Structure of Y430F D-ornithine/D-lysine decarboxylase complex with D-ornithineStructure of Y430F D-ornithine/D-lysine decarboxylase complex with D-ornithine
Structural highlights
FunctionDOKDC_SALTY Catalyzes the decarboxylation of D-ornithine and D-lysine (PubMed:29024617, PubMed:30699288). Ornithine is likely the physiological substrate (PubMed:29024617). Has no detectable diaminopimelate decarboxylase activity in vitro (PubMed:29024617).[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedTyrosine-430 of d-ornithine/d-lysine decarboxylase (DOKDC) is located in the active site, and was suggested to be responsible for the D-stereospecificity of the enzyme. We have prepared the Y430F mutant form of Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium DOKDC and evaluated its catalytic activity with D- and l-lysine and ornithine. The kinetic results show that the Y430F mutant has measurable decarboxylase activity with both D- and l-lysine and ornithine, which wild type DOKDC does not. Spectroscopic experiments show that these amino acids bind to form external aldimine complexes with the pyridoxal-5'-phosphate with lambda(max) = 425 nm. In addition, we have obtained crystal structures of Y430F DOKDC bound to HEPES, putrescine, d-ornithine, d-lysine, and d-arginine. The d-amino acids bind in the crystals to form equilibrium mixtures of gem-diamine and external aldimine complexes. Furthermore, the crystal structures reveal an unexpected allosteric product activator site for putrescine located on the 2-fold axis between the two active sites. Putrescine binds by donating hydrogen bonds from the ammonium groups to Asp-361 and Gln-358 in the specificity helix of both chains. Addition of 0.1-1 mM putrescine eliminates the lag in steady state kinetics and abolishes the sigmoid kinetics. The catalytic loop was modeled with AlphaFold2, and the model shows that Glu-181 can form additional hydrogen bonds with the bound putrescine, likely stabilizing the catalytic closed conformation. The Y430F mutant of Salmonella d-ornithine/d-lysine decarboxylase has altered stereospecificity and a putrescine allosteric activation site.,Phillips RS, Nguyen Hoang KN Arch Biochem Biophys. 2022 Nov 30;731:109429. doi: 10.1016/j.abb.2022.109429. , Epub 2022 Oct 18.
