Figure 1 with 1 supplement
Selection of macrocyclic peptides (CPs) by random nonstandard peptide integrated discovery (RaPID).

(A) RaPID selection of CPs. Starting from a DNA library, macrocyclic peptides were generated through transcription and ribosomal translation using the Flexible In-vitro Translation (FIT) system. …

Figure 1—figure supplement 1
Selection and synthesis of CPs.

(A) TmrAEQB was reconstituted in lipid nanodiscs composed of biotinylated (B) MSP. Reconstituted nanodiscs were isolated by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC). Empty nanodiscs without TmrAEQB were …

Figure 2 with 2 supplements
CPFs specifically interact with TmrAB displaying nanomolar binding affinities.

(A, B) Equilibrium binding analysis. Fluorescence anisotropy of CPFs (50 nM) was determined at λex/em = 485/520 nm with increasing concentrations of TmrAB which was reconstituted in liposomes. TmrAB …

Figure 2—figure supplement 1
CPs specifically bind to TmrAB.

(A) CPBs-mediated isolation of solubilized TmrAB. Streptavidin matrices were loaded with CPBs (1 µM) and incubated with purified TmrAB (60 nM) for 1 hr at 4°C. Beads without CPBs served as control …

Figure 2—figure supplement 2
Analysis of CPF-TmrAB complexes by native mass spectrometry.

TmrAB (4 µM) was buffer exchanged to ESI buffer and incubated with a 2-fold molar excess of CPFs for 10 min on ice. Protein complexes were investigated by ESI-TOF-mass spectrometry. (A) CP6F-TmrAB …

CPFs are potent inhibitors of ATP turnover and substrate transport.

(A) Experimental scheme of ATP hydrolysis and peptide transport by TmrAB. (B) CPFs inhibit ATP hydrolysis. TmrAB in liposomes (100 nM) was incubated with ATP (2 mM, traced with [γ32P]-ATP), and MgCl2

CPs do not affect peptide or ATP binding of TmrAB.

(A) CPFs binding TmrAB is not affected by substrate peptide binding. After the addition of TmrAB (0.6 µM for CP6F and CP13F, 0.7 µM for CP12F, 0.5 µM for CP14F), fluorescence anisotropy of CPFs (50 …

Figure 5 with 1 supplement
CPs bind preferentially to IF- und OF conformation and stabilize nucleotide occlusion.

Conformation-specific preference of CPs. (A, B) CP6F (A) or CP13F (B, 50 nM each) were incubated with increasing concentrations of detergent-solubilized inward-facing TmrAB (in the absence of …

Figure 5—figure supplement 1
Conformational arrest of TmrAB by CPFs.

(A) CPFs (50 nM each) were incubated with increasing concentrations of detergent-solubilized IF TmrAB in the inward-facing (IF) conformation (absence of Mg-ATP) or TmrAEQB populated in the …

Figure 6 with 1 supplement
CPs block multiple-turnover transport monitored by quantitative flow cytometry.

(A) Single turnover by IF-to-OF switch monitored by single-liposome flow cytometry. TmrAB in liposomes (0.4 µM) were incubated with C4ATTO655 peptide (1 µM), ATP/ADP (3 mM), MgCl2 (5 mM), and CPFs …

Figure 6—figure supplement 1
Linear regression of quantitative flow cytometry analysis.

(A) Gating strategy. Liposomes were selected according to side and forward scatter areas. Single liposomes were gated based on the height of forward scatter correlated to the area of forward …

Substrate translocation precedes ATP hydrolysis in a heterodimeric ABC transporter.

In the resting IF state, TmrAB binds nucleotides and substrates independently, which is not affected by CPs. ATP binding induces an IF-to-OF switch, which drives unidirectional substrate …
