9.B.36 The Acid Resistance Membrane Protein (HdeD) Family

The HdeD protein of E. coli is a 190 aa protein required for induction of acid resistance in response to overexpression of the AraC-type regulator, YdeO (Masuda and Church, 2003). It has 6 TMSs in a 2 + 2 + 2 arrangement. Evidence for an internally triplicated 2 TMS element was found. This protein may function with a 194 aa, 2 TMS protein (gi #3288672).

Homologues of HdeD include the DR3 protein of the moss, Tortula rutalis (223 aas; AAN87348) which also has 6 putative TMSs. Other homologues are annotated 'putative permease.' Homologues are generally of 160-240 aas in length with 6 TMSs in a 2 + 2 + 2 or 3 + 3 TMS arrangement, where the latter proteins show the first 3 TMSs are separated by larger hydrophilic loops than the last 3 TMSs. They derive from proteobacteria, cyanobacteria, plants, low and high G C Gram-positive bacteria and archaea. Some are much bigger (>450 aas) due to the presence of large hydrophilic extensions.  This is a large superfamily with over 10 families (see entries under 9.B.36).  These proteins are known as the DUF4386 domain proteins.

The acid resistance 6 TMS HdeD protein of 190 aas. The yhiD and hdeD gene products participate in an acid resistance mechanism exhibited only at high cell densities (Mates et al. 2007). H-NS directly controls expression of the hedD gene (Krin et al. 2010).  Both small RNAs, CyaR and RprA, interact with the 5'-UTR of hdeD mRNA, and binding to the RBS of hdeD, interfers with translational initiation. Lalaouna et al. 2018 identified an A/U-rich motif on hdeD, which is bound by the RNA chaperone Hfq. The results indicate that binding of this motif by Hfq is required for CyaR-induced degradation of hdeD mRNA, and two molecules of RprA must bind the 5'-UTR of hdeD to block translation initiation. While both CyaR and RprA sRNAs bind to the same motif on the hdeD mRNA, RprA solely acts at the translational level, leaving the target RNA intact (Lalaouna et al. 2018). Scavenger receptor CD36 mediates innate immune responses against infectious and non-infectious diseases (Banesh and Trivedi 2020).
