The adenosine monoposphate‐forming acyl‐CoA synthetase enzymes catalyze a two‐step reaction that involves the initial formation of an acyl adenylate that reacts in a second partial reaction to form a thioester between the acyl substrate and CoA. These enzymes utilize a Domain Alternation catalytic mechanism, whereby a ~110 residue C‐terminal domain rotates by 140° to form distinct catalytic conformations for the two partial reactions. The structure of an acetoacetyl‐CoA synthetase (AacS) is presented that illustrates a novel aspect of this C‐terminal domain. Specifically, several acetyl‐ and acetoacetyl‐CoA synthetases contain a 30‐residue extension on the C‐terminus compared to other members of this family. Whereas residues from this extension are disordered in prior structures, the AacS structure shows that residues from this extension may interact with key catalytic residues from the N‐terminal domain.

An analysis of the potential involvement of alicyclic cations in biogenetic-like olefin cyclizations is presented. Application of the concepts of conformational analysis and transition state structures to the intramolecular attack of an olefinic double bond on a conformationally rigid cyclohexyl cation leads to the conclusion that such reactions should proceed with high stereoselectivity. A number of examples of cationic olefin cyclizations, including some undertaken specifically to test the theoretical analysis, are reviewed and discussed in relation to the potential involvement of alicyclic cations as intermediates in these cyclizations. This review illustrates some of the problems encountered in attempting to study mechanisms of olefinic cyclizations related to those involved in in vivo terpenoid biogenesis. The intervention of cyclohexenyl intermediates is implicated as a major cause of formation of large amounts of cis products in cationic olefin cyclizations. The results serve to demonstrate that intrinsic steric factors as well as stereoelectronic factors will favor stereoselective cyclization of polyolefins in enzymatically controlled olefin cyclizations as well as in vitro olefinic cyclizations. 相似文献

The microbial cleavage of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) generates volatile dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and is an important step in global sulfur and carbon cycles. DddP is a DMSP lyase in marine bacteria, and the deduced dddP gene product is abundant in marine metagenomic data sets. However, DddP belongs to the M24 peptidase family according to sequence alignment. Peptidases hydrolyze C‐N bonds, but DddP is deduced to cleave C‐S bonds. Mechanisms responsible for this striking functional shift are currently unknown. We determined the structures of DMSP lyase RlDddP (the DddP from Ruegeria lacuscaerulensis ITI_1157) bound to inhibitory 2‐(N‐morpholino) ethanesulfonic acid or PO43? and of two mutants of RlDddP bound to acrylate. Based on structural, mutational and biochemical analyses, we characterized a new ion‐shift catalytic mechanism of RlDddP for DMSP cleavage. Furthermore, we suggested the structural mechanism leading to the loss of peptidase activity and the subsequent development of DMSP lyase activity in DddP. This study sheds light on the catalytic mechanism and the divergent evolution of DddP, leading to a better understanding of marine bacterial DMSP catabolism and global DMS production. 相似文献

Chlamydia trachomatis ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is a class Ic RNR. It has two homodimeric subunits: proteins R1 and R2. Class Ic protein R2 in its most active form has a manganese–iron metal cofactor, which functions in catalysis like the tyrosyl radical in classical class Ia and Ib RNRs. Oligopeptides with the same sequence as the C‐terminus of C. trachomatis protein R2 inhibit the catalytic activity of C. trachomatis RNR, showing that the class Ic enzyme shares a similar highly specific inhibition mechanism with the previously studied radical‐containing class Ia and Ib RNRs. The results indicate that the catalytic mechanism of this class of RNRs with a manganese–iron cofactor is similar to that of the tyrosyl‐radical‐containing RNRs, involving reversible long‐range radical transfer between proteins R1 and R2. The competitive binding of the inhibitory R2‐derived oligopeptide blocks the transfer pathway. We have constructed three‐dimensional structure models of C. trachomatis protein R1, based on homologous R1 crystal structures, and used them to discuss possible binding modes of the peptide to protein R1. Typical half maximal inhibitory concentration values for C. trachomatis RNR are about 200 µ m for a 20‐mer peptide, indicating a less efficient inhibition compared with those for an equally long peptide in the Escherichia coli class Ia RNR. A possible explanation is that the C. trachomatis R1/R2 complex has other important interactions, in addition to the binding mediated by the R1 interaction with the C‐terminus of protein R2.

Xylanases are capable of decomposing xylans, the major components in plant cell wall, and releasing the constituent sugars for further applications. Because xylanase is widely used in various manufacturing processes, high specific activity, and thermostability are desirable. Here, the wild‐type and mutant (E146A and E251A) catalytic domain of xylanase from Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum JW/SL‐YS485 (TsXylA) were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified subsequently. The recombinant protein showed optimal temperature and pH of 75°C and 6.5, respectively, and it remained fully active even after heat treatment at 75°C for 1 h. Furthermore, the crystal structures of apo‐form wild‐type TsXylA and the xylobiose‐, xylotriose‐, and xylotetraose‐bound E146A and E251A mutants were solved by X‐ray diffraction to high resolution (1.32–1.66 Å). The protein forms a classic (β/α)8 folding of typical GH10 xylanases. The ligands in substrate‐binding groove as well as the interactions between sugars and active‐site residues were clearly elucidated by analyzing the complex structures. According to the structural analyses, TsXylA utilizes a double displacement catalytic machinery to carry out the enzymatic reactions. In conclusion, TsXylA is effective under industrially favored conditions, and our findings provide fundamental knowledge which may contribute to further enhancement of the enzyme performance through molecular engineering.

An aldo‐keto reductase AKR5C3 from Gluconobacter oxydans (designated as Gox0644) is a useful enzyme with various substrates, including aldehydes, diacetyl, keto esters, and α‐ketocarbonyl compounds. The crystal structures of AKR5C3 in apoform in complex with NADPH and the D53A mutant (AKR5C3‐D53A) in complex with NADPH are presented herein. Structure comparison and site‐directed mutagenesis combined with biochemical kinetics analysis reveal that the conserved Asp53 in the AKR5C3 catalytic tetrad has a crucial role in securing active pocket conformation. The gain‐of‐function Asp53 to Ala mutation triggers conformational changes on the Trp30 and Trp191 side chains, improving NADPH affinity to AKR5C3, which helps increase catalytic efficiency. The highly conserved Trp30 and Trp191 residues interact with the nicotinamide moiety of NADPH and help form the NADPH‐binding pocket. The AKR5C3‐W30A and AKR5C3‐W191Y mutants show decreased activities, confirming that both residues facilitate catalysis. Residue Trp191 is in the loop structure, and the AKR5C3‐W191Y mutant does not react with benzaldehyde, which might also determine substrate recognition. Arg192, which is involved in the substrate binding, is another important residue. The introduction of R192G increases substrate‐binding affinity by improving hydrophobicity in the substrate‐binding pocket. These results not only supplement the AKRs superfamily with crystal structures but also provide useful information for understanding the catalytic properties of AKR5C3 and guiding further engineering of this enzyme. 相似文献

Proper protein anchoring is key to the biogenesis of prokaryotic cell surfaces, dynamic, resilient structures that play crucial roles in various cell processes. A novel surface protein anchoring mechanism in Haloferax volcanii depends upon the peptidase archaeosortase A (ArtA) processing C‐termini of substrates containing C‐terminal tripartite structures and anchoring mature substrates to the cell membrane via intercalation of lipid‐modified C‐terminal amino acid residues. While this membrane protein lacks clear homology to soluble sortase transpeptidases of Gram‐positive bacteria, which also process C‐termini of substrates whose C‐terminal tripartite structures resemble those of ArtA substrates, archaeosortases do contain conserved cysteine, arginine and arginine/histidine/asparagine residues, reminiscent of His‐Cys‐Arg residues of sortase catalytic sites. The study presented here shows that ArtAWT‐GFP expressed in trans complements ΔartA growth and motility phenotypes, while alanine substitution mutants, Cys173 (C173A), Arg214 (R214A) or Arg253 (R253A), and the serine substitution mutant for Cys173 (C173S), fail to complement these phenotypes. Consistent with sortase active site replacement mutants, ArtAC173A‐GFP, ArtAC173S‐GFP and ArtAR214A‐GFP cannot process substrates, while replacement of the third residue, ArtAR253A‐GFP retains some processing activity. These findings support the view that similarities between certain aspects of the structures and functions of the sortases and archaeosortases are the result of convergent evolution. 相似文献

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)‐ribosylation is a post‐translational protein modification implicated in the regulation of a range of cellular processes. A family of proteins that catalyse ADP‐ribosylation reactions are the poly(ADP‐ribose) (PAR) polymerases (PARPs). PARPs covalently attach an ADP‐ribose nucleotide to target proteins and some PARP family members can subsequently add additional ADP‐ribose units to generate a PAR chain. The hydrolysis of PAR chains is catalysed by PAR glycohydrolase (PARG). PARG is unable to cleave the mono(ADP‐ribose) unit directly linked to the protein and although the enzymatic activity that catalyses this reaction has been detected in mammalian cell extracts, the protein(s) responsible remain unknown. Here, we report the homozygous mutation of the c6orf130 gene in patients with severe neurodegeneration, and identify C6orf130 as a PARP‐interacting protein that removes mono(ADP‐ribosyl)ation on glutamate amino acid residues in PARP‐modified proteins. X‐ray structures and biochemical analysis of C6orf130 suggest a mechanism of catalytic reversal involving a transient C6orf130 lysyl‐(ADP‐ribose) intermediate. Furthermore, depletion of C6orf130 protein in cells leads to proliferation and DNA repair defects. Collectively, our data suggest that C6orf130 enzymatic activity has a role in the turnover and recycling of protein ADP‐ribosylation, and we have implicated the importance of this protein in supporting normal cellular function in humans. 相似文献

To survive hostile conditions, the bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis produces millimolar concentrations of mycothiol as a redox buffer against oxidative stress. The reductases that couple the reducing power of mycothiol to redox active proteins in the cell are not known. We report a novel mycothiol‐dependent reductase (mycoredoxin‐1) with a CGYC catalytic motif. With mycoredoxin‐1 and mycothiol deletion strains of Mycobacterium smegmatis, we show that mycoredoxin‐1 and mycothiol are involved in the protection against oxidative stress. Mycoredoxin‐1 acts as an oxidoreductase exclusively linked to the mycothiol electron transfer pathway and it can reduce S‐mycothiolated mixed disulphides. Moreover, we solved the solution structures of oxidized and reduced mycoredoxin‐1, revealing a thioredoxin fold with a putative mycothiol‐binding site. With HSQC snapshots during electron transport, we visualize the reduction of oxidized mycoredoxin‐1 as a function of time and find that mycoredoxin‐1 gets S‐mycothiolated on its N‐terminal nucleophilic cysteine. Mycoredoxin‐1 has a redox potential of ?218 mV and hydrogen bonding with neighbouring residues lowers the pKa of its N‐terminal nucleophilic cysteine. Determination of the oxidized and reduced structures of mycoredoxin‐1, better understanding of mycothiol‐dependent reactions in general, will likely give new insights in how M. tuberculosis survives oxidative stress in human macrophages. 相似文献

Porous carbon nitride (PCN) composites are fabricated using a top‐down strategy, followed by additions of graphene and CoSx nanoparticles. This subsequently enhances conductivity and catalytic activity of PCN (abbreviated as CoSx@PCN/rGO) and is achieved by one‐step sulfuration of PCN/graphene oxides (GO) composite materials. As a result, the as‐prepared CoSx@PCN/rGO catalysts display excellent activity and stability toward both oxygen evolution and reduction reactions, surpassing electrocatalytic performance shown by state‐of‐the‐art Pt, RuO2 and other carbon nitrides. Remarkably, the CoSx@PCN/rGO bifunctional activity allows for applications in zinc‐air batteries, which show better rechargeability than Pt/C. The enhanced catalytic performance of CoSx@PCN/rGO can primarily be attributed to the highly porous morphology and sufficiently exposed active sites that are favorable for electrocatalytic reactions. 相似文献

Direct conversion of solar light into chemical energy by means of photocatalysis or photoelectrocatalysis is currently a point of focus for sustainable energy development and environmental remediation. However, its current efficiency is still far from satisfying, suffering especially from severe charge recombination. To solve this problem, the piezo‐phototronic effect has emerged as one of the most effective strategies for photo(electro)catalysis. Through the integration of piezoelectricity, photoexcitation, and semiconductor properties, the built‐in electric field by mechanical stimulation induced polarization can serve as a flexible autovalve to modulate the charge‐transfer pathway and facilitate carrier separation both in the bulk phase and at the surfaces of semiconductors. This review focuses on illustrating the trends and impacts of research based on piezo‐enhanced photocatalytic reactions. The fundamental mechanisms of piezo‐phototronics modulated band bending and charge migration are highlighted. Through comparing and classifying different categories of piezo‐photocatalysts (like the typical ZnO, MoS2, and BaTiO3), the recent advances in polarization‐promoted photo(electro)catalytic processes involving water splitting and pollutant degradation are overviewed. Meanwhile the optimization methods to promote their catalytic activities are described. Finally, the outlook for future development of polarization‐enhanced strategies is presented. 相似文献

Cutinases are powerful hydrolases that can cleave ester bonds of polyesters such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), opening up new options for enzymatic routes for polymer recycling and surface modification reactions. Cutinase from Aspergillus oryzae (AoC) is promising owing to the presence of an extended groove near the catalytic triad which is important for the orientation of polymeric chains. However, the catalytic efficiency of AoC on rigid polymers like PET is limited by its low thermostability; as it is essential to work at or over the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PET, that is, 70°C. Consequently, in this study we worked toward the thermostabilization of AoC. Use of Rosetta computational protein design software in conjunction with rational design led to a 6°C improvement in the thermal unfolding temperature (Tm) and a 10‐fold increase in the half‐life of the enzyme activity at 60°C. Surprisingly, thermostabilization did not improve the rate or temperature optimum of enzyme activity. Three notable findings are presented as steps toward designing more thermophilic cutinase: (a) surface salt bridge optimization produced enthalpic stabilization, (b) mutations to proline reduced the entropy loss upon folding, and (c) the lack of a correlative increase in the temperature optimum of catalytic activity with thermodynamic stability suggests that the active site is locally denatured at a temperature below the Tm of the global structure.

7‐Carboxy‐7‐deazaguanine synthase, QueE, catalyzes the radical mediated ring contraction of 6‐carboxy‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydropterin, forming the characteristic pyrrolopyrimidine core of all 7‐deazaguanine natural products. QueE is a member of the S‐adenosyl‐L‐methionine (AdoMet) radical enzyme superfamily, which harnesses the reactivity of radical intermediates to perform challenging chemical reactions. Members of the AdoMet radical enzyme superfamily utilize a canonical binding motif, a CX3CX?C motif, to bind a [4Fe‐4S] cluster, and a partial (β/α)6 TIM barrel fold for the arrangement of AdoMet and substrates for catalysis. Although variations to both the cluster‐binding motif and the core fold have been observed, visualization of drastic variations in the structure of QueE from Burkholderia multivorans called into question whether a re‐haul of the defining characteristics of this superfamily was in order. Surprisingly, the structure of QueE from Bacillus subtilis revealed an architecture more reminiscent of the classical AdoMet radical enzyme. With these two QueE structures revealing varying degrees of alterations to the classical AdoMet fold, a new question arises: what is the purpose of these alterations? Here, we present the structure of a third QueE enzyme from Escherichia coli, which establishes the middle range of the spectrum of variation observed in these homologs. With these three homologs, we compare and contrast the structural architecture and make hypotheses about the role of these structural variations in binding and recognizing the biological reductant, flavodoxin. Broader impact statement: We know more about how enzymes are tailored for catalytic activity than about how enzymes are tailored to react with a physiological reductant. Here, we consider structural differences between three 7‐carboxy‐7‐deazaguanine synthases and how these differences may be related to the interaction between these enzymes and their biological reductant, flavodoxin. 相似文献

Borrelidins M?O ( 1 – 3 ), along with four previously known family members ( 4 – 7 ), were isolated from marine pulmonated mollusks Onchidium sp. associated Streptomyces olivaceus SCSIO LO13. The structures of 1 – 3 were elucidated by extensive spectral analyses of HR‐ESI‐MS, 1D and 2D NMR data. In addition, the cytotoxic and antibacterial activities of 1 – 7 were evaluated enabling us to propose some tentative structure‐activity relationships (SARs), especially those involving modifications at C(22) and the moieties at C(7) and C(8) of the borrelidin scaffold. 相似文献

Theoretical Study of N‐Heterocyclic Carbenes‐Catalyzed Cascade Annulation of Benzodienones and Enals
Growing attention in developing new N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC)‐mediated reactions involving homoenolate intermediates has prompted our interest in exploring the mechanistic details of the related reactions. In this work, we carried out a detailed theoretical study for the NHC‐catalyzed annulation reaction of cinnamaldehyde ( A ) and benzodi(enone) ( B ) in the presence of 1,8‐diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐ene (DBU). By performing density functional theory calculations, we show clearly the detailed reaction mechanism and rationalize the experimental observation. The reaction of A and B falls into two stages: the formation of homoenolate intermediate and the annulation of homoenolate with B . In the homoenolate formation stage, three possible paths are characterized. The pathway involving the DBU‐assisted 1,2‐proton transfer with a stepwise mechanism is kinetically more favorable, and the DBU‐assisted C1 proton departure is the rate‐determining step of the total reaction. The annulation of homoenolate with B involves four elementary steps. The conformational difference of homoenolate (cis and trans) leads to two slightly different reaction processes. In the total reaction, the process involving cis‐conformation of A is kinetically more feasible. This can be clearly understood through the frontier molecular orbital analysis and the electronic inductive effect. The calculated results are expected to offer valuable information for further design and development of NHC‐mediated reactions. Chirality 25:521‐528, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Enzyme activity is typically assayed by quantitatively measuring the initial and final concentrations of the substrates and/or products over a defined time period. For enzymatic reactions involving gaseous substrates, the substrate concentrations can be estimated either directly by gas chromatography or mass spectrometry, or indirectly by absorption spectroscopy, if the catalytic reactions involve electron transfer with electron mediators that exhibit redox‐dependent spectral changes. We have developed a new assay system for measuring the time course of enzymatic reactions involving gaseous substrates based on Raman spectroscopy. This system permits continuous monitoring of the gas composition in the reaction cuvette in a non‐invasive manner over a prolonged time period. We have applied this system to the kinetic study of the [NiFe] hydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Miyazaki F. This enzyme physiologically catalyzes the reversible oxidation of H2 and also possesses the nonphysiological functions of H/D exchange and nuclear spin isomer conversion reactions. The proposed system has the additional advantage of enabling us to measure all of the hydrogenase‐mediated reactions simultaneously. Using the proposed system, we confirmed that H2 (the fully exchanged product) is concomitantly produced alongside HD by the H/D exchange reaction in the D2/H2O system. Based on a kinetic model, the ratio of the rate constants of the H/D exchange reaction (k) at the active site and product release rate (kout) was estimated to be 1.9 ± 0.2. The proposed assay method based on Raman spectroscopy can be applied to the investigation of other enzymes involving gaseous substrates. 相似文献

The lipase from Burkholderia cepacia, formerly known as Pseudomonas cepacia lipase, is a commercial enzyme in both soluble and immobilized forms widely recognized for its thermal resistance and tolerance to a large number of solvents and short‐chain alcohols. The main applications of this lipase are in transesterification reactions and in the synthesis of drugs (because of the properties mentioned above). This review intends to show the features of this enzyme and some of the most relevant aspects of its use in different synthesis reactions. Also, different immobilization techniques together with the effect of various compounds on lipase activity are presented. This lipase shows important advantages over other lipases, especially in reaction media including solvents or reactions involving short‐chain alcohols. 相似文献

Trimethylamine (TMA) and trimethylamine N‐oxide (TMAO) are widespread in the ocean and are important nitrogen source for bacteria. TMA monooxygenase (Tmm), a bacterial flavin‐containing monooxygenase (FMO), is found widespread in marine bacteria and is responsible for converting TMA to TMAO. However, the molecular mechanism of TMA oxygenation by Tmm has not been explained. Here, we determined the crystal structures of two reaction intermediates of a marine bacterial Tmm (RnTmm) and elucidated the catalytic mechanism of TMA oxidation by RnTmm. The catalytic process of Tmm consists of a reductive half‐reaction and an oxidative half‐reaction. In the reductive half‐reaction, FAD is reduced and a C4a‐hydroperoxyflavin intermediate forms. In the oxidative half‐reaction, this intermediate attracts TMA through electronic interactions. After TMA binding, NADP+ bends and interacts with D317, shutting off the entrance to create a protected micro‐environment for catalysis and exposing C4a‐hydroperoxyflavin to TMA for oxidation. Sequence analysis suggests that the proposed catalytic mechanism is common for bacterial Tmms. These findings reveal the catalytic process of TMA oxidation by marine bacterial Tmm and first show that NADP+ undergoes a conformational change in the oxidative half‐reaction of FMOs. 相似文献

This review deals with 2‐azapurine (imidazo[4,5‐d] [1,2,3]triazine) nucleosides and closely related analogs. Different routes are described to yield the desired target compounds, including a sequence of ring‐opening and ring‐closure reactions performed on purine nucleosides or direct glycosylation of a 2‐azapurine nucleobase with a sugar halide. Further, physical and spectroscopic properties of 2‐azapurine nucleosides are discussed, including fluorescence, 13C‐NMR data, single‐crystal X‐ray analyses, and conformation studies on selected compounds; new biological data are presented. The second part of this review is dedicated to oligonucleotides containing 2‐azapurines, including building‐block (phosphoramidite) preparation and their use in solid‐phase oligonucleotide synthesis. Base‐pairing properties of 2‐azapurine nucleosides as surrogates of canonical constituents of DNA were evaluated. 相似文献
