Apo structure of haloalcohol dehalogenase HheA of Arthrobacter sp. AD2
OverviewOverview
Haloalcohol dehalogenases are bacterial enzymes that cleave the, carbon-halogen bond in short aliphatic vicinal haloalcohols, like, 1-chloro-2,3-propanediol, some of which are recalcitrant environmental, pollutants. They use a conserved Ser-Tyr-Arg catalytic triad to, deprotonate the haloalcohol oxygen, which attacks the halogen-bearing, carbon atom, producing an epoxide and a halide ion. Here, we present the, X-ray structure of the haloalcohol dehalogenase HheA(AD2) from, Arthrobacter sp. strain AD2 at 2.0-A resolution. Comparison with the, previously reported structure of the 34% identical enantioselective, haloalcohol dehalogenase HheC from Agrobacterium radiobacter AD1 shows, that HheA(AD2) has a similar quaternary and tertiary structure but a much, more open substrate-binding pocket. Docking experiments reveal that, HheA(AD2) can bind both enantiomers of the haloalcohol substrate, 1-p-nitrophenyl-2-chloroethanol in a productive way, which explains the, low enantiopreference of HheA(AD2). Other differences are found in the, halide-binding site, where the side chain amino group of Asn182 is in a, position to stabilize the halogen atom or halide ion in HheA(AD2), in, contrast to HheC, where a water molecule has taken over this role. These, results broaden the insight into the structural determinants that govern, reactivity and selectivity in the haloalcohol dehalogenase family.
