Multi-domain, cell-envelope proteinases of lactic acid bacteria.

Siezen, Roland J.·1999·Antonie van Leeuwenhoek

Abstract

The multi-domain, cell-envelope proteinases encoded by the genes prtB of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, prtH of Lactobacillus helveticus, prtP of Lactococcus lactis, scpA of Streptococcus pyogenes and csp of Streptococcus agalactiae have been compared using multiple sequence alignment, secondary structure prediction and database homology searching methods. This comparative analysis has led to the prediction of a number of different domains in these cell-envelope proteinases, and their homology, characteristics and putative function are described. These domains include, starting from the N-terminus, a pre-pro-domain for secretion and activation, a serine protease domain (with a smaller inserted domain), two large middle domains A and B of unknown but possibly regulatory function, a helical spacer domain, a hydrophilic cell-wall spacer or attachment domain, and a cell-wall anchor domain. Not all domains are present in each cell-envelope proteinase, suggesting that these multi-domain proteins are the result of gene shuffling and domain swapping during evolution.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Lactococcal PrtP proteinases are characterized by a signal sequence at the N-terminus that is cleaved during secretion across the membrane, and a LPXTG sorting motif followed by a hydrophobic membrane-spanning region and a positively charged tail at the C-terminus.

    “Like other CWAP, the lactococcal PrtP proteinases are characterized by a signal sequence at the N-terminus that is cleaved during secretion across the membrane; and a LPXTG sorting motif followed by a hydrophobic membrane-spanning region and a positively charged tail at the C-terminus [25].”
  • The cell envelope proteinase (CEP) of Lactococcus lactis is a large extracellular protease covalently linked to the peptidoglycan of the cell wall.

    “The cell envelope proteinase (CEP) of Lactococcus lactis is a large extracellular protease covalently linked to the peptidoglycan of the cell wall.”

  • The first 520 amino acid region has previously been recognized as the protease domain with homology to subtilisin.

    “This region has previously been recognized as the protease domain with homology to subtilisin (Siezen, 1999).”

  • The domain between residue 1570 and 1800 was termed the H-domain by Siezen due to the predicted helical secondary structure.

    “The domain between residue 1570 and 1800 was termed the H-domain by Siezen due to the predicted helical secondary structure (Siezen, 1999).”

    From Modeled Structure of the Cell Envelope Proteinase of Lactococcus lactis (2020) · cites this paper as Siezen, 1999

  • Four of the six models extend beyond the catalytic domain and cover the A domain as defined by Siezen, and the Phyre2 structure extends well into the B domain before turning into an unstructured leash.

    “Four of the six models described in section “The proteinase domain” extends beyond the catalytic domain and covers also the A domain as defined by Siezen (1999) and the Phyre2 structure extends well into the B domain before turning into an unstructured leash.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
