Show abstract
Atypical chemokine receptor 1 (ACKR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) targeted by Staphylococcus aureus (SA) bi-component pore-forming leukotoxins to promote bacterial growth and immune evasion. Here we have developed an integrative molecular pharmacology and structural biology approach in order to characterize the effect of leukotoxins HlgA and HlgB on ACKR1 structure and function. Interestingly, we found that both components HlgA and HlgB compete with endogenous chemokines through a direct binding to ACKR1 captured by native mass spectrometry (MS). Unexpectedly, HDX-MS analysis revealed that toxin binding allosterically modulates the intracellular G protein-binding domain of the receptor, resulting in dissociation of ACKR1-G protein complexes in living cells. Altogether, our study brings important molecular insights into the initial steps of leukotoxins targeting a host GPCR. Our findings may open the way to develop antibiotics inhibiting host receptors binding, a mechanism of action less prone to resistance.
