STRUCTURE DETERMINANTS OF SUBSTRATE SPECIFICITY OF HYDROXYNITRILE LYASE FROM MANIHOT ESCULENTA
Overview
Tryptophan 128 of hydroxynitrile lyase of Manihot esculenta (MeHNL) covers, a significant part of a hydrophobic channel that gives access to the, active site of the enzyme. This residue was therefore substituted in the, mutant MeHNL-W128A by alanine to study its importance for the substrate, specificity of the enzyme. Wild-type MeHNL and MeHNL-W128A showed, comparable activity on the natural substrate acetone cyanohydrin (53 and, 40 U/mg, respectively). However, the specific activities of MeHNL-W128A, for the unnatural substrates mandelonitrile and 4-hydroxymandelonitrile, are increased 9-fold and approximately 450-fold, respectively, compared, with the wild-type MeHNL. The crystal structure of the MeHNL-W128A, substrate-free form at 2.1 A resolution indicates that the W128A, substitution has significantly enlarged the active-site channel entrance, and thereby explains the observed changes in substrate specificity for, bulky substrates. Surprisingly, the MeHNL-W128A--4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, complex structure at 2.1 A resolution shows the presence of two, hydroxybenzaldehyde molecules in a sandwich type arrangement in the active, site with an additional hydrogen bridge to the reacting center.
