Due to its high substrate specificity, LysDH serves as a valuable tool for l-lysine quantification. However, the molecular basis of this specificity has remained unclear because of the lack of substrate-bound structures. In this study, we determined the cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of LysDH from the thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus (GstLysDH) in the apo form at 2.9 A resolution and in complex with NAD(+) and l-lysine at 2.5 A resolution. GstLysDH assembles as a tetramer, which undergoes a global conformational transition upon NAD(+) binding. Structural analysis revealed that the alpha-carboxyl and alpha-amino groups of l-lysine were coordinated by oppositely charged residues, thereby orienting the epsilon-amino group toward the nicotinamide ring of NAD(+) and anchoring the substrate in the optimal binding mode. This precise recognition mechanism accounts for the enzyme's strict specificity for the epsilon-amino group of l-lysine. Furthermore, comparative structural analysis with l-phenylalanine dehydrogenase suggests that the oxidative deamination in GstLysDH proceeds through a conserved hydride transfer mechanism. Together, these insights establish a structural framework for the rational design and industrial application of LysDH and related amino acid dehydrogenases.
