Linalool dehydratase/isomerase: Ldi-apo
Structural highlights
FunctionLDI_CASD6 Anaerobically catalyzes the stereospecific hydration of beta-myrcene to (3S)-linalool and the isomerization of (3S)-linalool to geraniol (PubMed:20663876, PubMed:28068311, Ref.8). Is thus involved in the initial steps of the anaerobic degradation of the monoterpene beta-myrcene (PubMed:20663876). Also catalyzes the reverse reactions, i.e. the isomerization of geraniol to linalool and the dehydration of linalool to myrcene (PubMed:20663876, PubMed:28068311, Ref.8). In this direction, the formation of myrcene from geraniol may be seen as a detoxification process for the monoterpene alcohol (PubMed:20663876). Shows a relatively broad substrate specificity and can use various geraniol and linalool derivatives (PubMed:28068311). Substrates required a specific alpha-methylallyl alcohol signature motif (PubMed:28068311). Neither the monoterpenes alpha- and beta-ocimene nor the monoterpenoids citronellol and nerol can be used as substrates (PubMed:20663876).[1] [2] [REFERENCE:8] Publication Abstract from PubMedLinalool dehydratase/isomerase (Ldi), an enzyme of terpene degradation in Castellaniella defragrans, isomerizes the primary monoterpene alcohol geraniol into the tertiary alcohol (S)-linalool and dehydrates (S)-linalool to the alkene beta-myrcene. Here we report on the crystal structures of Ldi with and without terpene substrates, revealing a cofactor-free homopentameric enzyme. The substrates were embedded inside a hydrophobic channel between two monomers of the (alpha,alpha)6 barrel fold class and flanked by three clusters of polar residues involved in acid-base catalysis. The detailed view into the active site will guide future biotechnological applications of Ldi, in particular, for industrial butadiene and isoprene production from renewable sources.
