Crystal structure of Rv3378c with Mg2+ and PPi
Structural highlights
FunctionTUBAT_MYCTU Tuberculosinyl transferase that catalyzes the condensation of adenosine and tuberculosinyl diphosphate (TbPP) to generate 1-tuberculosinyladenosine (1-TbAd), which acts as an antiacid that directly protects M.tuberculosis from acid pH and physically remodels M.tuberculosis phagolysosomes (PubMed:24516143, PubMed:31427817). In addition, acts as a phosphatase that catalyzes the diphosphate-removal from TbPP to produce both tuberculosinol (TOH) and isotuberculosinol (iso-TOH) (PubMed:21228491, PubMed:24475925). Has broad substrate specificity, and can also use the 3 labdadienyl diphosphates, copalyl diphosphate (CDP), ent-CDP and syn-CDP in vitro (PubMed:21290071).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Publication Abstract from PubMedWe have obtained the structure of the bacterial diterpene synthase, tuberculosinol/iso-tuberculosinol synthase (Rv3378c) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis , a target for anti-infective therapies that block virulence factor formation. This phosphatase adopts the same fold as found in the Z- or cis-prenyltransferases. We also obtained structures containing the tuberculosinyl diphosphate substrate together with one bisphosphonate inhibitor-bound structure. These structures together with the results of site-directed mutagenesis suggest an unusual mechanism of action involving two Tyr residues. Given the similarity in local and global structure between Rv3378c and the M. tuberculosis cis-decaprenyl diphosphate synthase (DPPS; Rv2361c), the possibility exists for the development of inhibitors that target not only virulence but also cell wall biosynthesis, based in part on the structures reported here.
