1.44 Angstrom crystal structure of CYP121 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis in complex with substrate and CN
Structural highlights
Function[CP121_MYCTO] Catalyzes C-C bond formation between the carbons ortho to the phenolic hydroxyl of cyclo(L-tyr-L-tyr) (cYY) producing mycocyclosin. Can also use cyclo(L-Tyr-L-Phe) (cYF), cyclo(L-Tyr-L-Trp) (cYW) and cyclo(L-Tyr-L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) (cY-DOPA) as substrate (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMedCYP121 is a cytochrome P450 enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis that catalyzes the formation of a C-C bond between the aromatic groups of its cyclodityrosine substrate (cYY). The crystal structure of CYP121 in complex with cYY reveals that the solvent-derived ligand remains bound to the ferric ion in the enzyme-substrate complex. Whereas in the generally accepted P450 mechanism, binding of the primary substrate in the active-site triggers the release of the solvent-derived ligand, priming the metal center for reduction and subsequent O2 binding. Here we employed sodium cyanide to probe the metal-ligand exchange of the enzyme and the enzyme-substrate complex. The cyano adducts were characterized by UV-vis, EPR, and ENDOR spectroscopies and X-ray crystallography. A 100-fold increase in the affinity of cyanide binding to the enzyme-substrate complex over the ligand-free enzyme was observed. The crystal structure of the [CYP121(cYY)CN] ternary complex showed a rearrangement of the substrate in the active-site, when compared to the structure of the binary [CYP121(cYY)] complex. Transient kinetic studies showed that cYY binding resulted in a lower second-order rate constant (kon (CN)) but a much more stable cyanide adduct with 3 orders of magnitude slower koff (CN) rate. A dynamic equilibrium between multiple high- and low-spin species for both the enzyme and enzyme-substrate complex was also observed, which is sensitive to changes in both pH and temperature. Our data reveal the chemical and physical properties of the solvent-derived ligand of the enzyme, which will help to understand the initial steps of the catalytic mechanism.
