Structure of a Human S-Adenosylmethionine Decarboxylase Self-processing Ester Intermediate and Mechanism of Putrescine Stimulation of Processing as Revealed by the H243A Mutant

Overview

S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) is synthesized as a, proenzyme that cleaves itself in a putrescine-stimulated reaction via an, N-->O acyl shift and beta-elimination to produce an active enzyme with a, catalytically essential pyruvoyl residue at the new N-terminus. N-->O acyl, shifts initiate the self-processing of other proteins such as inteins and, amidohydrolases, but their mechanisms in such proteins are not well, understood. We have solved the crystal structure of the H243A mutant of, AdoMetDC to 1.5 A resolution. The mutant protein is trapped in the ester, form, providing clear evidence for the structure of the ester intermediate, in the processing of pyruvoyl enzymes. In addition, a putrescine molecule, is bound in a charged region within the beta-sandwich, and cross-links the, two beta-sheets through hydrogen bonds to several acidic residues and, ordered water molecules. The high-resolution structure provides insight, into the mechanism for the self-processing reaction and provides evidence, for the mechanism for simulation of the self-processing reaction by, putrescine. Studies of the effects of putrescine or 4-aminobutanol on the, processing of mutant AdoMetDC proenzymes are consistent with a model in, which a single activator molecule interacts with buried Asp174, Glu178, and Glu256, leading to an alteration in the position of Glu11, resulting, in stimulation of self-processing.
