Function[P3H2_STRSQ] Dioxygenase that catalyzes the 2-oxoglutarate-dependent selective hydroxylation of free L-proline to cis-3-hydroxy-L-proline (cis-3-Hyp).[PDB:1E5R] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedIron (II)/2-oxoglutarate (2-OG)-dependent oxygenases catalyse oxidative reactions in a range of metabolic processes including the hydroxylation of proline and lysine residues during the post-translational modification of collagen. 2-OG oxygenases commonly require ascorbate for full activity. In the vitamin C deficient disease, scurvy, reduced activity of 2-OG oxygenases results in impaired formation of collagen. Here we report the crystal structure of bacterial proline 3-hydroxylase from Streptomyces sp., an enzyme which hydroxylates proline at position 3, the first of a 2-OG oxygenase catalysing oxidation of a free alpha-amino acid. Structures were obtained for the enzyme in the absence of iron (to 2.3A resolution, R=20.2%, Rfree=25.3%) and that complexed to iron (II) (to 2.4A resolution, R=19.8%, Rfree=22.6%). The structure contains conserved motifs present in other 2-OG oxygenases including a 'jelly roll' beta strand core and residues binding iron and 2-oxoglutarate, consistent with divergent evolution within the extended family. The structure differs significantly from many other 2-OG oxygenases in possessing a discrete C-terminal helical domain. Analysis of the structure suggests a model for proline binding and a mechanism for uncoupling of proline and 2-OG turnover. Structure of proline 3-hydroxylase.
