Structural characterization of the nickel-binding properties of Bacillus pasteurii urease accessory protein (Ure)E in solution.
Urease activation is critical to the virulence of many human and animal pathogens. Urease possesses multiple, nickel-containing active sites, and UreE, the only nickel-binding protein among the urease accessory proteins, activates urease by transporting nickel ions. We performed NMR experiments to investigate the solution structure and the nickel-binding properties of Bacillus pasteurii (Bp) Ur...
متن کاملDependence of Helicobacter pylori urease activity on the nickel-sequestering ability of the UreE accessory protein.
The Helicobacter pylori ureE gene product was previously shown to be required for urease expression, but its characteristics and role have not been determined. The UreE protein has now been overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and characterized, and three altered versions were expressed to address a nickel-sequestering role of UreE. Purified UreE formed a dimer in solution and was capab...
متن کاملStructural basis for Ni(2+) transport and assembly of the urease active site by the metallochaperone UreE from Bacillus pasteurii.
Bacillus pasteurii UreE (BpUreE) is a putative chaperone assisting the insertion of Ni(2+) ions in the active site of urease. The x-ray structure of the protein has been determined for two crystal forms, at 1.7 and 1.85 A resolution, using SIRAS phases derived from a Hg(2+)-derivative. BpUreE is composed of distinct N- and C-terminal domains, connected by a short flexible linker. The structure ...
متن کاملIdentification of metal-binding residues in the Klebsiella aerogenes urease nickel metallochaperone, UreE.
The urease accessory protein encoded by ureE from Klebsiella aerogenes is proposed to bind intracellular Ni(II) for transfer to urease apoprotein. While native UreE possesses a histidine-rich region at its carboxyl terminus that binds several equivalents of Ni, the Ni-binding sites associated with urease activation are internal to the protein as shown by studies involving truncated H144UreE [Br...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Klebsiella aerogenes urease accessory protein UreD in fusion with the maltose binding protein.
Assembly of the Klebsiella aerogenes urease metallocenter requires four accessory proteins, UreD, UreE, UreF, and UreG, to effectively deliver and incorporate two Ni2+ ions into the nascent active site of the urease apoprotein (UreABC). Each accessory protein has been purified and characterized with the exception of UreD due to its insolubility when it is overproduced in recombinant cells. In t...
