1.3 Angstrom Structure of N-Acyl Homoserine Lactone Hydrolase with the Product N-Hexanoyl-L-Homocysteine Bound to The catalytic Metal Center
Structural highlights
FunctionAHLLA_BACTK Catalyzes hydrolysis of N-hexanoyl-(S)-homoserine lactone, but not the R-enantiomer. Hydrolyzes short- and long-chain N-acyl homoserine lactones with or without 3-oxo substitution at C3, has maximum activity on C10-AHL.[1] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedEnzymes capable of hydrolyzing N-acyl- l-homoserine lactones (AHLs) used in some bacterial quorum-sensing pathways are of considerable interest for their ability to block undesirable phenotypes. Most known AHL hydrolases that catalyze ring opening (AHL lactonases) are members of the metallo-beta-lactamase enzyme superfamily and rely on a dinuclear zinc site for catalysis and stability. Here we report the three-dimensional structures of three product complexes formed with the AHL lactonase from Bacillus thuringiensis. Structures of the lactonase bound with two different concentrations of the ring-opened product of N-hexanoyl- l-homoserine lactone are determined at 0.95 and 1.4 A resolution and exhibit different product configurations. A structure of the ring-opened product of the non-natural N-hexanoyl- l-homocysteine thiolactone at 1.3 A resolution is also determined. On the basis of these product-bound structures, a substrate-binding model is presented that differs from previous proposals. Additionally, the proximity of the product to active-site residues and observed changes in protein conformation and metal coordination provide insight into the catalytic mechanism of this quorum-quenching metalloenzyme.
