Hydrolytic haloalkane dehalogenase linb from sphingomonas paucimobilis UT26 AT 1.6 A resolution
Structural highlights
FunctionLINB_SPHJU Catalyzes hydrolytic cleavage of carbon-halogen bonds in halogenated aliphatic compounds, leading to the formation of the corresponding primary alcohols, halide ions and protons. Has a broad substrate specificity since not only monochloroalkanes (C3 to C10) but also dichloroalkanes (> C3), bromoalkanes, and chlorinated aliphatic alcohols are good substrates (PubMed:9293022, PubMed:10100638). Shows almost no activity with 1,2-dichloroethane, but very high activity with the brominated analog (PubMed:9293022). Is involved in the degradation of the important environmental pollutant gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (gamma-HCH or lindane) as it also catalyzes conversion of 1,3,4,6-tetrachloro-1,4-cyclohexadiene (1,4-TCDN) to 2,5-dichloro-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-diol (2,5-DDOL) via the intermediate 2,4,5-trichloro-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1-ol (2,4,5-DNOL) (PubMed:7691794). This degradation pathway allows S.japonicum UT26 to grow on gamma-HCH as the sole source of carbon and energy.[1] [2] [3] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe haloalkane dehalogenase from Sphingomonas paucimobilis UT26 (LinB) is the enzyme involved in the degradation of the important environmental pollutant gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane. The enzyme hydrolyzes a broad range of halogenated cyclic and aliphatic compounds. Here, we present the 1.58 A crystal structure of LinB and the 2.0 A structure of LinB with 1,3-propanediol, a product of debromination of 1,3-dibromopropane, in the active site of the enzyme. The enzyme belongs to the alpha/beta hydrolase family and contains a catalytic triad (Asp108, His272, and Glu132) in the lipase-like topological arrangement previously proposed from mutagenesis experiments. The LinB structure was compared with the structures of haloalkane dehalogenase from Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 and from Rhodococcus sp. and the structural features involved in the adaptation toward xenobiotic substrates were identified. The arrangement and composition of the alpha-helices in the cap domain results in the differences in the size and shape of the active-site cavity and the entrance tunnel. This is the major determinant of the substrate specificity of this haloalkane dehalogenase.
