Structure of the mixed-function P450 MycG F286A mutant in complex with mycinamicin IV
Structural highlights
FunctionMYCG_MICGR Involved in the biosynthesis of mycinamicin, a 16-membered macrolide antibiotic. Catalyzes consecutive hydroxylation (at C14) and epoxidation (at C12-C13) reactions with mycinamicin IV as initial substrate, leading to mycinamicin II. These reactions require prior dimethylation of 6-deoxyallose to mycinose for effective conversion by the dual function MycG enzyme.[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe majority of characterized cytochrome P450 enzymes in actinomycete secondary metabolic pathways are strictly substrate-, regio- and stereo-specific. Examples of multifunctional biosynthetic cytochromes P450 with broader substrate and regio-specificity are growing in number and are of particular interest for biosynthetic and chemoenzymatic applications. MycG is among the first P450 monooxygenases characterized that catalyzes both hydroxylation and epoxidation reactions in the final biosynthetic steps, leading to oxidative tailoring of the 16-membered ring macrolide antibiotic mycinamicin II (M-II) in the actinomycete Micromonospora griseorubida. The ordering of steps to complete the biosynthetic process involves a complex substrate recognition pattern by the enzyme and interplay between three tailoring modifications: glycosylation, methylation and oxidation. To understand the catalytic properties of MycG, we structurally characterized the ligand-free enzyme and its complexes with three native metabolites. These include substrates mycinamicin IV (M-IV) and V (M-V), and their biosynthetic precursor mycinamicin III (M-III), which carries the monomethoxy sugar javose instead of the dimethoxylated sugar mycinose. The two methoxy groups of mycinose serve as sensors that mediate initial recognition to discriminate between closely related substrates in the post-polyketide oxidative tailoring of mycinamycin metabolites. Since x-ray structures alone did not explain the mechanisms of macrolide hydroxylation and epoxidation, paramagnetic NMR relaxation measurements were conducted. Molecular modeling based on these data indicates that in solution substrate may penetrate the active site sufficiently to place the abstracted hydrogen atom of M-IV within 6 A of the heme iron, and ~4 A of the oxygen of Fe-ligated water.
