Energy-coupling factor (ECF) transporters for uptake of vitamins and transition-metal ions into prokaryotic cells share a common architecture consisting of a substrate-specific integral membrane protein (S), a transmembrane coupling protein (T) and two cytoplasmic ATP-binding-cassette-family ATPases. S components rotate within the membrane to expose their binding pockets alternately to the exterior and the cytoplasm. In contrast to vitamin transporters, metal-specific systems rely on additional proteins with essential but poorly understood functions. CbiN, a membrane protein composed of two transmembrane helices tethered by an extracytoplasmic loop of 37 amino-acid residues represents the auxiliary component that temporarily interacts with the CbiMQO Co transporter. CbiN was previously shown to induce significant Co transport activity in the absence of CbiQO in cells producing the S component CbiM plus CbiN or a Cbi(MN) fusion. Here we analyzed the mode of interaction between the two protein domains. Any deletion in the CbiN loop abolished transport activity. In silico predicted protein-protein contacts between segments of the CbiN loop and loops in CbiM were confirmed by cysteine-scanning mutagenesis and crosslinking. Likewise, an ordered structure of the CbiN loop was observed by electron paramagnetic resonance analysis after site-directed spin labeling. The N-terminal loop of CbiM containing three of four metal ligands was partially immobilized in wild-type Cbi(MN) but completely immobile in inactive variants with CbiN loop deletions. Decreased dynamics of the inactive form was also detected by solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance of isotope-labeled protein in proteoliposomes. In conclusion, CbiM-CbiN loop-loop interactions facilitate metal insertion into the binding pocket.
