Refined crystal structure of the phosphorylase-heptulose 2-phosphate-oligosaccharide-AMP complex 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The crystal structure of phosphorylase b-heptulose 2-phosphate complex with oligosaccharide and AMP bound has been refined by molecular dynamics and crystallographic least-squares with the program XPLOR. Shifts in atomic positions of up to 4 A from the native enzyme structure were correctly determined by the program without manual intervention. The final crystallographic R value for data between 8 and 2.86 A resolution is 0.201, and the overall root-mean-square difference between the native and complexed structure is 0.58 A for all protein atoms. The results confirm the previous observation that there is a direct hydrogen bond between the phosphate of heptulose 2-phosphate and the pyridoxal phosphate 5'-phosphate group. The close proximity of the two phosphates is stabilized by an arginine residue, Arg569, which shifts from a site buried in the protein to a position where it can make contact with the product phosphate. There is a mutual interchange in position between the arginine and an acidic group, Asp283. These movements represent the first stage of the allosteric response which converts the catalytic site from a low to a high-affinity binding site. Communication of these changes to other sites is prevented in the crystal by the lattice forces, which also form the subunit interface. The constellation of groups in the phosphorylase transition state analogue complex provides a structural basis for understanding the catalytic mechanism in which the cofactor pyridoxal phosphate 5'-phosphate group functions as a general acid to promote attack by the substrate phosphate on the glycosidic bond when the reaction proceeds in the direction of glycogen degradation. In the direction of glycogen synthesis, stereoelectronic effects contribute to the cleavage of the C-1-O-1 bond. In both reactions the substrate phosphate plays a key role in transition state stabilization. The details of the oligosaccharide, maltoheptaose, interactions with the enzyme at the glycogen storage site are also described. 相似文献

P-O bond destabilization accelerates phosphoenzyme hydrolysis of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase
The phosphate group of the ADP-insensitive phosphoenzyme (E2-P) of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ -ATPase (SERCA1a) was studied with infrared spectroscopy to understand the high hydrolysis rate of E2-P. By monitoring an autocatalyzed isotope exchange reaction, three stretching vibrations of the transiently bound phosphate group were selectively observed against a background of 50,000 protein vibrations. They were found at 1194, 1137, and 1115 cm(-1). This information was evaluated using the bond valence model and empirical correlations. Compared with the model compound acetyl phosphate, structure and charge distribution of the E2-P aspartyl phosphate resemble somewhat the transition state in a dissociative phosphate transfer reaction; the aspartyl phosphate of E2-P has 0.02 A shorter terminal P-O bonds and a 0.09 A longer bridging P-O bond that is approximately 20% weaker, the angle between the terminal P-O bonds is wider, and -0.2 formal charges are shifted from the phosphate group to the aspartyl moiety. The weaker bridging P-O bond of E2-P accounts for a 10(11)-10(15)-fold hydrolysis rate enhancement, implying that P-O bond destabilization facilitates phosphoenzyme hydrolysis. P-O bond destabilization is caused by a shift of noncovalent interactions from the phosphate oxygens to the aspartyl oxygens. We suggest that the relative positioning of Mg2+ and Lys684 between phosphate and aspartyl oxygens controls the hydrolysis rate of the ATPase phosphoenzymes and related phosphoproteins. 相似文献

The structure of a molybdopterin precursor. Characterization of a stable, oxidized derivative 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

An oxidized pterin species, termed compound Z, has been isolated from molybdenum cofactor-deficient mutants of Escherichia coli and shown to be the direct product of oxidation of a molybdopterin precursor which accumulates in these mutants. The complete structural characterization of compound Z has been accomplished. A carbonyl function at C-1' of the 6-alkyl side chain can be reacted with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to yield a phenylhydrazone and can be reduced with borohydride, producing a mixture of two enantiomers, each with a hydroxyl group on C-1'. Compound Z contains one phosphate/pterin and no sulfur. The phosphate group is insensitive to alkaline phosphatase and to a number of phosphodiesterases but is quantitatively released as inorganic phosphate by mild acid hydrolysis. From 31P and 1H NMR of compound Z it was inferred that the phosphate is bound to C-2' and C-4' of a 4-carbon side chain, forming a 6-membered cyclic structure. Mass spectral analysis showed an MH+ ion with an exact mass of 344.0401 corresponding to the molecular formula C10H11N5O7P, confirming the proposed structure. 相似文献

We have studied the role of Tyr-69 of porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 in catalysis and substrate binding, using site-directed mutagenesis. A mutant was constructed containing Phe at position 69. Kinetic characterization revealed that the Phe-69 mutant has retained enzymatic activity on monomeric and micellar substrates, and that the mutation has only minor effects on kcat and Km. This shows that Tyr-69 plays no role in the true catalytic events during substrate hydrolysis. In contrast, the mutation has a profound influence on the stereospecificity of the enzyme. Whereas the wild-type phospholipase A2 is only able to catalyse the degradation of sn-3 phospholipids, the Phe-69 mutant hydrolyses both the sn-3 isomers and, at a low (1-2%) rate, the sn-1 isomers. Despite the fact that the stereospecificity of the mutant phospholipase has been altered, Phe-69 phospholipase still requires Ca2+ ions as a cofactor and also retains its specificity for the sn-2 ester bond. Our data suggest that in porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 the hydroxyl group of Tyr-69 serves to fix and orient the phosphate group of phospholipid monomers by hydrogen bonding. Because no such interaction can occur between the Phe-69 side-chain and the phosphate moiety of the substrate monomer, the mutant enzyme loses part of its stereospecificity but not its positional specificity. 相似文献

Approximately 1 mol phosphatidylinositol phosphate is formed per mol isolated Ca2+ transport ATPase when the enzyme is incubated with ATP/Mg2+. The phosphorylation of this enzyme-associated phosphatidylinositol represents the alkylphosphate formation described earlier. The phosphatidylinositol phosphate has been found in the hydrophobic core of the enzyme. A complex of phosphatidylinositol phosphate with protein can be extracted with acidic chloroform/methanol. The protein behaves like proteolipid during chromatography on Sephadex LH 60 and binds the radioactively labelled phosphatidylinositol phosphate. The phosphorylation of approximately 1 mol phosphatidylinositol per 100,000 g protein correlates with an enhancement of the Ca2+ transport ATPase activity which is due to an approximately 7-fold enhanced affinity for Ca2+ and an approximately 2-fold enhanced maximal turnover. 相似文献

The bacterial enzyme maltodextrin phosphorylase (MalP) catalyses the phosphorolysis of an alpha-1,4-glycosidic bond in maltodextrins, removing the non-reducing glucosyl residues of linear oligosaccharides as glucose-1-phosphate (Glc1P). In contrast to the well-studied muscle glycogen phosphorylase (GP), MalP exhibits no allosteric properties and has a higher affinity for linear oligosaccharides than GP. We have used MalP as a model system to study catalysis in the crystal in the direction of maltodextrin synthesis. The 2.0A crystal structure of the MalP/Glc1P binary complex shows that the Glc1P substrate adopts a conformation seen previously with both inactive and active forms of mammalian GP, with the phosphate group not in close contact with the 5'-phosphate group of the essential pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) cofactor. In the active MalP enzyme, the residue Arg569 stabilizes the negative-charged Glc1P, whereas in the inactive form of GP this key residue is held away from the catalytic site by loop 280s and an allosteric transition of the mammalian enzyme is required for activation. The comparison between MalP structures shows that His377, through a hydrogen bond with the 6-hydroxyl group of Glc1P substrate, triggers a conformational change of the 380s loop. This mobile region folds over the catalytic site and contributes to the specific recognition of the oligosaccharide and to the synergism between substrates in promoting the formation of the MalP ternary complex. The structures solved after the diffusion of oligosaccharides (either maltotetraose, G4 or maltopentaose, G5) into MalP/Glc1P crystals show the formation of phosphate and elongation of the oligosaccharide chain. These structures, refined at 1.8A and at 2.2A, confirm that only when an oligosaccharide is bound to the catalytic site will Glc1P bend its phosphate group down so it can contact the PLP 5' phosphate group and promote catalysis. The relatively large oligosaccharide substrates can diffuse quickly into the MalP/Glc1P crystals and the enzymatic reaction can occur without significant crystal damage. These structures obtained before and after catalysis have been used as frames of a molecular movie. This movie reveals the relative positions of substrates in the catalytic channel and shows a minimal movement of the protein, involving mainly Arg569, which tracks the substrate phosphate group. 相似文献

The three-dimensional X-ray crystal structures of HincII bound to cognate DNA containing GTCGAC and Mn(2+) or Mg(2+), at 2.50A and 2.95A resolution, respectively, are presented. In both structures, the DNA is found cleaved, and the positions of the active-site groups, cleaved phosphate group, and 3' oxygen atom of the leaving group are in very similar positions. Two highly occupied Mn(2+) positions are found in each active site of the four crystallographically independent subunit copies in the HincII/DNA/Mn(2+) structure. The manganese ion closest to the previously identified single Ca(2+) position of HincII is shifted 1.7A and has lost direct ligation to the active-site aspartate residue, Asp127. A Mn(2+)-ligated water molecule in a position analogous to that seen in the HincII/DNA/Ca(2+) structure, and proposed to be the attacking nucleophile, is beyond hydrogen bonding distance from the active-site lysine residue, Lys129, but remains within hydrogen bonding distance from the proRp oxygen atom of the phosphate group 3' to the scissile phosphate group. In addition, the position of the cleaved phosphate group is on the opposite side of the axis connecting the two metal ions relative to that found in the BamHI/product DNA/Mn(2+) structure. Mechanistic implications are discussed, and a model for the two-metal-ion mechanism of DNA cleavage by HincII is proposed. 相似文献

A cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase, acting preferentially on IMP and GMP, has been isolated from human colon carcinoma extracts. This enzyme activity catalyzes also the transfer of the phosphate group of 5'-nucleoside monophosphates (mainly, 5'-IMP, 5'-GMP, and their deoxycounterparts) to nucleosides (preferentially inosine and deoxyinosine, but also nucleoside analogs, such as 8-azaguanosine and 2',3'-dideoxyinosine). It has been proposed that the enzyme mechanism involves the formation of a phosphorylated enzyme as an intermediate which can transfer the phosphate group either to water or to the nucleoside. The enzyme is activated by some effectors, such as ATP and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. Results indicate that the effect of these activators is mainly to favor the transfer of the phosphate of the phosphorylated intermediate to the nucleoside (i.e., the nucleoside phosphotransferase activity). This finding is in accordance with previous suggestions that cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase cannot be considered a pure catabolic enzyme. 相似文献

A method of structure analysis of intercalates has been developed that uses a combination of molecular simulations with powder diffraction. The program Supramol for the determination of intercalated structures uses crystal energy minimization in conjunction with powder diffraction data.The program solves the multiple minima problem in molecular mechanics, generating initial models systematically and searching for the global energy minimum by comparing the experimental and calculated diffraction patterns. The program is compatible with the Cerius2 modeling environment.Two intercalated crystal structures solved by Supramol are presented in the present paper: vanadyl phosphate intercalated with p-benzoquinone and the high temperature phase of vanadyl phosphate intercalated with dioxane. The structure of vanadyl phosphate intercalated with p-benzochinone is tetragonal, space group I4/ m, the unit cell parameters a=6.21 A, b=6.21 A, c=20.18 A and the density is rho=2.30 g x cm(-3), Z=4. The crystal structure of vanadyl phosphate intercalated with dioxane (high temperature phase) is monoclinic, space group C2/ m, unit cell parameters are: a= b=8.94 A, c=8.22 A, alpha=gamma=90 degrees, beta=106.30 degrees, Z=4, density 2.248 g x cm(-3). 相似文献

Organosulfonates are widespread in the environment, both as natural products and as xenobiotics; and they generally share the property of chemical stability. A wide range of phenomena has evolved in microorganisms able to utilize the sulfur or the carbon moiety of these compounds; and recent work has centered on bacteria. This Mini-Review centers on bacterial catabolism of the carbon moiety in the C2-sulfonates and the fate of the sulfonate group. Five of the six compounds examined are subject to catabolism, but information on the molecular nature of transport and regulation is based solely on sequencing data. Two mechanisms of desulfonation have been established. First, there is the specific monooxygenation of ethanesulfonate or ethane-1,2-disulfonate. Second, the oxidative, reductive and fermentative modes of catabolism tend to yield the intermediate sulfoacetaldehyde, which is now known to be desulfonated to acetyl phosphate by a thiamin-diphosphate-dependent acetyltransferase. This enzyme is widespread and at least three subgroups can be recognized, some of them in genomic sequencing projects. These data emphasize the importance of acetyl phosphate in bacterial metabolism. A third mechanism of desulfonation is suggested: the hydrolysis of sulfoacetate. 相似文献

Abstract The rate of condensation using the phosphate triester method of deoxyoligonucleotide synthesis is dramatically increased by the introduction of a phosphate protecting group bearing a nuclcophilic catalyst in the proper position. Following condensation (resulting in the formation of a phosphate triester) the catalytic protecting group can be removed leaving a dinucleotide, or the condensation reaction can be repeated to synthesize an oligonucleotide. This development is a significant advance in the chemical synthesis of deoxyoligonucleotides. 相似文献

A novel phosphate transfer process involving the non-enzymatic transfer of a phosphate group from inositol pyrophosphates to serine residues in proteins has been recently reported. Semi-empirical calculations at the PM3/SM5.2 level were undertaken to explore the effect of inositol pyrophosphate structure and overall charge on the thermodynamics of this phosphate transfer. 相似文献

The crystal structures of Salmonella typhimurium 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine phosphate kinase (HMPP kinase) and its complex with substrate HMP have been determined. HMPP kinase catalyzes two separate ATP-dependent phosphorylation reactions and is an essential enzyme in the thiamin biosynthetic pathway. HMPP kinase is a homodimer with one active site per monomer and is structurally homologous to members of the ribokinase family. A comparison of the structure of HMPP kinase with other members of the ribokinase family suggests an evolutionary progression. Modeling studies suggest that HMPP kinase catalyzes both of its phosphorylation reactions using in-line displacement mechanisms. We propose that the active site accommodates the two separate reactions by providing two different binding modes for the phosphate group of HMP phosphate. 相似文献

Three-dimensional structure of the tryptophan synthase alpha 2 beta 2 multienzyme complex from Salmonella typhimurium 总被引:25,自引:0,他引:25

The three-dimensional structure of the alpha 2 beta 2 complex of tryptophan synthase from Salmonella typhimurium has been determined by x-ray crystallography at 2.5 A resolution. The four polypeptide chains are arranged nearly linearly in an alpha beta beta alpha order forming a complex 150 A long. The overall polypeptide fold of the smaller alpha subunit, which cleaves indole glycerol phosphate, is that of an 8-fold alpha/beta barrel. The alpha subunit active site has been located by difference Fourier analysis of the binding of indole propanol phosphate, a competitive inhibitor of the alpha subunit and a close structural analog of the natural substrate. The larger pyridoxal phosphate-dependent beta subunit contains two domains of nearly equal size, folded into similar helix/sheet/helix structures. The binding site for the coenzyme pyridoxal phosphate lies deep within the interface between the two beta subunit domains. The active sites of neighboring alpha and beta subunits are separated by a distance of about 25 A. A tunnel with a diameter matching that of the intermediate substrate indole connects these active sites. The tunnel is believed to facilitate the diffusion of indole from its point of production in the alpha subunit active site to the site of tryptophan synthesis in the beta active site and thereby prevent its escape to the solvent during catalysis. 相似文献

Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) has been proposed previously to employ a catalytic mechanism highly reminiscent of that of ribonuclease A (RNase A). Both catalytic sites are comprised of two histidine side chains acting as a general base-general acid pair and a phosphate-activating residue: an arginine in the case of PI-PLC and a lysine in RNase A. Despite these structural similarities, the PI-PLC reaction is slowed 10(5)-fold upon substitution of one of the phosphate nonbridging oxygen atoms with sulfur, whereas a much smaller effect is observed in the analogous RNase A reaction. Here, we report a systematic study of this property in PI-PLC, conducted by means of site-directed chemical modification of a cysteine residue replacing the arginine at position 69. The results show that mutant enzymes featuring bidentate side chains at this position display significantly higher activity, higher thio effects, and greater stereoselectivity than do those with monodentate side chains. The results suggest that the bidentate nature of Arg69 is the origin of the large thio effects and stereoselectivity in PI-PLC. We propose that in addition to binding the phosphate, the function of arginine 69 is to bring the phosphate group and the 2-OH group of inositol into proximity and to induce proper alignment for nucleophilic attack, and possibly to lower the pK(a) of the 2-OH. The results presented here could be important to mechanisms of phosphoryl transfer enzymes in general, suggesting that a major part of thio effects observed in enzymatic phosphoryl transfer reactions can originate from factors other than direct interaction between a side chain and a phosphate group, and caution the use of the absolute magnitude of the thio effect as an indicator of the strength of such interactions. 相似文献

A novel phosphate-induced gene, phi-2, has been identified by its induction on addition of phosphate to phosphate-starved tobacco BY-2 cells. The predicted gene product of phi-2 has significant homology to a group of bZIP proteins involved in ABA-signaling pathways, and phi-2 also responded to ABA treatment. A previously isolated phosphate-induced gene, phi-1, (Sano et al. (1999) Plant Cell Physiol. 40: 1) was also responsive to ABA. Although phosphate addition induced semi-synchronous cell division in phosphate-starved tobacco BY-2 cells, ABA adversely affected cell division. Detailed examination revealed that the high levels of phosphate required to induce semi-synchronous cell division seemed to be perceived as indicators of stress by the cells. One of the stress indicators perceived by the cells is a cytoplasmic pH change, to which phi-2 and phi-1 genes respond. The different components of the cell's response to phosphate induction are discussed. 相似文献

Study of the structure of N-acyldipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamines in aqueous dispersion by infrared and Raman spectroscopies 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The effect of the headgroup chain length on the structure and on the thermotropic behavior of N-acyldipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamines (N-acyl-DPPEs) has been studied by infrared and Raman spectroscopies. The results show that the N-acyl-DPPEs can be divided in two classes depending on the N-acyl chain length. When the N-acyl chain contains 10 carbon atoms or more, it penetrates into the bilayer while it remains at the level of the glycerol backbone for shorter N-acyl chains. For both classes of N-acyl-DPPEs, the rotation of the lipid chains in the liquid-crystalline phase is hindered by the presence of the N-acyl group. In addition, the disruption of the hydrogen bonds between the amino and phosphate groups by N-acylation of the amino group results in an increase of the hydration of the phosphate group compared to that in DPPE. The hydration occurred at both the phosphate and amide group levels; the phosphate group is more hydrated for phospholipids with long N-acyl chains while in the case of short-chain derivatives both the phosphate and amide groups are hydrated. This higher degree of hydration coupled with the immobilization of the lipid molecule may contribute to the bilayer stabilizer role of N-acyl-PEs since hydration is an important factor in bilayer stability. 相似文献

This study investigates the effect of Mg(2+) bound to the DNA major groove on DNA structure and dynamics. The analysis of a comprehensive dataset of B-DNA crystallographic structures shows that divalent cations are preferentially located in the DNA major groove where they interact with successive bases of (A/G)pG and the phosphate group of 5'-CpA or TpG. Based on this knowledge, molecular dynamics simulations were carried out on a DNA oligomer without or with Mg(2+) close to an ApG step. These simulations showed that the hydrated Mg(2+) forms a stable intra-strand cross-link between the two purines in solution. ApG generates an electrostatic potential in the major groove that is particularly attractive for cations; its intrinsic conformation is well-adapted to the formation of water-mediated hydrogen bonds with Mg(2+). The binding of Mg(2+) modulates the behavior of the 5'-neighboring step by increasing the BII (ε-ζ>0°) population of its phosphate group. Additional electrostatic interactions between the 5'-phosphate group and Mg(2+) strengthen both the DNA-cation binding and the BII character of the 5'-step. Cation binding in the major groove may therefore locally influence the DNA conformational landscape, suggesting a possible avenue for better understanding how strong DNA distortions can be stabilized in protein-DNA complexes. 相似文献

The crystal structure of the binary complex of nonactivated ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase from Rhodospirillum rubrum and a transition state analogue, 2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1,5-bisphosphate has been determined to 2.6 A resolution with x-ray crystallographic methods. The transition state analogue binds in a rather extended conformation at the active site. The orientation of the transition state analogue within the active site could be determined from the electron density maps. The P1 phosphate group of the analogue binds at a site built up of residues from loops 5 and 6 of the alpha/beta-barrel. The phosphate group interacts with the side chains of the conserved residues Arg-288, His-321, and Ser-368 and with main chain nitrogens from residues Thr-322 and Gly-323. The second phosphate group of the transition state analogue binds at the opposite side of the barrel close to loops 1 and 8. Significant differences for the positions and interactions of the P2 phosphate group with the enzyme are found in the two subunits of the dimer. The different mode of binding for this phosphate group in the two subunits is interpreted as a consequence of different conformations of the polypeptide chain observed in loops 6 and 8. The P2 phosphate group interacts with the sidechains of Lys-166 and Lys-329. Loop 6, which is disordered in the nonactivated, nonliganded enzyme is considerably more ordered in one of the subunits, probably due to the interaction of the side chain of Lys-329 with the P2 phosphate group. Almost all oxygen atoms are hydrogen bonded to groups on the enzyme. The carboxyl group forms hydrogen bonds to the side chain of the conserved Asn-111. The binding of the transition state analogue to the nonactivated enzyme is different from the binding of the analogue to activated spinach ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase. 相似文献

Described is the synthesis of polyprenyl 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl phosphate derivatives, including an analog of decaprenyl beta-D-arabinofuranosyl phosphate, the donor species used by the arabinosyltransferases involved in mycobacterial cell-wall biosynthesis. The targets were synthesized via a route involving the synthesis of a protected beta-D-arabinofuranosyl phosphate derivative, its coupling with a polyprenyl trichloroacetimidate, and then deprotection of the resulting product. The use of arabinofuranosyl phosphates with the monosaccharide hydroxyl groups protected as either silyl ethers or benzoate esters was explored. Although the coupling yields between the phosphate and polyprenyl trichloroacetimidates were comparable with either type of protecting group, access to the benzoyl-protected derivative was more efficient and therefore gave the products in higher overall yield. 相似文献
