鉴别杰多霉素生物合成后修饰氧化酶JadH中参与底物结合或催化的关键残基

Identification of key residues in the catalytic center JadH involved in binding substrates or catalysis of jadomycin biosynthesis

摘要:

JadH是羟化脱水双功能酶，参与杰多霉素生物合成中的聚酮后修饰反应，将2,3-dehydro-UWM6催化为dehydrorabelomycin。为了分析杰多霉素生物合成途径中后修饰氧化酶JadH结合、催化底物的关键氨基酸，构建了JadH与底物复合物的三维结构模型。利用该模型并结合JadH同源蛋白氨基酸序列比对分析，推测出JadH活性中心中可能参与底物结合或催化的关键氨基酸 (R50、G51、L52、G53、F100、R221、I223、P295和G298)。通过定点突变及体外酶学实验对这些位点的突变体的

Abstract:

JadH is a bifunctional hydoxylase/dehydrase involved in jadomycin biosynthesis; it catalyzes a post-PKS modification reaction to convert 2,3-dehydro-UWM6 to dehydrorabelomycin. To identify the key residues involved in substrate-binding and catalysis, structural modeling and multiple sequence alignments of JadH homologs were performed to predict nine residues at the proximity of substrate. Site-directed mutagenesis of the corresponding residues and in vitro evaluation of the activities of the mutant enzymes, indicate these mutations severely reduced JadH activity. Our results indicate these residues are specifically involved in substrate-binding or catalysis in JadH.
