A phosphatase specific for the hydrolysis of 3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonate (KDO)-8-phosphate was purified approximately 400-fold from crude extracts of Escherichia coli B. The hydrolysis of KDO-8-phosphate to KDO and inorganic phosphate in crude extracts of E. coli B, grown in phosphate-containing minimal medium, could be accounted for by the enzymatic activity of this specific phosphatase. No other sugar phosphate tested was an alternate substrate or inhibitor of the purified enzyme. KDO-8-phosphate phosphatase was stimulated three- to fourfold by the addition of 1.0 mM Co(+) or Mg(2+) and to a lesser extent by 1.0 mM Ba(2+), Zn(2+), and Mn(2+). The activity was inhibited by the addition of 1.0 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, Cu(2+), Ca(2+), Cd(2+), Hg(2+), and chloride ions (50% at 0.1 M). The pH optimum was determined to be 5.5 to 6.5 in both tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane-acetate and HEPES (N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid) buffer. This specific phosphatase had an isoelectric point of 4.7 to 4.8 and a molecular weight of 80,000 +/- 6,000 as determined by molecular sieving and Ferguson analysis. The enzyme appeared to be composed of two identical subunits of 40,000 to 43,000 molecular weight. The apparent K(m) for KDO-8-phosphate was determined to be 5.8 +/- 0.9 x 10(-5) M in the presence of 1.0 mM Co(2+), 9.1 +/- 1 x 10(-5) M in the presence of 1.0 mM Mg(2+), and 1.0 +/- 0.2 x 10(-4) M in the absence of added Co(2+) or Mg(2+). 相似文献

3-Deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (KDO)-8-phosphate synthetase has been purified 450-fold from frozen Escherichia coli B cells. The purified enzyme catalyzed the stoichiometric formation of KDO-8-phosphate and Pi from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and D-arabinose-5-phosphate. The enzyme showed no metal requirement for activity and was inhibited by 1 mM Cd2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, and Hg2+. The inhibition by Hg2+ could be reversed by dithiothreitol. The optimum temperature for enzyme activity was determined to be 45 degrees C, and the energy of activation calculated by the Arrhenius equation was 15,000 calories (ca. 3,585 J) per mol. The enzyme activity was shown to be pH and buffer dependent, showing two pH optima, one at pH 4.0 to 6.0 in succinate buffer and one at pH 9.0 in glycine buffer. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was 5.1. KDO-8-phosphate synthetase had a molecular weight of 90,000 +/- 6,000 as determined by molecular sieving through G-200 Sephadex and by Ferguson analysis using polyacrylamide gels. Based on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the 90,000-molecular-weight native enzyme was composed of three identical subunits, each with an apparent molecular weight of 32,000 +/- 4,000. The enzyme had an apparent Km for D-arabinose-5-phosphate of 2 X 10(-5) M and an apparent Km for PEP of 6 X 10(-6) M. No other sugar or sugar-phosphate could substitute for D-arabinose-5-phosphate. D-Ribose-5-phosphate was a competitive inhibitor of D-arabinose-5-phosphate, with an apparent Ki of 1 X 10(-3) M. The purified enzyme has been utilized to synthesize millimole quantities of pure KDO-8-phosphate. 相似文献

Cloning and characterization of the gene encoding 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate synthetase from Escherichia coli. 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The cloning of the gene for Escherichia coli PL-2 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-manno-octonate 8-phosphate synthetase is reported. Positive transformants showed an increase of approximately three-fold in specific activity of the enzyme both in E. coli and in Salmonella typhimurium as host cells. A subclone containing a 1.5-kilobase PvuII fragment overproduced active enzyme. Minicell experiments that allow the detection of plasmid encoded proteins revealed an insert-coded single protein band of 34 kilodaltons. 相似文献

Abstract. The enzymatic activity of 3-deoxy- D-manno -octulosonate 8-phosphate (KDOP) synthase was detected in eight diverse plant species, thus providing enzymological data consistent with recent reports of the presence of 3-deoxy- D-manno -octulosonate in plant cell walls. KDOP synthase from spinach was partially purified and characterized. It possessed weak activity as 3-deoxy- D-arabino -heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase. In the presence of phosphoenolpyruvate, which conferred dramatic thermostability, KDOP synthase had a catalytic temperature optimum of about 53°C. The pH optimum was 6.2, and divalent cations were neither stimulatory nor required for activity. The Km values for arabinose 5-P and phosphoenolpyruvate were 0.27 mol m−3 and about 35 mmol m−3 , respectively. The kinetics of periodate oxidation of KDOP formed by spinach KDOP synthase indicate that the same stereochemical configuration exists as with bacterial KDOP. The possibility that an unregulated species of DAHP synthase found in some bacteria might in fact be a KDOP synthase exhibiting substrate ambiguity of the type seen in higher plants was examined. However, the DAHP synthase isozyme, DS-O, from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus was found to be specific for erythrose 4-P. The KDOP synthase of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus was also found to be specific for arabinose 5-P. 相似文献

3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate (KDO8P) synthase catalyzes the condensation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) with arabinose 5-phosphate (A5P) to form KDO8P and inorganic phosphate. KDO8P is the phosphorylated precursor of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate, an essential sugar of the lipopolysaccharide of Gram-negative bacteria. The crystal structure of the Escherichia coli KDO8P synthase has been determined by multiple wavelength anomalous diffraction and the model has been refined to 2.4 A (R-factor, 19.9%; R-free, 23.9%). KDO8P synthase is a homotetramer in which each monomer has the fold of a (beta/alpha)(8) barrel. On the basis of the features of the active site, PEP and A5P are predicted to bind with their phosphate moieties 13 A apart such that KDO8P synthesis would proceed via a linear intermediate. A reaction similar to KDO8P synthesis, the condensation of phosphoenolpyruvate, and erythrose 4-phosphate to form 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAH7P), is catalyzed by DAH7P synthase. In the active site of DAH7P synthase the two substrates PEP and erythrose 4-phosphate appear to bind in a configuration similar to that proposed for PEP and A5P in the active site of KDO8P synthase. This observation suggests that KDO8P synthase and DAH7P synthase evolved from a common ancestor and that they adopt the same catalytic strategy. 相似文献

3-Deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate (KDO8P) synthase catalyses the condensation reaction between phosphoenolpyruvate and D-arabinose 5-phosphate (D-A5P) in a key step in lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis in Gram-negative bacteria. The KDO8P synthase from Neisseria meningitidis was cloned into Escherichia coli, overexpressed and purified. A variety of D-A5P stereoisomers were tested as substrates, of these only D-A5P and l-X5P were substrates. The Asn59Ala mutant of N. meningitidis KDO8P synthase was constructed and this mutant retained less than 1% of the wild-type activity. These results are consistent with a catalytic mechanism for this enzyme in which the C2 and C3 hydroxyl groups of D-A5P and Asn59 are critical. 相似文献

Homogeneous, recombinant 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate synthase from Neisseria gonorrhoeae is shown to catalyze the formation of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate from phosphoenolpyruvate and D-arabinose 5-phosphate as determined from (1)H-nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of the product. This enzyme does not catalyze the condensation of D-erythrose 4-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate to form 3-deoxy-D-ribo-heptulosonate 7-phosphate, as was previously reported (P. S. Subramaniam, G. Xie, T. Xia, and R. A. Jensen, J. Bacteriol. 180:119-127, 1998). 相似文献

Aquifex aeolicus 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate synthase (KDO8PS) catalyzes the condensation of arabinose 5-phosphate (A5P) and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) by favoring the activation of a water molecule coordinated to the active-site metal ion. Cys11, His185, Glu222 and Asp233 are the other metal ligands. Wild-type KDO8PS is purified with Zn(2+) or Fe(2+) in the active site, but maximal activity in vitro is achieved when the endogenous metal is replaced with Cd(2+). The H185G enzyme retains 8% of the wild-type activity. ICP mass spectrometry analysis indicates that loss of His185 decreases the enzyme affinity for Fe(2+), but not for Zn(2+). However, maximal activity is again achieved by substitution of the endogenous metal with Cd(2+). We have determined the X-ray structures of the Cd(2+) H185G enzyme in its substrate-free form, and in complex with PEP, and PEP plus A5P. These structures show a normal amount of Cd(2+) bound, suggesting that coordination by His185 is not essential to retain Cd(2+) in the active site. Nonetheless, there are significant changes in the coordination sphere of Cd(2+) with respect to the wild-type enzyme, as the carboxylate moiety of PEP binds directly to the metal ion and replaces water and His185 as ligands. These observations indicate that the primary function of His185 in A.aeolicus KDO8PS is to orient PEP in the active site of the enzyme in such a way that a water molecule on the sinister (si) side of PEP can be activated by direct coordination to the metal ion. 相似文献

3-Deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate-8-phosphate (KDOP) synthase catalyzes the production of KDOP from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and arabinose-5-phosphate (A5P). In gram-negative bacteria KDOP is subsequently dephosphorylated, cytidylylated, and linked to lipid A and is required for lipid A incorporation into the outer membrane (Raetz, Annu. Rev. Biochem. 59:129–170, 1990). We have crystallized two forms of KDOP synthase belonging to space groups I23 or I213, one with a = b = c = 118.0 Å and the other with a = b = c = 233 Å. 相似文献

The crystal structure of 3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonate-8-phosphate synthase (KDOPS) from Escherichia coli was determined by molecular replacement using coordinates given to us by Radaev and co-workers prior to publication. The KDOPS crystals reported by Radaev et al. were grown in the presence of 1.4 M (NH(4))(2)SO(4) and 0.4 M (K/H)(3)PO(4). They are in the cubic space group I23 (a=228.6 A) with a tetramer in the asymmetric unit; the structure has been refined with data to 2.4 A. Our crystals of E. coli KDOPS, grown in 24 % (w/v) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1500 in the presence of the substrates, 2-phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and d-arabinose-5-phosphate (A5P), are also in space group I23 (a=118.2 A), with one subunit in the asymmetric unit.The medium of crystallization, 1.8 M SO(4)/PO(4) versus 24 % PEG, does not significantly affect the conformation of KDOPS. The inter-monomer contacts in both structures are the same. The beta(8)/alpha(8) loop (residues 246 to 251) situated near the entrance to the active site is not seen in the 229 A structure but can be traced in the 118 A structure.Most significantly, Radaev et al. interpreted two SO(4)/PO(4) sites in the 229 A structure as marking the phosphate positions of the substrates, PEP and A5P, after the precedent of DAHPS. In the 118 A structure the inner of these two SO(4)/PO(4) peaks is present at the same position as in the 229 A structure of KDOPS. The outer phosphate peak in the 118 A KDOPS is 3.7 A from the outer SO(4)/PO(4) peak in the 229 A structure and is within hydrogen bonding distance of Arg63 of the same subunit and Arg120 of another subunit. Based on the precedent of the d-erythrose-4-phosphate (E4P) modeled in the active site of DAHPS, we have modeled PEP and A5P in KDOPS and compared the coordination of PEP and A5P in KDOPS with that of PEP and E4P in DAHPS. 相似文献

The anomeric specificity and the steady-state kinetic mechanism of homogeneous 3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonate-8-phosphate (KDO8P) synthase were investigated. The open-chain 4-deoxy analogue of arabinose-5-phosphate (Ara5P), which is structurally prohibited from undergoing ring closure, was synthesized and tested as a substrate for the synthase. It was found that the analogue functions as a substrate with a similar kcat value to that of the original substrate. The kcat/Km value for the natural substrate is seven-times greater than that of the 4-deoxy analogue. However, taking into account the 9.5% and approximately 1% concentrations of the aldehyde forms of the 4-deoxy analogue and Ara5P in solution, then the 'true' Km values must be in the range 31.5 microM and 0.26 microM, respectively, requiring about a 3 kcal/mol contribution to the binding energy by the 4-hydroxyl group of Ara5P. The data provides evidence that the enzyme acts upon the acyclic form of the natural substrate. The steady-state kinetic study of KDO8P synthase was analyzed via inhibition using the products KDO8P and inorganic phosphate, and D-ribose-5-phosphate as a dead-end inhibitor. First, intersecting lines in double-reciprocal plots of initial-velocity data at substrate concentrations in the micromolar range suggest a sequential mechanism for the enzyme-catalyzed reaction. The inhibition by D-ribose-5-phosphate is competitive for Ara5P and uncompetitive for phosphoenolpyruvate (P-pyruvate). These inhibition patterns are consistent with the model wherein P-pyruvate binding precedes that of Ara5P binding. Furthermore, this order of substrate binding was supported by the observations that KDO8P is a competitive inhibitor for P-pyruvate binding, supporting the concept that KDO8P and P-pyruvate bind to the same enzyme form, and noncompetitively with respect to Ara5P. In addition, the inhibition by inorganic phosphate is noncompetitive with respect to both P-pyruvate and Ara5P, suggesting an apparent ordered release of products such that Pi first, followed by KDO8P. In conclusion, these data suggest a steady-state kinetic mechanism for KDO8P synthase where P-pyruvate binding precedes that of Ara5P, followed by the ordered release of inorganic phosphate and KDO8P. 相似文献

A gene encoding for arabinose 5-phosphate isomerase (API), which catalyzes the interconversion of d-ribulose 5-phosphate (Ru5P) and d-arabinose 5-phosphate (A5P), has been identified from the genome of Escherichia coli K-12. API is the first enzyme in the biosynthesis of 3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonate (KDO), a sugar moiety located in the lipopolysaccharide layer of most Gram-negative bacteria. The API gene yrbH is located next to the recently identified specific KDO 8-P phosphatase gene, yrbI. The 328-amino acid open reading frame yrbH was cloned, overexpressed, and characterized. The purified recombinant enzyme is a tetramer and is sensitive to inhibition by zinc cations. API has optimal activity at pH 8.4 and catalytic residues with estimated pKa values of 6.55 +/- 0.04 and 10.34 +/- 0.07. The enzyme is specific for A5P and Ru5P, with apparent Km values of 0.61 +/- 0.06 mm for A5P and 0.35 +/- 0.08 mm for Ru5P. The apparent kcat in the A5P to Ru5P direction is 157 +/- 4 s-1, and in the Ru5P to A5P direction it is 255 +/- 16 s-1. The value of Keq (Ru5P/A5P) is 0.50 +/- 0.06. Homology searches of the E. coli genome suggest yrbH may be one of multiple genes that encode proteins with API activity. 相似文献

There are two classes of KDO8P synthases characterized respectively by the presence or absence of a metal in the active site. The nonmetallo KDO8PS from Escherichia coli and the metallo KDO8PS from Aquifex aeolicus are the best characterized members of each class. All amino acid residues that make important contacts with the substrates are conserved in both enzymes with the exception of Pro-10, Cys-11, Ser-235, and Gln-237 of the A. aeolicus enzyme, which correspond respectively to Met-25, Asn-26, Pro-252, and Ala-254 in the E. coli enzyme. Interconversion between the two forms of KDO8P synthases can be achieved by substituting the metal-coordinating cysteine of metallo synthases with the corresponding asparagine of nonmetallo synthases, and vice versa. In this report we describe the structural changes elicited by the C11N mutation and by three combinations of mutations (P10M/C11N, C11N/S235P/Q237A, and P10M/C11N/S235P/Q237A) situated along possible evolutionary paths connecting the A. aeolicus and the E. coli enzyme. All four mutants are not capable of binding metal and lack the structural asymmetry among subunits with regard to substrate binding and conformation of the L7 loop, which is typical of A. aeolicus wild-type KDO8PS but is absent in the E. coli enzyme. Despite the lack of the active site metal, the mutant enzymes display levels of activity ranging from 46% to 24% of the wild type. With the sole exception of the quadruple mutant, metal loss does not affect the thermal stability of KDO8PS. The free energy of unfolding in water is also either unchanged or even increased in the mutant enzymes, suggesting that the primary role of the active site metal in A. aeolicus KDO8PS is not to increase the enzyme stability. In all four mutants A5P binding displaces a water molecule located on the si side of PEP. In particular, in the double and triple mutant, A5P binds with the aldehyde carbonyl in hydrogen bond distance of Asn-11, while in the wild type this functional group points away from Cys-11. This alternative conformation of A5P is likely to have functional significance as it resembles the conformation of the acyclic reaction intermediate, which is observed here for the first time in some of the active sites of the triple mutant. The direct visualization of this intermediate by X-ray crystallography confirms earlier mechanistic models of KDO8P synthesis. In particular, the configuration of the C2 chiral center of the intermediate supports a model of the reaction in nonmetallo KDO8PS, in which water attacks an oxocarbenium ion or PEP from the si side of C2. Several explanations are offered to reconcile this observation with the fact that no water molecule is observed at this position in the mutant enzymes in the presence of both PEP and A5P. Significant differences were observed between the wild-type and the mutant enzymes in the Km values for PEP and A5P and in the Kd values for inorganic phosphate and R5P. These differences may reflect an evolutionary adaptation of metallo and nonmetallo KDO8PS's to the cellular concentrations of these metabolites in their respective hosts. 相似文献

When either 3H-labeled L-glyceraldehyde or 3H-labeled L-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP) was added to cultures of Escherichia coli, the phosphoglycerides were labeled. More than 81% of the label appeared in the backbone of the phosphoglycerides. Chromatographic analyses of the labeled phosphoglycerides revealed that the label was normally distributed into phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and cardiolipin. These results suggest that L-glyceraldehyde is phosphorylated and the resultant L-GAP is converted into sn-glycerol 3-phosphate (G3P) before being incorporated into the bacterial phosphoglycerides. Cell-free bacterial extracts catalyzed an NADPH-dependent reduction of L-GAP to sn-G3P. The partially purified enzyme was specific for L-GAP and recognized neither D-GAP nor dihydroxyacetone phosphate as a substrate. NADH could not replace NADPH as a coenzyme. The L-GAP:NADPH oxidoreductase had an apparent Km of 28 and 35 microM for L-GAP and NADPH, respectively. The enzyme was insensitive to sulfhydryl reagents and had a pH optimum of approximately 6.6. The phosphonic acid analog of GAP, 3-hydroxy-4-oxobutyl-1-phosphonate, was a substrate for the reductase, with an apparent Km of 280 microM. 相似文献

The protein YbiV from Escherichia coli K12 MG1655 is a hypothetical protein with sequence homology to the haloacid dehalogenase (HAD) superfamily of proteins. Although numerous members of this family have been identified, the functions of few are known. Using the crystal structure, sequence analysis, and biochemical assays, we have characterized YbiV as a HAD phosphatase. The crystal structure of YbiV reveals a two-domain protein, one with the characteristic HAD hydrolase fold, the other an inserted alpha/beta fold. In an effort to understand the mechanism, we also solved and report the structures of YbiV in complex with beryllofluoride (BeF3-) and aluminum trifluoride (AlF3), which have been shown to mimic the phosphorylated intermediate and transition state for hydrolysis, respectively, in analogy to other HAD phosphatases. Analysis of the structures reveals the substrate-binding cavity, which is hydrophilic in nature. Both structure and sequence homology indicate YbiV may be a sugar phosphatase, which is supported by biochemical assays that measured the release of free phosphate on a number of sugar-like substrates. We also investigated available genomic and functional data in an effort to determine the physiological substrate. 相似文献

Directed evolution of operon of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase/phosphatase from Escherichia coli 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Trehalose is a nonspecific protective agent for biomacromolecules. Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (OtsA)/phosphatase (OtsB), which is encoded by the gene operon otsBA located at -42 of the Escherichia coli genome, is the main enzyme system that catalyzes the synthesis of trehalose in E. coli. We cloned the operon and modified it by directed evolution. Unlike in the previously reported work, we modified the whole operon and screened the positive mutant simultaneously. Thus we believe that the gene complex solves the negative effects between two enzymes if one of them diversifies its structure or functions and finds the form most suitable for trehalose synthesis. It thus mimics the natural process, in which the functional improvement of organisms is related to alterations in coordinated enzymes. The evolution procedure was carried out in a sequence of error-prone PCR, shuffling PCR, and then strict screening of the mutants. After screening of a library of more than 4000 colonies, about 15 positive colonies were analyzed, resulting in a higher concentration of trehalose than control. One of them, E. coli TS7, shows 12.3-fold higher trehalose synthesis ability than E. coli DH5alpha. In contrast, we introduced the cDNA sequence of the tps1 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which has 54% identity with the gene otsA, as one of the templates in shuffling PCR. By hybrid evolution and screening, we obtained 10 positive colonies with higher concentrations of trehalose than control. E. coli TS22 appears to have 5.3-fold higher trehalose synthesis ability than E. coli DH5alpha and 1.6-fold more than E. coli DEF3(pOTS11). This result demonstrated that coevolution and hybrid evolution, as powerful protocols in protein engineering, are effective in modifying enzyme. It indicates that repeating the process of genomic evolution in nature is feasible. 相似文献
