Crystal Structure of 7,8-Diaminopelargonic Acid Synthase in complex with the cis isomer of amiclenomycin
| ||||||||||||
Structural highlights
Function[BIOA_ECOLI] Catalyzes the transfer of the alpha-amino group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to 7-keto-8-aminopelargonic acid (KAPA) to form 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid (DAPA). It is the only animotransferase known to utilize SAM as an amino donor.[1] 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 PubMedThe antibiotic amiclenomycin blocks the biosynthesis of biotin by inhibiting the pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent enzyme diaminopelargonic acid synthase. Inactivation of the enzyme is stereoselective, i.e. the cis isomer of amiclenomycin is a potent inhibitor, whereas the trans isomer is much less reactive. The crystal structure of the complex of the holoenzyme and amiclenomycin at 1.8 A resolution reveals that the internal aldimine linkage between the cofactor and the side chain of the catalytic residue Lys-274 is broken. Instead, a covalent bond is formed between the 4-amino nitrogen of amiclenomycin and the C4' carbon atom of pyridoxal-phosphate. The electron density for the bound inhibitor suggests that aromatization of the cyclohexadiene ring has occurred upon formation of the covalent adduct. This process could be initiated by proton abstraction at the C4 carbon atom of the cyclohexadiene ring, possibly by the proximal side chain of Lys-274, leading to the tautomer Schiff base followed by the removal of the second allylic hydrogen. The carboxyl tail of the amiclenomycin moiety forms a salt link to the conserved residue Arg-391 in the substrate-binding site. Modeling suggests steric hindrance at the active site as the determinant of the weak inhibiting potency of the trans isomer.
