Apo-form PigA
Structural highlights
FunctionPIGA_SERS3 Involved in the biosynthesis of 4-methoxy-2,2'-bipyrrole-5-carbaldehyde (MBC), one of the terminal products involved in the biosynthesis of the red antibiotic prodigiosin (Pig). Catalyzes the desaturation of the L-prolyl-[PigG] to yield 1H-pyrrole-2-carbonyl-[PigG].[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedProdigiosin is an intensely red pigment comprising three pyrroles. The biosynthetic pathway includes a two-step proline oxidation catalyzed by PigA, using FAD as its cofactor. Here the enzyme is crystallized in apo-form and in complex with FAD and proline. As an acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACAD) family member, the protein folds into a beta-sheet flanked by two alpha-helical domains. PigA forms a tetramer, consistent with analytical ultracentrifugation results. FAD binds to PigA in a similar way to that in the other ACAD-family enzymes. The variable conformations of loop beta4-beta5 and helix alphaG correlate well with the structural flexibility required for substrate entrance to the Re side of FAD. Modeling with PigG, the acyl carrier protein, suggests a reasonable mode of interaction with PigA. The structure helps explain the proline oxidation mechanism, in which Glu244 plays a central role by abstracting the substrate protons. It also reveals a plausible pocket for oxygen binding to the Si side of FAD.
