ABSTRACTThis study demonstrates a functional twin-arginine (Tat) translocation pathway present in the tsetse fly symbiontSodalis glossinidiusand its potential to export active heterologous proteins to the periplasm. Functionality was demonstrated using green fluorescent protein (GFP) fused to the Tat signal peptide ofEscherichia colitrimethylamineN-oxide reductase (TorA).

Twin arginine translocation (Tat) systems transport large folded proteins across sealed membranes. Tat systems accomplish this feat with three membrane components organized in two complexes. In thylakoid membranes, cpTatC and Hcf106 comprise a large receptor complex containing an estimated eight cpTatC-Hcf106 pairs. Protein transport occurs when Tha4 joins the receptor complex as an oligomer of uncertain size that is thought to form the protein-conducting structure. Here, binding analyses with intact membranes or purified complexes indicate that each receptor complex could bind eight precursor proteins. Kinetic analysis of translocation showed that each precursor-bound site was independently functional for transport, and, with sufficient Tha4, all sites were concurrently active for transport. Tha4 titration determined that ∼26 Tha4 protomers were required for transport of each OE17 (oxygen-evolving complex subunit of 17 kD) precursor protein. Our results suggest that, when fully saturated with precursor proteins and Tha4, the Tat translocase is an ∼2.2-megadalton complex that can individually transport eight precursor proteins or cooperatively transport multimeric precursors.
