Glutamate mutase (Glm) is an adenosylcobamide-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible rearrangement of (2S)-glutamate to (2S, 3S)-3-methylaspartate. The active enzyme from Clostridium cochlearium consists of two subunits (of 53.6 and 14.8 kDa) as an alpha2beta2 tetramer, whose assembly is mediated by coenzyme B12. The smaller of the protein components, GlmS, has been suggested to be the B12-binding subunit. Here we report the solution structure of GlmS, determined from a heteronuclear NMR-study, and the analysis of important dynamical aspects of this apoenzyme subunit. The global fold and dynamic behavior of GlmS in solution are similar to those of the corresponding subunit MutS from C. tetanomorphum, which has previously been investigated using NMR-spectroscopy. Both solution structures of the two Glm B12-binding subunits share striking similarities with that determined by crystallography for the B12-binding domain of methylmalonyl CoA mutase (Mcm) from Propionibacterium shermanii, which is B12 bound. In the crystal structure a conserved histidine residue was found to be coordinated to cobalt, displacing the endogenous axial ligand of the cobamide. However, in GlmS and MutS the sequence motif, Asp-x-His-x-x-Gly, which includes the cobalt-coordinating histidine residue, and a predicted alpha-helical region following the motif, are present as an unstructured and highly mobile loop. In the absence of coenzyme, the B12-binding site apparently is only partially formed. By comparing the crystal structure of Mcm with the solution structures of B12-free GlmS and MutS, a consistent picture on the mechanism of B12 binding has been obtained. Important elements of the binding site only become structured upon binding B12; these include the cobalt-coordinating histidine residue, and an alpha helix that forms one side of the cleft accommodating the nucleotide 'tail' of the coenzyme. 相似文献

The recent structures of cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase have revealed a striking conformational change that accompanies cofactor binding to these proteins. Alkylcobalamins have octahedral geometry in solution at physiological pH, and the lower axial coordination position is occupied by the nucleotide, dimethylbenzimidazole ribose phosphate, that is attached to one of the pyrrole rings of the corrin macrocycle via an aminopropanol moiety. In contrast, in the active sites of these two B12-dependent enzymes, the nucleotide tail is held in an extended conformation in which the base is far removed from the cobalt in cobalamin. Instead, a histidine residue donated by the protein replaces the displaced intramolecular base. This unexpected mode of cofactor binding in a subgroup of B12-dependent enzymes has raised the question of what role the nucleotide loop plays in cofactor binding and catalysis. To address this question, we have synthesized and characterized two truncated cofactor analogues: adenosylcobinamide and adenosylcobinamide phosphate methyl ester, lacking the nucleotide and nucleoside moieties, respectively. Our studies reveal that the nucleotide tail has a modest effect on the strength of cofactor binding, contributing approximately 1 kcal/mol to binding. In contrast, the nucleotide has a profound influence on organizing the active site for catalysis, as evidenced by the retention of the base-off conformation in the truncated cofactor analogues bound to the mutase and by their inability to support catalysis. Characterization of the kinetics of adenosylcobalamin (AdoCbl) binding by stopped-flow fluorescence spectroscopy reveals a pH-sensitive step that titrates to a pKa of 7.32 +/- 0.19 that is significantly different from the pKa of 3.7 for dimethylbenzimidazole in free AdoCbl. In contrast, the truncated cofactors associate very rapidly with the enzyme at rates that are too fast to measure. Based on these observations, we propose a model in which the base-on to base-off conformational change is slow and is assisted by the enzyme, and is followed by a rapid docking of the cofactor in the active site. 相似文献

Effect of nucleotide containing corrinoids on vitamin B 12 synthesis in Propionibacterium shermanii]
V Y Bykhovsky N I Zaitseva B D Gruzina Z A Malyarova G M Ponomaryova A N Yavorskaya 《Prikladnaia biokhimiia i mikrobiologiia》1975,11(2):179-184
The influence of B12-CN, B12-OH, coenzyme B12, factor III and factor B on the synthesis of vitamin B12 and porphyrins by different strains of P. shermanii was investigated. Neither compound inhibited the development of propionic bacteria or suppressed porphyrin formation. All nucleotide containing analogues of vitamin B12 produced a strong repressive effect on the synthesis of corrinoid compounds regardless of the modifications in the upper and lower cobalt ligands. Factor B containing no nucleotide moiety did not show this effect. It is suggested that the nucleotide moiety of the vitamin B12 molecule is responsible for the binding of vitamin to protein aporepressor. 相似文献

The crystal structure of glutamate mutase with bound coenzyme B(12) suggests a radical shuttling mechanism within the active site of the enzyme. Quantum chemical calculations of the rearrangement in combination with kinetic and mutational studies suggest the catalytic mechanism of this enzyme to proceed via a fragmentation/recombination sequence with intermediates stabilized by partial protonation/deprotonation. Crucial residues in the active site have been identified. Solution structure studies indicate the mechanism of B(12) binding to the apoenzyme. 相似文献

Isobutyryl-CoA mutase (ICM) catalyzes the reversible, coenzyme B(12)-dependent rearrangement of isobutyryl-CoA to n-butyryl-CoA, which is similar to, but distinct from, that catalyzed by methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. ICM has been detected so far in a variety of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, where it appears to play a key role in valine and fatty acid catabolism. ICM from Streptomyces cinnamonensis is composed of a large subunit (IcmA) of 62.5 kDa and a small subunit (IcmB) of 14.3 kDa. icmB encodes a protein of 136 residues with high sequence similarity to the cobalamin-binding domains of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, glutamate mutase, methyleneglutarate mutase, and cobalamin-dependent methionine synthase, including a conserved DXHXXG cobalamin-binding motif. Using IcmA and IcmB produced separately in Escherichia coli, we show that IcmB is necessary and sufficient with IcmA and coenzyme B(12) to afford the active ICM holoenzyme. The large subunit (IcmA) forms a tightly associated homodimer, whereas IcmB alone exists as a monomer. In the absence of coenzyme B(12), the association between IcmA and IcmB is weak. The ICM holoenzyme appears to comprise an alpha(2)beta(2)-heterotetramer with up to two molecules of bound coenzyme B(12). The equilibrium constant for the ICM reaction at 30 degrees C is 1.7 in favor of isobutyryl-CoA, and the pH optimum is near 7.4. The K(m) values for isobutyryl-CoA, n-butyryl-CoA, and coenzyme B(12) determined with an equimolar ratio of IcmA and IcmB are 57 +/- 13, 54 +/- 12, and 12 +/- 2 microM, respectively. A V(max) of 38 +/- 3 units/mg IcmA and a k(cat) of 39 +/- 3 s(-1) were determined under saturating molar ratios of IcmB to IcmA. 相似文献

Coenzyme B(12)-dependent acyl-CoA mutases are radical enzymes catalyzing reversible carbon skeleton rearrangements in carboxylic acids. Here, we describe 2-hydroxyisobutyryl-CoA mutase (HCM) found in the bacterium Aquincola tertiaricarbonis as a novel member of the mutase family. HCM specifically catalyzes the interconversion of 2-hydroxyisobutyryl- and (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA. Like isobutyryl-CoA mutase, HCM consists of a large substrate- and a small B(12)-binding subunit, HcmA and HcmB, respectively. However, it is thus far the only acyl-CoA mutase showing substrate specificity for hydroxylated carboxylic acids. Complete loss of 2-hydroxyisobutyric acid degradation capacity in hcmA and hcmB knock-out mutants established the central role of HCM in A. tertiaricarbonis for degrading substrates bearing a tert-butyl moiety, such as the fuel oxygenate methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and its metabolites. Sequence analysis revealed several HCM-like enzymes in other bacterial strains not related to MTBE degradation, indicating that HCM may also be involved in other pathways. In all strains, hcmA and hcmB are associated with genes encoding for a putative acyl-CoA synthetase and a MeaB-like chaperone. Activity and substrate specificity of wild-type enzyme and active site mutants HcmA I90V, I90F, and I90Y clearly demonstrated that HCM belongs to a new subfamily of B(12)-dependent acyl-CoA mutases. 相似文献

Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase is a member of the family of coenzyme B(12)-dependent isomerases and catalyzes the 1,2-rearrangement of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA. A common first step in the reactions catalyzed by coenzyme B(12)-dependent enzymes is cleavage of the cobalt-carbon bond of the cofactor, leading to radical-based rearrangement reactions. Comparison of the homolysis rate for the free and enzyme-bound cofactors reveals an enormous rate enhancement which is on the order of a trillion-fold. To address how this large rate acceleration is achieved, we have examined the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters associated with the homolysis reaction catalyzed by methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. Both the rate and the amount of cob(II)alamin formation have been analyzed as a function of temperature with the protiated substrate. These studies yield the following activation parameters for the homolytic reaction at 37 degrees C: DeltaH(f)() = 18.8 +/- 0.8 kcal/mol, DeltaS(f)() = 18.2 +/- 0.8 cal/(mol.K), and DeltaG(f)() = 13.1 +/- 0.6 kcal/mol. Our results reveal that the enzyme lowers the transition state barrier by 17 kcal/mol, corresponding to a rate acceleration of 0.9 x 10(12)-fold. Both entropic and enthalpic factors contribute to the observed rate acceleration, with the latter predominating. The substrate binding step is exothermic, with a DeltaG of -5.2 kcal/mol at 37 degrees C, and is favored by both entropic and enthalpic factors. We have employed the available kinetic and spectroscopic data to construct a qualitative free energy profile for the methylmalonyl-CoA mutase-catalyzed reaction. 相似文献

The roles of the D-ribosyl moiety and the bulky axial ligand of the nucleotide loop of adenosylcobalamin in coenzymic function have been investigated using two series of coenzyme analogs bearing various artificial bases. The 2-methylbenzimidazolyl trimethylene analog that exists exclusively in the base-off form was a totally inactive coenzyme for diol dehydratase and served as a competitive inhibitor. The benzimidazolyl trimethylene analog and the benzimidazolylcobamide coenzyme were highly active for diol dehydratase and ethanolamine ammonia-lyase. The imidazolylcobamide coenzyme was 59 and 9% as active as the normal coenzyme for diol dehydratase and ethanolamine ammonia-lyase, respectively. The latter analog served as an effective suicide coenzyme for both enzymes, although the partition ratio (k(cat)/k(inact)) of 630 for ethanolamine ammonia-lyase is much lower than that for diol dehydratase. Suicide inactivation was accompanied by the accumulation of a cob(II)amide species, indicating irreversible cleavage of the coenzyme Co-C bond during the inactivation. It was thus concluded that the bulkiness of a Co-coordinating base of the nucleotide loop is essential for both the initial activity and continuous catalytic turnovers. Since the k(cat)/k(inact) value for the imidazolylcobamide in diol dehydratase was 27-times higher than that for the imidazolyl trimethylene analog, it is clear that the ribosyl moiety protects the reaction intermediates from suicide inactivation. Stopped-flow measurements indicated that the rate of Co-C bond homolysis is essentially unaffected by the bulkiness of the Co-coordinating base for diol dehydratase. Thus, it seems unlikely that the Co-C bond is labilized through a ground state mechanochemical triggering mechanism in diol dehydratase. 相似文献

Ethanolamine ammonia-lyase (EAL, EC 4.3.1.7) catalyzes a coenzyme B(12)-dependent deamination of vicinal amino alcohols. The mode of binding of coenzyme B(12) to EAL has been investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) using [(15)N]-dimethylbenzimidazole-coenzyme B(12). EAL was incubated with either unlabeled or (15)N-enriched coenzyme B(12) and then either exposed to light or treated with ethanol to generate the cleaved form of the cofactor, cob(II)alamin (B(12r)) bound in the active site. The reaction mixtures were examined by EPR spectroscopy at 77 K. (15)N superhyperfine splitting in the EPR signals of the low-spin Co(2+) of B(12r), bound in the active site of EAL, indicates that the dimethylbenzimidazole moiety of the cofactor contributes the lower axial ligand consistent with "base-on" binding of coenzyme B(12) to EAL. 相似文献

The photosynthetic coccolithophoid alga, Pleurochrysis (Hymenomonas) carterae, could take up and accumulate exogenous vitamin B12, most of which was converted into the coenzyme forms of vitamin B12. Two vitamin B12-dependent enzyme activities (methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, 2.6+/-0.4 nmol/min/mg protein and methionine synthase, 85.1+/-38.9 pmol/min/mg protein) could be found in a cell homogenate of the vitamin B12-supplemented alga. Most of the methylmalonyl-CoA mutase activity and 19.2% of the vitamin B12 accumulated by the algal cells were recovered in the macromolecular fractions with Mr of 150 kDa, although the remaining vitamin B12 was found only in free vitamin B12 fractions. 相似文献

The MutS1 protein recognizes unpaired bases and initiates mismatch repair, which are essential for high-fidelity DNA replication. The homologous MutS2 protein does not contribute to mismatch repair, but suppresses homologous recombination. MutS2 lacks the damage-recognition domain of MutS1, but contains an additional C-terminal extension: the small MutS-related (Smr) domain. This domain, which is present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, has previously been reported to bind to DNA and to possess nicking endonuclease activity. We determine here the solution structure of the functionally active Smr domain of the Bcl3-binding protein (also known as Nedd4-binding protein 2), a protein with unknown function that lacks other domains present in MutS proteins. The Smr domain adopts a two-layer α-β sandwich fold, which has a structural similarity to the C-terminal domain of IF3, the R3H domain, and the N-terminal domain of DNase I. The most conserved residues are located in three loops that form a contiguous, exposed, and positively charged surface with distinct sequence identity for prokaryotic and eukaryotic Smr domains. NMR titration experiments and DNA binding studies using Bcl3-binding protein-Smr domain mutants suggested that these most conserved loop regions participate in DNA binding to single-stranded/double-stranded DNA junctions. Based on the observed DNA-binding-induced multimerization, the structural similarity with both subdomains of DNase I, and the experimentally identified DNA-binding surface, we propose a model for DNA recognition by the Smr domain. 相似文献

Synthesis of poly(A)-binding protein is regulated at the translational level. We have investigated the binding of proteins to this mRNA on the premise that the protein(s) of the mRNP complex may be involved in regulating the expression of the mRNA. We found the first 243 nucleotides of the 5' untranslated region to contain sequences essential for RNP formation. A large, single-stranded bulge structure encompassing stretches rich in adenine nucleotides and a potential stem-loop domain appear to be the primary sites for protein binding. Removal of the 243-nucleotide segment results in a drastic reduction in protein binding and a concomitant increase in translational efficiency in vitro. We suggest that proteins binding to this region, including poly(A)-binding protein itself, may be essential for regulating translation of this mRNA. 相似文献

Methylmalonate metabolism was investigated in fibroblasts and leukocytes of two unrelated patient with a B12-nonresponsive type of congenital methylmalonic acidemia. Intact fibroblasts from both patients showed a defective metabolism of methyl-14 c-malonate to 14CO2, whereas no such defect was found in their intact peripheral leukocytes. In disrupted fibroblasts, the conversion of methylmalonyl coenzyme A to succinyl coenzyme A was markedly reduced but was completely normalized by the addition of 5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin (AdoCb1; 10(-5) mol/l), the specific coenzyme of methylmalonyl coenzyme A mutase. Assays with decreasing concentrations of AdoCbl (10(-5)-10(-11) mol/l) suggested a reduced affinity of the mutase apoenzyme for its coenzyme, implicating yet another variant of this heterogeneous disease. 相似文献

Adenosylcobalamin (coenzyme B12)-dependent glutamate mutase catalyzes a most unusual carbon skeleton rearrangement involving the isomerization of l-glutamate to L-threo-methylaspartate, a reaction that is without precedent in organic chemistry. This reaction proceeds through a mechanism involving free radical intermediates that are initiated by homolysis of the cobalt-carbon bond of the coenzyme. The enzyme serves as a paradigm for adenosylcobalamin-dependent catalysis and, more generally, provides insights into how enzymes generate and control reactive free radical species. This review describes how recent studies on the mechanism and structure of glutamate mutase have contributed to our understanding of adenosylcobalamin-mediated catalysis.

Ethylmalonyl-CoA mutase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides defines a new subclade of coenzyme B12-dependent acyl-CoA mutases 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Coenzyme B(12)-dependent mutases are radical enzymes that catalyze reversible carbon skeleton rearrangement reactions. Here we describe Rhodobacter sphaeroides ethylmalonyl-CoA mutase (Ecm), a novel member of the family of coenzyme B(12)-dependent acyl-CoA mutases, that operates in the recently discovered ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway for acetate assimilation. Ecm is involved in the central reaction sequence of this novel pathway and catalyzes the transformation of ethylmalonyl-CoA to methylsuccinyl-CoA in combination with a second enzyme that was further identified as promiscuous ethylmalonyl-CoA/methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase. In contrast to the epimerase, Ecm is highly specific for its substrate, ethylmalonyl-CoA, and accepts methylmalonyl-CoA only at 0.2% relative activity. Sequence analysis revealed that Ecm is distinct from (2R)-methylmalonyl-CoA mutase as well as isobutyryl-CoA mutase and defines a new subfamily of coenzyme B(12)-dependent acyl-CoA mutases. In combination with molecular modeling, two signature sequences were identified that presumably contribute to the substrate specificity of these enzymes. 相似文献

Coenzyme B(12)-dependent 2-methyleneglutarate mutase from the strict anaerobe Eubacterium barkeri catalyzes the equilibration of 2-methyleneglutarate with (R)-3-methylitaconate. Proteins with mutations in the highly conserved coenzyme binding-motif DXH(X)(2)G(X)(41)GG (D483N and H485Q) exhibited decreased substrate turnover by 2000-fold and >4000-fold, respectively. These findings are consistent with the notion of H485 hydrogen-bonded to D483 being the lower axial ligand of adenosylcobalamin in 2-methyleneglutarate mutase. (E)- and (Z)-2-methylpent-2-enedioate and all four stereoisomers of 1-methylcyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylate were synthesized and tested, along with acrylate, with respect to their inhibitory potential. Acrylate and the 2-methylpent-2-enedioates were noninhibitory. Among the 1-methylcyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylates only the (1R,2R)-isomer displayed weak inhibition (noncompetitive, K(i) = 13 mM). Short incubation (5 min) of 2-methyleneglutarate mutase with 2-methyleneglutarate under anaerobic conditions generated an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signal (g(xy) approximately 2.1; g(z) approximately 2.0), which by analogy with the findings on glutamate mutase from Clostridium cochlearium [Biochemistry, 1998, 37, 4105-4113] was assigned to cob(II)alamin coupled to a carbon-centered radical. At longer incubation times (>1 h), inactivation of the mutase occurred concomitant with the formation of oxygen-insensitive cob(II)alamin (g(xy) approximately 2.25; g(z) approximately 2.0). In order to identify the carbon-centered radical, various (13)C- and one (2)H-labeled substrate/product molecules were synthesized. Broadening (0.5 mT) of the EPR signal around g = 2.1 was observed only when C2 and/or C4 of 2-methyleneglutarate was labeled. No effect on the EPR signals was seen when [5'-(13)C]adenosylcobalamin was used as coenzyme. The inhibition and EPR data are discussed in the context of the addition-elimination and fragmentation-recombination mechanisms proposed for 2-methyleneglutarate mutase. 相似文献

Studies on the coenzyme activity of some nucleotide base analogues of adenosylcobalamine in the dioldehydratase and methyl-malonyl-CoA mutase systems resulted in fundamental differences: Contrary to dioldehydratase the coenzyme activity remains in the methyl-malonyl-CoA mutase system when adenosyl-cobamides with a strongly modified nucleotide base are studied. The analogues give a good growth response with Escherichia coli. In the growth test with Lactobacillus leichmanii only the cobamides that do not have substituted nucleotide bases in the positions 2 or 3 of their imidazole ring are active. 相似文献

The Bacillus methanolicus methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) is a decameric nicotinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenase (family III) with one Zn(2+) ion, one or two Mg(2+) ions, and a tightly bound cofactor NAD(H) per subunit. The Mg(2+) ions are essential for binding of cofactor NAD(H) in MDH. A B. methanolicus activator protein strongly stimulates the relatively low coenzyme NAD(+)-dependent MDH activity, involving hydrolytic removal of the NMN(H) moiety of cofactor NAD(H) (Kloosterman, H., Vrijbloed, J. W., and Dijkhuizen, L. (2002) J. Biol. Chem. 277, 34785-34792). Members of family III of NAD(P)-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases contain three unique, conserved sequence motifs (domains A, B, and C). Domain C is thought to be involved in metal binding, whereas the functions of domains A and B are still unknown. This paper provides evidence that domain A constitutes (part of) a new magnesium-dependent NAD(P)(H)-binding domain. Site-directed mutants D100N and K103R lacked (most of the) bound cofactor NAD(H) and had lost all coenzyme NAD(+)-dependent MDH activity. Also mutants G95A and S97G were both impaired in cofactor NAD(H) binding but retained coenzyme NAD(+)-dependent MDH activity. Mutant G95A displayed a rather low MDH activity, whereas mutant S97G was insensitive to activator protein but displayed "fully activated" MDH reaction rates. The various roles of these amino acid residues in coenzyme and/or cofactor NAD(H) binding in MDH are discussed. 相似文献

Adenosylcobalamin or coenzyme B(12)-dependent enzymes are members of the still relatively small group of radical enzymes and catalyse 1,2-rearrangement reactions. A member of this family is methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, which catalyses the isomerization of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA and, unlike the others, is present in both bacteria and animals. Enzymes that catalyse some of the most chemically challenging reactions are the ones that tend to deploy radical chemistry. The use of radical intermediates in an active site lined with amino acid side chains that threaten to extinguish the reaction by presenting alternative groups for abstraction poses the conundrum of how the enzymes control their reactivity. In this review, insights into this issue that have emerged from kinetic, mutagenesis and structural studies are described for methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. 相似文献
