Structural dynamics of a methionine ?-lyase for calicheamicin biosynthesis: Rotation of the conserved tyrosine stacking with pyridoxal phosphate.

ABSTRACT: CalE6 from Micromonospora echinospora is a (pyridoxal 5' phosphate) PLP-dependent methionine ?-lyase involved in the biosynthesis of calicheamicins. We report the crystal structure of a CalE6 2-(N-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid complex showing ligand-induced rotation of Tyr100, which stacks with PLP, resembling the corresponding tyrosine rotation of true catalytic intermediates of CalE6 homologs. Elastic network modeling and crystallographic ensemble refinement reveal mobility of the N-terminal loop, which involves both tetrameric assembly and PLP binding. Modeling and comparative structural analysis of PLP-dependent enzymes involved in Cys/Met metabolism shine light on the functional implications of the intrinsic dynamic properties of CalE6 in catalysis and holoenzyme maturation.

Project description:Escherichia coli YggS (COG0325) is a member of the highly conserved pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-binding protein (PLPBP) family. Recent studies suggested a role for this protein family in the homeostasis of vitamin B6 and amino acids. The deletion or mutation of a member of this protein family causes pleiotropic effects in many organisms and is causative of vitamin B6-dependent epilepsy in humans. To date, little has been known about the mechanism by which lack of YggS results in these diverse phenotypes. In this study, we determined that the pyridoxine (PN) sensitivity observed in yggS-deficient E. coli was caused by the pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP)-dependent overproduction of Val, which is toxic to E. coli The data suggest that the yggS mutation impacts Val accumulation by perturbing the biosynthetic of Thr from homoserine (Hse). Exogenous Hse inhibited the growth of the yggS mutant, caused further accumulation of PNP, and increased the levels of some intermediates in the Thr-Ile-Val metabolic pathways. Blocking the Thr biosynthetic pathway or decreasing the intracellular PNP levels abolished the perturbations of amino acid metabolism caused by the exogenous PN and Hse. Our data showed that a high concentration of intracellular PNP is the root cause of at least some of the pleiotropic phenotypes described for a yggS mutant of E. coliIMPORTANCE Recent studies showed that deletion or mutation of members of the YggS protein family causes pleiotropic effects in many organisms. Little is known about the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of these diverse phenotypes. It was previously shown that yggS mutations in E. coli result in the accumulation of PNP and some metabolites in the Ile/Val biosynthetic pathway. This work revealed that some exogenous stresses increase the aberrant accumulation of PNP in the yggS mutant. In addition, the current report provides evidence indicating that some, but not all, of the phenotypes of the yggS mutant in E. coli are due to the elevated PNP level. These results will contribute to continuing efforts to determine the molecular functions of the members of the YggS protein family.

Project description:The roles of the healthy microbiome on the host and the relationships between members of the microbiome remain to be fully characterized. Due to the complexity of the interactions between the mammalian microbiome and its host, the use of model organisms such as the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans is a promising strategy to study host-microbiome interactions in vivo, as well as bacterial crosstalk within the host. Previously it was found that native bacterial isolates of the worm, Chryseobacterium sp. CHNTR56 MYb120 and Comamonas sp. 12022 MYb131, possess genomic diversity in the biosynthesis of the active form of vitamin B6, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), and contribute to host fitness and lifespan extension. However, the relative contribution of PLP from each isolate, as well as the existence of interbacterial relationships within the worm gut remain to be characterized. In the present work, we investigated the presence and measured the abundance of PLP in the isolates and in the worms grown with the isolates using ultraperformance liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Our analyses confirmed the presence of PLP in vitro and in vivo. The elevated abundance of PLP in the isolates (which reached statistically significant levels when the two isolates were combined), and within worms grown with the combination of bacterial isolates, compared to control, indicated synergism between the isolates in the production of PLP. Isotope labeling revealed that Comamonas sp. 12022 MYb131 was the main provider of PLP in worms grown with the combination of bacterial isolates. The dominance of this isolate inside the worm was further confirmed by a colonization assay. An untargeted metabolomics analysis of the bacteria showed that the pathways related to cell growth, protein synthesis and lipid synthesis/energy production were regulated in the combination group in comparison with Comamonas sp. 12022 MYb131 alone. Furthermore, glutamine, involved in the de novo synthesis of purine and pyrimidines, was specifically abundant in this group, indicating the potential role of this metabolite in initiating and sustaining bacterial growth. This bacterial crosstalk is suggested to promote the growth of Comamonas sp. 12022 MYb131 in vivo, and synthesis of bacterial metabolites such as PLP in the worm gut.
