PylD in complex with pyrrolysine and NADH
Structural highlights
FunctionPYLD_METBF Catalyzes the ultimate step of the pyrrolysine biosynthesis pathway by converting the isopeptide (3R)-3-methyl-D-ornithyl-N(6)-L-lysine to the 22nd proteinogenic amino acid (PubMed:24916332). Is able to use surrogate substrates such as (3R)-D-ornithyl-N(6)-L-lysine in vitro (PubMed:23720358, PubMed:24916332).[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe dehydrogenase PylD catalyzes the ultimate step of the pyrrolysine pathway by converting the isopeptide L-lysine-Nepsilon-3R-methyl-D-ornithine to the 22nd proteinogenic amino acid. In this study, we demonstrate how PylD can be harnessed to oxidize various isopeptides to novel amino acids by combining chemical synthesis with enzyme kinetics and X-ray crystallography. The data enable a detailed description of the PylD reaction trajectory for the biosynthesis of pyrroline and tetrahydropyridine rings as constituents of pyrrolysine analogues.
