Identifying latent enzyme activities: substrate ambiguity within modern bacterial sugar kinases.

The ability of enzymes to catalyze the transformation of multiple, structurally related substrates could empower the natural evolution of new catalytic functions. The prevalence of such substrate ambiguity in modern catalysts, however, is largely unknown. To search for ambiguous sugar kinases, we generated a bacterium incapable of performing the first step of the glycolytic pathway, the phosphorylation of glucose. This organism cannot survive with glucose as its sole source of carbon. Within its genome, we find three DNA sequences that, when transcribed from a powerful extrachromosomal promoter, can complement the auxotrophy of the organism. These sequences contain the nanK, yajF, and ycfX genes. In vitro, the NanK, YajF, and YcfX proteins function as rudimentary glucokinases with ambiguous substrate specificites, displaying k(cat)/K(m) values for the phosphorylation of glucose that are 10(4)-fold lower than the k(cat)/K(m) value of endogenous bacterial glucokinase. Our findings suggest that modern genomes harbor a wealth of latent enzyme activities and that extant metabolic pathways are equivocal, in contrast to their usual depiction. << Less

Divergent evolution of function in the ROK sugar kinase superfamily: role of enzyme loops in substrate specificity.
Larion M., Moore L.B., Thompson S.M., Miller B.G.
The d-allose and N-acetyl-d-mannosamine kinases of Escherichia coli K-12 are divergent members of the functionally diverse ROK (repressor, open reading frame, kinase) superfamily.

The d-allose and N-acetyl-d-mannosamine kinases of Escherichia coli K-12 are divergent members of the functionally diverse ROK (repressor, open reading frame, kinase) superfamily. Previous work in our laboratory has demonstrated that AlsK and NanK possess weak phosphoryl transfer activity toward the alternate substrate d-glucose. To gain insight into the evolutionary mechanisms that fuel the specialization of individual enzyme function, experimental laboratory evolution was conducted to improve the glucokinase activities of AlsK and NanK. Error-prone PCR was combined with in vivo functional selection in a glucokinase-deficient bacterium to identify four independent single nucleotide substitutions in the alsK and nanK genes that improve the glucokinase activity of each enzyme. The most advantageous substitutions, L84P in NanK and A73G in AlsK, enhance the kcat/Km values for phosphoryl transfer to glucose by 12-fold and 60-fold, respectively. Both substitutions co-localize to a variable loop region located between the fourth beta-sheet and the second alpha-helix of the ROK scaffold. A multiple sequence alignment of diverse ROK family members reveals that the A73G substitution in AlsK recapitulates a conserved glycine residue present in many ROK proteins, including some transcriptional repressors. Steady-state kinetic analyses of the selected AlsK and NanK variants demonstrate that their native activities toward d-allose and N-acetyl-d-mannosamine are largely unaffected by the glucokinase-enhancing substitutions. Substrate specificity profiling reveals that the A73G AlsK and L84P NanK variants display systematic improvements in the kcat/Km values for a variety of nonnative carbohydrates. This finding is consistent with an evolutionary process that includes the formation of intermediates possessing relaxed substrate specificities during the initial steps of enzyme functional divergence. << Less

A bifunctional enzyme catalyzes the first two steps in N-acetylneuraminic acid biosynthesis of rat liver. Purification and characterization of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase.
Hinderlich S., Staesche R., Zeitler R., Reutter W.
Biosynthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), a prominent component of glycoconjugates, is initiated by the action of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase (UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase, EC 5.1. 3.14) and N-acetylmannosamine kinase (ManNAc kinase, EC 2.7.1.60).

Biosynthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), a prominent component of glycoconjugates, is initiated by the action of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase (UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase, EC 5.1. 3.14) and N-acetylmannosamine kinase (ManNAc kinase, EC 2.7.1.60). We demonstrate for the first time that the two activities are parts of one bifunctional enzyme in rat liver. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity from rat liver cytosol using salmine sulfate precipitation and chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose, ATP-agarose, and Mono Q. The purification resulted in one polypeptide with an apparent molecular mass of 75 kDa. Immunoprecipitation with a polyclonal antibody against the polypeptide reduced both enzyme activities in equal amounts. Gel filtration analysis of purified UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase/ManNAc kinase showed that the polypeptide self-associates as a dimer and as a hexamer with apparent molecular masses of 150 and 450 kDa, respectively. The hexamer was fully active for both enzyme activities, whereas the dimer catalyzed only the phosphorylation of N-acetylmannosamine (ManNAc). Incubation of the dimer with UDP-N-acetylglucosamine led to reassembly of the fully active hexamer; maximal quantities of the hexamer were produced after incubation for 3 h. Kinetic analysis of purified hexameric and dimeric enzyme revealed significantly lower Michaelis constants (93 +/- 3 to 121 +/-15 microM for ManNAc and 1.18 +/- 0. 13 to 1.67 +/-0.20 mM for ATP) and higher cooperativity (Hill coefficients of 1.42 +/-0.16 to 1.17 +/- 0.06 for ManNAc and 1.30 +/- 0.09 to 1.05 +/-0.14 for ATP) for the hexamer for both substrates of ManNAc kinase. The Michaelis constant of UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase for its substrate was 11 +/-2 microM. The Hill coefficient of 0.45 +/-0.07 represents strongly negative cooperativity in substrate binding. UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase was feedback inhibited by CMP-Neu5Ac. Complete inhibition was achieved with 60 microM CMP-Neu5Ac, and highly positive cooperativity (Hill coefficient of 4.1) was found for inhibitor binding. << Less
