Purification and preliminary crystallographic studies of penicillin G acylase from Providencia rettgeri.

Two isoforms of the heterodimeric enzyme penicillin G acylase (EC 3.5.1.11) from Providencia rettgeri ATCC 31052 (strain Bro1) were purified to near homogeneity. The isoforms exhibited comparable enzymatic activities but differed slightly in the molecular weight and pI of their respective alpha-subunit. The origin of this difference was traced to the partial conversion of the N-terminal Gln of the alpha-subunit to pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid (pyro-Glu). The boundaries of the mature enzyme within the translated DNA sequence of the wild-type propeptide (GenBank {"type":"entrez-nucleotide","attrs":{"text":"M86533","term_id":"150921","term_text":"M86533"}}M86533) were determined. The results conclusively identified the length of the signal peptide and the position of the spacer cleaved from the propeptide to form the active heterodimer. The molecular weights of the alpha- and beta-subunits, based on these termini, were 23.7 and 62.2 kDa, respectively. Both isoforms were crystallized independently as hexagonal bipyramids up to 0.60 mm in diameter in either space group P6(1)22 or P6(5)22 (a = b = 140.5 A and c = 209.5 A) from ammonium sulfate solutions buffered by 50 mM potassium phosphate at pH 7.5. The presence of glycerol, although not required, facilitated crystal growth. Native and heavy atom derivative data were collected to 3.0 A resolution, and the calculation of isomorphous replacement phases is under way.

Molecular structure of an N-formyltransferase from Providencia alcalifaciens O30

The existence of N-formylated sugars in the O-antigens of Gram-negative bacteria has been known since the middle 1980s, but only recently have the biosynthetic pathways for their production been reported. In these pathways, glucose-1-phosphate is first activated by attachment to a dTMP moiety. This step is followed by a dehydration reaction and an amination. The last step in these pathways is catalyzed by N-formyltransferases that utilize N¹⁰-formyltetrahydrofolate as the carbon source. Here we describe the three-dimensional structure of one of these N-formyltransferases, namely VioF from Providencia alcalifaciens O30. Specifically, this enzyme catalyzes the conversion of dTDP-4-amino-4,6-dideoxyglucose (dTDP-Qui4N) to dTDP-4,6-dideoxy-4-formamido-d-glucose (dTDP-Qui4NFo). For this analysis, the structure of VioF was solved to 1.9 Å resolution in both its apoform and in complex with tetrahydrofolate and dTDP-Qui4N. The crystals used in the investigation belonged to the space group R32 and demonstrated reticular merohedral twinning. The overall catalytic core of the VioF subunit is characterized by a six stranded mixed β-sheet flanked on one side by three α-helices and on the other side by mostly random coil. This N-terminal domain is followed by an α-helix and a β-hairpin that form the subunit:subunit interface. The active site of the enzyme is shallow and solvent-exposed. Notably, the pyranosyl moiety of dTDP-Qui4N is positioned into the active site by only one hydrogen bond provided by Lys 77. Comparison of the VioF model to that of a previously determined N-formyltransferase suggests that substrate specificity is determined by interactions between the protein and the pyrophosphoryl group of the dTDP-sugar substrate.     

The structure of lipid A from the lipopolysaccharide of Rhodopseudomonas gelatinosa 29/1

The structure of the lipid A component of Rhodopseudomonas gelatinosa 29/1 lipopolysaccharide was established. It constitutes a -1,6-glucosamine disaccharide substituted on either side by ester-and glycosidically-bound phosphate residues. Both phosphate groups are in turn nonstoichiometrically substituted by ethanolamine. The amino groups of the disaccharide are N-acylated by 3-acyloxyacyl residues: that at the reducing glucosamine by 3-O-(14:0) 10:0, and that at the non-reducing one by 3-O-(12:0)10:0. Hydroxyl groups at C-3 and C-3 are esterified by hydroxycapric acid. Hydroxyl groups at C-4 and C-6 in free hydroxycapric acid. Hydroxyl groups at C-4 and C-6 in free lipid A were shown to be unoccupied by methylation with diazomethane. A similar methylation of the intact lipopolysaccharide revealed a free hydroxyl group only at C-4, indicating that C-6 is the attachment site of 3-deoxy-d-anno-octulosonic acid.By preparative thin-layer chromatography free lipid A could be resolved into at least two major and one minor fractions. Lipid A of R. gelatinosa 29/1 shows high lethal toxicity, comparable to that of Salmonella lipid A.Abbreviations GlcN d-Glucosamine - dOclA 2-keto-3-deoxy-d-manno-octonate - GC-MS combined gas liquid chromatographymass spectrometry - LPS lipopolysaccharide Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Gerhart Drews on the occasion of his 60th birthday
