Identification of functional interactome of a key cell division regulatory protein CedA of E.coli.
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules 2018 January
Cell division is compromised in DnaAcos mutant Escherichia coli cells that results in filamentous cell morphology. This is countered by over-expression of CedA protein that induces cytokinesis and thus, regular cell morphology is regained; however via an unknown mechanism. To understand the process systematically, exact role of CedA should be deciphered. Protein interactions are crucial for functional organization of a cell and their identification helps in revealing exact function(s) of a protein and its binding partners. Thus, this study was intended to identify CedA binding proteins (CBPs) to gain more clues of CedA function. We isolated CBPs by pull down assay using purified recombinant CedA and identified nine CBPs by mass spectrometric analysis (MALDI-TOF MS and LC-MS/MS), viz. PDHA1, RL2, DNAK, LPP, RPOB, G6PD, GLMS, RL3 and YBCJ. Based on CBPs identified, we hypothesize that CedA plays a crucial and multifaceted role in cell cycle regulation and specific pathways in which CedA participates may include transcription and energy metabolism. However, further validation through in-vitro and in-vivo experiments is necessary. In conclusion, identification of CBPs may help us in deciphering mechanism of CedA mediated cell division during chromosomal DNA over-replication.
