Enzyme modification using mutation site prediction method for enhancing the regioselectivity of substrate reaction sites.

ABSTRACT: Enzymes with low regioselectivity of substrate reaction sites may produce multiple products from a single substrate. When a target product is produced industrially using these enzymes, the production of non-target products (byproducts) causes adverse effects such as increased processing costs for purification and the amount of raw material. Thus it is required the development of modified enzymes to reduce the amount of byproducts' production. In this paper, we report a method called mutation site prediction for enhancing the regioselectivity of substrate reaction sites (MSPER). MSPER takes conformational data for docking poses of an enzyme and a substrate as input and automatically generates a ranked list of mutation sites to destabilize docking poses for byproducts while maintaining those for target products in silico. We applied MSPER to the enzyme cytochrome P450 CYP102A1 (BM3) and the two substrates to enhance the regioselectivity for four target products with different reaction sites. The 13 of the total 14 top-ranked mutation sites predicted by MSPER for the four target products succeeded in selectively enhancing the regioselectivity up to 6.4-fold. The results indicate that MSPER can distinguish differences of substrate structures and the reaction sites, and can accurately predict mutation sites to enhance regioselectivity without selection by directed evolution screening.

Regioselectivity of Cobalamin-Dependent Methyltransferase Can Be Tuned by Reaction Conditions and Substrate.

Project description:Regioselective reactions represent a significant challenge for organic chemistry. Here the regioselective methylation of a single hydroxy group of 4-substituted catechols was investigated employing the cobalamin-dependent methyltransferase from Desulfitobacterium hafniense. Catechols substituted in position four were methylated either in meta- or para-position to the substituent depending whether the substituent was polar or apolar. While the biocatalytic cobalamin dependent methylation was meta-selective with 4-substituted catechols bearing hydrophilic groups, it was para-selective for hydrophobic substituents. Furthermore, the presence of water miscible co-solvents had a clear improving influence, whereby THF turned out to enable the formation of a single regioisomer in selected cases. Finally, it was found that also the pH led to an enhancement of regioselectivity for the cases investigated.

Thioredoxin A active-site mutants form mixed disulfide dimers that resemble enzyme-substrate reaction intermediates.

Project description:Thioredoxin functions in nearly all organisms as the major thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase within the cytosol. Its prime purpose is to maintain cysteine-containing proteins in the reduced state by converting intramolecular disulfide bonds into dithiols in a disulfide exchange reaction. Thioredoxin has been reported to contribute to a wide variety of physiological functions by interacting with specific sets of substrates in different cell types. To investigate the function of the essential thioredoxin A (TrxA) in the low-GC Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis, we purified wild-type TrxA and three mutant TrxA proteins that lack either one or both of the two cysteine residues in the CxxC active site. The pure proteins were used for substrate-binding studies known as "mixed disulfide fishing" in which covalent disulfide-bonded reaction intermediates can be visualized. An unprecedented finding is that both active-site cysteine residues can form mixed disulfides with substrate proteins when the other active-site cysteine is absent, but only the N-terminal active-site cysteine forms stable interactions. A second novelty is that both single-cysteine mutant TrxA proteins form stable homodimers due to thiol oxidation of the remaining active-site cysteine residue. To investigate whether these dimers resemble mixed enzyme-substrate disulfides, the structure of the most abundant dimer, C32S, was characterized by X-ray crystallography. This yielded a high-resolution (1.5A) X-ray crystallographic structure of a thioredoxin homodimer from a low-GC Gram-positive bacterium. The C32S TrxA dimer can be regarded as a mixed disulfide reaction intermediate of thioredoxin, which reveals the diversity of thioredoxin/substrate-binding modes.

Mechanism and Catalytic Site Atlas (M-CSA): a database of enzyme reaction mechanisms and active sites.

Project description:M-CSA (Mechanism and Catalytic Site Atlas) is a database of enzyme active sites and reaction mechanisms that can be accessed at www.ebi.ac.uk/thornton-srv/m-csa. Our objectives with M-CSA are to provide an open data resource for the community to browse known enzyme reaction mechanisms and catalytic sites, and to use the dataset to understand enzyme function and evolution. M-CSA results from the merging of two existing databases, MACiE (Mechanism, Annotation and Classification in Enzymes), a database of enzyme mechanisms, and CSA (Catalytic Site Atlas), a database of catalytic sites of enzymes. We are releasing M-CSA as a new website and underlying database architecture. At the moment, M-CSA contains 961 entries, 423 of these with detailed mechanism information, and 538 with information on the catalytic site residues only. In total, these cover 81% (195/241) of third level EC numbers with a PDB structure, and 30% (840/2793) of fourth level EC numbers with a PDB structure, out of 6028 in total. By searching for close homologues, we are able to extend M-CSA coverage of PDB and UniProtKB to 51 993 structures and to over five million sequences, respectively, of which about 40% and 30% have a conserved active site.

Effects of Active-Site Modification and Quaternary Structure on the Regioselectivity of Catechol-O-Methyltransferase.

Project description:Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), an important therapeutic target in the treatment of Parkinson's disease, is also being developed for biocatalytic processes, including vanillin production, although lack of regioselectivity has precluded its more widespread application. By using structural and mechanistic information, regiocomplementary COMT variants were engineered that deliver either meta- or para-methylated catechols. X-ray crystallography further revealed how the active-site residues and quaternary structure govern regioselectivity. Finally, analogues of AdoMet are accepted by the regiocomplementary COMT mutants and can be used to prepare alkylated catechols, including ethyl vanillin.

Simultaneous measurement of CYP1A2 activity, regioselectivity, and coupling: Implications for environmental sensitivity of enzyme-substrate binding.

Project description:The cytochrome P450 (CYP) reaction mechanism often yields a broad array of coupled and uncoupled products from a single substrate. While it is well known that reaction conditions can drastically affect the rate of P450 catalysis, their effects on regioselectivity and coupling are not well characterized. To investigate such effects, the CYP1A2 oxidation of 7-ethoxymethoxy-3-cyanocoumarin (EOMCC) was examined as a function of buffer type, buffer concentration, pH, and temperature. A high-throughput, optical method was developed to simultaneously measure the rate of substrate depletion, NADPH depletion, and generation of the O-dealkylated product. Increasing the phosphate buffer concentration and temperature increased both the NADPH and EOMCC depletion rates by 6-fold, whereas coupling was constant at 7.9% and the regioselectivity of O-dealkylation to other coupled pathways was constant at 21.7%. Varying the buffer type and pH increased NADPH depletion by 2.5-fold and EOMCC depletion by 3.5-fold; however, neither coupling nor regioselectivity was constant, with variations of 14.4% and 21.6%, respectively. Because the enzyme-substrate binding interaction is a primary determinant of both coupling and regioselectivity, it is reasonable to conclude that ionic strength, as varied by the buffer concentration, and temperature alter the rate without affecting binding while buffer type and pH alter both.

Use of chemical modification and mass spectrometry to identify substrate-contacting sites in proteinaceous RNase P, a tRNA processing enzyme.

Project description:Among all enzymes in nature, RNase P is unique in that it can use either an RNA- or a protein-based active site for its function: catalyzing cleavage of the 5'-leader from precursor tRNAs (pre-tRNAs). The well-studied catalytic RNase P RNA uses a specificity module to recognize the pre-tRNA and a catalytic module to perform cleavage. Similarly, the recently discovered proteinaceous RNase P (PRORP) possesses two domains - pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) and metallonuclease (NYN) - that are present in some other RNA processing factors. Here, we combined chemical modification of lysines and multiple-reaction monitoring mass spectrometry to identify putative substrate-contacting residues in Arabidopsis thaliana PRORP1 (AtPRORP1), and subsequently validated these candidate sites by site-directed mutagenesis. Using biochemical studies to characterize the wild-type (WT) and mutant derivatives, we found that AtPRORP1 exploits specific lysines strategically positioned at the tips of it's V-shaped arms, in the first PPR motif and in the NYN domain proximal to the catalytic center, to bind and cleave pre-tRNA. Our results confirm that the protein- and RNA-based forms of RNase P have distinct modules for substrate recognition and cleavage, an unanticipated parallel in their mode of action.

Membrane Allostery and Unique Hydrophobic Sites Promote Enzyme Substrate Specificity.

Project description:We demonstrate that lipidomics coupled with molecular dynamics reveal unique phospholipase A2 specificity toward membrane phospholipid substrates. We discovered unexpected headgroup and acyl-chain specificity for three major human phospholipases A2. The differences between each enzyme's specificity, coupled with molecular dynamics-based structural and binding studies, revealed unique binding sites and interfacial surface binding moieties for each enzyme that explain the observed specificity at a hitherto inaccessible structural level. Surprisingly, we discovered that a unique hydrophobic binding site for the cleaved fatty acid dominates each enzyme's specificity rather than its catalytic residues and polar headgroup binding site. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed the optimal phospholipid binding mode leading to a detailed understanding of the preference of cytosolic phospholipase A2 for cleavage of proinflammatory arachidonic acid, calcium-independent phospholipase A2, which is involved in membrane remodeling for cleavage of linoleic acid and for antibacterial secreted phospholipase A2 favoring linoleic acid, saturated fatty acids, and phosphatidylglycerol.

Deconstructing the DGAT1 enzyme: membrane interactions at substrate binding sites.

Project description:Diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) is a key enzyme in the triacylglyceride synthesis pathway. Bovine DGAT1 is an endoplasmic reticulum membrane-bound protein associated with the regulation of fat content in milk and meat. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interaction of DGAT1 peptides corresponding to putative substrate binding sites with different types of model membranes. Whilst these peptides are predicted to be located in an extramembranous loop of the membrane-bound protein, their hydrophobic substrates are membrane-bound molecules. In this study, peptides corresponding to the binding sites of the two substrates involved in the reaction were examined in the presence of model membranes in order to probe potential interactions between them that might influence the subsequent binding of the substrates. Whilst the conformation of one of the peptides changed upon binding several types of micelles regardless of their surface charge, suggesting binding to hydrophobic domains, the other peptide bound strongly to negatively-charged model membranes. This binding was accompanied by a change in conformation, and produced leakage of the liposome-entrapped dye calcein. The different hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions observed suggest the peptides may be involved in the interactions of the enzyme with membrane surfaces, facilitating access of the catalytic histidine to the triacylglycerol substrates.

An experimental method to determine the substrate protection of enzyme against deactivation in a reversible reaction.

Project description:The substrate protection effect on an enzyme in a reversible reaction was studied by using glucose isomerase immobilized in small particles (radius less than 100 micron). Deactivation of the enzyme at various substrate concentrations in Tris buffer, pH 8.25, at 62.1 degrees C was studied in eight-column reactor sets. At set times the immobilized enzyme in one of the eight reactors was taken out and rinsed thoroughly, and then its residual activity was determined. The conclusions are, first, that the protection by the reactant is equal to the protection by the product, and, secondly, that the half-life of the enzyme increases slowly at high sugar concentrations. Thus the experimental method described here appears to be a useful one for the determination of substrate protection of enzyme deactivation in reversible reactions.

Computational exploration for possible reaction pathways, regioselectivity, and influence of substrate in gold-catalyzed cycloaddition of cyanamides with enynamides.

Project description:The current work focuses on the DFT calculation of the rational mechanism and catalytic activity of the gold(i)-catalyzed isotetradehydro-Diels-Alder cycloaddition of cyanamides and enamides to substituted 2,6-diaminopyridines. IPrAuCl is used as a model catalyst to catalyze cyanamide and enynamide reactants with different substituents in DCM as a research system. DFT data indicates that the catalytic cycle starts from the triple bond coordination between the catalyst's gold cation and the enamide to obtain the gold π-complex, and the cyanamide attacks the alkynyl carbon atom from different directions to generate two reaction channels of five-membered and six-membered heterocycles, respectively. The calculation results show that the 2,6-diaminopyridine compounds produced by this catalytic reaction have lower activation energy and higher reactivity, that is, the pyridine skeleton structure can be easily obtained under mild reaction conditions. At the same time, electron-withdrawing substituents in the reactants are more helpful for the reaction. In addition to being in good agreement with the experimental data, the calculated results also provide an important contribution to the further understanding of the mechanism of such reactions.
