Structural Insight into Host Recognition by Aggregative Adherence Fimbriae of Enteroaggregative

English version České info

Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is a major cause of diarrhea worldwide and is commonly present as an infection in symptomatic travelers returning from developing countries. The attachment of EAEC to the human intestine is mediated protein filaments extending from the bacterial surface known as aggregative adherence fimbria (AAF). Here we use X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) structures to provide an atomic structure of the protein fibers made by the two major variants, AAF/I and AAF/II. The structures of the major subunit proteins show that the AAFs assemble into flexible, linear polymers that are capped by a single minor protein subunit at the tip. Biochemical assays reveal that the AAFs recognize a common receptor, the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin, via clusters of positively-charged amino acid residues running along the length of the fimbriae. Our structures suggest a unique mechanism based on ionic interactions for AAF-mediated receptor binding and biofilm formation.
