Crystal Structure of human O-GlcNAcase in complex with glycopeptide p53
Structural highlights
FunctionOGA_HUMAN Isoform 1: Cleaves GlcNAc but not GalNAc from O-glycosylated proteins. Can use p-nitrophenyl-beta-GlcNAc and 4-methylumbelliferone-GlcNAc as substrates but not p-nitrophenyl-beta-GalNAc or p-nitrophenyl-alpha-GlcNAc (in vitro) (PubMed:11148210). Does not bind acetyl-CoA and does not have histone acetyltransferase activity (PubMed:24088714).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Isoform 3: Cleaves GlcNAc but not GalNAc from O-glycosylated proteins. Can use p-nitrophenyl-beta-GlcNAc as substrate but not p-nitrophenyl-beta-GalNAc or p-nitrophenyl-alpha-GlcNAc (in vitro), but has about six times lower specific activity than isoform 1.[6] Publication Abstract from PubMedHuman O-GlcNAcase (hOGA) is the unique enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of the O-linked beta-N-acetyl glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) modification, an essential protein glycosylation event that modulates the function of numerous cellular proteins in response to nutrients and stress. Here we report crystal structures of a truncated hOGA, which comprises the catalytic and stalk domains, in apo form, in complex with an inhibitor, and in complex with a glycopeptide substrate. We found that hOGA forms an unusual arm-in-arm homodimer in which the catalytic domain of one monomer is covered by the stalk domain of the sister monomer to create a substrate-binding cleft. Notably, the residues on the cleft surface afford extensive interactions with the peptide substrate in a recognition mode that is distinct from that of its bacterial homologs. These structures represent the first model of eukaryotic enzymes in the glycoside hydrolase 84 (GH84) family and provide a crucial starting point for understanding the substrate specificity of hOGA, which regulates a broad range of biological and pathological processes. Structures of human O-GlcNAcase and its complexes reveal a new substrate recognition mode.,Li B, Li H, Lu L, Jiang J Nat Struct Mol Biol. 2017 Mar 20. doi: 10.1038/nsmb.3390.
