Crystal structure at 1.0 A of alginate lyase A1-II', a member of polysaccharide lyase family-7
Overview
Alginate lyases depolymerize alginate, a heteropolysaccharide consisting of alpha-L-guluronate and beta-D-mannuronate, through a beta-elimination reaction. Their structure/function relationships are expected to provide information valuable to future industrial alginate processing and drug design for Pseudomonas aeruginosa alginate biofilm-dependent infection, but much remains unknown. Here, we present the crystal structure at 1.0 A resolution and the results of mutational analysis of Sphingomonas sp. A1 alginate lyase A1-II', which is grouped into the polysaccharide lyase (PL) family-7. The overall structure of A1-II' uses a beta-sandwich fold, and it has a large active cleft covered by two short flexible loops. Comparison with other family PL-7 structures indicated that loop opening is necessary for substrate binding when the catalytic reaction is initiated. In contrast to the disorder in many side-chains on the protein surface, the three adjacent beta-strands at the center of the active cleft are well ordered. This results from hydrogen bond networks and stacking-like associations identical with those in other family PL-7 structures. Disruption of these interactions by site-directed mutagenesis (R146A, E148A, R150A, Q189A, and K280A) makes the protein insoluble or greatly decreases its activity. The A1-II' structure includes two sulfate ions in the active cleft. Ammonium sulfate was a potent inhibitor with a Ki of 2.5 mM, indicating that our structure represents a model of the inhibitory state.
