Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase A (RpiA; EC 5.3.1.6) interconverts ribose-5-phosphate and ribulose-5-phosphate. This enzyme plays essential roles in carbohydrate anabolism and catabolism; it is ubiquitous and highly conserved. The structure of RpiA from Escherichia coli was solved by multiwavelength anomalous diffraction (MAD) phasing, and refined to 1.5 A resolution (R factor 22.4%, R(free) 23.7%). RpiA exhibits an alpha/beta/(alpha/beta)/beta/alpha fold, some portions of which are similar to proteins of the alcohol dehydrogenase family. The two subunits of the dimer in the asymmetric unit have different conformations, representing the opening/closing of a cleft. Active site residues were identified in the cleft using sequence conservation, as well as the structure of a complex with the inhibitor arabinose-5-phosphate at 1.25 A resolution. A mechanism for acid-base catalysis is proposed. 相似文献

Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI; E.C. 5.3.1.9) catalyzes the second step in glycolysis, the interconversion of D-glucose-6-phosphate and D-fructose-6-phosphate. We determined the X-ray crystal structure of rabbit PGI complexed with a competitive inhibitor of isomerase activity, 5-phospho-D-arabinonate (5PAA), at 1.9 A resolution. 5PAA is a better mimic of the proposed cis-enediol(ate) intermediate than 6-phospho-D-gluconate, which was used in a previously reported crystal structure of rabbit PGI. The orientation of 5PAA bound in the enzyme active site predicts that active site residue Glu357 is the residue that transfers a proton between C2 and C1 of the proposed cis-enediol(ate) intermediate. Amino acid residues Arg272 and Lys210 are predicted to be involved in stabilizing the negative charge of the intermediate. 相似文献

Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase A has an important role in sugar metabolism by interconverting ribose-5-phosphate and ribulose-5-phosphate. This enzyme is ubiquitous and highly conserved among the three kingdoms of life. We have solved the 2.1 A resolution crystal structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae enzyme by molecular replacement. This protein adopts the same fold as its archaeal and bacterial orthologs with two alpha/beta domains tightly packed together. Mapping of conserved residues at the surface of the protein reveals strong invariability of the active site pocket, suggesting a common ligand binding mode and a similar catalytic mechanism. The yeast enzyme associates as a homotetramer similarly to the archaeal protein. The effect of an inactivating mutation (Arg189 to Lys) is discussed in view of the information brought by this structure. 相似文献

Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase (Rpi) acts as a key enzyme in the oxidative and reductive pentose-phosphate pathways for the conversion of ribose-5-phosphate (R5P) to ribulose-5-phosphate and vice versa. We have determined the crystal structures of Rpi from Thermus thermophilus HB8 in complex with the open chain form of the substrate R5P and the open chain form of the C2 epimeric inhibitor arabinose-5-phosphate as well as the apo form at high resolution. The crystal structures of both complexes revealed that these ring-opened epimers are bound in the active site in a mirror symmetry binding mode. The O1 atoms are stabilized by an oxyanion hole composed of the backbone amide nitrogens in the conserved motif. In the structure of the Rpi.R5P complex, the conversion moiety O1-C1-C2-O2 in cis-configuration interacts with the carboxyl oxygens of Glu-108 in a water-excluded environment. Furthermore, the C2 hydroxyl group is presumed to be highly polarized by short hydrogen bonding with the side chain of Lys-99. R5P bound as the ring-opened reaction intermediate clarified the high stereoselectivity of the catalysis and is consistent with an aldose-ketose conversion by Rpi that proceeds via a cis-enediolate intermediate. 相似文献

Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is the biologically active form of vitamin B6 and is an important cofactor for several of the enzymes involved in the metabolism of amine-containing natural products such as amino acids and amino sugars. The PLP synthase holoenzyme consists of two subunits: YaaD catalyzes the condensation of ribulose 5-phosphate, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, and ammonia, and YaaE catalyzes the production of ammonia from glutamine. Here we describe the structure of the PLP synthase complex (YaaD-YaaE) from Thermotoga maritima at 2.9 A resolution. This complex consists of a core of 12 YaaD monomers with 12 noninteracting YaaE monomers attached to the core. Compared with the previously published structure of PdxS (a YaaD ortholog in Geobacillus stearothermophilus), the N-terminus (1-18), which includes helix alpha0, the beta2-alpha2 loop (46-56), which includes new helix alpha2a, and the C-terminus (270-280) of YaaD are ordered in the complex but disordered in PdxS. A ribulose 5-phosphate is bound to YaaD via an imine with Lys82. Previous studies have demonstrated a similar imine at Lys149 and not at Lys81 (equivalent to Lys150 and Lys82 in T. maritima) for the Bacillus subtilis enzyme suggesting the possibility that two separate sites on YaaD are involved in PLP formation. A phosphate from the crystallization solution is found bound to YaaD and also serves as a marker for a possible second active site. An ammonia channel that connects the active site of YaaE with the ribulose 5-phosphate binding site was identified. This channel is similar to one found in imidazole glycerol phosphate synthase; however, when the beta-barrels of the two complexes are superimposed, the glutaminase domains are rotated by about 180 degrees with respect to each other. 相似文献

The crystal structure of D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (PfGAPDH) from the major malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is solved at 2.25 A resolution. The structure of PfGAPDH is of interest due to the dependence of the malaria parasite in infected human erythrocytes on the glycolytic pathway for its energy generation. Recent evidence suggests that PfGAPDH may also be required for other critical activities such as apical complex formation. The cofactor NAD(+) is bound to all four subunits of the tetrameric enzyme displaying excellent electron densities. In addition, in all four subunits a completely unexpected large island of extra electron density in the active site is observed, approaching closely the nicotinamide ribose of the NAD(+). This density is most likely the protease inhibitor AEBSF, found in maps from two different crystals. This putative AEBSF molecule is positioned in a crucial location and hence our structure, with expected and unexpected ligands bound, can be of assistance in lead development and design of novel antimalarials. 相似文献

Cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) is a calcium messenger that can mobilize intracellular Ca2+ stores and activate Ca2+ influx to regulate a wide range of physiological processes. Aplysia cyclase is the first member of the ADP-ribosyl cyclases identified to catalyze the cyclization of NAD+ into cADPR. The catalysis involves a two-step reaction, the elimination of the nicotinamide ring and the cyclization of the intermediate resulting in the covalent attachment of the purine ring to the terminal ribose. Aplysia cyclase exhibits a high degree of leniency towards the purine base of its substrate, and the cyclization reaction takes place at either the N1- or the N7-position of the purine ring. To decipher the mechanism of cyclization in Aplysia cyclase, we used a crystallization setup with multiple Aplysia cyclase molecules present in the asymmetric unit. With the use of natural substrates and analogs, not only were we able to capture multiple snapshots during enzyme catalysis resulting in either N1 or N7 linkage of the purine ring to the terminal ribose, we were also able to observe, for the first time, the cyclized products of both N1 and N7 cyclization bound in the active site of Aplysia cyclase. 相似文献

Glucose is catabolized in yeast via two fundamental routes, glycolysis and the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway, which produces NADPH and the essential nucleotide component ribose-5-phosphate. Here, we describe riboneogenesis, a thermodynamically driven pathway that converts glycolytic intermediates into ribose-5-phosphate without production of NADPH. Riboneogenesis begins with synthesis, by the combined action of transketolase and aldolase, of the seven-carbon bisphosphorylated sugar sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphate. In the pathway's committed step, sedoheptulose bisphosphate is hydrolyzed to sedoheptulose-7-phosphate by the enzyme sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SHB17), whose activity we identified based on metabolomic analysis of the corresponding knockout strain. The crystal structure of Shb17 in complex with sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphate reveals that the substrate binds in the closed furan form in the active site. Sedoheptulose-7-phosphate is ultimately converted by known enzymes of the nonoxidative pentose phosphate pathway to ribose-5-phosphate. Flux through SHB17 increases when ribose demand is high relative to demand for NADPH, including during ribosome biogenesis in metabolically synchronized yeast cells. 相似文献

Escherichia coli pyridoxine 5'-phosphate oxidase catalyzes the terminal step in the biosynthesis of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate by the FMN oxidation of pyridoxine 5'-phosphate forming FMNH(2) and H(2)O(2). Recent studies have shown that in addition to the active site, pyridoxine 5'-phosphate oxidase contains a non-catalytic site that binds pyridoxal 5'-phosphate tightly. The crystal structure of pyridoxine 5'-phosphate oxidase from E. coli with one or two molecules of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate bound to each monomer has been determined to 2.0 A resolution. One of the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate molecules is clearly bound at the active site with the aldehyde at C4' of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate near N5 of the bound FMN. A protein conformational change has occurred that partially closes the active site. The orientation of the bound pyridoxal 5'-phosphate suggests that the enzyme catalyzes a hydride ion transfer between C4' of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and N5 of FMN. When the crystals are soaked with excess pyridoxal 5'-phosphate an additional molecule of this cofactor is also bound about 11 A from the active site. A possible tunnel exists between the two sites so that pyridoxal 5'-phosphate formed at the active site may transfer to the non-catalytic site without passing though the solvent. 相似文献

The structure of a bifunctional 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase from Escherichia coli has been determined at 2.5 A resolution in the absence of bound substrates and compared to the NADP-bound structure of the homologous enzyme domains from a trifunctional human synthetase enzyme. Superposition of these structures allows the identification of a highly conserved cluster of basic residues that are appropriately positioned to serve as a binding site for the poly-gamma-glutamyl tail of the tetrahydrofolate substrate. Modeling studies and molecular dynamic simulations of bound methylene-tetrahydrofolate and NADP shows that this binding site would allow interaction of the nicotinamide and pterin rings in the dehydrogenase active site. Comparison of these enzymes also indicates differences between their active sites that might allow the development of inhibitors specific to the bacterial target. 相似文献

In the course of a structural genomics program aiming at solving the structures of Escherichia coli open reading frame (ORF) products of unknown function, we have determined the structure of YqhD at 2.0A resolution using the single wavelength anomalous diffraction method at the Pt edge. The crystal structure of YqhD reveals that it is an NADP-dependent dehydrogenase, a result confirmed by activity measurements with several alcohols. The current interpretation of our findings is that YqhD is an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) with preference for alcohols longer than C(3). YqhD is a dimer of 2x387 residues, each monomer being composed of two domains, a Rossmann-type fold and an alpha-helical domain. The crystals contain two dimers in the asymmetric unit. While one of the dimers contains a cofactor in both subunits, only one of the subunits in the second dimer contains it, making it possible to compare bound and unbound active sites. The active site contains a Zn atom, as verified by EXAFS on the crystals. The electron density maps of NADP revealed modifications of the nicotinamide ring by oxygen atoms at positions 5 and 6. Further analysis by electrospray mass spectrometry and comparison with the mass spectra of NADP and NADPH revealed the nature of the modification and the incorporation of two hydroxyl moieties at the 5 and 6 position in the nicotinamide ring, yielding NADPH(OH)(2). These modifications might be due to oxygen stress on an enzyme, which would functionally work under anaerobic conditions. 相似文献

Ribose-5-phosphate isomerases (EC 5.3.1.6) inter-convert ribose-5-phosphate and ribulose-5-phosphate. This reaction allows the synthesis of ribose from other sugars, as well a means for salvage of carbohydrates after nucleotide breakdown. Two unrelated types of enzyme are known to catalyze the isomerization. The most common one, RpiA, is present in almost all organisms. The second type, RpiB, is found in many bacterial species.Here, we demonstrate that the RpiB from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Rv2465c) has catalytic properties very similar to those previously reported for the Escherichia coli RpiB enzyme. Further, we report the structure of the mycobacterial enzyme, solved by molecular replacement and refined to 1.88A resolution. Comparison with the E.coli structure shows that there are important differences in the two active sites, including a change in the position and nature of the catalytic base. Sequence comparisons reveal that the M.tuberculosis and E.coli RpiB enzymes are in fact representative of two distinct sub-families. The mycobacterial enzyme represents a type found only in actinobacteria, while the enzyme from E.coli is typical of that seen in many other bacterial proteomes. Both RpiBs are very different from RpiA in structure as well as in the construction of the active site. Docking studies allow additional insights into the reactions of all three enzymes, and show that many features of the mechanism are preserved despite the different catalytic components. 相似文献

The glycolytic enzyme fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBPA) catalyzes the reversible cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. Catalysis of Schiff base forming class I FBPA relies on a number of intermediates covalently bound to the catalytic lysine. Using active site mutants of FBPA I from Thermoproteus tenax, we have solved the crystal structures of the enzyme covalently bound to the carbinolamine of the substrate fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and noncovalently bound to the cyclic form of the substrate. The structures, determined at a resolution of 1.9 A and refined to crystallographic R factors of 0.148 and 0.149, respectively, represent the first view of any FBPA I in these two stages of the reaction pathway and allow detailed analysis of the roles of active site residues in catalysis. The active site geometry of the Tyr146Phe FBPA variant with the carbinolamine intermediate supports the notion that in the archaeal FBPA I Tyr146 is the proton donor catalyzing the conversion between the carbinolamine and Schiff base. Our structural analysis furthermore indicates that Glu187 is the proton donor in the eukaryotic FBPA I, whereas an aspartic acid, conserved in all FBPA I enzymes, is in a perfect position to be the general base facilitating carbon-carbon cleavage. The crystal structure of the Trp144Glu, Tyr146Phe double-mutant substrate complex represents the first example where the cyclic form of beta-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate is noncovalently bound to FBPA I. The structure thus allows for the first time the catalytic mechanism of ring opening to be unraveled. 相似文献

ADP-ribosyl cyclases catalyze the transformation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) into the calcium-mobilizing nucleotide second messenger cyclic adenosine diphosphoribose (cADP-ribose) by adenine N1-cyclization onto the C-1' ' position of NAD+. The invertebrate Aplysia californica ADP-ribosyl cyclase is unusual among this family of enzymes by acting exclusively as a cyclase, whereas the other members, such as CD38 and CD157, also act as NAD+ glycohydrolases, following a partitioning kinetic mechanism. To explore the intramolecular cyclization reaction, the novel nicotinamide 2-fluoroadenine dinucleotide (2-fluoro-NAD+) was designed as a sterically very close analogue to the natural substrate NAD+, with only an electronic perturbation at the critical N1 position of the adenine base designed to impede the cyclization reaction. 2-Fluoro-NAD+ was synthesized in high yield via Lewis acid catalyzed activation of the phosphoromorpholidate derivative of 2-fluoroadenosine 5'-monophosphate and coupling with nicotinamide 5'-monophosphate. With 2-fluoro-NAD+ as substrate, A. californica ADP-ribosyl cyclase exhibited exclusively a NAD+ glycohydrolase activity, catalyzing its hydrolytic transformation into 2-fluoro-ADP-ribose, albeit at a rate ca. 100-fold slower than for the cyclization of NAD+ and also, in the presence of methanol, into its methanolysis product beta-1' '-O-methyl 2-fluoro-ADP-ribose with a preference for methanolysis over hydrolysis of ca. 100:1. CD38 likely converted 2-fluoro-NAD+ exclusively into the same product. We conclude that A. californica ADP-ribosyl cyclase can indeed be classified as a multifunctional enzyme that also exhibits a classical NAD+ glycohydrolase function. This alternative pathway that remains, however, kinetically cryptic when using NAD+ as substrate can be unmasked with a dinucleotide analogue whose conversion into the cyclic derivative is blocked. 2-Fluoro-NAD+ is therefore a useful molecular tool allowing dissection of the kinetic scheme for this enzyme. 相似文献

Structural evidence for ligand-induced sequential conformational changes in glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase is a tetramer of four chemically identical subunits which requires the cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) for activity. The structure of the holo-enzyme from Bacillus stearothermophilus has recently been refined using X-ray data to 2.4 A resolution. This has facilitated the structure determination of both the apo-enzyme and the enzyme with one molecule of NAD bound to the tetramer. These structures have been refined at 4 A resolution using the constrained-restrained parameter structure factor least-squares refinement program CORELS. When combined with individual atomic temperature factors from the holo-enzyme, these refined models give crystallographic R factors of 30.2% and 30.4%, respectively, for data to 3 A resolution. The apo-enzyme has 222 molecular symmetry, and the subunit structure is related to that of the holo-enzyme by an approximate rigid-body rotation of the coenzyme binding domain by 4.3 degrees with respect to the catalytic domains, which form the core of the tetramer. The effect of this rotation is to shield the coenzyme and active site from solvent in the holo-enzyme. In addition to the rigid-body rotation, there is a rearrangement of several residues involved in NAD binding. The structure of the 1 NAD enzyme is asymmetric. The subunit which contains the bound NAD adopts a conformation very similar to that of a holo-enzyme subunit, while the other three unliganded subunits are very similar to the apo-enzyme conformation. This result provides unambiguous evidence for ligand-induced sequential conformational changes in B. stearothermophilus glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. 相似文献

Phosphofructokinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus shows cooperative kinetics with respect to the substrate fructose-6-phosphate (F6P), allosteric activation by ADP, and inhibition by phosphoenolpyruvate. The crystal structure of the active conformation of the enzyme has been solved to 2.4 A resolution, and three ligand-binding sites have been located. Two of these form the active site and bind the substrates F6P and ATP. The third site binds both allosteric activator and inhibitor. The complex of the enzyme with F6P and ADP has been partly refined at 2.4 A resolution, and a model of ATP has been built into the active site by using the refined model of ADP and a 6 A resolution map of bound 5'-adenylylimidodiphosphate (AMPPNP). The gamma-phosphate of ATP is close to the 1-hydroxyl of F6P, in a suitable position for in-line phosphoryl transfer. The binding of the phosphate of F6P involves two arginines from a neighbouring subunit in the tetramer, which suggests that a rearrangement of the subunits could explain the cooperativity of substrate binding. The activatory ADP is also bound by residues from two subunits. 相似文献

Ligand-induced structural changes in adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate kinase from Penicillium chrysogenum
Adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (APS) kinase catalyzes the second reaction in the two-step, ATP-dependent conversion of inorganic sulfate to 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS). PAPS serves as the sulfuryl donor for the biosynthesis of all sulfate esters and also as a precursor of reduced sulfur biomolecules in many organisms. Previously, we determined the crystal structure of ligand-free APS kinase from the filamentous fungus, Penicillium chrysogenum [MacRae et al. (2000) Biochemistry 39, 1613-1621]. That structure contained a protease-susceptible disordered region ("mobile lid"; residues 145-170). Addition of MgADP and APS, which together promote the formation of a nonproductive "dead-end" ternary complex, protected the lid from trypsin. This report presents the 1.43 A resolution crystal structure of APS kinase with both ADP and APS bound at the active site and the 2.0 A resolution structure of the enzyme with ADP alone bound. The mobile lid is ordered in both complexes and is shown to provide part of the binding site for APS. That site is formed primarily by the highly conserved Arg 66, Arg 80, and Phe 75 from the protein core and Phe 165 from the mobile lid. The two Phe residues straddle the adenine ring of bound APS. Arg 148, a completely conserved residue, is the only residue in the mobile lid that interacts directly with bound ADP. Ser 34, located in the apex of the P-loop, hydrogen-bonds to the 3'-OH of APS, the phosphoryl transfer target. The structure of the binary E.ADP complex revealed further changes in the active site and N-terminal helix that occur upon the binding/release of (P)APS. 相似文献

The binding of the substrates, ATP and ribose-5-P, and the most effective inhibitor, ADP, to phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase from Salmonella typhimurium was characterized using equilibrium dialysis of these compounds labeled with 32P. In the absence of ribose-5-P, ATP, ADP, and the ATP analogue alpha,beta-methylene ATP each bind cooperatively with half-saturation at 50 to 90 microM and Hill coefficients of 1.5 to 2. We propose that all three compounds bind at the same set of sites, which are presumably the active sites. When ribose-5-P was added, methylene ATP and ADP binding at these sites became tighter (Kd approximately 3 to 6 microM at 10 mM ribose-5-P) and lost its cooperativity. In the presence of ribose-5-P, ADP, but not methylene ATP, bound to a second site with half-saturation at approximately 150 microM and a Hill coefficient greater than 3. This result confirms the existence of an allosteric ADP site, which was previously postulated from kinetic studies (Switzer, R. L., and Sogin, D. C. (1973) J. Biol. Chem. 248, 1063-1073). Binding of ribose-5-P could not be detected in the absence of nucleotides, but it was readily measured in their presence. The apparent Kd of ribose-5-P varied from greater than 1 mM to approximately 5 microM as the concentration of either ADP or methylene ATP was increased from 0 to 2 mM. Inhibition of the enzyme by action of ADP at both active and allosteric sites could be observed kinetically. 相似文献

A high resolution crystal structure of Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase in the presence of vanadate has been refined to 1.9 A resolution. The vanadate ion takes on a trigonal bipyramidal geometry and is covalently bound by the active site serine nucleophile. A coordinated water molecule occupies the axial position opposite the serine nucleophile, whereas the equatorial oxygen atoms of the vanadate ion are stabilized by interactions with both Arg-166 and the zinc metal ions of the active site. This structural complex supports the in-line displacement mechanism of phosphomonoester hydrolysis by alkaline phosphatase and provides a model for the proposed transition state in the enzyme-catalyzed reaction. 相似文献

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) catalyzes the reversible oxidative phosphorylation of d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (GAP) into d-glycerate 1,3-bisphosphate (1,3-diPG) in the presence of NAD(+) and inorganic phosphate (P(i)). Within the active site, two anion-binding sites were ascribed to the binding of the C3 phosphate of GAP (P(s)) and to the binding of the attacking phosphate ion (P(i)). The role played by these two sites in the catalytic mechanism in connection with the functional role of coenzyme exchange (NADH-NAD(+) shuttle) has been investigated by several studies leading to the C3 phosphate flipping model proposed by Skarzynski et al. [Skarzynski, T., Moody, P. C., and Wonacott, A. J. (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 193, 171-187]. This model has not yet received direct confirmation. To gain further insight into the role of both sites, we synthesized irreversible inhibitors which form with the essential cysteine residue a thioacyl enzyme analogue of the catalytic intermediate. Here we report the refined glycosomal Trypanosoma cruzi GAPDH in complex with a covalently bound GAP analogue at an improved resolution of 2.0-2.5 A. For this holo-thioacyl enzyme complex, a flip-flop movement is clearly characterized, the change from the P(i) to the P(s) binding site being correlated with the coenzyme exchange step: the weaker interaction of the intermediate when bound at the P(s) site with the cofactor allows its release and also the binding of the inorganic phosphate for the next catalytic step. This result gives strong experimental support for the generally accepted flip-flop model of the catalytic mechanism in GAPDH. 相似文献
