Abstract

The twin-arginine transport (Tat) systems in bacteria and plant chloroplasts translocate cargo proteins across cellular membranes in their folded states. The single-pass transmembrane protein TatA forms the protein translocation channel via self-oligomerization. Herein, we present the structure of Bacillus subtilis TatAy protein in dodecylphosphocholine micelles determined by solution NMR method. TatAy adopts an L-shaped conformation formed by a transmembrane helix (TMH) and an amphipathic helix (APH). Structural comparison of TatAy protein with the previously reported B. subtilis TatAd protein highlights essential residues at the hinge region for maintaining the L-shaped conformation, and suggests a few conserved structural features for the
TatA protein family. Possible roles for the conserved residues in the TatA channel formation are discussed.
