The thermodynamics of coenzyme binding to human cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) and its isolated FAD-binding domain have been studied by isothermal titration calorimetry. Binding of 2',5'-ADP, NADP(+), and H(4)NADP, an isosteric NADPH analogue, is described in terms of the dissociation binding constant (K(d)), the enthalpy (DeltaH(B)) and entropy (TDeltaS(B)) of binding, and the heat capacity change (DeltaC(p)). This systematic approach allowed the effect of coenzyme redox state on binding to CPR to be determined. The recognition and stability of the coenzyme-CPR complex are largely determined by interaction with the adenosine moiety (K(d2)(')(,5)(')(-ADP) = 76 nM), regardless of the redox state of the nicotinamide moiety. Similar heat capacity change (DeltaC(p)) values for 2',5'-ADP (-210 cal mol(-)(1) K(-)(1)), NADP(+) (-230 cal mol(-)(1) K(-)(1)), and H(4)NADP (-220 cal mol(-)(1) K(-)(1)) indicate no significant contribution from the nicotinamide moiety to the binding interaction surface. The coenzyme binding stoichiometry to CPR is 1:1. This result validates a recently proposed one-site kinetic model [Daff, S. (2004) Biochemistry 43, 3929-3932] as opposed to a two-site model previously suggested by us [Gutierrez, A., Lian, L.-Y., Wolf, C. R., Scrutton, N. S., and Roberts, C. G. K. (2001) Biochemistry 40, 1964-1975]. Calorimetric studies in which binding of 2',5'-ADP to CPR (TDeltaS(B) = -13400 +/- 200 cal mol(-)(1), 35 degrees C) was compared with binding of the same ligand to the isolated FAD-binding domain (TDeltaS(B) = -11200 +/- 300 cal mol(-)(1), 35 degrees C) indicate that the number of accessible conformational substates of the protein increases upon 2',5'-ADP binding in the presence of the FMN-binding domain. This pattern was consistently observed along the temperature range that was studied (5-35 degrees C). This contribution of coenzyme binding energy to domain dynamics in CPR agrees with conclusions from previous temperature-jump studies [Gutierrez, A., Paine, M., Wolf, C. R., Scrutton, N. S., and Roberts, G. C. K. (2002) Biochemistry 41, 4626-4637]. A combination of calorimetry and stopped-flow spectrophotometry kinetics experiments showed that this linkage between coenzyme binding energetics and diffusional domain motion impinges directly on the molecular recognition of cytochrome c by CPR. Single-turnover reduction of cytochrome c by CPR (k(max) = 15 s(-)(1), K(d) = 37 microM) is critically coupled to coenzyme binding through ligand-induced motions that enable the FMN-binding domain to overcome a kinetically unproductive conformation. This is remarkable since the FMN-binding domain is not directly involved in coenzyme binding, the NADP(H) binding site being fully contained in the FAD-binding domain. Sequential rapid mixing measurements indicate that harnessing of coenzyme binding energy to the formation of a kinetically productive CPR-cytochrome c complex is a highly synchronized event. The inferred half-time for the decay of this productive conformation (tau(50)) is 330 +/- 70 ms only. Previously proposed structural and kinetic models are discussed in light of these findings. 相似文献

Phe(1395) stacks parallel to the FAD isoalloxazine ring in neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS) and is representative of conserved aromatic amino acids found in structurally related flavoproteins. This laboratory previously showed that Phe(1395) was required to obtain the electron transfer properties and calmodulin (CaM) response normally observed in wild-type nNOS. Here we characterized the F1395S mutant of the nNOS flavoprotein domain (nNOSr) regarding its physical properties, NADP(+) binding characteristics, flavin reduction kinetics, steady-state and pre-steady-state cytochrome c reduction kinetics, and ability to shield its FMN cofactor in response to CaM or NADP(H) binding. F1395S nNOSr bound NADP(+) with 65% more of the nicotinamide ring in a productive conformation with FAD for hydride transfer and had an 8-fold slower rate of NADP(+) dissociation. CaM stimulated the rates of NADPH-dependent flavin reduction in wild-type nNOSr but not in the F1395S mutant, which had flavin reduction kinetics similar to those of CaM-free wild-type nNOSr. CaM-free F1395S nNOSr lacked repression of cytochrome c reductase activity that is typically observed in nNOSr. The combined results from pre-steady-state and EPR experiments revealed that this was associated with a lesser degree of FMN shielding in the NADP(+)-bound state as compared with wild type. We conclude that Phe(1395) regulates nNOSr catalysis in two ways. It facilitates NADP(+) release to prevent this step from being rate-limiting, and it enables NADP(H) to properly regulate a conformational equilibrium involving the FMN subdomain that controls reactivity of the FMN cofactor in electron transfer. 相似文献

An analogue of adenosine nucleotide, 5'-p-fluorosulfonylbenzoyl adenosine (5'-FSB-Ado), appears to interact irreversibly with the cofactor-binding site of estradiol 17 beta-dehydrogenase of human placenta. This conclusion is based on the following observations: (1) The estradiol 17 beta-dehydrogenase is inhibited by 5'-FSB-Ado. When NAD+ is the variable component in the presence of saturated amount of steroid, the type of the inhibition is competitive in nature. When the steroid is the variable component, mode of the inhibition becomes non-competitive. The results suggest reversible binding of 5'-FSB-Ado to the cofactor-binding site of the dehydrogenase. (2) 5'-FSB-Ado inactivates irreversibly the estradiol 17 beta-dehydrogenase in time- and concentration-dependent manners, following pseudo-first-order kinetics. But, no inactivation is observed in the presence of p-fluorosulfonylbenzoic acid, suggesting that adenosine moiety of 5'-FSB-Ado is essential for the affinity labeling of estradiol 17 beta-dehydrogenase. (3) NADP+ protects completely estradiol 17 beta-dehydrogenase from the inactivation of 5'-FSB-Ado, whereas NAD(H) is partially protective against the inactivation, suggesting that phosphate moiety at 2'-position of NADP+ disturbs the covalent binding of 5'-FSB-Ado at or near the cofactor-binding site of the enzyme. (4) 2',5'-ADP shows the significant protection against the inactivation by 5'-FSB-Ado, but less effect is observed in the presence of nicotinamide mononucleotides. These results suggest that 5'-FSB-Ado is an affinity ligand for binding-site of adenosine nucleotide moiety of the cofactor. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) is a physiological mediator synthesized by NO synthases (NOS). Despite their structural similarity, endothelial NOS (eNOS) has a 6-fold lower NO synthesis activity and 6-16-fold lower cytochrome c reductase activity than neuronal NOS (nNOS), implying significantly different electron transfer capacities. We utilized purified reductase domain constructs of either enzyme (bovine eNOSr and rat nNOSr) to investigate the following three mechanisms that may control their electron transfer: (i) the set point and control of a two-state conformational equilibrium of their FMN subdomains; (ii) the flavin midpoint reduction potentials; and (iii) the kinetics of NOSr-NADP+ interactions. Although eNOSr and nNOSr differed in their NADP(H) interaction and flavin thermodynamics, the differences were minor and unlikely to explain their distinct electron transfer activities. In contrast, calmodulin (CaM)-free eNOSr favored the FMN-shielded (electron-accepting) conformation over the FMN-deshielded (electron-donating) conformation to a much greater extent than did CaM-free nNOSr when the bound FMN cofactor was poised in each of its three possible oxidation states. NADPH binding only stabilized the FMN-shielded conformation of nNOSr, whereas CaM shifted both enzymes toward the FMN-deshielded conformation. Analysis of cytochrome c reduction rates measured within the first catalytic turnover revealed that the rate of conformational change to the FMN-deshielded state differed between eNOSr and nNOSr and was rate-limiting for either CaM-free enzyme. We conclude that the set point and regulation of the FMN conformational equilibrium differ markedly in eNOSr and nNOSr and can explain the lower electron transfer activity of eNOSr. 相似文献

The role of coenzyme binding in regulating interflavin electron transfer in human cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) has been studied using temperature-jump spectroscopy. Previous studies [Gutierrez, A., Paine, M., Wolf, C.R., Scrutton, N.S., & Roberts, G.C.K. Biochemistry (2002) 41, 4626-4637] have shown that the observed rate, 1/tau, of interflavin electron transfer (FADsq - FMNsq-->FADox - FMNhq) in CPR reduced at the two-electron level with NADPH is 55 +/- 2 s-1, whereas with dithionite-reduced enzyme the observed rate is 11 +/- 0.5 s-1, suggesting that NADPH (or NADP+) binding has an important role in controlling the rate of internal electron transfer. In relaxation experiments performed with CPR reduced at the two-electron level with NADH, the observed rate of internal electron transfer (1/tau = 18 +/- 0.7 s-1) is intermediate in value between those seen with dithionite-reduced and NADPH-reduced enzyme, indicating that the presence of the 2'-phosphate is important for enhancing internal electron transfer. To investigate this further, temperature jump experiments were performed with dithionite-reduced enzyme in the presence of 2',5'-ADP and 2'-AMP. These two ligands increase the observed rate of interflavin electron transfer in two-electron reduced CPR from 1/tau = 11 s-1 to 35 +/- 0.2 s-1 and 32 +/- 0.6 s-1, respectively. Reduction of CPR at the two-electron level by NADPH, NADH or dithionite generates the same spectral species, consistent with an electron distribution that is equivalent regardless of reductant at the initiation of the temperature jump. Spectroelectrochemical experiments establish that the redox potentials of the flavins of CPR are unchanged on binding 2',5'-ADP, supporting the view that enhanced rates of interdomain electron transfer have their origin in a conformational change produced by binding NADPH or its fragments. Addition of 2',5'-ADP either to the isolated FAD-domain or to full-length CPR (in their oxidized and reduced forms) leads to perturbation of the optical spectra of both the flavins, consistent with a conformational change that alters the environment of these redox cofactors. The binding of 2',5'-ADP eliminates the unusual dependence of the observed flavin reduction rate on NADPH concentration (i.e. enhanced at low coenzyme concentration) observed in stopped-flow studies. The data are discussed in the context of previous kinetic studies and of the crystallographic structure of rat CPR. 相似文献

The neuronal and endothelial nitric-oxide synthases (nNOS and eNOS) differ from inducible NOS in their dependence on the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration. Both nNOS and eNOS are activated by the reversible binding of calmodulin (CaM) in the presence of Ca(2+), whereas inducible NOS binds CaM irreversibly. One major divergence in the close sequence similarity between the NOS isoforms is a 40-50-amino acid insert in the middle of the FMN-binding domains of nNOS and eNOS. It has previously been proposed that this insert forms an autoinhibitory domain designed to destabilize CaM binding and increase its Ca(2+) dependence. To examine the importance of the insert we constructed two deletion mutants designed to remove the bulk of it from nNOS. Both mutants (Delta40 and Delta42) retained maximal NO synthesis activity at lower concentrations of free Ca(2+) than the wild type enzyme. They were also found to retain 30% of their activity in the absence of Ca(2+)/CaM, indicating that the insert plays an important role in disabling the enzyme when the physiological Ca(2+) concentration is low. Reduction of nNOS heme by NADPH under rigorous anaerobic conditions was found to occur in the wild type enzyme only in the presence of Ca(2+)/CaM. However, reduction of heme in the Delta40 mutant occurred spontaneously on addition of NADPH in the absence of Ca(2+)/CaM. This suggests that the insert regulates activity by inhibiting electron transfer from FMN to heme in the absence of Ca(2+)/CaM and by destabilizing CaM binding at low Ca(2+) concentrations, consistent with its role as an autoinhibitory domain. 相似文献

Neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS) is activated by the Ca(2+)-dependent binding of calmodulin (CaM) to a characteristic polypeptide linker connecting the oxygenase and reductase domains. Calmodulin binding also activates the reductase domain of the enzyme, increasing the rate of reduction of external electron acceptors such as cytochrome c. Several unusual structural features appear to control this activation mechanism, including an autoinhibitory loop, a C-terminal extension, and kinase-dependent phosphorylation sites. Pre-steady state reduction and oxidation time courses for the nNOS reductase domain indicate that CaM binding triggers NADP(+) release, which may exert control over steady-state turnover. In addition, the second order rate constant for cytochrome c reduction in the absence of CaM was found to be highly dependent on the presence of NADPH. It appears that NADPH induces a conformational change in the nNOS reductase domain, restricting access to the FMN by external electron acceptors. CaM binding reverses this effect, causing a 30-fold increase in the second order rate constant. The results show a startling interplay between the two ligands, which both exert control over the conformation of the domain to influence its electron transfer properties. In the full-length enzyme, NADPH binding will probably close the conformational lock in vivo, preventing electron transfer to the oxygenase domain and the resultant stimulation of nitric oxide synthesis. 相似文献

Human methionine synthase reductase (MSR) is a 78 kDa flavoprotein that regenerates the active form of cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase (MS). MSR contains one FAD and one FMN cofactor per polypeptide and functions in the sequential transfer of reducing equivalents from NADPH to MS via its flavin centers. We report the 1.9 A crystal structure of the NADP+-bound FNR-like module of MSR that spans the NADP(H)-binding domain, the FAD-binding domain, the connecting domain, and part of the extended hinge region, a feature unique to MSR. The overall fold of the protein is similar to that of the corresponding domains of the related diflavin reductase enzymes cytochrome P450 reductase and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS). However, the extended hinge region of MSR, which is positioned between the NADP(H)/FAD- and FMN-binding domains, is in an unexpected orientation with potential implications for the mechanism of electron transfer. Compared with related flavoproteins, there is structural variation in the NADP(H)-binding site, in particular regarding those residues that interact with the 2'-phosphate and the pyrophosphate moiety of the coenzyme. The lack of a conserved binding determinant for the 2'-phosphate does not weaken the coenzyme specificity for NADP(H) over NAD(H), which is within the range expected for the diflavin oxidoreductase family of enzymes. Isothermal titration calorimetry reveals a binding constant of 37 and 2 microM for binding of NADP+ and 2',5'-ADP, respectively, for the ligand-protein complex formed with full-length MSR or the isolated FNR module. These values are consistent with Ki values (36 microM for NADP+ and 1.4 microM for 2',5'-ADP) obtained from steady-state inhibition studies. The relatively weaker binding of NADP+ to MSR compared with other members of the diflavin oxidoreductase family might arise from unique electrostatic repulsive forces near the 5'-pyrophosphate moiety and/or increased hydrophobic stacking between Trp697 and the re face of the FAD isoalloxazine ring. Small structural permutations within the NADP(H)-binding cleft have profound affects on coenzyme binding, which likely retards catalytic turnover of the enzyme in the cell. The biological implications of an attenuated mechanism of MS reactivation by MSR on methionine and folate metabolism are discussed. 相似文献

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) is composed of an oxygenase domain and a reductase domain. The reductase domain has NADPH, FAD, and FMN binding sites. Wild-type nNOS reduced the azo bond of methyl red with a turnover number of approximately 130 min(-1) in the presence of Ca(2+)/calmodulin (CaM) and NADPH under anaerobic conditions. Diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI), a flavin/NADPH binding inhibitor, completely inhibited azo reduction. The omission of Ca(2+)/CaM from the reaction system decreased the activity to 5%. The rate of the azo reduction with an FMN-deficient mutant was also 5% that of the wild type. NADPH oxidation rates for the wild-type and mutant enzymes were well coupled with azo reduction. Thus, we suggest that electrons delivered from the FMN of the nNOS enzyme reduce the azo bond of methyl red and that this reductase activity is controlled by Ca(2+)/CaM. 相似文献

The neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) flavin domain, which has similar redox properties to those of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (P450R), contains binding sites for calmodulin, FAD, FMN, and NADPH. The aim of this study is to elucidate the mechanism of activation of the flavin domain by calcium/calmodulin (Ca(2+)/CaM). In this study, we used the recombinant nNOS flavin domains, which include or delete the calmodulin (CaM)-binding site. The air-stable semiquinone of the nNOS flavin domains showed similar redox properties to the corresponding FAD-FMNH(&z.ccirf;) of P450R. In the absence or presence of Ca(2+)/CaM, the rates of reduction of an FAD-FMN pair by NADPH have been investigated at different wavelengths, 457, 504 and 590 nm by using a stopped-flow technique and a rapid scan spectrophotometry. The reduction of the oxidized enzyme (FAD-FMN) by NADPH proceeds by both one-electron equivalent and two-electron equivalent mechanisms, and the formation of semiquinone (increase of absorbance at 590 nm) was significantly increased in the presence of Ca(2+)/CaM. The air-stable semiquinone form of the enzyme was also rapidly reduced by NADPH. The results suggest that an intramolecular one-electron transfer between the two flavins is activated by the binding of Ca(2+)/CaM. The F(1)H(2), which is the fully reduced form of the air-stable semiquinone, can donate one electron to the electron acceptor, cytochrome c. The proposed mechanism of activation by Ca(2+)/CaM complex is discussed on the basis of that provided by P450R. 相似文献

The enzyme N-acetyl-gamma-glutamyl-phosphate reductase (AGPR) catalyzes the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent reductive dephosphorylation of N-acetyl-gamma-glutamyl-phosphate to N-acetylglutamate-gamma-semialdehyde. This reaction is part of the arginine biosynthetic pathway that is essential for some microorganisms and plants, in particular, for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The structures of apo MtbAGPR in the space groups P2(1)2(1)2(1) and C2 and the structure of MtbAGPR bound to the cofactor NADP(+) have been solved and analyzed. Each MtbAGPR subunit consists of alpha/beta and alpha+beta domains; NADP(+) is bound in the cleft between them. The hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic contacts between the enzyme and cofactor have been examined. Comparison of the apo and the bound enzyme structures has revealed a conformational change in MtbAGPR upon NADP(+) binding. Namely, a loop (Leu88 to His92) moves more than 5 A to confine sterically the cofactor's adenine moiety in a hydrophobic pocket. To identify the catalytically important residues in MtbAGPR, a docking of the substrate to the enzyme has been performed using the present structure of the MtbAGPR/NADP(+) complex. It reveals that residues His217 and His219 could form hydrogen bonds with the docked substrate. In addition, an ion pair could form between the substrate phosphate group and the guanidinium group of Arg114. These interactions optimally place and orient the substrate for subsequent nucleophilic attack by Cys158 on the substrate gamma-carboxyl group. His219 is the most probable general base to accept a proton from Cys158 and an adjacent ion pair interaction with the side-chain carboxyl group of Glu222 could help to stabilize the resulting positive charge on His219. For this catalytic triad to function efficiently it requires a small conformational change of the order of 1 A in the loop containing His217 and His219; this could easily result from the substrate binding. 相似文献

Although the 3D structure of the Ca(2+)-bound CaM (Ca(2+)/CaM) complex with the antagonist, N-(6-aminohexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulphonamide (W-7), has been resolved, the dynamic changes in Ca(2+)/CaM structure upon interaction with W-7 are still unknown. We investigated time- and temperature-dependent dynamic changes in Ca(2+)/CaM interaction with W-7 in physiological conditions using one- and two-dimensional Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (2D-IR). We observed changes in the α-helix secondary structure of Ca(2+)/CaM when complexed with W-7 at a molar ratio of 1:2, but not at higher molar ratios (between 1:2 and 1:5). Kinetic studies revealed that, during the initial 125s at 25°C, Ca(2+)/CaM underwent formation of secondary coil and turn structures upon binding to W-7. Variations in temperature that induced significant changes in the structure of the Ca(2+)/CaM complex failed to do so when Ca(2+)/CaM was complexed with W-7. We concluded that W-7 induced stepwise conformational changes in Ca(2+)/CaM that resulted in a rigidification of the complex and its inability to interact with target proteins and/or polypeptides. 相似文献

The NADPH-dependent reduction of ketopantoate to pantoate, catalyzed by ketopantoate reductase (KPR; EC 1.1.1.169), is essential for the biosynthesis of pantothenate (vitamin B(5)). Here we present the crystal structure of Escherichia coli KPR with NADP(+) bound, solved to 2.1 A resolution. The cofactor is bound in the active site cleft between the N-terminal Rossmann-fold domain and the C-terminal alpha-helical domain. The thermodynamics of cofactor and substrate binding were characterized by isothermal titration calorimetry. The dissociation constant for NADP(+) was found to be 6.5 muM, 20-fold larger than that for NADPH (0.34 muM). The difference is primarily due to the entropic term, suggesting favorable hydrophobic interactions of the more lipophilic nicotinamide ring in NADPH. Comparison of this binary complex structure with the previously studied apoenzyme reveals no evidence for large domain movements on cofactor binding. This observation is further supported both by molecular dynamics and by calorimetric analysis. A model of the ternary complex, based on the structure presented here, provides novel insights into the molecular mechanism of enzyme catalysis. We propose a conformational switch of the essential Lys176 from the "resting" state observed in our structure to an "active" state, to bind ketopantoate. Additionally, we identify the importance of Asn98 for substrate binding and enzyme catalysis. 相似文献

Neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS) is composed of a heme oxygenase domain and a flavin-bound reductase domain. Ca(2+)/calmodulin (CaM) is essential for interdomain electron transfer during catalysis, whereas the role of the catalytically important cofactor, tetrahydrobiopterin (H4B) remains elusive. The product NO appears to bind to the heme and works as a feedback inhibitor. The present study shows that the Fe(3+)-NO complex is reduced to the Fe(2+)-NO complex by NADPH in the presence of both l-Arg and H4B even in the absence of Ca(2+)/CaM. The complex could not be fully reduced in the absence of H4B under any circumstances. However, dihydrobiopterin and N(G)-hydroxy-l-Arg could be substituted for H4B and l-Arg, respectively. No direct correlation could be found between redox potentials of the nNOS heme and the observed reduction of the Fe(3+)-NO complex. Thus, our data indicate the importance of the pterin binding to the active site structure during the reduction of the NO-heme complex by NADPH during catalytic turnover. 相似文献

In neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS), calmodulin (CaM) binding is thought to trigger electron transfer from the reductase domain to the heme domain, which is essential for O(2) activation and NO formation. To elucidate the electron-transfer mechanism, we characterized a series of heterodimers consisting of one full-length nNOS subunit and one oxygenase-domain subunit. The results support an inter-subunit electron-transfer mechanism for the wild type nNOS, in that electrons for catalysis transfer in a Ca(2+)/CaM-dependent way from the reductase domain of one subunit to the heme of the other subunit, as proposed for inducible NOS. This suggests that the two different isoforms form similar dimeric complexes. In a series of heterodimers containing a Ca(2+)/CaM-insensitive mutant (delta40), electrons transferred from the reductase domain to both hemes in a Ca(2+)/CaM-independent way. Thus, in the delta40 mutant electron transfer from the reductase domains to the heme domains can occur via both inter-subunit and intra-subunit mechanisms. However, NO formation activity was exclusively linked to inter-subunit electron transfer and was observed only in the presence of Ca(2+)/CaM. This suggests that the mechanism of activation of nNOS by CaM is not solely dependent on the activation of electron transfer to the nNOS hemes but may involve additional structural factors linked to the catalytic action of the heme domain. 相似文献

Upon addition of NADP+, the rose bengal-sensitized photoinactivation of D-erythrulose reductase from beef liver is prevented to a remarkable extent. Adenosine 2',5'-diphosphate (2',5'-ADP) also has a protective effect, but to a lesser extent. On the other hand, 2'-AMP markedly enhances the photoinactivation. Other nucleotides which have no 2'-phosphoryl group, such as NAD+, 3'-AMP, 5'-AMP, ADP, and NMN, are ineffective. Further, only 2'-AMP derivatives (NADP+, 2',5'-ADP, and 2'-AMP) among these nucleotides were found to be potent competitive inhibitors of the enzyme with small Ki's (6--13 muM). Photooxidation of some methionine residues in the enzyme is prevented by the addition of NADP+ and accelerated in the presence of 2'-AMP. Photooxidation products(s) of 2'-AMP derivatives have no effect upon the enzymatic activity. Although NADP+ and 2'-AMP induce detectable conformational changes of the enzyme, the changes are not characteristic to the compounds. Based on these observations, we present a possible action mechanism of 2'-AMP derivatives on the photoinactivation of D-erythrulose reductase. 相似文献

Crystal structures of several members of the nonphosphorylating CoA-independent aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) family have shown that the peculiar binding mode of the cofactor to the Rossmann fold results in a conformational flexibility for the nicotinamide moiety of the cofactor. This has been hypothesized to constitute an essential feature of the catalytic mechanism because the conformation of the cofactor required for the acylation step is not appropriate for the deacylation step. In the present study, the structure of a reaction intermediate of the E268A-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPN) from Streptococcus mutans, obtained by soaking the crystals of the enzyme/NADP complex with the natural substrate, is reported. The substrate is bound covalently in the four monomers and presents the geometric characteristics expected for a thioacylenzyme intermediate. Control experiments assessed that reduction of the coenzyme has occurred within the crystal. The structure reveals that reduction of the cofactor upon acylation leads to an extensive motion of the nicotinamide moiety with a flip of the reduced pyridinium ring away from the active site without significant changes of the protein structure. This event positions the reduced nicotinamide moiety in a pocket that likely constitutes the exit door for NADPH. Arguments are provided that the structure reported here constitutes a reasonable picture of the first thioacylenzyme intermediate characterized thus far in the ALDH family and that the position of the reduced nicotinamide moiety observed in GAPN is the one suitable for the deacylation step within all of the nonphosphorylating CoA-independent ALDH family. 相似文献

Adrenodoxin reductase (EC 1.18.1.2) catalyzes the oxidation of NADPH by 1.4-benzoquinone. The catalytic constant of this reaction at pH 7.0 is equal to 25-28 s-1. NADP+ acts as the mixed-type nonlinear inhibitor of enzyme increasing Km of NADPH and decreasing catalytic constant. NADP+ and NADPH act as mutually exclusive inhibitors relative to reduced adrenodoxin reductase. The patterns of 2',5'-ADP inhibition are analogous to that of NADP+. These data support the conclusion about the existence of second nicotinamide coenzyme binding centre in adrenodoxin reductase. 相似文献

Fluorescence stopped-flow studies were conducted with recombinant rat liver 3 alpha-HSD, an aldo-keto reductase (AKR) that plays critical roles in steroid hormone inactivation, to characterize the binding of nicotinamide cofactor, the first step in the kinetic mechanism. Binding of NADP(H) involved two events: the fast formation of a loose complex (E.NADP(H)), followed by a conformational change in enzyme structure leading to a tightly bound complex (E.NADP(H)), which was observed as a fluorescence kinetic transient. Binding of NAD(H) was not characterized by a similar kinetic transient, implying a difference in the mode of binding of the two cofactors. Unlike previously characterized AKRs, the rates associated with the formation and decay of E.NADP(H) and E.NADP(H) were much faster than kcat for the oxidoreduction of various substrates, indicating that binding and release of cofactor is not rate-limiting overall in 3 alpha-HSD. Mutation of Arg 276, a highly conserved residue in AKRs that forms a salt bridge with the adenosine 2'-phosphate of NADP(H), resulted in large changes in Km and Kd for NADP(H) that were not observed with NAD(H). The loss in free energy associated with the increase in Kd for NADP(H) is consistent with the elimination of an electrostatic link. Importantly, this mutation abolished the kinetic transient associated with NADPH binding. Thus, anchoring of the adenosine 2'-phosphate of NADPH by Arg 276 appears to be obligatory for the fluorescence kinetic transients to be observed. The removal of Trp 86, a residue involved in fluorescence energy transfer with NAD(P)H, also abolished the kinetic transient, but mutation of Trp 227, a residue on a mobile loop associated with cofactor binding, did not. It is concluded that in 3 alpha-HSD, the time dependence of the change in Trp 86 fluorescence is due to cofactor anchoring, and thus, Trp 86 is a distal reporter of this event.

The solution structures of complexes between calcium-saturated calmodulin (Ca (2+)/CaM) and a CaM-binding domain of the HIV-1 matrix protein p17 have been determined by small-angle X-ray scattering with use of synchrotron radiation as an intense and stable X-ray source. We used three synthetic peptides of residues 11-28, 26-47, and 11-47 of p17 to demonstrate the diversity of CaM-binding conformation. Ca (2+)/CaM complexed with residues 11-28 of p17 adopts a dumbbell-like structure at a molar ratio of 1:2, suggesting that the two peptides bind each lobe of CaM, respectively. Ca (2+)/CaM complexed with residues 26-47 of p17 at a molar ratio of 1:1 adopts a globular structure similar to the NMR structure of Ca (2+)/CaM bound to M13, which adopted a compact globular structure. In contrast to these complexes, Ca (2+)/CaM binds directly with both CaM-binding sites of residues 11-47 of p17 at a molar ratio of 1:1, which induces a novel structure different from known structures previously reported between Ca (2+)/CaM and peptide. A tertiary structural model of the novel structure was constructed using the biopolymer module of Insight II 2000 on the basis of the scattering data. The two domains of CaM remain essentially unchanged upon complexation. The hinge motions, however, occur in a highly flexible linker of CaM, in which the electrostatic residues 74Arg, 78Asp, and 82Glu interact with N-terminal electrostatic residues of the peptide (residues 12Glu, 15Arg, and 18Lys). The acidic residues in the N-terminal domain of CaM interact with basic residues in a central part of the peptide, thereby enabling the central part to change the conformations, while an acidic residue in the C-terminal domain interacts with two basic residues in the two helical sites of the peptide. The overall structure of the complex adopts an extended structure with the radius of gyration of 20.5 A and the interdomain distance of 34.2 A. Thus, the complex is principally stabilized by electrostatic interactions. The hydrophobic patches of Ca (2+)/CaM are not responsible for the binding with the hydrophobic residues in the peptide, suggesting that CaM plays a role to sequester the myristic acid moiety of p17. 相似文献
