Recombinant isopenicillin N synthase fromStreptomyces clavuligerus was produced in the form of inactive inclusion bodies inEscherichia coli. These inclusion bodies were solubilized by treatment with 5 M urea under reducing conditions. Optimization of refolding conditions to recover active isopenicillin N synthase indicated that a dialysis procedure carried out at a protein concentration of about 1.0 mg ml–1 gave maximal recovery of active isopenicillin N synthase. Solubilized isopenicillin N synthase of more than 95% purity was obtained by passing this material through a DEAE-Trisacryl ion exchange column. Expression studies conducted at different temperatures indicated that isopenicillin N synthase was produced predominantly in a soluble, active form when expression was conducted at 20°C, and accounted for about 20% of the total soluble protein. This high-level production facilitated the purification of soluble isopenicillin N synthase to near homogeneity in four steps. Characterization of the purified soluble and solubilized isopenicillin N synthase revealed that they are very similar. 相似文献

Recombinant Aspergillus nidulans isopenicillin N synthase was purified from an Escherichia coli expression system. The apoenzyme in the presence of saturating concentrations of MnCl2 could be crystallized by either macro- or microseeding, using the hanging drop vapor diffusion technique with polyethylene glycol 8000 as precipitant. The crystals (0.5-1.0 mm overall dimensions) diffract X-rays to at least 2.0 A resolution at synchrotrons and belong to space group P212121 with unit cell dimensions of a = 59.2 A, b = 127.0 A, and c = 139.6 A. The asymmetric unit contains one dimer, and the solvent content of the crystals is 60%. The crystals are radiation sensitive. 相似文献

Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) catalyzes formation of the β-lactam and thiazolidine rings of isopenicillin N from its linear tripeptide l-δ-(α-aminoadipoyl)-l-cysteinyl-d-valine (ACV) substrate in an iron- and dioxygen (O2)-dependent four-electron oxidation without precedent in current synthetic chemistry. Recent X-ray free-electron laser studies including time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography show that binding of O2 to the IPNS–Fe(II)–ACV complex induces unexpected conformational changes in α-helices on the surface of IPNS, in particular in α3 and α10. However, how substrate binding leads to conformational changes away from the active site is unknown. Here, using detailed 19F NMR and electron paramagnetic resonance experiments with labeled IPNS variants, we investigated motions in α3 and α10 induced by binding of ferrous iron, ACV, and the O2 analog nitric oxide, using the less mobile α6 for comparison. 19F NMR studies were carried out on singly and doubly labeled α3, α6, and α10 variants at different temperatures. In addition, double electron–electron resonance electron paramagnetic resonance analysis was carried out on doubly spin-labeled variants. The combined spectroscopic and crystallographic results reveal that substantial conformational changes in regions of IPNS including α3 and α10 are induced by binding of ACV and nitric oxide. Since IPNS is a member of the structural superfamily of 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases and related enzymes, related conformational changes may be of general importance in nonheme oxygenase catalysis. 相似文献

Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) catalyses a key step in the penicillin and cephalosporin biosynthetic pathway which involves the oxidative cyclisation of the acyclic peptide delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV) to isopenicillin N. Based on crystallographic evidence from the Aspergillus nidulans IPNS crystal structure complexed with the substrate ACV (Roach et al. (1997) Nature 387, 827-830), we were able to provide mutational evidence for the critical involvement of the conserved R-X-S motif in ACV binding in IPNS. The crystal structure further implicated arginine-87 in the binding of the aminoadipyl portion of ACV. Thus, in this study, the site-directed mutagenesis of the corresponding arginine-89 in Cephalosporium acremonium IPNS (cIPNS) was performed to ascertain its role in cIPNS. Alteration of arginine-89 to five amino acids from different amino acid groups, namely lysine, serine, alanine, aspartate and leucine, was performed and no activity was detected in all the mutants obtained when enzyme bioassays were performed. Furthermore, the solubility of the mutants was considerably lower than the wild-type cIPNS after expression at 37 degrees C, but could be recovered when the expression temperature was lowered to 25 degrees C. This suggests that arginine-89 could be critical for the activity of cIPNS due to its involvement in ACV binding and the solubility of wild-type enzyme. 相似文献

Abstract An early blocked mutant in cephalosporin biosynthesis ( Acremonium chrysogenum N2 ) had simultaneously lost 3 enzymes of the cephalosporin biosynthetic pathway (isopenicillin N synthetase, isopenicillin N epimerase and deacetoxycephalosporin C synthetase) and accumulated the tripeptide α-aminoadipyl-cysteinyl-valine. An overproducing mutant ( A. chrysogenum C-10) showed a 2-fold increase in the same 3 enzymes throughout fermentation, with respect to the low-producing strain A. chrysogenum CW-19. These results suggest that expression of the genes coding for cephalosporin biosynthetic enzymes is altered in a coordinate form in these mutants. 相似文献

Abstract Purified isopenicillin N synthase of Streptomyces lactamdurans JC1843 converted phenylacetyl-cysteinyl-valine, a structural analogue of the natural substrate (α-amino-adipyl-cysteinyl-valine), into a penicillinase-sensitive β-lactam antibiotic. The antibiotic was identified as penicillin G by HPLC. Cyclization of phenylacetyl cysteinylvaline into penicillin G required dithiothreitol (DTT), ascorbic acid and Fe2+ . The affinity of the enzyme for phenylacetyl cysteinylvaline was about 20 times lower than the affinity for α-aminoadipyl-cysteinyl-valine. 相似文献

Abstract Amino acid sequence alignment of the Cephalosporium acremonium isopenicillin N synthase (cIPNS) to similar non-heme Fe2+ -containing enzymes from 28 different sources (bacterial, fungal, plant and animals) revealed a homologous region of high sequence conservation containing an invariant histidine residue at position 272 in cIPNS. The importance of this histidine residue in cIPNS was investigated through site-directed mutagenesis by replacing the histidine residue with leucine. The mutated gene was verified by DNA sequence analysis and expressed in Escherichia coli . When analyzed by denaturing gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting, the mutant cIPNS had identical mobility as that of the wild-type enzyme. Enzyme studies on the mutant enzyme showed loss of enzymatic activity indicating that His272 is essential for the catalytic function of cIPNS, possibly as a ligand for iron binding. 相似文献

Isopenicillin N synthase is essential for the catalytic transformation of a linear tripeptide substrate δ-(l-α-aminoadipyl)-l-cysteinyl-d-valine to isopenicillin N in the biosynthesis of β-lactam antibiotics. The recent Aspergillus nidulans isopenicillin N synthase crystal structure proposed that a conserved arginine, R279, has a role in substrate binding. This study, the first site-directed mutagenesis experiment on arginine in isopenicillin N synthase, was carried out to ascertain the role of the similarly conserved and corresponding arginine residue R281 on catalysis in the fungal Cephalosporium acremonium isopenicillin N synthase. Replacement of the arginine residue with leucine to generate the mutant R281L Cephalosporium isopenicillin N synthase resulted in undetectable activity as shown by enzyme bioassays. It is possible that the mutant's substrate binding capability was eliminated, thus preventing the catalytic reaction. Further investigation into the corresponding arginine residues in isopenicillin N synthase of other species is warranted. 相似文献

The conversion of delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine to isopenicillin N is dependent upon the catalytic action of isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS), an important enzyme in the penicillin and cephalosporin biosynthetic pathway. Recent catalytic investigations on the conserved glutamine-230 in the bacterial Streptomyces jumonjinensis IPNS and the corresponding glutamine-234 in the fungal Cephalosporium acremonium IPNS showed contrasting results whereby the former was suggested to be essential for IPNS activity whereas the latter was found not to be so. In order to unravel these conflicting results, we report the site-directed mutagenesis investigation on the corresponding glutamine-230 in a third IPNS isozyme, which is the bacterial Streptomyces clavuligerus IPNS (scIPNS). IPNS enzymatic assays showed that catalytic activity of the mutant Q230L scIPNS was reduced but not eliminated. Moreover, the solubility of the mutant enzyme was also markedly reduced. Hence, we can conclude that glutamine-230 in scIPNS is not essential for catalysis and correspondingly in all IPNS. 相似文献

Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) is a non-heme iron(II) oxidase which catalyses the biosynthesis of isopenicillin N (IPN) from the tripeptide δ-l-α-aminoadipoyl-l-cysteinyl-d-valine (lld-ACV). Herein we report crystallographic studies to investigate the binding of a truncated lll-substrate in the active site of IPNS. Two epimeric tripeptides have been prepared by solution phase peptide synthesis and crystallised with the enzyme. δ-l-α-Aminoadipoyl-l-cysteinyl-d-2-amino-3,3-dideuteriobutyrate (lld-ACd2Ab) has the same configuration as the natural substrate lld-ACV at each of its three stereocentres; its epimer δ-l-α-aminoadipoyl-l-cysteinyl-l-2-amino-3,3-dideuteriobutyrate (lll-ACd2Ab) has the opposite configuration at its third amino acid. lll-ACV has previously been shown to inhibit IPNS turnover of its substrate lld-ACV; the all-protiated tripeptide δ-l-α-aminoadipoyl-l-cysteinyl-d-2-aminobutyrate (lld-ACAb) is a substrate for IPNS, being turned over to a mixture of penam and cepham products. Comparisons between the crystal structures of the IPNS:Fe(II):lld-ACd2Ab and IPNS:Fe(II):lll-ACd2Ab complexes offer a possible rationale for the previously observed inhibitory effects of lll-ACV on IPNS activity. 相似文献

氢酶是一类催化氢的氧化或质子还原的酶,它在微生物产氢过程中扮演着重要角色。根据氢酶所含的金属元素,可分为NiFe_氢酶、Fe-氢酶和不含金属元素的metal_free氢酶。大多数氢酶含有金属原子,它们参与氢酶活性中心和[Fe_S]簇的形成。氢酶的活性中心直接催化氢的氧化与质子的还原,[Fe_S]簇则参与氢酶催化过程中电子的传输。目前已有数种NiFe_氢酶和Fe_氢酶的X射线衍射晶体结构被阐明。根据metal_free氢酶的序列特征,推断其结构与NiFe_氢酶和Fe_氢酶之间存在较大差异。对氢酶活性中心和[Fe_S]簇的深入研究,揭示了氢酶催化反应的机理。 相似文献

A T7 promoter-based vector was used to express the isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) genes of Flavobacterium sp. 12,154 and Streptomyces jumonjinensis in Escherichia coli. Most of the IPNS synthesized at 37 degrees C, and representing some 22% and 51% of the total cell protein respectively, occurred in an insoluble, enzymatically inactive form. Active IPNS was recovered in a rapid and simple two-step procedure in which the insoluble material was first denatured in 5 M urea and then refolded by passing the solubilized IPNS through a G-25 Sephadex sizing column. Further chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose resulted in highly active IPNS preparations. This procedure was found to be well suited for scaling up to produce large amounts of IPNS. 相似文献

The crystal structure of the S642A mutant of mitochondrial aconitase (mAc) with citrate bound has been determined at 1.8 A resolution and 100 K to capture this binding mode of substrates to the native enzyme. The 2.0 A resolution, 100 K crystal structure of the S642A mutant with isocitrate binding provides a control, showing that the Ser --> Ala replacement does not alter the binding of substrates in the active site. The aconitase mechanism requires that the intermediate product, cis-aconitate, flip over by 180 degrees about the C alpha-C beta double bond. Only one of these two alternative modes of binding, that of the isocitrate mode, has been previously visualized. Now, however, the structure revealing the citrate mode of binding provides direct support for the proposed enzyme mechanism. 相似文献
