Usage and Biology

Photorhabdus virulence cassette (PVC) is one group of extracellular Contractile injection systems (CISs) that are cell-puncturing nanodevices for targeted delivery of proteins .[1]Structurally similar to other CISs, PVCs are also macromolecular complexes containing a rigid tube structure housed in a contractile sheath, which is anchored to a baseplate and sharpened by a spike protein.[2](Figure1)

Figure 1. Schematic of the PVCpnf locus. It contains 16 structural and accessory genes , followed by two payload genes (Pdp1 and Pnf, in red) and four putative regulatory genes (in pink).

In the assembled wedges, six copies of Pvc11-Pvc12 heterodimers form a hexagonal ring through the dimerization between the domain V of Pvc11 and the domain III of Pvc12 from a neighboring heterodimer.
Two sides of hexameric rings are found opposite surface charges, PVC12 included.
The evolutionary relationship between Pvc12 and known wedge proteins is not apparent because of the low sequence conservation.
In the six helices of the Pvc11Pvc12 dimer, four of which in Pvc12 are equivalent to the ones seen in the gp6-gp7 dimer.
