Structural basis for the catalytic mechanism of phosphothreonine lyase
Structural highlights
FunctionSPVC_SALTY Secreted effector that irreversibly inactivates host MAP kinases by catalyzing the dephosphorylation of the phosphothreonine residue in the pT-X-pY motif in MAPK2/ERK2, MAPK3/ERK1, and p38, via a beta-elimination reaction leading to a dehydrobutyrine residue. Is also able to remove the phosphate group from phospho-JNK in vitro, but JNK may not be a substrate in vivo. Could help suppress localized proinflammatory responses at infection foci in the spleen and liver, and thereby facilitate bacterial growth.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedSalmonella SpvC belongs to a new enzyme family designated phosphothreonine lyases that irreversibly inactivate mitogen-activated protein kinases. The crystal structure of SpvC reported here reveals that the two phosphorylated residues in the substrate peptide predominantly mediate its recognition by SpvC. Substrate-induced conformational changes in SpvC sequester the phosphothreonine in a completely solvent-free environment, preventing the hydrolysis of the phosphate group and facilitating the elimination reaction.
