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).

The PVC tube linked with payloads consists of three structurally similar tube proteins, such that a complete syringe in a typical length contains 24 stacked hexameric rings of tube proteins, including 2 layers of tube initiators and 22 layers of main tube proteins. Among all related genes,pvc7 produces pvc7 hexameric rings to form the first two initiator rings in the baseplate end of the PVC tube with pvc5 through opposite surface charges and electrostatic attraction.In the meantime,the pvc7 layer (appear to be fusion protein) docks onto the b-barrel ring (pseudo-6-fold) of Pvc8 to help form a continuous central spike extending from the inner tube.
Furthermore, pvc7 is encircled by pvc9 and acts as a sheath initiator collectively to prepare for the contraction in the delivery process.
