Publication Abstract from PubMedIn bacteria, the second committed step in the diaminopimelate/lysine anabolic pathways is catalyzed by the enzyme dihydrodipicolinate reductase (DapB). DapB catalyzes the reduction of dihydrodipicolinate to yield tetrahydrodipicolinate. Here, the cloning, expression, purification, crystallization and X-ray diffraction analysis of DapB from the human-pathogenic bacterium Bartonella henselae, the causative bacterium of cat-scratch disease, are reported. Protein crystals were grown in conditions consisting of 5%(w/v) PEG 4000, 200 mM sodium acetate, 100 mM sodium citrate tribasic pH 5.5 and were shown to diffract to approximately 2.3 A resolution. They belonged to space group P4322, with unit-cell parameters a = 109.38, b = 109.38, c = 176.95 A. Rr.i.m. was 0.11, Rwork was 0.177 and Rfree was 0.208. The three-dimensional structural features of the enzymes show that DapB from B. henselae is a tetramer consisting of four identical polypeptides. In addition, the substrate NADP+ was found to be bound to one monomer, which resulted in a closed conformational change in the N-terminal domain.
