WaaG is membrane-bound, membrane association mechanism, overview. Binding of WaaG to membranes is analyzed by stopped-flow fluorescence and NMR diffusion experiments. Electrostatic interactions are required to bind WaaG to membranes while mere hydrophobic interactions are not sufficient. WaaG senses the membrane's surface charge density but there is no preferential binding to specific anionic lipids. The binding is weaker than expected for monotopic GTs but similar to peripheral GTs. Therefore, WaaG may be a peripheral GT and this can be of functional relevance in vivo since LPS synthesis occurs only when WaaG is membrane-bound. No C-terminal domain movement is observed under the experimental conditions

GENERAL INFORMATION

LITERATURE
evolution
comparison of the sequence of MG1655, as the reference genome, and of parent strain ML115 reveals the presence of a 768-bp insertion sequence within lipopolysaccharide (LPS) glucosyltransferase I (WaaG). This mutation is implemented unintentionally during the development of ML115. LAR1 and LAR2 both have restored function of WaaG and a single amino acid change within the beta' subunit of RNA polymerase RpoC, and each has a unique mutation in the BasS-BasR two-component signal transduction system. The shared waaG and rpoC mutations are most likely due to the fact that these strains share a common ancestor

CRYSTALLIZATION (Commentary)
ORGANISM
UNIPROT
LITERATURE
an exposed and largely alpha-helical 30-residue sequence, with a net positive charge and several aromatic amino acids, is the putative membrane-interacting region of WaaG. In the presence of dodecylphosphocholine, the membrane-interacting region adopts a three-dimensional structure remarkably similar to the segment in the crystal structure. The interaction of WaaG is conferred at least in part by the membrane-interacting region and electrostatic interactions play a key role in binding. During anchoring of WaaG to the inner membrane of Escherichia coli, the central part of membrane-interacting region inserts into one leaflet of the bilayer. In this model, electrostatic interactions as well as surface-exposed Tyr residues bind WaaG to the membrane
crystals of the enzyme and of its selenomethionine derivative are grown in 0.1 M MES (pH 6.75), 0.2 M NaBr, and 15% PEG 3350 at a protein concentration of 10 mg/ml. Microseeding is necessary to achieve reproducibility of the crystals. Crystals of the complex of the enzyme with UDP-2F-glucose are prepared by addition of 10 mM UDP-2F-glucose to the protein solution prior to crystallization. The structure of the enzyme is solved by single-wavelength anomalous dispersion with a selenomethionine version of the protein, at a resolution of 1.6 A, in the presence of UDP

additional information
reverse engineering of a strain of Escherichia coli previously evolved for increased tolerance of octanoic acid (C8), an attractive biorenewable chemical, resulting in increased C8 production, increased butanol tolerance, and altered membrane properties. Evolution is determined to have occurred first through the restoration of WaaG activity, involved in the production of lipopolysaccharides, then an amino acid change in RpoC, a subunit of RNA polymerase, and finally mutation of the BasS-BasR two component system. The WaaG and RpoC mutations both contribute to increased C8 titers, with the RpoC mutation appearing to be the major driver of this effect. Each of these mutations contributes to changes in the cell membrane. Increased membrane integrity and rigidity and decreased abundance of extracellular polymeric substances can be attributed to the restoration of WaaG. The restoration of waaG occurrs first, and relatively quickly, with only the ML115 version of waaG being observed at the end of the second transfer and only the restored version of waaG (waaGR) being observed at the end of the third transfer. The parent strain with restored WaaG (strain YC005) results in a growth rate and final OD. The evolved strain phenotype can be completely attributed to waaGR and rpoCH419P, the basR mutation is not required
