GTP Preference of d-Glycero-?-d-manno-Heptose-1-Phosphate Guanylyltransferase from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis.

ABSTRACT: d-glycero-?-d-manno-heptose-1-phosphate guanylyltransferase (HddC) is the fourth enzyme synthesizing a building component of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria. Since HddC is a potential new target to develop antibiotics, the analysis of the structural and functional relationship of the complex structure will lead to a better idea to design inhibitory compounds. X-ray crystallography and biochemical experiments to elucidate the guanine preference were performed based on the multiple sequence alignment. The crystal structure of HddC from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (YPT) complexed with guanosine 5'-(?-amino)-diphosphate (GMPPN) has been determined at 1.55 Å resolution. Meanwhile, the mutants revealed their reduced guanine affinity, instead of acquiring noticeable pyrimidine affinity. The complex crystal structure revealed that GMPPN is docked in the catalytic site with the aid of Glu80 positioning on the conserved motif EXXPLGTGGA. In the HddC family, this motif is expected to recruit nucleotides through interacting with bases. The crystal structure shows that oxygen atoms of Glu80 forming two hydrogen bonds play a critical role in interaction with two nitrogen atoms of the guanine base of GMPPN. Interestingly, the binding of GMPPN induced the formation of an oxyanion hole-like conformation on the L(S/A/G)X(S/G) motif and consequently influenced on inducing a conformational shift of the region around Ser55.

Project description:D-Glycero-d-manno-heptose-1,7-bisphosphate phosphatase (GmhB) is a member of the histidinol-phosphate phosphatase (HisB) subfamily of the haloalkanoic acid dehalogenase (HAD) enzyme superfamily. GmhB supports two divergent biochemical pathways in bacteria: the d-glycero-d-manno-heptose-1alpha-GDP pathway (in S-layer glycoprotein biosynthesis) and the l-glycero-d-manno-heptose-1beta-ADP pathway (in lipid A biosynthesis). Herein, we report the comparative analysis of substrate recognition in selected GmhB orthologs. The substrate specificity of the l-glycero-d-manno-heptose-1beta-ADP pathway GmhB from Escherichia coli K-12 was evaluated using hexose and heptose bisphosphates, histidinol phosphate, and common organophosphate metabolites. Only d-glycero-d-manno-heptose 1beta,7-bisphosphate (k(cat)/K(m) = 7 x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1)) and d-glycero-d-manno-heptose 1alpha,7-bisphosphate (k(cat)/K(m) = 7 x 10(4) M(-1) s(-1)) displayed physiologically significant substrate activity. (31)P NMR analysis demonstrated that E. coli GmhB selectively removes the C(7) phosphate. Steady-state kinetic inhibition studies showed that d-glycero-d-manno-heptose 1beta-phosphate (K(is) = 60 microM, and K(ii) = 150 microM) and histidinol phosphate (K(is) = 1 mM, and K(ii) = 6 mM), while not hydrolyzed, do in fact bind to E. coli GmhB, which leads to the conclusion that nonproductive binding contributes to substrate discrimination. High catalytic efficiency and a narrow substrate range are characteristic of a well-evolved metabolic enzyme, and as such, E. coli GmhB is set apart from most HAD phosphatases (which are typically inefficient and promiscuous). The specialization of the biochemical function of GmhB was examined by measuring the kinetic constants for hydrolysis of the alpha- and beta-anomers of d-glycero-d-manno-heptose 1beta,7-bisphosphate catalyzed by the GmhB orthologs of the l-glycero-d-manno-heptose 1beta-ADP pathways operative in Bordetella bronchiseptica and Mesorhizobium loti and by the GmhB of the d-glycero-d-manno-heptose 1alpha-GDP pathway operative in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. The results show that although each of these representatives possesses physiologically significant catalytic activity toward both anomers, each displays substantial anomeric specificity. Like E. coli GmhB, B. bronchiseptica GmhB and M. loti GmhB prefer the beta-anomer, whereas B. thetaiotaomicron GmhB is selective for the alpha-anomer. By determining the anomeric configuration of the physiological substrate (d-glycero-d-manno-heptose 1,7-bisphosphate) for each of the four GmhB orthologs, we discovered that the anomeric specificity of GmhB correlates with that of the pathway kinase. The conclusion drawn from this finding is that the evolution of the ancestor to GmhB in the HisB subfamily provided for specialization toward two distinct biochemical functions.
