Publication Abstract from PubMed
We determined the crystal structure of Thr1, the self-standing adenylation domain involved in the nonribosomal-like biosynthesis of free 4-chlorothreonine in Streptomyces sp. OH-5093. Thr1 shows two monomers in the crystallographic asymmetric unit with different relative orientations of the C- and N-terminal subdomains both in the presence of substrates and in the unliganded form. Cocrystallization with substrates, adenosine 5'-triphosphate and l-threonine, yielded one monomer containing the two substrates and the other in complex with l-threonine adenylate, locked in a postadenylation state. Steady-state kinetics showed that Thr1 activates l-Thr and its stereoisomers, as well as d-Ala, l- and d-Ser, albeit with lower efficiency. Modeling of these substrates in the active site highlighted the molecular bases of substrate discrimination. This work provides the first crystal structure of a threonine-activating adenylation enzyme, a contribution to the studies on conformational rearrangement in adenylation domains and on substrate recognition in nonribosomal biosynthesis. DATABASE: Structural data are available in the Protein Data Bank under the accession number 5N9W and 5N9X.
