BENZOYLFORMATE DECARBOXYLASE FROM PSEUDOMONAS PUTIDA
Overview
The crystal structure of the thiamin diphosphate (ThDP)-dependent enzyme, benzoylformate decarboxylase (BFD), the third enzyme in the mandelate, pathway of Pseudomonas putida, has been solved by multiple isomorphous, replacement at 1.6 A resolution and refined to an R-factor of 15.0% (free, R = 18.6%). The structure of BFD has been compared to that of other, ThDP-dependent enzymes, including pyruvate decarboxylase. The overall, architecture of BFD resembles that of the other family members, and, cofactor- and metal-binding residues are well conserved. Surprisingly, there is no conservation of active-site residues not directly bound to the, cofactor. The position of functional groups in the active site may be, conserved, however. Three classes of metal ions have been identified in, the BFD crystal structure: Ca2+ bound to the cofactor in each subunit, Mg2+ on a 2-fold axis of the tetramer, and Ca2+ at a crystal contact. The, structure includes a non-proline cis-peptide bond and an unusually long, and regular polyproline type II helix that mediates the main contact, between tetramers in the crystal. The high-quality electron-density map, allowed the correction of errors totaling more than 10% of the amino acid, sequence, which had been predicted from the reported sequence of the mdlC, gene. Analysis of the BFD structure suggests that requirements for, activation of the cofactor, the nature of the reaction intermediates, and, architectural considerations relating to the protein fold have been, dominant forces in the evolution of ThDP-dependent enzymes.
