Three small partner proteins facilitate the type VII-dependent secretion export of an antibacterial nuclease
Open accessPreprint — published as 10.1128/mbio.02100-23 · Paper page
Abstract
Summary: The type VIIb protein secretion system (T7SSb) plays a role in interbacterial competition in Gram-positive Firmicute bacteria and secretes various toxic effector proteins. The mechanism of secretion and the roles of numerous conserved genes within T7SSb gene clusters remain unknown. EsaD is a nuclease toxin secreted by the Staphylococcus aureus T7SSb, which forms a complex with its cognate immunity protein, EsaG, and chaperone EsaE. Encoded upstream of EsaD are three small secreted proteins, EsxB, EsxC and EsxD. Here we show that EsxBCD bind to the transport domain of EsaD and function as EsaD export factors. We report the first structural information for a complete T7SSb substrate pre-secretion complex. Cryo-EM of the EsaDEG trimer and the EsaDEG-EsxBCD hexamer shows that incorporation of EsxBCD confers a conformation comprising a flexible globular cargo domain attached to a long narrow shaft that is likely to be crucial for efficient toxin export.

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.
