The crystal structure of Mandelate oxidase mutant Y128F with L-Lactate
Structural highlights
FunctionHMO_AMYOR Catalyzes the oxidation of p-hydroxymandelate to p-hydroxybenzoylformate in the biosynthesis of L-(4-hydroxyphenyl)glycine and L-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)glycine, 2 non-proteinogenic amino acids occurring in the vancomycin group of antibiotics.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedp-Hydroxymandelate oxidase (Hmo) is a flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-dependent enzyme that oxidizes mandelate to benzoylformate. How the FMN-dependent oxidation is executed by Hmo remains unclear at the molecular level. A continuum of snapshots from crystal structures of Hmo and its mutants in complex with physiological/nonphysiological substrates, products and inhibitors provides a rationale for its substrate enantioselectivity/promiscuity, its active-site geometry/reactivity and its direct hydride-transfer mechanism. A single mutant, Y128F, that extends the two-electron oxidation reaction to a four-electron oxidative decarboxylation reaction was unexpectedly observed. Biochemical and structural approaches, including biochemistry, kinetics, stable isotope labeling and X-ray crystallography, were exploited to reach these conclusions and provide additional insights. Biochemical and structural explorations of alpha-hydroxyacid oxidases reveal a four-electron oxidative decarboxylation reaction.,Yeh HW, Lin KH, Lyu SY, Li YS, Huang CM, Wang YL, Shih HW, Hsu NS, Wu CJ, Li TL Acta Crystallogr D Struct Biol. 2019 Aug 1;75(Pt 8):733-742. doi:, 10.1107/S2059798319009574.
