Abstract

Dynamin-like proteins are membrane remodeling GTPases with well-understood functions in eukaryotic cells. However, bacterial Dynamin-like proteins are still poorly investigated. Syn DLP, the Dynamin-like protein of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, forms ordered oligomers in solution. The 3.7 Å resolution cryo-EM structure of Syn DLP oligomers reveals the presence of oligomeric stalk interfaces typical for eukaryotic Dynamin-like proteins. The bundle signaling element domain shows distinct features, such as an intramolecular disulfide bridge that affects the GTPase activity, or an expanded intermolecular interface with the GTPase domain. Such atypical GTPase domain interfaces might be a GTPase activity regulating tool in oligomerized Syn DLP. Furthermore, we show that Syn DLP interacts with and intercalates into membranes containing negatively charged thylakoid membrane lipids. Syn DLP is able to fuse membranes in a nucleotide-independent process in vitro. Thus, we assign Syn DLP to the subclass of fusogenic Dynamin-like proteins.

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.
