Bacterial DMSP lyases cleave DMSP, producing acrylate and dimethyl sulfide (DMS), a climate-active gas with roles in global sulfur cycling and atmospheric chemistry. DddY is the only known periplasmic DMSP lyase and is present in beta-, gamma-, delta- and epsilon-proteobacteria. Unlike other known DMSP lyases, DddY has not been classified into a protein superfamily, and its structure and catalytic mechanism are unknown. Here, we determined the crystal structure of DddY from the gamma-proteobacterium Acinetobacter bereziniae originally isolated from human clinical specimens. This structure revealed that DddY contains a cap domain and a catalytic domain with a Zn(2+) bound at its active site. We also observed that the DddY catalytic domain adopts a typical beta-barrel fold and contains two conserved cupin motifs. Therefore, we concluded that DddY should belong to the cupin superfamily. Using structural and mutational analyses, we identified key residues involved in Zn(2+) coordination, DMSP binding and the catalysis of DMSP cleavage, enabling elucidation of the catalytic mechanism, in which the residue Tyr271 of DddY acts as a general base to attack DMSP. Moreover, sequence analysis suggested that this proposed mechanism is common to DddY proteins from beta-, gamma-, delta- and epsilon-proteobacteria. The DddY structure and proposed catalytic mechanism provide a better understanding of how DMSP is catabolized to generate the important climate-active gas DMS.
