Mycobacterium smegmatis DprE1 - hexagonal crystal form
Structural highlights
FunctionDPRE1_MYCS2 Component of the DprE1-DprE2 complex that catalyzes the 2-step epimerization of decaprenyl-phospho-ribose (DPR) to decaprenyl-phospho-arabinose (DPA), a key precursor that serves as the arabinose donor required for the synthesis of cell-wall arabinans (PubMed:22188377). DprE1 catalyzes the first step of epimerization, namely FAD-dependent oxidation of the C2' hydroxyl of DPR to yield the keto intermediate decaprenyl-phospho-2'-keto-D-arabinose (DPX) (PubMed:22188377). The intermediate DPX is then transferred to DprE2 subunit of the epimerase complex, most probably through a 'substrate channel' at the interface of DprE1-DprE2 complex (By similarity). Can also use farnesyl-phosphoryl-beta-D-ribofuranose (FPR) as substrate in vitro (PubMed:22188377, PubMed:22956199). Appears to be essential for the growth of M.smegmatis (PubMed:21346818).[UniProtKB:P9WJF1][1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedDecaprenylphosphoryl-beta-D-ribose 2'-epimerase (DprE1) is an essential enzyme in the biosynthesis of cell wall components and a target for development of anti-tuberculosis drugs. We determined the crystal structure of a truncated form of DprE1 from Mycobacterium smegmatis in two crystal forms to up to 2.35 A resolution. The structure extends from residue 75 to the C-terminus and shares homology with FAD-dependent oxidoreductases of the vanillyl-alcohol oxidase family including the DprE1 homologue from M. tuberculosis. The M. smegmatis DprE1 structure reported here provides further insights into the active site geometry of this tuberculosis drug target.
