In silico structural characterization of l. Lactis subsp. Cremoris mg1363 ffh-ftsy complex in protein targeting interaction
Noor Izawati Alias1, Abdul Munir Abdul Murad2, Farah Diba Abu Bakar3, Rosli Md. Illias4.
In bacteria, gene conservation and experimental data show that Lactococcus lactis
has the simplest version of protein secretion system compared to Escherichia coli
and Bacillus subtilis whose systems are more complex. L. lactis only possess the signal
recognition particle (SRP) pathway, where the specific interaction of Ffh and FtsY is
known to be essential for the efficiency and fidelity of its protein targeting. Therefore,
modelling and structural characterization study of Ffh and FtsY will give an idea of its
crucial region and amino acids that are critical in Ffh-FtsY interaction during protein
targeting. This work is the first attempt to model L. lactis Ffh-FtsY complex, which was
derived by computational docking, where a blind dock was applied. Results showed
that the complex interface was predominantly stabilized by four hydrophobic
interactions and 17 hydrogen bonds, where these putative binding interfaces are
mostly confined at the motifs II and III in each G domain of Ffh and FtsY. Several
residues were expected to play important roles in initiating or regulating guanosine
triphosphate hydrolysis, including residue R142. This structural information will allow for
the rational design of L. lactis Ffh-FtsY association in the future.
