Crystal structure of Pseudomonas sp. P51 Chloromuconate lactonizing enzyme
Overview
Bacterial muconate lactonizing enzymes (MLEs) catalyze the conversion of, cis,cis-muconate as a part of the beta-ketoadipate pathway, and some MLEs, are also able to dehalogenate chlorinated muconates (Cl-MLEs). The basis, for the Cl-MLEs dehalogenating activity is still unclear. To further, elucidate the differences between MLEs and Cl-MLEs, we have solved the, structure of Pseudomonas P51 Cl-MLE at 1.95 A resolution. Comparison of, Pseudomonas MLE and Cl-MLE structures reveals the presence of a large, cavity in the Cl-MLEs. The cavity may be related to conformational changes, on substrate binding in Cl-MLEs, at Gly52. Site-directed mutagenesis on, Pseudomonas MLE core positions to the equivalent Cl-MLE residues showed, that the variant Thr52Gly was rather inactive, whereas the, Thr52Gly-Phe103Ser variant had regained part of the activity. These, residues form a hydrogen bond in the Cl-MLEs. The Cl-MLE structure, as a, result of the Thr-to-Gly change, is more flexible than MLE: As a mobile, loop closes over the active site, a conformational change at Gly52 is, observed in Cl-MLEs. The loose packing and structural motions in Cl-MLE, may be required for the rotation of the lactone ring in the active site, necessary for the dehalogenating activity of Cl-MLEs. Furthermore, we also, suggest that differences in the active site mobile loop sequence between, MLEs and Cl-MLEs result in lower active site polarity in Cl-MLEs, possibly, affecting catalysis. These changes could result in slower product release, from Cl-MLEs and make it a better enzyme for dehalogenation of substrate.
