Abstrakt: The negatively charged bacterial polysaccharides--wall teichoic acids (WTAs) are synthesized intracellularly and exported by a two-component transporter, TagGH, comprising a transmembrane subunit TagG and an ATPase subunit TagH. We determined the crystal structure of the C-terminal domain of TagH (TagH-C) to investigate its function. The structure shows an N-terminal SH3-like subdomain wrapped by a C-terminal subdomain with an anti-parallel β-sheet and an outer shell of β-helices. A stretch of positively charged surface across the subdomain interface is flanked by two negatively charged regions, suggesting a potential binding site for negatively charged polymers, such as WTAs or acidic peptide chains.
