Phosphonoacetaldehyde hydrolase (phosphonatase) catalyzes the hydrolytic P-C bond cleavage of phosphonoacetaldehyde (Pald) to form orthophosphate and acetaldehyde. The reaction proceeds via a Schiff-base intermediate formed between Lys-53 and the Pald carbonyl. The x-ray crystal structures of the wild-type phosphonatase complexed with Mg(II) alone or with Mg(II) plus vinylsulfonate (a phosphonoethylenamine analog) were determined to 2.8 and 2.4 A, respectively. These structures were used to determine the identity and positions of active site residues surrounding the Lys-53 ammonium group and the Pald carbonyl. These include Cys-22, His-56, Tyr-128, and Met-49. Site-directed mutagenesis was then employed to determine whether or not these groups participate in catalysis. Based on rate contributions, Tyr-128 and Cys-22 were eliminated as potential catalytic groups. The Lys-53 epsilon-amino group, positioned for reaction with the Pald carbonyl, forms a hydrogen bond with water 120. Water 120 is also within hydrogen bond distance of an imidazole nitrogen of His-56 and the sulfur atom of Met-49. Kinetic constants for mutants indicated that His-56 (1000-fold reduction in k(cat)/K(m) upon Ala substitution) and Met-49 (17,000-fold reduction in k(cat)/K(m) upon Leu substitution) function in catalysis of Schiff-base formation. Based on these results, it is proposed that a network of hydrogen bonds among Lys-53, water 120, His-56, and Met-49 facilitate proton transfer from Lys-53 to the carbinolamine intermediate. Comparison of the vinylsulfonate complex versus unliganded structures indicated that association of the cap and core domains is essential for the positioning of the Lys-53 for attack at the Pald carbonyl and that substrate binding at the core domain stabilizes cap domain binding. 相似文献

Phosphonoacetaldehyde hydrolase (phosphonatase) from Bacillus cereus catalyzes hydrolytic P-C bond cleavage of phosphonoacetaldehyde (Pald) via a Schiff base intermediate formed with Lys53. A single turnover requires binding of Pald to the active site of the core domain, closure of the cap domain containing the Lys53 over the core domain, and dissociation of the products following catalysis. The ligand binding and dissociation steps occur from the "open conformer" (domains are separated and the active site is solvent-exposed), while catalysis occurs from the "closed conformer" (domains are bound together and the active site is sequestered from solvent). To test the hypothesis that bound substrate stabilizes the closed conformer, thus facilitating catalysis, the rates of chemical modification of Lys53 in the presence and absence of inert substrate and/or product analogues were compared. Acetylation of Lys53 with 2,4-dinitrophenylacetate (DNPA) resulted in the loss of enzyme activity. The pseudo-first-order rate constant for inactivation varied with pH. The pH profile of inactivation is consistent with a pK(a) of 9.3 for Lys53. The inhibitors tungstate and vinyl sulfonate, which are known to bind to active site residues comprising the core domain, protected Lys53 from acetylation. These results are consistent with a dynamic equilibrium between the open and closed conformations of phosphonatase and the hypothesis that ligand binding stabilizes the closed conformation required for catalytic turnover. 相似文献

Kinetic studies with substrate analogs and group-directed chemical modification agents were carried out for the purpose of identifying the enzyme-substrate interactions required for phosphonoacetaldehyde (P-Ald) binding and catalyzed hydrolysis by P-Ald hydrolase (phosphonatase). Malonic semialdehyde (Ki = 1.6 mM), phosphonoacetate (Ki = 10 mM), phosphonoethanol (Ki = 10 mM), and fluorophosphate (Ki = 20 mM) were found to be competitive inhibitors of the enzyme but not substrates. Thiophosphonoacetaldehyde and acetonyl phosphonate underwent phosphonatase-catalyzed hydrolysis but at 20-fold and 140-fold slower rates, respectively, than did P-Ald. In the presence of NaBH4, acetonyl-phosphonate inactivated phosphonatase at a rate exceeding that of its turnover. Sequence analysis of the radiolabeled tryptic peptide generated from [3-3H]acetonylphosphonate/NaBH4-treated phosphonatase revealed that Schiff base formation had occurred with the catalytic lysine. From the Vm/Km and Vm pH profiles for phosphonatase-catalyzed P-Ald hydrolysis, an optimal pH range of 6-8 was defined for substrate binding and catalysis. The pH dependence of inactivation by acetylation of the active site lysine with acetic anhydride and 2,4-dinitrophenyl acetate evidenced protonation of the active site lysine residue as the cause for activity loss below pH 6. The pH dependence of inactivation of an active site cysteine residue with methyl methanethiol-sulfonate indicated that deprotonation of this residue may be the cause for the loss of enzyme activity above pH 8. 相似文献

Reaction of Bacillus cereus phosphonoacetaldehyde hydrolase (phosphonatase) with phosphonoacetaldehyde or acetaldehyde in the presence of NaBH4 resulted in complete loss of enzymatic activity. Treatment of phosphonatase with NaBH4 in the absence of substrate or product had no effect on catalysis. Inactivation of phosphonatase with [3H]NaBH4 and phosphonoacetaldehyde, NaBH4 and [14C]acetaldehyde, or NaBH4 and [2-3H]phosphonoacetaldehyde produced in each instance radiolabeled enzyme. The nature of the covalent modification was investigated by digesting the radiolabeled enzyme preparations with trypsin and by separating the tryptic peptides with HPLC. Analysis of the peptide fractions revealed that incorporation of the 3H- or 14C-radiolabel into the protein was reasonably selective for an amino acid residue found in a peptide fragment observed in each of the three trypsin digests. Sequence analysis of the 3H-labeled peptide fragment isolated from the digest of the [2-3H]phosphonoacetaldehyde/NaBH4-treated enzyme identified N epsilon-ethyllysine as the radiolabeled amino acid. The ability of the phosphonatase competitive inhibitor (Ki = 230 +/- 20 microM) acetonylphosphonate to protect the enzyme from phosphonoacetaldehyde/NaBH4-induced inactivation suggested that the reactive lysine residue is located in the enzyme active site. Comparison of the relative effectiveness of phosphonoacetaldehyde and acetaldehyde as phosphonatase inactivators showed that the N-ethyllysine imine that is reduced by the NaBH4 is derived from the corresponding N-(phosphonoethyl) imine. On the basis of these findings, a catalytic mechanism for for phosphonatase is proposed in which phosphonoacetaldehyde is activated for P-C bond cleavage by formation of a Schiff base with an active-site lysine. Accordingly, an N-ethyllsysine enamine rather than the high-energy acetaldehyde enolate anion is displaced from the phosphorus. 相似文献

The 2-haloalkanoic acid dehalogenase (HAD) family, which contains both carbon and phosphoryl transferases, is one of the largest known enzyme superfamilies. HAD members conserve an alpha,beta-core domain that frames the four-loop active-site platform. Each loop contributes one or more catalytic groups, which function in mediating the core chemistry (i.e., group transfer). In this paper, we provide evidence that the number of carboxylate residues on loop 4 and their positions (stations) on the loop are determinants, and therefore reliable sequence markers, for metal ion activation among HAD family members. Using this predictor, we conclude that the vast majority of the HAD members utilize a metal cofactor. Analysis of the minimum requirements for metal cofactor binding was carried out using Mg(II)-activated Bacillus cereus phosphonoacetaldehyde hydrolase (phosphonatase) as an experimental model for metal-activated HAD members. Mg(II) binding occurs via ligation to the loop 1 Asp12 carboxylate and Thr14 backbone carbonyl and to the loop 4 Asp186 carboxylate. The loop 4 Asp190 forms a hydrogen bond to the Mg(II) water ligand. X-ray structure determination of the D12A mutant in the presence of the substrate phosphonoacetaldehyde showed that replacement of the loop 1 Asp, common to all HAD family members, with Ala shifts the position of Mg(II), thereby allowing innersphere coordination to Asp190 and causing a shift in the position of the substrate. Kinetic analysis of the loop 4 mutants showed that Asp186 is essential to cofactor binding while Asp190 simply enhances it. Within the phosphonatase subfamily, Asp186 is stringently conserved, while either position 185 or position 190 is used to position the second loop 4 Asp residue. Retention of a high level of catalytic activity in the G185D/D190G phosphonatase mutant demonstrated the plasticity of the metal binding loop, reflected in the variety of combinations in positioning of two or three Asp residues along the seven-residue motif of the 2700 potential HAD sequences that were examined. 相似文献

The mechanism of Klebsiella pneumoniae nitrogenase action. Pre-steady-state kinetics of H2 formation. 总被引:2,自引:8,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
A comprehensive model for the mechanism of nitrogenase action is used to simulate pre-steady-state kinetic data for H2 evolution in the presence and in the absence of N2, obtained by using a rapid-quench technique with nitrogenase from Klebsiella pneumoniae. These simulations use independently determined rate constants that define the model in terms of the following partial reactions: component protein association and dissociation, electron transfer from Fe protein to MoFe protein coupled to the hydrolysis of MgATP, reduction of oxidized Fe protein by Na2S2O4, reversible N2 binding by H2 displacement and H2 evolution. Two rate-limiting dissociations of oxidized Fe protein from reduced MoFe protein precede H2 evolution, which occurs from the free MoFe protein. Thus Fe protein suppresses H2 evolution by binding to the MoFe protein. This is a necessary condition for efficient N2 binding to reduced MoFe protein. 相似文献

Oxazolidinones are potent inhibitors of bacterial protein biosynthesis. Previous studies have demonstrated that this new class of antimicrobial agent blocks translation by inhibiting initiation complex formation, while post-initiation translation by polysomes and poly(U)-dependent translation is not a target for these compounds. We found that oxazolidinones inhibit translation of natural mRNA templates but have no significant effect on poly(A)-dependent translation. Here we show that various oxazolidinones inhibit ribosomal peptidyltransferase activity in the simple reaction of 70 S ribosomes using initiator-tRNA or N-protected CCA-Phe as a P-site substrate and puromycin as an A-site substrate. Steady-state kinetic analysis shows that oxazolidinones display a competitive inhibition pattern with respect to both the P-site and A-site substrates. This is consistent with a rapid equilibrium, ordered mechanism of the peptidyltransferase reaction, wherein binding of the A-site substrate can occur only after complex formation between peptidyltransferase and the P-site substrate. We propose that oxazolidinones inhibit bacterial protein biosynthesis by interfering with the binding of initiator fMet-tRNA(i)(Met) to the ribosomal peptidyltransferase P-site, which is vacant only prior to the formation of the first peptide bond. 相似文献

Experiments were designed to investigate the effect of different buffered solutions, Fenton reagent and hydrogen peroxide on acetylcholine decomposition with ethylene formation. The data of the present study suggests that acetylcholine is decomposed in vitro to form ethylene by interacting with the free radicals or in the Hofmann's splitting reaction. It is found that free radicals are required for the fast decomposition of acetylcholine to form ethylene. A general mechanism to explain the rapid biological effects that can be influenced by the free radicals was proposed. We have concluded that endogenous metabolic free radicals can be involved in the decomposition of acetylcholine as well in the biological activation of formed ethylene in vivo. 相似文献

A proteolytic mechanism for the action of insulin via oligopeptide mediator formation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Evidence is presented that the chemical mediator of insulin action is a peptide(s) and most likely glycopeptide(s). The mediator is formed proteolytically because 1) protease inhibitors inhibit insulin action and 2) trypsin mimicks insulin action via mediator formation. Trypsin mediator does not faithfully reproduce the action of insulin mediator, which indicates that the sites of proteolytic cleavage by insulin and trypsin differ. A coordinated multivalent proteolytic mechanism by which insulin acts to trigger an external membrane-bound protease to cleave mediator from a membrane glycoprotein precursor is presented. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) catalyzes the final step of tyrosine and phenylalanine catabolism, the hydrolytic cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond in fumarylacetoacetate, to yield fumarate and acetoacetate. FAH has no known sequence homologs and functions by an unknown mechanism. Carbon-carbon hydrolysis reactions are essential for the human metabolism of aromatic amino acids. FAH deficiency causes the fatal metabolic disease hereditary tyrosinemia type I. Carbon-carbon bond hydrolysis is also important in the microbial metabolism of aromatic compounds as part of the global carbon cycle. RESULTS: The FAH crystal structure has been determined by rapid, automated analysis of multiwavelength anomalous diffraction data. The FAH polypeptide folds into a 120-residue N-terminal domain and a 300-residue C-terminal domain. The C-terminal domain defines an unusual beta-strand topology and a novel 'mixed beta-sandwich roll' structure. The structure of FAH complexed with its physiological products was also determined. This structure reveals fumarate binding near the entrance to the active site and acetoacetate binding to an octahedrally coordinated calcium ion located in close proximity to a Glu-His dyad. CONCLUSIONS: FAH represents the first structure of a hydrolase that acts specifically on carbon-carbon bonds. FAH also defines a new class of metalloenzymes characterized by a unique alpha/beta fold. A mechanism involving a Glu-His-water catalytic triad is suggested based on structural observations, sequence conservation and mutational analysis. The histidine imidazole group is proposed to function as a general base. The Ca(2+) is proposed to function in binding substrate, activating the nucleophile and stabilizing a carbanion leaving group. An oxyanion hole formed from sidechains is proposed to stabilize a tetrahedral alkoxide transition state. The proton transferred to the carbanion leaving group is proposed to originate from a lysine sidechain. The results also reveal the molecular basis for mutations causing the hereditary tyrosinemia type 1. 相似文献

Stereoelectronic control in peptide bond formation. Ab initio calculations and speculations on the mechanism of action of serine proteases. 下载免费PDF全文
Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been performed on the reaction profile for the addition/elimination reaction between ammonia and formic acid, proceeding via a tetrahedral intermediate: NH3 + HCO2H----H2NCH(OH)2----NH2CHO + H2O. Calculated transition state energies for the first addition step of the reaction revealed that a lone pair on the oxygen of the OH group, which is antiperiplanar to the attacking nitrogen, stabilized the transition state by 3.9 kcal/mol, thus supporting the hypothesis of stereoelectronic control for this reaction. In addition, a secondary, counterbalancing stereoelectronic effect stabilizes the second step, water elimination, transition state by 3.1 kcal/mol if the lone pair on the leaving water oxygen is not antiperiplanar to the C-N bond. The best conformation for the transition states was thus one with a lone pair antiperiplanar to the adjacent scissile bond and also one without a lone-pair orbital on the scissile bond oxygen or nitrogen antiperiplanar to the adjacent polar bond. The significance of these stereoelectronic effects for the mechanism of action of serine proteases is discussed. 相似文献
