![]() | ![]() Title: Pore-forming Esx proteins mediate toxin secretion by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Authors: Uday Tak / Terje Dokland / Michael Niederweis / ![]() Abstract: Mycobacterium tuberculosis secretes the tuberculosis necrotizing toxin (TNT) to kill host cells. Here, we show that the WXG100 proteins EsxE and EsxF are essential for TNT secretion. EsxE and EsxF ...Mycobacterium tuberculosis secretes the tuberculosis necrotizing toxin (TNT) to kill host cells. Here, we show that the WXG100 proteins EsxE and EsxF are essential for TNT secretion. EsxE and EsxF form a water-soluble heterodimer (EsxEF) that assembles into oligomers and long filaments, binds to membranes, and forms stable membrane-spanning channels. Electron microscopy of EsxEF reveals mainly pentameric structures with a central pore. Mutations of both WXG motifs and of a GXW motif do not affect dimerization, but abolish pore formation, membrane deformation and TNT secretion. The WXG/GXW mutants are locked in conformations with altered thermostability and solvent exposure, indicating that the WXG/GXW motifs are molecular switches controlling membrane interaction and pore formation. EsxF is accessible on the bacterial cell surface, suggesting that EsxEF form an outer membrane channel for toxin export. Thus, our study reveals a protein secretion mechanism in bacteria that relies on pore formation by small WXG proteins. | |||||||||

Sample preparation
Specimen | Specimen state: Particle / Method: ![]() |
---|---|
Sample solution | Specimen conc.: 0.008 mg/mL Buffer solution: Solutions were made fresh, autoclaved, and filter sterilized to prevent microbial contamination. 25 mM sodium phosophate, 150 mM NaCl pH 6.5 pH: 6.5 |
Staining | 3 microliters of sample was placed on glow discharged grids for 1 minute, then blotted with filter paper, washed / blotted 2x with milli-q water, then stained with 1% uranyl formate for 10 seconds, blotted, followed by staining with 1% uranyl formate for 1 minute. The stain was then blotted and the grid was allowed to air dry. |
