Crystal Structure of the ECH2 decarboxylase domain of CurF from Lyngbya majuscula

Overview

Curacin A is a mixed polyketide/nonribosomal peptide possessing, anti-mitotic and anti-proliferative activity. In the biosynthesis of, curacin A, the N-terminal domain of the CurF multifunctional protein, catalyzes decarboxylation of 3-methylglutaconyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP), to 3-methylcrotonyl-ACP, the postulated precursor of the cyclopropane ring, of curacin A. This decarboxylase is encoded within an "HCS cassette" that, is used by several other polyketide biosynthetic systems to generate, chemical diversity by introduction of a beta-branch functional group to, the natural product. The crystal structure of the CurF N-terminal ECH(2), domain establishes that the protein is a crotonase superfamily member., Ala(78) and Gly(118) form an oxyanion hole in the active site that, includes only three polar side chains as potential catalytic residues., Site-directed mutagenesis and a biochemical assay established critical, functions for His(240) and Lys(86), whereas Tyr(82) was nonessential. A, decarboxylation mechanism is proposed in which His(240) serves to, stabilize the substrate carboxylate and Lys(86) donates a proton to C-4 of, the acyl-ACP enolate intermediate to form the Delta(2) unsaturated, isopentenoyl-ACP product. The CurF ECH(2) domain showed a 20-fold, selectivity for ACP-over CoA-linked substrates. Specificity for ACP-linked, substrates has not been reported for any other crotonase superfamily, decarboxylase. Tyr(73) may select against CoA-linked substrates by, blocking a contact of Arg(38) with the CoA adenosine 5'-phosphate.
