Because this reaction does not exist in all currently known metabolic pathways, the computational design of Kemp eliminases has provided valuable insights into principles of enzymatic catalysis. However, it was discovered that the naturally occurring promiscuous enzymes ydbC, xapA and ketosteroid isomerase also can catalyze Kemp elimination. Here, we report the crystal structure of ketosteroid isomerase (KSI) from Mycobacterium smegmatis MC2 155. MsKSI crystallizes in the P212121 space group with two molecules in an asymmetric unit, and ultracentrifugation data confirms that it forms a stable dimer in solution, consistent with the 1.9 A-resolution structure. Our assays confirm that MsKSI accelerates the Kemp elimination of 5-nitrobenzoxazole (5NBI) with an optimal pH of 5.5. A 2.35 A resolution crystal structure of the MsKSI-5NBI complex reveals that the substrate 5NBI is bound in the active pocket of the enzyme composed of hydrophobic residues. In addition, the Glu127 residue is proposed to play an important role as a general base in proton transfer and breaking weak O-N bonds to open the five-membered ring. This work provides a starting point for exploring the artificial modification of MsKSI using the natural enzyme as the backbone.
