Crystal structure of LipA from Serratia marcescens
Overview
Lipase LipA from Serratia marcescens is a 613-amino acid enzyme belonging, to family I.3 of lipolytic enzymes that has an important biotechnological, application in the production of a chiral precursor for the coronary, vasodilator diltiazem. Like other family I.3 lipases, LipA is secreted by, Gram-negative bacteria via a type I secretion system and possesses 13, copies of a calcium binding tandem repeat motif, GGXGXDXUX (U, hydrophobic, amino acids), in the C-terminal part of the polypeptide chain. The 1.8-A, crystal structure of LipA reveals a close relation to eukaryotic lipases, whereas family I.1 and I.2 enzymes appear to be more distantly related., Interestingly, the structure shows for the N-terminal lipase domain a, variation on the canonical alpha/beta hydrolase fold in an open, conformation, where the putative lid helix is anchored by a Ca(2+) ion, essential for activity. Another novel feature observed in this lipase, structure is the presence of a helical hairpin additional to the putative, lid helix that exposes a hydrophobic surface to the aqueous medium and, might function as an additional lid. The tandem repeats form two separated, parallel beta-roll domains that pack tightly against each other., Variations of the consensus sequence of the tandem repeats within the, second beta-roll result in an asymmetric Ca(2+) binding on only one side, of the roll. The analysis of the properties of the beta-roll domains, suggests an intramolecular chaperone function.
