Abstract
To better understand the function of transporter in heavy metal detoxification of bacteria, the transporters associated with heavy metal detoxification in S. rhizophila JC1 were analyzed, among which four members were verified by RT-qPCR. In addition, the removal rates of four single metal ions (Cr6+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Pb2+) and polymetallic ions by strain JC1 were studied, respectively. We also researched the physiological response of strain JC1 to different metal stress via morphological observation, elemental composition, functional group and membrane permeability analysis. The results showed that in the single metal ion solution, removal capacities of Cu2+ (120 mg/L) and Cr6+ (80 mg/L) of S. rhizophila JC1 reached to 79.9% and 89.3%, respectively, while in polymetallic ions solution, the removal capacity of each metal ion all decreased, and in detail, the adsorption capacity was determined Cr6+>Cu2+>Zn2+>Pb2+ under the same condition. The physiological response analyses results showed that extracellular adsorption phenomena occurred, and the change of membrane permeability hindered the uptake of metal ions by bacteria. The analysis of transporters in strain JC1 genome illustrated that a total of 323 transporters were predicted. Among them, two, six and five proteins of the cation diffusion facilitator, resistance-nodulation-division efflux and P-type ATPase families were, respectively, predicted. The expression of corresponding genes showed that the synergistic action of correlative transporters played important roles in the process of adsorption. The comparative genomics analysis revealed that S. rhizophila JC1 has long-distance evolutionary relationships with other strains, but the efflux system of S. rhizophila JC1 contained the same types of metal transporters as other metal-resistant bacteria.

Isolation and Characterization of Nanobodies against a Zinc-Transporting P-Type ATPase. Antibodies (Basel) 2018; 7:antib7040039. [PMID: 31544889 PMCID: PMC6698960 DOI: 10.3390/antib7040039] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2018] [Revised: 10/31/2018] [Accepted: 11/04/2018] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
P-type ATPases form a large and ubiquitous superfamily of ion and lipid transporters that use ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to carry out their function. The IB subclass (PIB-ATPases) allows flux of heavy metals and are key players in metal detoxification, critical for human health, crops, and survival of pathogens. Nevertheless, PIB-ATPases remain poorly understood at a molecular level. In this study, nanobodies (Nbs) are selected against the zinc-transporting PIB-ATPase ZntA from Shigella sonnei (SsZntA), aiming at developing tools to assist the characterization of the structure and function of this class of transporters. We identify six different Nbs that bind detergent stabilized SsZntA. We further assess the effect of the Nbs on the catalytic function of SsZntA, and find that five nanobodies associate without affecting the function, while one nanobody significantly reduces the ATPase activity. This study paves the way for more refined mechanistical and structural studies of zinc-transporting PIB-ATPases.
