additional information | construction of deletion mutant strains DELTAeppA, DELTAeppADELTAaglB, and DELTAflakDELTAeppA. AglB is the oligosaccharyltransferase responsible for the terminal step in the N-linked glycosylation pathway. In the DELTAeppA mutant where the signal peptide is not be removed from the pilins, the proteins EpdE and EpdD migrate faster than the same proteins in wild-type cells, despite the fact the proteins are larger due to the additional signal peptide in the DELTAeppA strain. In the DELTAaglBDELTAeppA double mutant, the electrophoretic mobility of EpdE-FLAG and EpdD-FLAG is the same as it was in the DELTAeppA strain | Methanococcus maripaludis |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | FlaK can only process archaellins and EppA only pilins | Methanococcus maripaludis |
evolution | in Methanococcus maripaludis, the pilins have their own dedicated prepilin peptidase, EppA, which cleaves the signal peptide from pilins but not archaellins. This is in contrast to other studied Archaea which have a single prepilin peptidase-like enzyme, PibD, that cleaves all type IV pilin-like proteins, including archaellins, pilins and sugar binding proteins. Pilins in the organism are encoded by five genes, epdA-E. FlaK can only process archaellins and EppA only pilins | Methanococcus maripaludis |
additional information | in Methanococcus maripaludis, the archaella are composed of three structural glycoproteins (the archaellins, FlaB1, FlaB2 and FlaB3) that are all modified at multiple positions with an N-linked tetrasaccharide | Methanococcus maripaludis |
physiological function | Methanococcus maripaludis has two different surface appendages: type IV-like pili and archaella. Both structures are believed to be assembled using a bacterial type IV pilus mechanism. Each structure is composed of multiple subunits, either pilins or archaellins. Both pilins and archaellins are made initially as preproteins with type IV pilin-like signal peptides, which must be removed by a prepilin peptidase-like enzyme. This enzyme is FlaK for archaellins and EppA for pilins. Both archaella and archaeal type IV pili are assembled from structural proteins synthesized initially as preproteins with a class III (type IV pilin-like) signal peptide which is subsequently cleaved by a dedicated prepilin peptidase-like enzyme (signal peptidase III) | Methanococcus maripaludis |
