Thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases are required for
disulfide bond formation in proteins that are exported from the
cytoplasm. Four enzymes of this type, termed BdbA, BdbB, BdbC, and
BdbD, have been identified in the Gram-positive eubacterium
Bacillus subtilis. BdbC and BdbD have been shown to be
critical for the folding of a protein required for DNA uptake during
natural competence. In contrast, no function has been assigned so far
to the BdbA and BdbB proteins. The bdbA and
bdbB genes are located in one operon that also contains the
genes specifying the lantibiotic sublancin 168 and the ATP-binding
cassette transporter SunT. Interestingly sublancin 168 contains
two disulfide bonds. The present studies demonstrate that SunT and
BdbB, but not BdbA, are required for the production of active sublancin
168. In addition, the BdbB paralogue BdbC is at least partly able to
replace BdbB in sublancin 168 production. These observations show the
unprecedented involvement of thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases in the
synthesis of a peptide antibiotic. Notably BdbB cannot complement BdbC
in competence development, showing that these two closely related
thiol-disulfide oxidoreductases have different, but partly overlapping,
substrate specificities.
