The simplest carbapenem antibiotic, (5R)-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid, is biosynthesized from primary metabolites in Pectobacterium carotorova by the action of three enzymes, carboxymethylproline synthase (hereafter named CarB), carbapenam synthetase, and carbapenem synthase. CarB, a member of the crotonase superfamily, catalyzes the formation of (2S,5S)-5-carboxymethylproline from malonyl-CoA and l-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. In this study we show that, in addition, CarB catalyzes the independent decarboxylation of malonyl-CoA and methylmalonyl-CoA and the hydrolysis of CoA esters such as acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA. The steady-state rate constants for these reactions are reported. We have identified the intermediates in the CarB reactions with l-pyrroline-5-carboxylate and malonyl-CoA or methylmalonyl-CoA as the CoA esters of (2S,5S)-5-carboxymethylproline and (2S,5S)-6-methyl-5-carboxymethylproline, respectively. The data provided indicate that these intermediates partition between completing turnover and dissociating from the enzyme. On the basis of the steady-state rate constants measured for the CarB-catalyzed hydrolysis of synthetic (2S,5S)-5-carboxymethylprolyl-CoA and for the CarB reaction with malonyl-CoA and l-pyrroline-5-carboxylate, we have calculated the rate constants for each step of these reactions. The results identify CarB as a particularly interesting member of the crotonase superfamily that combines in one net reaction three activities of this superfamily, decarboxylation, C-C bond formation, and CoA ester hydrolysis. 相似文献

Carboxymethylproline synthase (CarB) catalyzes the committed step in the biosynthesis of (R)-1-carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylate, the simplest member of the carbapenem family of beta-lactam antibiotics, some of which are used clinically. CarB displays sequence homology with members of the crotonase family including enoyl-CoA hydratase (crotonase) and methylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase. The CarB reaction has been proposed to comprise condensation of acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA) and glutamate semi-aldehyde to give (2S,5S)-carboxymethylproline ((2S,5S)-CMP). (2S,5S)-CMP is then cyclized in an ATP-driven reaction catalyzed by CarA to give a carbapenam, which is subsequently epimerized and desaturated to give a carbapenem in a CarC-mediated reaction. Here we report the purification of recombinant CarB and that it exists predominantly in a trimeric form as do other members of the crotonase family. AcCoA was not found to be a substrate for CarB. Instead malonyl-CoA was found to be a substrate, efficiently producing (2S,5S)-CMP in the presence of glutamate semi-aldehyde. In the absence of glutamate semi-aldehyde, mass spectrometric analysis indicated that CarB catalyzed the decarboxylation of malonyl-CoA to AcCoA. The reactions of CarB, CarA, and CarC were coupled in vitro demonstrating the viability of malonyl-CoA as a carbapenem precursor. CarB was also shown to accept methylmalonyl CoA as a substrate to form 6-methyl-(2S,5S)CMP, which in turn is a substrate for CarA. The implications of the results for the biosynthesis of both carbapenem-3-carboxylate and C-2/C-6-substituted carbapenems, such as thienamycin, are discussed. 相似文献

The enzyme Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) dehydrogenase (aka P5CDH and ALDH4A1) is an aldehyde dehydrogenase that catalyzes the oxidation of γ-glutamate semialdehyde to l-glutamate. The crystal structures of mouse P5CDH complexed with glutarate, succinate, malonate, glyoxylate, and acetate are reported. The structures are used to build a structure-activity relationship that describes the semialdehyde carbon chain length and the position of the aldehyde group in relation to the cysteine nucleophile and oxyanion hole. Efficient 4- and 5-carbon substrates share the common feature of being long enough to span the distance between the anchor loop at the bottom of the active site and the oxyanion hole at the top of the active site. The inactive 2- and 3-carbon semialdehydes bind the anchor loop but are too short to reach the oxyanion hole. Inhibition of P5CDH by glyoxylate, malonate, succinate, glutarate, and l-glutamate is also examined. The Ki values are 0.27 mM for glyoxylate, 58 mM for succinate, 30 mM for glutarate, and 12 mM for l-glutamate. Curiously, malonate is not an inhibitor. The trends in Ki likely reflect a trade-off between the penalty for desolvating the carboxylates of the free inhibitor and the number of compensating hydrogen bonds formed in the enzyme-inhibitor complex. 相似文献

The bi-functional malonyl-CoA reductase is a key enzyme of the 3-hydroxypropionate bi-cycle for bacterial CO2 fixation, catalysing the reduction of malonyl-CoA to malonate semialdehyde and further reduction to 3-hydroxypropionate. Here, we report the crystal structure and the full-length architecture of malonyl-CoA reductase from Porphyrobacter dokdonensis. The malonyl-CoA reductase monomer of 1230 amino acids consists of four tandemly arranged short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases, with two catalytic and two non-catalytic short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases, and forms a homodimer through paring contact of two malonyl-CoA reductase monomers. The complex structures with its cofactors and substrates revealed that the malonyl-CoA substrate site is formed by the cooperation of two short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases and one novel extra domain, while only one catalytic short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase contributes to the formation of the malonic semialdehyde-binding site. The phylogenetic and structural analyses also suggest that the bacterial bi-functional malonyl-CoA has a structural origin that is completely different from the archaeal mono-functional malonyl-CoA and malonic semialdehyde reductase, and thereby constitute an efficient enzyme. 相似文献

Dissection of malonyl-coenzyme A decarboxylation from polyketide formation in the reaction mechanism of a plant polyketide synthase 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Chalcone synthase (CHS) catalyzes formation of the phenylpropanoid chalcone from one p-coumaroyl-CoA and three malonyl-coenzyme A (CoA) thioesters. The three-dimensional structure of CHS [Ferrer, J.-L., Jez, J. M., Bowman, M. E., Dixon, R. A., and Noel, J. P. (1999) Nat. Struct. Biol. 6, 775-784] suggests that four residues (Cys164, Phe215, His303, and Asn336) participate in the multiple decarboxylation and condensation reactions catalyzed by this enzyme. Here, we functionally characterize 16 point mutants of these residues for chalcone production, malonyl-CoA decarboxylation, and the ability to bind CoA and acetyl-CoA. Our results confirm Cys164's role as the active-site nucleophile in polyketide formation and elucidate the importance of His303 and Asn336 in the malonyl-CoA decarboxylation reaction. We suggest that Phe215 may help orient substrates at the active site during elongation of the polyketide intermediate. To better understand the structure-function relationships in some of these mutants, we also determined the crystal structures of the CHS C164A, H303Q, and N336A mutants refined to 1.69, 2.0, and 2.15 A resolution, respectively. The structure of the C164A mutant reveals that the proposed oxyanion hole formed by His303 and Asn336 remains undisturbed, allowing this mutant to catalyze malonyl-CoA decarboxylation without chalcone formation. The structures of the H303Q and N336A mutants support the importance of His303 and Asn336 in polarizing the thioester carbonyl of malonyl-CoA during the decarboxylation reaction. In addition, both of these residues may also participate in stabilizing the tetrahedral transition state during polyketide elongation. Conservation of the catalytic functions of the active-site residues may occur across a wide variety of condensing enzymes, including other polyketide and fatty acid synthases. 相似文献

The bifunctional Escherichia coli glutathionylspermidine synthetase/amidase (GspSA) catalyzes both the synthesis and hydrolysis of Gsp. Its amidase domain (GspA), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of Gsp into glutathione and spermidine, plays an important role in redox sensing and protein S-thiolation. To gain insight of the regulation and catalytic mechanism of and further understand the recycling of the Gsp dimer and Gsp-S-protein adducts, we solved two crystal structures of GspA and GspSA both with the C59A mutation and bound with the substrate, Gsp. In both structures, Cys59, His131, and Glu147 form the catalytic triad, which is similar to other cysteine proteases. Comparison of the GspA_Gsp complex and apo GspSA structures indicates that on binding with Gsp, the side chains of Asn149 and Gln58 of the amidase domain are induced to move closer to the carbonyl oxygen of the cleaved amide bond of Gsp, thereby participating in catalysis. In addition, the helix-loop region of GspA, corresponding to the sequence (30)YSSLDPQEYEDDA(42), involves in regulating the substrate binding. Our previous study indicated that the thiol of Cys59 of GspA is only oxidized to sulfenic acid by H(2)O(2). When comparing the active site of GspA with those of other cysteine proteases, we found that limited space and hydrophobicity of the environment around Cys59 play an important role to inhibit its further oxidation. The structural results presented here not only elucidate the catalytic mechanism and regulation of GspA but also help us to design small molecules to inhibit or probe for the activity of GspA. 相似文献

The kinetic mechanism of pigeon liver fatty acid synthetase action has been studied using steady state kinetic analysis. Initial velocity studies are consistent with an earlier suggestion that the enzyme catalyzes this reaction by a seven-site ping-pong mechanism. Although the range of substrate concentrations that could be used was limited by several factors, the initial velocity patterns showing the relationship between the substrates acetyl coenzyme CoA, malonyl-CoA, and NADPH appear to be a series of parallel lines, regardless of which substrate is varied at fixed levels of a second substrate. However, two of the substrates, acetyl-CoA and malonly-CoA, apparently exhibit a competitive substrate inhibition with respect to each other, but NADPH shows no inhibition of any kind. Product inhibition patterns suggest that free CoA is competitive versus acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA and is uncompetitive versus NADPH, and that NADP+ is competitive versus NADPH and uncompetitive versus acetyl-CoA or malonyl-CoA. These results are consistent with a seven-site ping-pong mechanism with intermediates covalently bound to 4'-phosphopantetheine (part of acyl carrier protein). Double competitive substrate inhibition by acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA is consistent with the rate equation derived for the over-all mechanism. The kinetic mechanism developed from these results is capable of explaining the formation of fatty acids from malonyl-CoA and NADPH alone (Katiyar, S. S., Briedis, A. V., and Porter, J. W. (1974) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 162, 412-420) and also the formation of triacetic acid lactone from either malonyl-CoA alone or acetyl-CoA plus malonyl-CoA. 相似文献

Here we report three crystal structure complexes of human phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT), one bound with a substrate that incorporates a flexible ethanolamine side chain (p-octopamine), a second bound with a semirigid analogue substrate [cis-(1R,2S)-2-amino-1-tetralol, cis-(1R,2S)-AT], and a third with trans-(1S,2S)-2-amino-1-tetralol [trans-(1S,2S)-AT] that acts as an inhibitor of PNMT rather than a substrate. A water-mediated interaction between the critical beta-hydroxyl of the flexible ethanolamine group of p-octopamine and an acidic residue, Asp267, is likely to play a key role in positioning the side chain correctly for methylation to occur at the amine. A second interaction with Glu219 may play a lesser role. Catalysis likely occurs via deprotonation of the amine through the action of Glu185; mutation of this residue significantly reduced the kcat without affecting the Km. The mode of binding of cis-(1R,2S)-AT supports the notion that this substrate is a conformationally restrained analogue of flexible PNMT substrates, in that it forms interactions with the enzyme similar to those observed for p-octopamine. By contrast, trans-(1S,2S)-AT, an inhibitor rather than a substrate, binds in an orientation that is flipped by 180 degrees compared with cis-(1R,2S)-AT. A consequence of this flipped binding mode is that the interactions between the hydroxyl and Asp267 and Glu219 are lost. However, the amines of inhibitor trans-(1S,2S)-AT and substrate cis-(1R,2S)-AT are both within methyl transfer distance of the cofactor. These results suggest that PNMT catalyzes transfer of methyl to ligand amines only when "anchor" interactions, such as those identified for the beta-hydroxyls of p-octopamine and cis-AT, are present. 相似文献

BphD of Burkholderia xenovorans LB400 catalyzes an unusual C-C bond hydrolysis of 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoic acid (HOPDA) to afford benzoic acid and 2-hydroxy-2,4-pentadienoic acid (HPD). An enol-keto tautomerization has been proposed to precede hydrolysis via a gem-diol intermediate. The role of the canonical catalytic triad (Ser-112, His-265, Asp-237) in mediating these two half-reactions remains unclear. We previously reported that the BphD-catalyzed hydrolysis of HOPDA (lambda(max) is 434 nm for the free enolate) proceeds via an unidentified intermediate with a red-shifted absorption spectrum (lambda(max) is 492 nm) (Horsman, G. P., Ke, J., Dai, S., Seah, S. Y. K., Bolin, J. T., and Eltis, L. D. (2006) Biochemistry 45, 11071-11086). Here we demonstrate that the S112A variant generates and traps a similar intermediate (lambda(max) is 506 nm) with a similar rate, 1/tau approximately 500 s(-1). The crystal structure of the S112A:HOPDA complex at 1.8-A resolution identified this intermediate as the keto tautomer, (E)-2,6-dioxo-6-phenyl-hex-3-enoate. This keto tautomer did not accumulate in either the H265A or the S112A/H265A double variants, indicating that His-265 catalyzes tautomerization. Consistent with this role, the wild type and S112A enzymes catalyzed tautomerization of the product HPD, whereas H265A variants did not. This study thus identifies a keto intermediate, and demonstrates that the catalytic triad histidine catalyzes the tautomerization half-reaction, expanding the role of this residue from its purely hydrolytic function in other serine hydrolases. Finally, the S112A:HOPDA crystal structure is more consistent with hydrolysis occurring via an acyl-enzyme intermediate than a gem-diol intermediate as solvent molecules have poor access to C6, and the closest ordered water is 7 A away. 相似文献

The hotdog-fold enzyme 4-hydroxybenzoyl-coenzyme A (4-HB-CoA) thioesterase from Arthrobacter sp. strain AU catalyzes the hydrolysis of 4-HB-CoA to form 4-hydroxybenzoate (4-HB) and coenzyme A (CoA) in the final step of the 4-chlorobenzoate dehalogenation pathway. Guided by the published X-ray structures of the liganded enzyme (Thoden, J. B., Zhuang, Z., Dunaway-Mariano, D., and Holden H. M. (2003) J.Biol. Chem. 278, 43709-43716), a series of site-directed mutants were prepared for testing the roles of active site residues in substrate binding and catalysis. The mutant thioesterases were subjected to X-ray structure determination to confirm retention of the native fold, and in some cases, to reveal changes in the active site configuration. In parallel, the wild-type and mutant thioesterases were subjected to transient and steady-state kinetic analysis, and to (18)O-solvent labeling experiments. Evidence is provided that suggests that Glu73 functions in nucleophilic catalysis, that Gly65 and Gln58 contribute to transition-state stabilization via hydrogen bond formation with the thioester moiety and that Thr77 orients the water nucleophile for attack at the 4-hydroxybenzoyl carbon of the enzyme-anhydride intermediate. The replacement of Glu73 with Asp was shown to switch the function of the carboxylate residue from nucleophilic catalysis to base catalysis and thus, the reaction from a two-step process involving a covalent enzyme intermediate to a single-step hydrolysis reaction. The E73D/T77A double mutant regained most of the catalytic efficiency lost in the E73D single mutant. The results from (31)P NMR experiments indicate that the substrate nucleotide unit is bound to the enzyme surface. Kinetic analysis of site-directed mutants was carried out to determine the contributions made by Arg102, Arg150, Ser120, and Thr121 in binding the nucleotide unit. Lastly, we show by kinetic and X-ray analyses of Asp31, His64, and Glu78 site-directed mutants that these three active site residues are important for productive binding of the substrate 4-hydroxybenzoyl ring. 相似文献

Vaccinia topoisomerase forms a covalent protein-DNA intermediate at sites containing the sequence 5'-CCCTT. The T nucleotide is linked via a 3'-phosphodiester bond to Tyr-274 of the enzyme. Here, we report that the enzyme catalyzes hydrolysis of the covalent intermediate, resulting in formation of a 3'-phosphate-terminated DNA cleavage product. The hydrolysis reaction is pH-dependent (optimum pH = 9.5) and is slower, by a factor of 10(-5), than the rate of topoisomerase-catalyzed strand transfer to a 5'-OH terminated DNA acceptor strand. Mutants of vaccinia topoisomerase containing serine or threonine in lieu of the active site Tyr-274 form no detectable covalent intermediate and catalyze no detectable DNA hydrolysis. This suggests that hydrolysis occurs subsequent to formation of the covalent protein-DNA adduct and not via direct attack by water on DNA. Vaccinia topoisomerase also catalyzes glycerololysis of the covalent intermediate. The rate of glycerololysis is proportional to glycerol concentration and is optimal at pH 9.5. 相似文献

Type II hyperprolinemia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency in Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (P5CDH; also known as ALDH4A1), the aldehyde dehydrogenase that catalyzes the oxidation of glutamate semialdehyde to glutamate. Here, we report the first structure of human P5CDH (HsP5CDH) and investigate the impact of the hyperprolinemia-associated mutation of Ser352 to Leu on the structure and catalytic properties of the enzyme. The 2. 5-Å-resolution crystal structure of HsP5CDH was determined using experimental phasing. Structures of the mutant enzymes S352A (2.4 Å) and S352L (2.85 Å) were determined to elucidate the structural consequences of altering Ser352. Structures of the 93% identical mouse P5CDH complexed with sulfate ion (1.3 Å resolution), glutamate (1.5 Å), and NAD+ (1.5 Å) were determined to obtain high-resolution views of the active site. Together, the structures show that Ser352 occupies a hydrophilic pocket and is connected via water-mediated hydrogen bonds to catalytic Cys348. Mutation of Ser352 to Leu is shown to abolish catalytic activity and eliminate NAD+ binding. Analysis of the S352A mutant shows that these functional defects are caused by the introduction of the nonpolar Leu352 side chain rather than the removal of the Ser352 hydroxyl. The S352L structure shows that the mutation induces a dramatic 8-Å rearrangement of the catalytic loop. Because of this conformational change, Ser349 is not positioned to interact with the aldehyde substrate, conserved Glu447 is no longer poised to bind NAD+, and Cys348 faces the wrong direction for nucleophilic attack. These structural alterations render the enzyme inactive. 相似文献

Hydroxyisourate hydrolase is a recently discovered enzyme that participates in the ureide pathway in soybeans. Its role is to catalyze the hydrolysis of 5-hydroxyisourate, the product of the urate oxidase reaction. There is extensive sequence homology between hydroxyisourate hydrolase and retaining glycosidases; in particular, the conserved active site glutamate residues found in retaining glycosidases are present in hydroxyisourate hydrolase as Glu 199 and Glu 408. However, experimental investigation of their roles, as well as the catalytic mechanism of the enzyme, have been precluded by the instability of 5-hydroxyisourate. Here, we report that diaminouracil serves as a slow, alternative substrate and can be used to investigate catalysis by hydroxyisourate hydrolase. The activity of the E199A protein was reduced 400-fold relative to wild-type, and no activity could be detected with the E408A mutant. Steady-state kinetic studies of the wild-type protein revealed that the pH-dependence of V(max) and V/K describe bell-shaped curves, consistent with the hypothesis that catalysis requires two ionizable groups in opposite protonation states. Addition of 100 mM azide accelerated the reaction catalyzed by the wild-type enzyme 8-fold and the E199A mutant 20-fold but had no effect on the E408A mutant. These data suggest that Glu 408 acts as a nucleophile toward the substrate forming a covalent anhydride intermediate, and Glu 199 facilitates formation of the intermediate by serving as a general acid and then activates water for hydrolysis of the intermediate. Thus, the mechanism of hydroxyisourate hydrolase is strikingly similar to that of retaining glycosidases, even though it catalyzes hydrolysis of an amide bond. 相似文献

The 3-hydroxypropionate cycle is a new autotrophic CO(2) fixation pathway in Chloroflexus aurantiacus and some archaebacteria. The initial step is acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) carboxylation to malonyl-CoA by acetyl-CoA carboxylase, followed by NADPH-dependent reduction of malonyl-CoA to 3-hydroxypropionate. This reduction step was studied in Chloroflexus aurantiacus. A new enzyme was purified, malonyl-CoA reductase, which catalyzed the two-step reduction malonyl-CoA + NADPH + H(+) --> malonate semialdehyde + NADP(+) + CoA and malonate semialdehyde + NADPH + H(+) --> 3-hydroxypropionate + NADP(+). The bifunctional enzyme (aldehyde dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase) had a native molecular mass of 300 kDa and consisted of a single large subunit of 145 kDa, suggesting an alpha(2) composition. The N-terminal amino acid sequence was determined, and the incomplete gene was identified in the genome database. Obviously, the enzyme consists of an N-terminal short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase domain and a C-terminal aldehyde dehydrogenase domain. No indication of the presence of a prosthetic group was obtained; Mg(2+) and Fe(2+) stimulated and EDTA inhibited activity. The enzyme was highly specific for its substrates, with apparent K(m) values of 30 microM malonyl-CoA and 25 microM NADPH and a turnover number of 25 s(-1) subunit(-1). The specific activity in autotrophically grown cells was 0.08 micromol of malonyl-CoA reduced min(-1) (mg of protein)(-1), compared to 0.03 micromol min(-1) (mg of protein)(-1) in heterotrophically grown cells, indicating downregulation under heterotrophic conditions. Malonyl-CoA reductase is not required in any other known pathway and therefore can be taken as a characteristic enzyme of the 3-hydroxypropionate cycle. Furthermore, the enzyme may be useful for production of 3-hydroxypropionate and for a coupled spectrophotometric assay for activity screening of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, a target enzyme of potent herbicides. 相似文献

The complex iron-sulfur flavoprotein glutamate synthase (GltS) plays a prominent role in ammonia assimilation in bacteria, yeasts, and plants. GltS catalyzes the formation of two molecules of l-glutamate from 2-oxoglutarate and l-glutamine via intramolecular channeling of ammonia. GltS has the impressive ability of synchronizing its distinct catalytic centers to avoid wasteful consumption of l-glutamine. We have determined the crystal structure of the ferredoxin-dependent GltS in several ligation and redox states. The structures reveal the crucial elements in the synchronization between the glutaminase site and the 2-iminoglutarate reduction site. The structural data combined with the catalytic properties of GltS indicate that binding of ferredoxin and 2-oxoglutarate to the FMN-binding domain of GltS induce a conformational change in the loop connecting the two catalytic centers. The rearrangement induces a shift in the catalytic elements of the amidotransferase domain, such that it becomes activated. This machinery, over a distance of more than 30 A, controls the ability of the enzyme to bind and hydrolyze the ammonia-donating substrate l-glutamine. 相似文献

Bovine CD38/NAD+ glycohydrolase catalyzes the hydrolysis of NAD+ to nicotinamide and ADP-ribose and the formation of cyclic ADP-ribose via a stepwise reaction mechanism. Our recent crystallographic study of its Michaelis complex and covalently-trapped intermediates provided insights into the modalities of substrate binding and the molecular mechanism of bCD38. The aim of the present work was to determine the precise role of key conserved active site residues (Trp118, Glu138, Asp147, Trp181 and Glu218) by focusing mainly on the cleavage of the nicotinamide–ribosyl bond. We analyzed the kinetic parameters of mutants of these residues which reside within the bCD38 subdomain in the vicinity of the scissile bond of bound NAD+. To address the reaction mechanism we also performed chemical rescue experiments with neutral (methanol) and ionic (azide, formate) nucleophiles. The crucial role of Glu218, which orients the substrate for cleavage by interacting with the N-ribosyl 2′-OH group of NAD+, was highlighted. This contribution to catalysis accounts for almost half of the reaction energy barrier. Other contributions can be ascribed notably to Glu138 and Asp147 via ground-state destabilization and desolvation in the vicinity of the scissile bond. Key interactions with Trp118 and Trp181 were also proven to stabilize the ribooxocarbenium ion-like transition state. Altogether we propose that, as an alternative to a covalent acylal reaction intermediate with Glu218, catalysis by bCD38 proceeds through the formation of a discrete and transient ribooxocarbenium intermediate which is stabilized within the active site mostly by electrostatic interactions. 相似文献

Carnitine octanoyltransferase (COT), an enzyme that facilitates the transport of medium chain fatty acids through peroxisomal membranes, is inhibited by malonyl-CoA. cDNAs encoding full-length wild-type COT and one double mutant variant from rat peroxisomal COT were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Both expressed forms were expressed similarly in quantitative terms and exhibited full enzyme activity. The wild-type-expressed COT was inhibited by malonyl-CoA like the liver enzyme. The activity of the enzyme encoded by the double mutant H131A/H340A was completely insensitive to malonyl-CoA in the range assayed (2-200 microM). These results indicate that the two histidine residues, H131 and H340, are the sites responsible for inhibition by malonyl-CoA. Another mutant variant, H327A, abolishes the enzyme activity, from which it is concluded that it plays an important role in catalysis. 相似文献

Benzalacetone synthase (BAS) and chalcone synthase (CHS) are plant-specific type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) that share approximately 70% amino acid sequence identity. BAS catalyzes a one-step decarboxylative condensation of 4-coumaroyl-CoA with malonyl-CoA to produce a diketide benzalacetone, whereas CHS performs sequential condensations with three malonyl-CoA to generate a tetraketide chalcone. A homology model suggested that BAS has the same overall fold as CHS with cavity volume almost as large as that of CHS. One of the most characteristic features is that Rheum palmatum BAS lacks active site Phe-215; the residues 214LF conserved in type III PKSs are uniquely replaced by IL. Our observation that the BAS I214L/L215F mutant exhibited chalcone-forming activity in a pH-dependent manner supported a hypothesis that the absence of Phe-215 in BAS accounts for the interruption of the polyketide chain elongation at the diketide stage. On the other hand, Phe-215 mutants of Scutellaria baicalensis CHS (L214I/F215L, F215W, F215Y, F215S, F215A, F215H, and F215C) afforded increased levels of truncated products; however, none of them generated benzalacetone. These results confirmed the critical role of Phe-215 in the polyketide formation reactions and provided structural basis for understanding the structure-function relationship of the plant type III PKSs. 相似文献

Carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) I, which catalyzes the conversion of palmitoyl-CoA to palmitoylcarnitine facilitating its transport through the mitochondrial membranes, is inhibited by malonyl-CoA. By using the SequenceSpace algorithm program to identify amino acids that participate in malonyl-CoA inhibition in all carnitine acyltransferases, we found 5 conserved amino acids (Thr(314), Asn(464), Ala(478), Met(593), and Cys(608), rat liver CPT I coordinates) common to inhibitable malonyl-CoA acyltransferases (carnitine octanoyltransferase and CPT I), and absent in noninhibitable malonyl-CoA acyltransferases (CPT II, carnitine acetyltransferase (CAT) and choline acetyltransferase (ChAT)). To determine the role of these amino acid residues in malonyl-CoA inhibition, we prepared the quintuple mutant CPT I T314S/N464D/A478G/M593S/C608A as well as five single mutants CPT I T314S, N464D, A478G, M593S, and C608A. In each case the CPT I amino acid selected was mutated to that present in the same homologous position in CPT II, CAT, and ChAT. Because mutant M593S nearly abolished the sensitivity to malonyl-CoA, two other Met(593) mutants were prepared: M593A and M593E. The catalytic efficiency (V(max)/K(m)) of CPT I in mutants A478G and C608A and all Met(593) mutants toward carnitine as substrate was clearly increased. In those CPT I proteins in which Met(593) had been mutated, the malonyl-CoA sensitivity was nearly abolished. Mutations in Ala(478), Cys(608), and Thr(314) to their homologous amino acid residues in CPT II, CAT, and ChAT caused various decreases in malonyl-CoA sensitivity. Ala(478) is located in the structural model of CPT I near the catalytic site and participates in the binding of malonyl-CoA in the low affinity site (Morillas, M., Gómez-Puertas, P., Rubi, B., Clotet, J., Ari?o, J., Valencia, A., Hegardt, F. G., Serra, D., and Asins, G. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 11473-11480). Met(593) may participate in the interaction of malonyl-CoA in the second affinity site, whose location has not been reported. 相似文献

The phosphodiesterase from snake venom catalyzes the hydrolysis of the Rp diastereomer of thymidine 5'-(4-nitrophenyl [17O,18O]phosphate) in H216O with retention of configuration at phosphorus. This result is in agreement with those previously reported for the hydrolysis of chiral phosphorothioate substrates (Bryant, F. R., and Benkovic, S. J. (1979) Biochemistry 18, 2825-2828; Burgers, P. M. J., Eckstein, F., and Hunneman, D. H. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 7476-7478). The hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by this enzyme occurs via formation of a covalent nucleotidylated enzyme intermediate. 相似文献
