    Abstract Lysis of Gram-negative bacteria by dsDNA phages is accomplished through either the canonical holin-endolysin pathway or the pinholin-SAR endolysin pathway. During lysis, the outer membrane (OM) is disrupted, typically by two-component spanins or unimolecular spanins. However, in the absence of spanins, phages use alternative proteins called Disruptin to disrupt the OM. The Disruptin family includes the cationic antimicrobial peptide gp28, which is found in the virulent podophage φKT. In this study, EPR spectroscopy was used to analyze the dynamics and topology of gp28 incorporated into a lipid bilayer, revealing differences in mobility, depth parameter, and membrane interaction among different segments and residues of the protein. Our results indicate that multiple points of helix 2 and helix 3 interact with the phospholipid membrane, while others are solvent-exposed, suggesting that gp28 is a surface-bound peptide. The CW-EPR power saturation data and helical wheel analysis confirmed the amphipathic-helical structure of gp28. Additionally, course-grain molecular dynamics simulations were further used to develop the structural model of the gp28 peptide associated with the lipid bilayers. Based on the data obtained in this study, we propose a structural topology model for gp28 with respect to the membrane. This work provides important insights into the structural and dynamic properties of gp28 incorporated into a lipid bilayer environment.

    Abstract The bacteriophage infection cycle plays a crucial role in recycling the world’s biomass. Bacteriophages devise various cell lysis systems to strictly control the length of the infection cycle for an efficient phage life cycle. Phages evolved with lysis protein systems, which can control and fine-tune the length of this infection cycle depending on the host and growing environment. Among these lysis proteins, holin controls the first and rate-limiting step of host cell lysis by permeabilizing the inner membrane at an allele-specific time and concentration hence known as the simplest molecular clock. Pinholin S²¹ is the holin from phage Φ21, which defines the cell lysis time through a predefined ratio of active pinholin and antipinholin (inactive form of pinholin). Active pinholin and antipinholin fine-tune the lysis timing through structural dynamics and conformational changes. Previously we reported the structural dynamics and topology of active pinholin S²¹68. Currently, there is no detailed structural study of the antipinholin using biophysical techniques. In this study, the structural dynamics and topology of antipinholin S²¹68IRS in DMPC proteoliposomes is investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic techniques. Continuous-wave (CW) EPR line shape analysis experiments of 35 different R1 side chains of S²¹68IRS indicated restricted mobility of the transmembrane domains (TMDs), which were predicted to be inside the lipid bilayer when compared to the N- and C-termini R1 side chains. In addition, the R1 accessibility test performed on 24 residues using the CW-EPR power saturation experiment indicated that TMD1 and TMD2 of S²¹68IRS were incorporated into the lipid bilayer where N- and C-termini were located outside of the lipid bilayer. Based on this study, a tentative model of S²¹68IRS is proposed where both TMDs remain incorporated into the lipid bilayer and N- and C-termini are located outside of the lipid bilayer. This work will pave the way for the further studies of other holins using biophysical techniques and will give structural insights into these biological clocks in molecular detail.
