    Abstract Protein function is generally dependent on its subcellular localization. In gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, a protein can be targeted to five different compartments: the cytoplasm, the inner membrane, the periplasm, the outer membrane, and the extracellular medium. Different approaches can be used to determine the protein localization within cell such as in silico identification of protein signal sequences and motifs, electron microscopy and immunogold labeling, optical fluorescence microscopy, and biochemical technics. In this chapter, we describe a simple and efficient method to isolate the different compartments of Escherichia coli by a fractionation method and to determine the presence of the protein of interest. For inner membrane proteins, we propose a method to discriminate between integral and peripheral membrane proteins.

    Abstract Protein-protein interaction studies are essential to understand how proteins organize themselves into interaction networks and thus influence cellular processes. Protein binding specificity depends on the correct three-dimensional folding of the polypeptide sequences. One of the forces involved in the structuring and stability of proteins is the formation of disulfide bonds. These covalent bonds are formed posttranscriptionally by the oxidation of a pair of cysteine residues and can serve structural, catalytic, or signaling roles. Here, we describe an engineered E. coli adenylate cyclase mutant strain with an oxidative cytoplasm that promotes correct folding of proteins with disulfide bonds. This genetic background expands the set of host strains suitable for studying protein-protein interactions in vivo by the adenylate cyclase two-hybrid approach.

    Abstract Filamentous phages are one of the simplest examples of viruses with a protein capsid that protects a circular single-stranded DNA genome. The infection is very specific, nonlytic, and can strongly affect the physiology or provide new pathogenic factors to its bacterial host. The infection process is proposed to rely on a pore-forming mechanism similar to that of certain nonenveloped eukaryotic viruses. The Ff coliphages (including M13, fd, and f1) have been intensively studied and were used to establish the sequence of events taking place for efficient crossing of the host envelope structure. However, the mechanism involved in the penetration of the cell inner membrane is not well understood. Here, we identify new host players involved in the phage translocation mechanism. Interaction studies by a combination of in vivo biochemical methods demonstrate that the adhesion protein pIII located at the tip of the phage binds to TolQ and TolR, two proteins that form a conserved proton-dependent molecular motor in the inner membrane of the host cell. Moreover, in vivo cysteine cross-linking studies reveal that the interactions between the pIII and TolQ or TolR occur between their transmembrane helix domains and may be responding to the proton motive force status of the cell. These results allow us to propose a model for the late stage of filamentous phage translocation mediated by multiple interactions with each individual component of the host TolQRA complex.

    Abstract Efficient cell division of Gram-negative bacteria requires the presence of the Tol-Pal system to coordinate outer membrane (OM) invagination with inner membrane invagination (IM) and peptidoglycan (PG) remodeling. The Tol-Pal system is a trans-envelope complex that connects the three layers of the cell envelope through an energy-dependent process. It is composed of the three IM proteins, TolA, TolQ and TolR, the periplasmic protein TolB and the OM lipoprotein Pal. The proteins of the Tol-Pal system are dynamically recruited to the cell septum during cell division. TolA, the central hub of the Tol-Pal system, has three domains: a transmembrane helix (TolA

    Abstract Chromate is a toxic metal that enters bacteria by using oxyanion importers. Here, we show that each mutant of the Tol-Pal system of Escherichia coli exhibited increased chromate resistance. This system, which spans the cell envelope, plays a major role in envelope integrity and septation. The ΔtolQR mutant accumulated three-fold less chromate than the wild-type. Addition of phosphate but not sulfate to rich medium drastically reduced chromate toxicity and import in the wild-type strain. Furthermore, the intracellular concentration of free inorganic phosphate was significantly reduced for the ΔtolR mutant in comparison to the wild-type strain. Moreover, extracellular labeled phosphate was significantly less incorporated into the ΔtolR mutant. Finally, two distinct TolQR mutant complexes, specifically affected in Tol-Pal energization without affecting the TolQRA complex structure, did not complement the ΔtolQR mutant for inorganic phosphate accumulation. We thus propose that, while the Pst system is well known to import inorganic phosphate, the Tol-Pal system participates to phosphate uptake in particular at medium to high extracellular phosphate concentrations. Since mutations disabling the Tol-Pal system lead to pleiotropic effects, chromate resistance and reduced inorganic phosphate import could occur from an indirect effect of mutations in components of the Tol-Pal system.

    Abstract Filamentous phages are nonlytic viruses that specifically infect bacteria, establishing a persistent association with their host. The phage particle has no machinery for generating energy and parasitizes its host's existing structures in order to cross the bacterial envelope and deliver its genetic material. The import of filamentous phages across the bacterial periplasmic space requires some of the components of a macrocomplex of the envelope known as the Tol system. This complex uses the energy provided by the proton motive force (pmf) of the inner membrane to perform essential and highly energy-consuming functions of the cell, such as envelope integrity maintenance and cell division. It has been suggested that phages take advantage of pmf-driven conformational changes in the Tol system to transit across the periplasm. However, this hypothesis has not been formally tested. In order to decouple the role of the Tol system in cell physiology and during phage parasitism, we used mutations on conserved essential residues known for inactivating pmf-dependent functions of the Tol system. We identified impaired Tol complexes that remain fully efficient for filamentous phage uptake. We further demonstrate that the TolQ-TolR homologous motor ExbB-ExbD, normally operating with the TonB protein, is able to promote phage infection along with full-length TolA.

    Abstract Efficient cell division of Gram-negative bacteria requires the presence of the Tol-Pal system to coordinate outer membrane (OM) invagination with inner membrane invagination (IM) and peptidoglycan (PG) remodeling. The Tol-Pal system is a trans-envelope complex that connects the three layers of the cell envelope through an energy-dependent process. It is composed of the three IM proteins, TolA, TolQ and TolR, the periplasmic protein TolB and the OM lipoprotein Pal. The proteins of the Tol-Pal system are dynamically recruited to the cell septum during cell division. TolA, the central hub of the Tol-Pal system, has three domains: a transmembrane helix (TolA₁), a long second helical periplasmic domain (TolA₂) and a C-terminal globular domain (TolA₃). The TolQR complex uses the PMF to energize TolA, allowing its cyclic interaction via TolA₃ with the OM TolB-Pal complex. Here, we confirm that TolA₂ is sufficient to address TolA to the site of constriction, whereas TolA₁ is recruited by TolQ. Analysis of the protein localization as function of the bacterial cell age revealed that TolA and TolQ localize earlier at midcell in the absence of the other Tol-Pal proteins. These data suggest that TolA and TolQ are delayed from their septal recruitment by the multiple interactions of TolA with TolB-Pal in the cell envelope providing a new example of temporal regulation of proteins recruitment at the septum.
