Csd1 expression is diminished when the N-terminal region of CcmA is deleted due to increased Csd7-CcmA interactions that preclude Csd7-Csd1 interactions.

(B) Quantification of Csd1 levels in the ccmA ∆NT csd1c strain relative to the WT csd1c. Relative signal was calculated by dividing Csd1 signal by Cag3 signal for each replicate, then the data was normalized by dividing it by the value from the WT csd1c strain from the same experiment. Data are pooled from three independent biological replicates. Unpaired t-test, **p≤0.001.

Schematic depicting CcmA’s role in the helical cell shape complexes.

There are two protein complexes, one containing Csd5, MurF, and CcmA, and another containing Csd7, Csd1, and Csd2. (A) In WT cells, Csd5 recruits WT CcmA to the cell envelope via CcmA’s bactofilin domain. The N-terminal region of CcmA inhibits interaction with Csd7, allowing Csd1 to function and excluding Csd1 from the CcmA-Csd5-MurF complex. (B) In cells expressing CcmA ∆NT, Csd5 recruits ∆NT CcmA to the cell envelope via CcmA’s bactofilin domain. The bactofilin domain of CcmA now also binds to Csd7 in a separate complex, inhibiting Csd7 from stabilizing Csd1. (C) When Csd5 is absent, CcmA cannot localize to the cell envelope, MurF is not directed to a particular location. OM, outer membrane; IM, inner membrane.
