The N253F mutant structure of trehalose synthase from Deinococcus radiodurans reveals an open active-site topology.

ABSTRACT: Trehalose synthase (TS) catalyzes the reversible conversion of maltose to trehalose and belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 13 (GH13). Previous mechanistic analysis suggested a rate-limiting protein conformational change, which is probably the opening and closing of the active site. Consistently, crystal structures of Deinococcus radiodurans TS (DrTS) in complex with the inhibitor Tris displayed an enclosed active site for catalysis of the intramoleular isomerization. In this study, the apo structure of the DrTS N253F mutant displays a new open conformation with an empty active site. Analysis of these structures suggests that substrate binding induces a domain rotation to close the active site. Such a substrate-induced domain rotation has also been observed in some other GH13 enzymes.

The structure of amylosucrase from Deinococcus radiodurans has an unusual open active-site topology.

Project description:Amylosucrases (ASes) catalyze the formation of an ?-1,4-glucosidic linkage by transferring a glucosyl unit from sucrose onto an acceptor ?-1,4-glucan. To date, several ligand-bound crystal structures of wild-type and mutant ASes from Neisseria polysaccharea and Deinococcus geothermalis have been solved. These structures all display a very similar overall conformation with a deep pocket leading to the site for transglucosylation, subsite -1. This has led to speculation on how sucrose enters the active site during glucan elongation. In contrast to previous studies, the AS structure from D. radiodurans presented here has a completely empty -1 subsite. This structure is strikingly different from other AS structures, as an active-site-lining loop comprising residues Leu214-Asn225 is found in a previously unobserved conformation. In addition, a large loop harbouring the conserved active-site residues Asp133 and Tyr136 is disordered. The result of the changed loop conformations is that the active-site topology is radically changed, leaving subsite -1 exposed and partially dismantled. This structure provides novel insights into the dynamics of ASes and comprises the first structural support for an elongation mechanism that involves considerable conformational changes to modulate accessibility to the sucrose-binding site and thereby allows successive cycles of glucosyl-moiety transfer to a growing glucan chain.

Structures of trehalose synthase from Deinococcus radiodurans reveal that a closed conformation is involved in catalysis of the intramolecular isomerization.

Project description:Trehalose synthase catalyzes the simple conversion of the inexpensive maltose into trehalose with a side reaction of hydrolysis. Here, the crystal structures of the wild type and the N253A mutant of Deinococcus radiodurans trehalose synthase (DrTS) in complex with the inhibitor Tris are reported. DrTS consists of a catalytic (β/α)8 barrel, subdomain B, a C-terminal β domain and two TS-unique subdomains (S7 and S8). The C-terminal domain and S8 contribute the majority of the dimeric interface. DrTS shares high structural homology with sucrose hydrolase, amylosucrase and sucrose isomerase in complex with sucrose, in particular a virtually identical active-site architecture and a similar substrate-induced rotation of subdomain B. The inhibitor Tris was bound and mimics a sugar at the -1 subsite. A maltose was modelled into the active site, and subsequent mutational analysis suggested that Tyr213, Glu320 and Glu324 are essential within the +1 subsite for the TS activity. In addition, the interaction networks between subdomains B and S7 seal the active-site entrance. Disruption of such networks through the replacement of Arg148 and Asn253 with alanine resulted in a decrease in isomerase activity by 8-9-fold and an increased hydrolase activity by 1.5-1.8-fold. The N253A structure showed a small pore created for water entry. Therefore, our DrTS-Tris may represent a substrate-induced closed conformation that will facilitate intramolecular isomerization and minimize disaccharide hydrolysis.

The structure of the Mycobacterium smegmatis trehalose synthase reveals an unusual active site configuration and acarbose-binding mode.

Project description:Trehalose synthase (TreS) catalyzes the reversible conversion of maltose into trehalose in mycobacteria as one of three biosynthetic pathways to this nonreducing disaccharide. Given the importance of trehalose to survival of mycobacteria, there has been considerable interest in understanding the enzymes involved in its production; indeed the structures of the key enzymes in the other two pathways have already been determined. Herein, we present the first structure of TreS from Mycobacterium smegmatis, thereby providing insights into the catalytic machinery involved in this intriguing intramolecular reaction. This structure, which is of interest both mechanistically and as a potential pharmaceutical target, reveals a narrow and enclosed active site pocket within which intramolecular substrate rearrangements can occur. We also present the structure of a complex of TreS with acarbose, revealing a hitherto unsuspected oligosaccharide-binding site within the C-terminal domain. This may well provide an anchor point for the association of TreS with glycogen, thereby enhancing its role in glycogen biosynthesis and degradation.

Mechanistic Studies of 1-Deoxy-D-Xylulose-5-Phosphate Synthase from Deinococcus radiodurans.

Project description:The non-mevalonate dependent (NMVA) pathway for the biosynthesis of isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate is the sole source of these terpenoids for the production of isoprenoids in the apicomplexan parasites, in many eubacteria, and in plants. The absence of this pathway in higher organisms has opened a new platform for the development of novel antibiotics and anti-malarials. The enzyme catalyzing the first step of the NMVA pathway is 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXPS). DXPS catalyzes the thiamine pyrophosphate- and Mg (II)-dependent conjugation of pyruvate and D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to form 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate and CO2. The kinetic mechanism of DXPS from Deinococcus radiodurans most consistent with our data is random sequential as shown using a combination of kinetic analysis and product and dead-end inhibition studies. The role of active site amino acids, identified by sequence alignment to other DXPS proteins, was probed by constructing and analyzing the catalytic efficacy of a set of targeted site-directed mutants.

An unusual tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase interacts with nitric oxide synthase in Deinococcus radiodurans.

Project description:In mammals, nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) produce nitric oxide for signaling and defense functions; in Streptomyces, NOS proteins nitrate a tryptophanyl moiety in synthesis of a phytotoxin. We have discovered that the NOS protein from the radiation-resistant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans (deiNOS) associates with an unusual tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase (TrpRS). D. radiodurans contains genes for two TrpRSs: the first has approximately 40% sequence identity to typical TrpRSs, whereas the second, identified as the NOS-interacting protein (TrpRS II), has only approximately 29% identity. TrpRS II is induced after radiation damage and contains an N-terminal extension similar to those of proteins involved in stress responses. Recombinantly expressed TrpRS II binds tryptophan (Trp), ATP, and D. radiodurans tRNA(Trp) and catalyzes the formation of 5' adenyl-Trp and tRNA(Trp), with approximately five times less activity than TrpRS I. Upon coexpression in Escherichia coli, TrpRS II binds to, copurifies with, and dramatically enhances the solubility of deiNOS. Dimeric TrpRS II binds dimeric deiNOS with a stoichiometry of 1:1 and a dissociation constant of 6-30 muM. Upon forming a complex, deiNOS quenches the fluorescence of an ATP analog bound to TrpRS II, and increases its affinity for substrate l-arginine. Remarkably, TrpRS II also activates the NOS activity of deiNOS. These findings reveal a link between bacterial NOS and Trp metabolism in a second organism and may indicate yet another novel biological function for bacterial NOS.

Cloning, expression, and characterization of a nitric oxide synthase protein from Deinococcus radiodurans.

Project description:We cloned, expressed, and characterized a hemeprotein from Deinococcus radiodurans (D. radiodurans NO synthase, deiNOS) whose sequence is 34% identical to the oxygenase domain of mammalian NO synthases (NOSoxys). deiNOS was dimeric, bound substrate Arg and cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin, and had a normal heme environment, despite its missing N-terminal structures that in NOSoxy bind Zn(2+) and tetrahydrobiopterin and help form an active dimer. The deiNOS heme accepted electrons from a mammalian NOS reductase and generated NO at rates that met or exceeded NOSoxy. Activity required bound tetrahydrobiopterin or tetrahydrofolate and was linked to formation and disappearance of a typical heme-dioxy catalytic intermediate. Thus, bacterial NOS-like proteins are surprisingly similar to mammalian NOSs and broaden our perspective of NO biochemistry and function.

Thioredoxin system from Deinococcus radiodurans.

Project description:This paper describes the cloning, purification, and characterization of thioredoxin (Trx) and thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and the structure determination of TrxR from the ionizing radiation-tolerant bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans strain R1. The genes from D. radiodurans encoding Trx and TrxR were amplified by PCR, inserted into a pET expression vector, and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The overexpressed proteins were purified by metal affinity chromatography, and their activity was demonstrated using well-established assays of insulin precipitation (for Trx), 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) reduction, and insulin reduction (for TrxR). In addition, the crystal structure of oxidized TrxR was determined at 1.9-A resolution. The overall structure was found to be very similar to that of E. coli TrxR and homodimeric with both NADPH- and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-binding domains containing variants of the canonical nucleotide binding fold, the Rossmann fold. The K(m) (5.7 muM) of D. radiodurans TrxR for D. radiodurans Trx was determined and is about twofold higher than that of the E. coli thioredoxin system. However, D. radiodurans TrxR has a much lower affinity for E. coli Trx (K(m), 44.4 muM). Subtle differences in the surface charge and shape of the Trx binding site on TrxR may account for the differences in recognition. Because it has been suggested that TrxR from D. radiodurans may have dual cofactor specificity (can utilize both NADH and NADPH), D. radiodurans TrxR was tested for its ability to utilize NADH as well. Our results show that D. radiodurans TrxR can utilize only NADPH for activity.
