Structural basis of the bifunctionality of M. salinexigens ZYF650T glucosylglycerol phosphorylase in glucosylglycerol catabolism
Structural highlights
FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMed2-O-alpha-Glucosylglycerol (GG) is a natural heteroside synthesized by many cyanobacteria and a few heterotrophic bacteria under salt stress conditions. Bacteria produce GG in response to stimuli and degrade it once the stimulus diminishes. Heterotrophic bacteria utilize GG phosphorylase (GGP), a member of the GH13_18 family, via a two-step process consisting of phosphorolysis and hydrolysis for GG catabolism. However, the precise mechanism by which GGP degrades GG remains elusive. We determined the 3D structure of a recently identified GGP (MsGGP) of the deep-sea bacterium Marinobacter salinexigens ZYF650(T), in complex with glucose and glycerol, alpha-d-glucose-1-phosphate (alphaGlc1-P), and orthophosphate (inorganic phosphate) at resolutions of 2.5, 2.7, and 2.7 A, respectively. Notably, the first alphaGlc1-P complex structure in the GH13_18 family, the complex of MsGGP and alphaGlc1-P, validates that GGP catalyzes GG decomposition through consecutive phosphorolysis and hydrolysis. In addition, the structure reveals the mechanism of high stereoselectivity on alphaGlc1-P. Glu231 and Asp190 were identified as the catalytic residues. Interestingly, these structures closely resemble each other, indicating minimal conformational changes upon binding end-product glucose and glycerol, or the intermediate alphaGlc1-P. The structures also indicate that the substrates may follow a specific trajectory and a precise order toward the active center in close proximity and in a geometrically favorable orientation for catalysis in a double displacement mechanism.
