Presentation of dehydrosqualene synthase
The C30 carotene synthase (also known as 4,4'-diapophytoene (DAP) synthase; dehydrosqualene synthase; CrtM), encoded by crtM gene, is a bacterial carotenoid synthase which is involved in the first step of the pathway that synthesizes staphyloxanthin from farnesyl diphosphate.
This pathway is a subpathway in staphyloxanthin biosynthesis, which is itself part of carotenoid biosynthesis. Carotenoid pathways are branches of the general isoprenoid pathway.
Staphyloxanthin is a carotenoid, which is responsible for the signature golden color of Staphylococcus aureus and also plays the role of virulence factor to human. It has an antioxidant activity that helps the microbe to survive under hight concentration of reactive oxygen species, caused by the host immune system. Having a better comprehension of the synthesis of this carotenoid will help to find a cure to S. aureus related diseases.
Function(Biological reaction)
CrtM catalyses the first step of the synthesis of staphyloxanthin (with a 2-step mechanism)[1]. The gene is located in the staphyloxanthin biosynthesis operon (crtOPQMN), which encodes enzymes to catalyze the synthesis[2]. The product, C(30) carotenoid 4,4'-diapophytoene (dehydrosqualene), is colorless.
- Catalysed reaction (head-to-head condensation)
- 2 (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) ↔15-cis-4,4'-diapophytoene + 2 diphosphate
Transferase Activity : Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups
Metal Ion Binding : requires Mn2+ as cofactor (2 ions per subunit).
Structure
This enzyme consists of 2 sequence-identical polypeptide chains of 287 amino acids[3] and is biologically active as a dimerTemplate:Cn.
- Ligands
- 6 Magnesium ions
- 2 PO42-
- 1 L(+)-tartaric acid
- 2 (3r)-3-biphenyl-4-yl-1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-3-ol
Structures of BPH-651, a 3-OH quinuclidine inhibitor, bound to CrtM
The space group of FsPP·CrtM is P3121, with two molecules per asymmetric unit[4]. Three phosphonosulfonates, which mimic the FPP substract have been identified to have binding/inhibiting activity on CrtM, each with different binding pattern.
Human diseases
The Staphyloxanthin catalyzed by CrtM is a virulence factor linked with infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is becoming a serious threat[5]. Cells with mutated CrtM are less resistant against oxidative stress, shows lower survival rate and are less pathogenic in mouses[6]. Due to its structural similarity as well as shared inhibitor with human squalene synthase (SQS)[4][7], it is seen as a potential target for virulence factor neutralization therapy, where the idea is to inhibit the pathogen's synthetic pathway. Cationic inhibitors are here of interest as anti-infectives because they can substitute themselves to Mg2+ and inactivate the enzyme.
