== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Lysine carbamylation, a post-translational modification, facilitates metal coordination for specific enzymatic activities. We have determined structures of the vertebrate dihydropyrimidinase from Tetraodon nigroviridis (TnDhp) in various states: the apo enzyme as well as two forms of the holo enzyme with one and two metals at the catalytic site. The essential active-site structural requirements have been identified with possible existence of four metal-mediated stages of lysine carbamylation. Only one metal is sufficient for stabilizing lysine carbamylation; however, the post-translational lysine carbamylation facilitates additional metal coordination for the regulation of specific enzymatic activities through controlling the conformations of two dynamic loops, Ala69-Arg74 and Met158-Met165, located in the tunnel for the substrate entrance. The substrate/product tunnel is in the ''open form'' in the apo-TnDhp, in the ''intermediate state'' in the mono-metal TnDhp, and in the ''close form'' in the di-metal TnDhp structure, respectively. Structural comparison also suggests that the C-terminal tail plays a role in the enzymatic function through interactions with the Ala69-Arg74 dynamic loop. In addition, the structures of the di-metal TnDhp in complexes with hydantoin, N-carbomyl-beta-alanine and N-carbomyl-beta-aminoisobutyrate, as well as apo-TnDhp in complex with a product analog, N-(2-acetamido)-iminodiacetic acid, have been determined. These structural results illustrate how a protein exploits unique lysines and the metal distribution to accomplish lysine carbamylation as well as subsequent enzymatic functions.
