Crystal structure of E. coli PutA proline dehydrogenase domain (residues 86-669) complexed with L-Tetrahydro-2-furoic acid
OverviewOverview
Proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) catalyzes the first step of proline, catabolism, the flavin-dependent oxidation of proline to, Delta(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylate. Here we present a structure-based study, of the PRODH active site of the multifunctional Escherichia coli proline, utilization A (PutA) protein using X-ray crystallography, enzyme kinetic, measurements, and site-directed mutagenesis. Structures of the PutA PRODH, domain complexed with competitive inhibitors acetate (K(i) = 30 mM), L-lactate (K(i) = 1 mM), and L-tetrahydro-2-furoic acid (L-THFA, K(i) =, 0.2 mM) have been determined to high-resolution limits of 2.1-2.0 A. The, discovery of acetate as a competitive inhibitor suggests that the carboxyl, is the minimum functional group recognized by the active site, and the, structures show how the enzyme exploits hydrogen-bonding and nonpolar, interactions to optimize affinity for the substrate. The PRODH/L-THFA, complex is the first structure of PRODH with a five-membered ring proline, analogue bound in the active site and thus provides new insights into, substrate recognition and the catalytic mechanism. The ring of L-THFA is, nearly parallel to the middle ring of the FAD isoalloxazine, with the, inhibitor C5 atom 3.3 A from the FAD N5. This geometry suggests direct, hydride transfer as a plausible mechanism. Mutation of conserved active, site residue Leu432 to Pro caused a 5-fold decrease in k(cat) and a severe, loss in thermostability. These changes are consistent with the location of, Leu432 in the hydrophobic core near residues that directly contact FAD., Our results suggest that the molecular basis for increased plasma proline, levels in schizophrenic subjects carrying the missense mutation L441P is, due to decreased stability of human PRODH2.
