coupling role. Purified TrwB hexamers and monomers bound tightly the fluorescent ATP analogue TNP-ATP. A mutant in the Walker A motif, TrwB-K136T, was equally purified and found to bind TNP-ATP with a similar affinity to that of the wild type. However, the TNP-ATP affinity of TrwBDeltaN70 was significantly reduced in comparison with the TrwB hexamers. Competition experiments in which ATP was used to displace TNP-ATP gave an estimate of ATP binding by TrwB (K(d)((ATP)) = 0.48 mm for hexamers). The transmembrane domain appears to be involved in TrwB protein hexamerization and also influences its nucleotide binding properties.
