The binding of the coenzyme pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and analogues of the substrate-coenzyme complex to tyrosine decarboxylase.

ABSTRACT: Phosphopyridoxyl derivatives, which are stable analogues of a substrate-coenzyme complex, are bound at the active site with great affinity. From a comparison of the interaction of a number of such compounds with the apoenzyme the delta G0 values for the binding of the substrate carboxy and phenyl groups and of the coenzyme aldehydic group were determined to be equal to (or more negative than) -3.8. -8.4 and -12.5kJ/mol (-0.9, -1.9 and -3kcal/mol) respectively; the delta G0 for the binding of the coenzyme phosphate group was shown to be more negative than -20.5kJ/mol (-4.9kcal/mol). Two features of the binding process of the coenzyme-substrate analogues to tyrosine decarboxylase have already been found in the case of tyrosine aminotransferase [Borri-Voltattorni, Orlacchio, Giartosio, Conti & Turano (1975) Eur. J. Biochem. 53, 151-160]: (1) in the binding of the substrate to the enzyme a significant fraction of the instrinsic delta G0 appears to be used for some associated endoergonic process; (2) the delta H0 and delta S0 of binding appear to be very sensitive indicators of the correct alignment of the substrate-coenzyme and analogues at the active site.

Crystal Structure and Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate Binding Property of Lysine Decarboxylase from Selenomonas ruminantium.

Project description:Lysine decarboxylase (LDC) is a crucial enzyme for acid stress resistance and is also utilized for the biosynthesis of cadaverine, a promising building block for bio-based polyamides. We determined the crystal structure of LDC from Selenomonas ruminantium (SrLDC). SrLDC functions as a dimer and each monomer consists of two distinct domains; a PLP-binding barrel domain and a sheet domain. We also determined the structure of SrLDC in complex with PLP and cadaverine and elucidated the binding mode of cofactor and substrate. Interestingly, compared with the apo-form of SrLDC, the SrLDC in complex with PLP and cadaverine showed a remarkable structural change at the PLP binding site. The PLP binding site of SrLDC contains the highly flexible loops with high b-factors and showed an open-closed conformational change upon the binding of PLP. In fact, SrLDC showed no LDC activity without PLP supplement, and we suggest that highly flexible PLP binding site results in low PLP affinity of SrLDC. In addition, other structurally homologous enzymes also contain the flexible PLP binding site, which indicates that high flexibility at the PLP binding site and low PLP affinity seems to be a common feature of these enzyme family.

Inactivation of NEIL2 DNA glycosylase by pyridoxal phosphate reveals a loop important for substrate binding.

Project description:Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP), in addition to its known metabolic functions, inactivates many DNA-dependent enzymes through conjugation to their critical amino groups. We have investigated the ability of PLP to inhibit bifunctional DNA repair glycosylases, which possess a catalytic amine. Of six enzymes tested, only endonuclease VIII-like protein 2 (NEIL2) was significantly inhibited by PLP. The inhibition was due to Schiff base formation between PLP and the enzyme. PLP-conjugated NEIL2 completely lost its ability to bind damaged DNA. Liquid chromatography/nanoelectrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry of the products of proteolysis of pyridoxylated NEIL2 identified Lys50 as the site of modification. Thus, the beta2/beta3 loop where Lys50 is located in NEIL2 is important for DNA binding, presumably lies next to a phosphate-binding site, and may represent a target for regulation of the enzyme activity.

Internal proton transfer in the external pyridoxal 5'-phosphate Schiff base in dopa decarboxylase.

Project description:Combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical (QM/MM) simulations of dopa decarboxylase have been carried out to elucidate the factors that contribute to the tautomeric equilibrium of the intramolecular proton transfer in the external PLP-L-dopa Schiff base. The presence of a carboxylate anion on the alpha-carbon of the Schiff base stabilizes the zwitterions and shifts the equilibrium in favor of the oxoenamine tautomer (protonated Schiff base). Moreover, protonation of the PLP pyridine nitrogen further drives the equilibrium toward the oxoenamine direction. On the other hand, solvent effects favor the hydroxyimine configuration, although the equilibrium favors the oxoenamine isomer with a methyl group as the substituent on the imino nitrogen. In dopa decarboxylase, the hydroxyimine form of the PLP(H+)-L-dopa Schiff base is predicted to be the major isomer with a relative free energy of -1.3 kcal/mol over that of the oxoenamine isomer. Both Asp271 and Lys303 stabilize the hydroxyimine configuration through hydrogen-bonding interactions with the pyridine nitrogen of the PLP and the imino nitrogen of the Schiff base, respectively. Interestingly, Thr246 plays a double role in the intramolecular proton transfer process, in which it initially donates a hydrogen bond to the phenolate oxygen in the oxoenamine configuration and then switches to a hydrogen bond acceptor from the phenolic hydroxyl group in the hydroxyimine tautomer.

Coenzyme Q10 and Pyridoxal Phosphate Deficiency Is a Common Feature in Mucopolysaccharidosis Type III.

Project description:Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of lysosomal storage disorders caused by deficiencies of lysosomal enzymes catalyzing degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Previously, we reported a secondary plasma coenzyme Q10 (CoQ) deficiency in MPS patients. For this study, nine MPS patients were recruited in the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu (HSJD, Barcelona) and two patients in the Neurometabolic Unit, National Hospital (NMU, London), to explore the nutritional status of MPS type III patients by analyzing several vitamins and micronutrients in blood and in cerebrospinal fluid. Plasma CoQ and plasma and cerebrospinal fluid pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) content were analyzed by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with electrochemical and fluorescence detection, respectively. We found that most MPS-III patients disclosed low plasma pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) values (seven out of nine) and also low plasma CoQ concentrations (eight out of nine). We observed significantly lower median values of PLP, tocopherol, and CoQ (Mann-Whitney U test, p?=?0.006, p?=?0.004, and p?= 0.001, respectively) in MPS patients when compared with age-matched controls. Chi-square test showed a significant association between the fact of having low plasma PLP and CoQ values in the whole cohort of patients. Cerebrospinal fluid PLP values were clearly deficient in the two patients studied. In conclusion, we report a combined CoQ and PLP deficiency in MPS-III patients. These observations could be related to the complexity of the physiopathology of the disease. If our results are confirmed in larger series of patients, CoQ and PLP therapy could be trialed as coadjuvant therapy with the current MPS treatments.

Structure of a bacterial pyridoxal 5'-phosphate synthase complex.

Project description:Vitamin B6 is an essential metabolic cofactor that has more functions in humans than any other single nutrient. Its de novo biosynthesis occurs through two mutually exclusive pathways that are absent in animals. The predominant pathway found in most prokaryotes, fungi, and plants has only recently been discovered. It is distinguished by a glutamine amidotransferase, which is remarkable in that it alone can synthesize the cofactor form, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), directly from a triose and a pentose saccharide and glutamine. Here we report the 3D structure of the PLP synthase complex with substrate glutamine bound as well as those of the individual synthase and glutaminase subunits Pdx1 and Pdx2, respectively. The complex is made up of 24 protein units assembled like a cogwheel, a dodecameric Pdx1 to which 12 Pdx2 subunits attach. In contrast to the architecture of previously determined glutamine amidotransferases, macromolecular assembly is directed by an N-terminal alpha-helix on the synthase. Interaction with the synthase subunit leads to glutaminase activation, resulting in formation of an oxyanion hole, a prerequisite for catalysis. Mutagenesis permitted identification of the remote glutaminase and synthase catalytic centers and led us to propose a mechanism whereby ammonia shuttles between these active sites through a methionine-rich hydrophobic tunnel.

Lysine Decarboxylase with an Enhanced Affinity for Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate by Disulfide Bond-Mediated Spatial Reconstitution.

Project description:Lysine decarboxylase (LDC) catalyzes the decarboxylation of l-lysine to produce cadaverine, an important industrial platform chemical for bio-based polyamides. However, due to high flexibility at the pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP) binding site, use of the enzyme for cadaverine production requires continuous supplement of large amounts of PLP. In order to develop an LDC enzyme from Selenomonas ruminantium (SrLDC) with an enhanced affinity for PLP, we introduced an internal disulfide bond between Ala225 and Thr302 residues with a desire to retain the PLP binding site in a closed conformation. The SrLDCA225C/T302C mutant showed a yellow color and the characteristic UV/Vis absorption peaks for enzymes with bound PLP, and exhibited three-fold enhanced PLP affinity compared with the wild-type SrLDC. The mutant also exhibited a dramatically enhanced LDC activity and cadaverine conversion particularly under no or low PLP concentrations. Moreover, introduction of the disulfide bond rendered SrLDC more resistant to high pH and temperature. The formation of the introduced disulfide bond and the maintenance of the PLP binding site in the closed conformation were confirmed by determination of the crystal structure of the mutant. This study shows that disulfide bond-mediated spatial reconstitution can be a platform technology for development of enzymes with enhanced PLP affinity.

Large-scale domain motions and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate assisted radical catalysis in coenzyme B12-dependent aminomutases.

Project description:Lysine 5,6-aminomutase (5,6-LAM) and ornithine 4,5-aminomutase (4,5-OAM) are two of the rare enzymes that use assistance of two vitamins as cofactors. These enzymes employ radical generating capability of coenzyme B12 (5'-deoxyadenosylcobalamin, dAdoCbl) and ability of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP, vitamin B6) to stabilize high-energy intermediates for performing challenging 1,2-amino rearrangements between adjacent carbons. A large-scale domain movement is required for interconversion between the catalytically inactive open form and the catalytically active closed form. In spite of all the similarities, these enzymes differ in substrate specificities. 4,5-OAM is highly specific for D-ornithine as a substrate while 5,6-LAM can accept D-lysine and L-?-lysine. This review focuses on recent computational, spectroscopic and structural studies of these enzymes and their implications on the related enzymes. Additionally, we also discuss the potential biosynthetic application of 5,6-LAM.

Pyridoxal phosphate-sensitized photoinactivation of glutamate decarboxylase from Clostridium perfringens.

Project description:1. l-Glutamate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.15) from Clostridium perfringens was inactivated by exposure to visible light at pH6.2. 2. Inactivation does not occur at pH4.6 or in the absence of bound pyridoxal phosphate. 3. On prolonged photo-oxidation six histidine residues per molecule of enzyme were destroyed. 4. The loss of six cysteine residues per molecule occurred both in irradiated samples and in controls oxygenated in the dark. 5. This dark-oxidation of cysteine residues is apparently required before the photo-oxidation process. 6. The absorbance, fluorescence and circular-dichroism properties of the enzyme as well as its elution volume during Sephadex gel-filtration were unaffected by prolonged irradiation. 7. However, an apparently homogeneous product of photo-oxidation could be separated from the control enzyme by ion-exchange chromatography. 8. The K(m) for l-glutamate was unchanged in an irradiated sample retaining 22% of control activity. 9. These data and the catalytic role of imidazole residues at the active sites of amino acid decarboxylases are discussed.

Crystal structure of tyrosine decarboxylase and identification of key residues involved in conformational swing and substrate binding.

Project description:Tyrosine decarboxylase (TDC) is a pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme and is mainly responsible for the synthesis of tyramine, an important biogenic amine. In this study, the crystal structures of the apo and holo forms of Lactobacillus brevis TDC (LbTDC) were determined. The LbTDC displays only 25% sequence identity with the only reported TDC structure. Site-directed mutagenesis of the conformationally flexible sites and catalytic center was performed to investigate the potential catalytic mechanism. It was found that H241 in the active site plays an important role in PLP binding because it has different conformations in the apo and holo structures of LbTDC. After binding to PLP, H241 rotated to the position adjacent to the PLP pyridine ring. Alanine scanning mutagenesis revealed several crucial regions that determine the substrate specificity and catalytic activity. Among the mutants, the S586A variant displayed increased catalytic efficiency and substrate affinity, which is attributed to decreased steric hindrance and increased hydrophobicity, as verified by the saturation mutagenesis at S586. Our results provide structural information about the residues important for the protein engineering of TDC to improve catalytic efficiency in the green manufacturing of tyramine.

Protein Engineering of a Pyridoxal-5'-Phosphate-Dependent l-Aspartate-?-Decarboxylase from Tribolium castaneum for ?-Alanine Production.

Project description:In the present study, a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent L-aspartate-?-decarboxylase from Tribolium castaneum (TcPanD) was selected for protein engineering to efficiently produce ?-alanine. A mutant TcPanD-R98H/K305S with a 2.45-fold higher activity than the wide type was selected through error-prone PCR, site-saturation mutagenesis, and 96-well plate screening technologies. The characterization of purified enzyme TcPanD-R98H/K305S showed that the optimal cofactor PLP concentration, temperature, and pH were 0.04% (m/v), 50 °C, and 7.0, respectively. The 1mM of Na+, Ni2+, Co2+, K+, and Ca2+ stimulated the activity of TcPanD-R98H/K305S, while only 5 mM of Ni2+ and Na+ could increase its activity. The kinetic analysis indicated that TcPanD-R98H/K305S had a higher substrate affinity and enzymatic reaction rate than the wild enzyme. A total of 267 g/L substrate l-aspartic acid was consumed and 170.5 g/L of ?-alanine with a molar conversion of 95.5% was obtained under the optimal condition and 5-L reactor fermentation.
