Function[4OT1_PSEPU] Catalyzes the ketonization of 2-hydroxymuconate stereoselectively to yield 2-oxo-3-hexenedioate.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe enzyme 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase shows remarkable catalytic versatility due to the secondary amine of its N-terminal proline moiety. In this work, we incorporated a range of proline analogues into the enzyme and examined the effects on structure and activity. While the structure of the enzyme remained unperturbed, its promiscuous Michael-type activity was severely affected. This finding demonstrates how atomic changes in a biocatalytic system can abolish its activity. Our work provides a toolbox for successful generation of enzyme variants with non-canonical catalytic proline analogues. Substituting the catalytic proline of 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase with non-canonical analogues reveals a finely tuned catalytic system.,Lukesch MS, Pavkov-Keller T, Gruber K, Zangger K, Wiltschi B Sci Rep. 2019 Feb 25;9(1):2697. doi: 10.1038/s41598-019-39484-9.
