== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/AQDC_MYCA9 AQDC_MYCA9] Ring-cleaving dioxygenase involved in the degradation pathway of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum sensing signal molecules HHQ (2-heptyl-4-quinolone) and PQS (2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolone) to anthranilate. Catalyzes the cleavage of PQS to form N-octanoylanthranilate and carbon monoxide. Thus, leads to the inactivation of PQS that plays a central role in the regulation of virulence factor production by P.aeruginosa, thereby quenching the production of antimicrobials, which may contribute to the competitiveness of M.abscessus in presence of P.aeruginosa (PubMed:31228546, PubMed:28303132). In vitro, can also use other 2-alkyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolone (AHQ) substrates with shorter alkyl substituents at C2, but with lower efficiency (PubMed:31228546).<ref>PMID:28303132</ref> <ref>PMID:31228546</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The cofactor-less dioxygenase AqdC of Mycobacteroides abscessus catalyzes the cleavage and thus inactivation of the Pseudomonas quinolone signal (PQS, 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4(1H)-quinolone), which plays a central role in the regulation of virulence factor production by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We present here the crystal structures of AqdC in its native state and in complex with the PQS cleavage product N-octanoylanthranilic acid, and of mutant AqdC proteins in complex with PQS. AqdC possesses an alpha/beta-hydrolase fold core domain with additional helices forming a cap domain. The protein is traversed by a bipartite tunnel, with a funnel-like entry section leading to an elliptical substrate cavity where PQS positioning is mediated by a combination of hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds, with the substrate's C4 carbonyl and C3 hydroxyl groups tethered by His97 and the catalytic His246, respectively. The side chain of the AqdC-bound product extends deeper into the "alkyl tail section" of the tunnel than PQS, tentatively suggesting product exit via this part of the tunnel. AqdC prefers PQS over congeners with shorter alkyl substituents at C2. Kinetic data confirmed the strict requirement of the active-site base His246 for catalysis, and suggested that evolution of the canonical nucleophile/His/Asp catalytic triad of the hydrolases to an Ala/His/Asp triad is favorable for catalyzing dioxygenolytic PQS ring cleavage.
