(2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline(4-nitrobenzoate): strong induction of stereoelectronic effects via a readily synthesized proline derivative. Crystallographic observation of a correlation between torsion angle and bond length in a hyperconjugative interaction.

ABSTRACT: (2S,4R)-4-Hydroxyproline(4-nitrobenzoate) was synthesized. The crystal structure revealed an exo ring pucker, with the nitrobenzoate pseudoaxial on the pyrrolidine envelope and antiperiplanar to C(?) and C(?) C-H bonds. The unit cell exhibited variation in C(?)-H/C(?)-O and C(?)-H/C(?)-O torsion angles, with a 15° increase in torsion angle (148° to 163°) observed to result in a 0.018 Å decrease in C(?)-H/C(?)-O bond length, consistent with favorable ?C-H ? ?*C-O hyperconjugative interactions increasing with greater orbital overlap.

(2S,4R)-4-Hydroxyproline(4-nitrobenzoate) was synthesized. The crystal structure revealed an exo ring pucker, with the nitrobenzoate pseudoaxial on the pyrrolidine envelope and antiperiplanar to C(β) and C(δ) C-H bonds. The unit cell exhibited variation in C(δ)-H/C(γ)-O and C(β)-H/C(γ)-O torsion angles, with a 15° increase in torsion angle (148° to 163°) observed to result in a 0.018 Å decrease in C(δ)-H/C(γ)-O bond length, consistent with favorable σC-H → σ*C-O hyperconjugative interactions inc ...[more]

Project description:Sinorhizobium meliloti forms N2-fixing root nodules on alfalfa, and as a free-living bacterium, it can grow on a very broad range of substrates, including l-proline and several related compounds, such as proline betaine, trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline (trans-4-l-Hyp), and cis-4-hydroxy-d-proline (cis-4-d-Hyp). Fourteen hyp genes are induced upon growth of S. meliloti on trans-4-l-Hyp, and of those, hypMNPQ encodes an ABC-type trans-4-l-Hyp transporter and hypRE encodes an epimerase that converts trans-4-l-Hyp to cis-4-d-Hyp in the bacterial cytoplasm. Here, we present evidence that the HypO, HypD, and HypH proteins catalyze the remaining steps in which cis-4-d-Hyp is converted to ?-ketoglutarate. The HypO protein functions as a d-amino acid dehydrogenase, converting cis-4-d-Hyp to ?(1)-pyrroline-4-hydroxy-2-carboxylate, which is deaminated by HypD to ?-ketoglutarate semialdehyde and then converted to ?-ketoglutarate by HypH. The crystal structure of HypD revealed it to be a member of the N-acetylneuraminate lyase subfamily of the (?/?)8 protein family and is consistent with the known enzymatic mechanism for other members of the group. It was also shown that S. meliloti can catabolize d-proline as both a carbon and a nitrogen source, that d-proline can complement l-proline auxotrophy, and that the catabolism of d-proline is dependent on the hyp cluster. Transport of d-proline involves the HypMNPQ transporter, following which d-proline is converted to ?(1)-pyrroline-2-carboxylate (P2C) largely via HypO. The P2C is converted to l-proline through the NADPH-dependent reduction of P2C by the previously uncharacterized HypS protein. Thus, overall, we have now completed detailed genetic and/or biochemical characterization of 9 of the 14 hyp genes.Hydroxyproline is abundant in proteins in animal and plant tissues and serves as a carbon and a nitrogen source for bacteria in diverse environments, including the rhizosphere, compost, and the mammalian gut. While the main biochemical features of bacterial hydroxyproline catabolism were elucidated in the 1960s, the genetic and molecular details have only recently been determined. Elucidating the genetics of hydroxyproline catabolism will aid in the annotation of these genes in other genomes and metagenomic libraries. This will facilitate an improved understanding of the importance of this pathway and may assist in determining the prevalence of hydroxyproline in a particular environment.
