NAD+-dependent (R)-2-Hydroxyglutarate Dehydrogenase from Acidaminococcus fermentans

Overview

NAD(+)-dependent (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase (HGDH) catalyses the, reduction of 2-oxoglutarate to (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate and belongs to the, d-2-hydroxyacid NAD(+)-dependent dehydrogenase (d-2-hydroxyacid, dehydrogenase) protein family. Its crystal structure was determined by, phase combination to 1.98 A resolution. Structure-function relationships, obtained by the comparison of HGDH with other members of the, d-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase family give a chemically satisfying view of, the substrate stereoselectivity and catalytic requirements for the hydride, transfer reaction. A model for substrate recognition and turnover is, discussed. The HGDH active site architecture is structurally optimized to, recognize and bind the negatively charged substrate 2-oxoglutarate. The, structural position of the side chain of Arg52, and its counterparts in, other family members, strongly correlates with substrate specificity, towards substitutions at the C3 atom (linear or branched substrates)., Arg235 interacts with the substrate's alpha-carboxylate and carbonyl, groups, having a dual role in both substrate binding and activation, and, the gamma-carboxylate group can dock at an arginine cluster. The, proton-relay system built up by Glu264 and His297 permits His297 to act as, acid-base catalyst and the 4Re-hydrogen from NADH is transferred as, hydride to the carbonyl group Si-face leading to the formation of the, correct enantiomer (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate.
