PomX consists of two domains that are both required for function.

(A) Similarity and identity analysis of PomX, PomY, and PomZ homologs. The three Myxococcales suborders are indicated. An open box indicates that a homolog is not present. (B) Similarity and identity of PomX domains in different PomX homologs. Similarity and identity were calculated based on the domains of M. xanthus PomX shown in C. (C) PomX truncations used in this study. Numbers on top indicate the start and stop positions of the truncations relative to full-length PomXWT. (D) Cell length distribution of cells of indicated genotypes. Cells below stippled line are minicells. Numbers indicate mean cell length±STDEV. In the boxplots, boxes include the 25th and the 75th percentile, whiskers data points between the 10% and 90% percentile, outliers are shown as black dots. Black and red lines indicate the median and mean, respectively. Number of analyzed cells is indicated. In the complementation strains, pomX alleles were expressed from plasmids integrated in a single copy at the attB site. (E) Fluorescence microscopy of cells of indicated genotypes. Phase-contrast and fluorescence images of representative cells were overlayed. Numbers indicate fraction of cells with fluorescent clusters. Demographs show fluorescence signals of analyzed cells sorted according to length and with off-center signals to the right. Numbers in upper right indicate number of cells used to create demographs. Scale bar, 5 µm. (F) Fluorescence microscopy of cells of indicated genotypes. Images of representative cells and demographs were created as in (E). Scale bar, 5 µm. For experiments in D, E and F similar results were obtained in two independent experiments.

PomX variants accumulate in M.xanthus.

(A) Schematic of pomXYZ locus (upper panel) and the construct used for ectopic expression of mCh-pomX and its variants from the attB site (lower panel). The brown region upstream of pomZ was used as a promoter for the expression of mCh-pomX variants. All coordinates are relative to the first nucleotide in pomZ start codon (+1). (B) Western blot analysis of mCh-PomX (71.0 kDa), mCh-PomXN (50.2 kDa), and mCh-PomXC (48.7 kDa) accumulation in indicated strains. Protein from the same number of cells was loaded per lane. Molecular mass markers are indicated on the left and analyzed proteins on the right including calculated MW. The same blots were sequentially analyzed with α-PomX (top panel), α-mCh (middle panel), and α-PilC (lower panel). PilC was used as a loading control. Note PomXWT (43.9 kDa) does not migrate at the expected size in SDS-PAGE but as a protein of a molecular weight of ~72 kDa. Similarly, mCh-PomXWT, mCh-PomXN, and mCh-PomXC migrate at ~110 kDa, ~60 kDa, and ~62 kDa, respectively. Note that the three bands labeled * in the right and left α-mCh western blot of (B) are unspecific bands that sometimes appear in the western blots with α-mCh antibodies.

PomXC interacts with PomX and PomY while PomXN stimulates PomZ ATPase activity.

(A) BACTH analysis of interactions between Pom proteins. The indicated protein fragments were fused to T18 and T25 as indicated. Blue colony indicates an interaction, white no interaction. Positive control in upper left corner, leucine zipper of GCN4 fused to T25 and T18. For negative controls, co-transformations with empty plasmids were performed. Images show representative results and were performed in three independent experiments. (B) TEM images of negatively stained purified proteins. Proteins were applied to the EM grids alone or after mixing in a 1:1 molar ratio as indicated before staining. Scale bar, 200 nm. Images show representative results of several independent experiments. (C, D) In vitro pull-down experiments with purified PomXC-Strep, PomXN-Strep, PomXWT-His6, and PomY-His6. Instant Blue-stained SDS-PAGE shows load (L), flow-through (FL), wash (W), and elution (E) fractions using MagStrep XT beads in pull-down experiments with 10 µM of indicated proteins alone or pre-mixed as indicated on top. Molecular size markers are shown on the left and proteins analyzed on the right together with their calculated MW. Note that PomXWT-His6 (Schumacher et al., 2017) and PomXN-Strep migrate aberrantly and according to a higher MW. All samples in a panel were analyzed on the same gel and black lines are included for clarity. Experiments were repeated in two independent experiments with similar results. (E–I) His6-PomZ ATPase activity. ADP production rate was determined in an NADH-coupled photometric microplate assay in the presence of 1 mM ATP at 32°C. DNA and PomX variants were added as indicated. Spontaneous ATP hydrolysis and NADH consumption was accounted for by subtracting the measurements in the absence of His6-PomZ. Data points show the mean±STDEV calculated from six independent measurements.
