Structure of M. tuberculosis CysQ, a PAP phosphatase - ligand-free structure
Structural highlights
Function[CYSQ_MYCTO] Phosphatase with a broad specificity. Its primary physiological function is to dephosphorylate 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphate (PAP) and 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS). Thus, plays a role in mycobacterial sulfur metabolism, since it can serve as a key regulator of the sulfate assimilation pathway by controlling the pools of PAP and PAPS in the cell. To a lesser extent, is also able to hydrolyze inositol 1-phosphate (I-1-P), fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) (to fructose 6-phosphate (F-6-P)) and AMP in vitro, but this might has no significance in vivo (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMedIn many organisms, 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphate (PAP) is a product of two reactions in the sulfur activation pathway. The sulfurylation of biomolecules, catalyzed by sulfotransferases, uses 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) as a sulfate donor, producing the sulfated biomolecule and PAP product. Additionally, the first step in sulfate reduction for many bacteria and fungi reduces the sulfate moiety of PAPS, producing PAP and sulfite, which is subsequently reduced to sulfide. PAP is removed by the phosphatase activity of CysQ, a 3',5'-bisphosphate nucleotidase, yielding AMP and phosphate. Because excess PAP alters the equilibrium of the sulfur pathway and inhibits sulfotransferases, PAP concentrations can affect the levels of sulfur-containing metabolites. Therefore, CysQ, a divalent cation metal-dependent phosphatase, is a major regulator of this pathway. CysQ (Rv2131c) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) was successfully expressed, purified, and crystallized in a variety of ligand-bound states. Here we report six crystal structures of Mtb CysQ, including a ligand-free structure, a lithium-inhibited state with substrate PAP bound, and a product-bound complex with AMP, phosphate, and three Mg(2+) ions bound. Comparison of these structures together with homologues of the superfamily has provided insight into substrate specificity, metal coordination, and catalytic mechanism.
