The yeast- and bacteria-like OYEs have been structurally characterized earlier, however, filamentous fungal pathogens possess a novel OYE class, that is, class III, whose biochemical and structural intricacies remain unexplored to date. Here, we present the 1.6 A X-ray structure of a class III member, OYE 6 from necrotrophic fungus Ascochyta rabiei (ArOYE6), in flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-bound form (PDB ID-7FEV) and provide mechanistic insights into their catalytic capability. We demonstrate that ArOYE6 exists as a monomer in solution, forms (beta/alpha)8 barrel structure harbouring non-covalently bound FMN at cofactor binding site, and utilizes reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate as its preferred reductant. The large hydrophobic cavity situated above FMN, specifically accommodates 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid and N-ethylmaleimide substrates as observed in ArOYE6-FMN-substrate ternary complex models. Site-directed mutations in the conserved catalytic (His196, His199 and Tyr201) and FMN-binding (Lys249 and Arg348) residues render the enzyme inactive. Intriguingly, the ArOYE6 structure contains a novel C-terminus (369-445 residues) made of three alpha-helices, which stabilizes the FMN binding pocket as its mutation/truncation lead to complete loss of FMN binding. Moreover, the loss of the extended C-terminus does not alter the monomeric nature of ArOYE6. In this study, for the first time, we provide the structural and biochemical insights for a fungi-specific class III OYE homologue and dissect the oxidoreductase mechanism. Our findings hold broad biological significance during host-fungus interactions owing to the conservation of this class among pathogenic fungi, and would have potential implications in the pharmacochemical industry. Crystal structure of ArOYE6 reveals a novel C-terminal helical extension and mechanistic insights into the distinct class III OYEs from pathogenic fungi.,Singh Y, Sharma R, Mishra M, Verma PK, Saxena AK FEBS J. 2022 Mar 21. doi: 10.1111/febs.16445.
