Characterization of an aldolase-dehydrogenase complex from the cholesterol degradation pathway of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Carere J., McKenna S.E., Kimber M.S., Seah S.Y.
HsaF and HsaG are an aldolase and dehydrogenase from the cholesterol degradation pathway of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. HsaF could be heterologously expressed and purified as a soluble dimer, but the enzyme was inactive in the absence of HsaG. HsaF catalyzes the aldol cleavage of 4-hydroxy-2-oxoac ... >> More
HsaF and HsaG are an aldolase and dehydrogenase from the cholesterol degradation pathway of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. HsaF could be heterologously expressed and purified as a soluble dimer, but the enzyme was inactive in the absence of HsaG. HsaF catalyzes the aldol cleavage of 4-hydroxy-2-oxoacids to produce pyruvate and an aldehyde. The enzyme requires divalent metals for activity, with a preference for Mn(2+). The Km values for 4-hydroxy-2-oxoacids were about 20-fold lower than observed for the aldolase homologue, BphI from the polychlorinated biphenyl degradation pathway. Acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde were channeled directly to the dehydrogenase, HsaG, without export to the bulk solvent where they were transformed to acyl-CoA in an NAD(+) and coenzyme A dependent reaction. HsaG is able to utilize aldehydes up to five carbons in length as substrates, with similar catalytic efficiencies. The HsaF-HsaG complex was crystallized and its structure was determined to a resolution of 1.93 Å. Substitution of serine 41 in HsaG with isoleucine or aspartate resulted in about 35-fold increase in Km for CoA but only 4-fold increase in Km dephospho-CoA, suggesting that this residue interacts with the 3'-ribose phosphate of CoA. A second protein annotated as a 4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoic acid aldolase in M. tuberculosis (MhpE, Rv3469c) was expressed and purified, but was found to lack aldolase activity. Instead this enzyme was found to possess oxaloacetate decarboxylase activity, consistent with the conservation (with the 4-hydroxy-2-oxoacid aldolases) of residues involved in pyruvate enolate stabilization. << Less

Rational design of stereoselectivity in the class II pyruvate aldolase BphI.

BphI, a pyruvate-specific class II aldolase, catalyzes the reversible carbon-carbon bond formation of 4-hydroxy-2-oxoacids up to eight carbons in length.

BphI, a pyruvate-specific class II aldolase, catalyzes the reversible carbon-carbon bond formation of 4-hydroxy-2-oxoacids up to eight carbons in length. During the aldol addition catalyzed by BphI, the S-configured stereogenic center at C4 is created via attack of a pyruvate enolate intermediate on the si face of the aldehyde carbonyl of acetaldehyde to form 4(S)-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate. Replacement of a Leu-87 residue within the active site of the enzyme with polar asparagine and bulky tryptophan led to enzymes with no detectable aldolase activity. These variants retained decarboxylase activity for the smaller oxaloacetate substrate, which is not inhibited by excess 4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate, confirming the results from molecular modeling that Leu-87 interacts with the C4-methyl of 4(S)-hydroxy-2-oxoacids. Double variants L87N;Y290F and L87W;Y290F were constructed to enable the binding of 4(R)-hydroxy-2-oxoacids by relieving the steric hindrance between the 5-methyl group of these compounds and the hydroxyl substituent on the phenyl ring of Tyr-290. The resultant enzymes were shown to exclusively utilize only 4(R)- and not 4(S)-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate as the substrate. Polarimetric analysis confirmed that the double variants are able to synthesize 4-hydroxy-2-oxoacids up to eight carbons in length, which were the opposite stereoisomer compared to those produced by the wild-type enzyme. Overall the k(cat)/K(m) values for pyruvate and aldehydes in the aldol addition reactions were affected ≤10-fold in the double variants relative to the wild-type enzyme. Thus, stereocomplementary class II pyruvate aldolases are now available to create chiral 4-hydroxy-2-oxoacid skeletons as synthons for organic reactions. << Less

Characterization of an aldolase-dehydrogenase complex that exhibits substrate channeling in the polychlorinated biphenyls degradation pathway.
Baker P., Pan D., Carere J., Rossi A., Wang W., Seah S.Y.K.
An aldolase and dehydrogenase complex from the polychlorinated biphenyl degradation pathway of the bacterium Burkholderia xenovorans LB400 was purified. The aldolase, BphI, had the highest activity with Mn(2+) as the cofactor and was able to transform 4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate and 4-hydroxy-2-oxoh ... >> More
An aldolase and dehydrogenase complex from the polychlorinated biphenyl degradation pathway of the bacterium Burkholderia xenovorans LB400 was purified. The aldolase, BphI, had the highest activity with Mn(2+) as the cofactor and was able to transform 4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate and 4-hydroxy-2-oxohexanoate to pyruvate and acetaldehyde or propionaldehyde with similar specificity constants. Aldolase activity was competitively inhibited by the pyruvate enolate analogue, oxalate, with a K(ic) of 0.93 microM. The pH-rate profiles suggested the involvement of a pK(a) 7.7 catalytic base in the reaction mechanism. BphI activity was activated 15-fold when substrate turnover was occurring in the dehydrogenase, BphJ, which can be attributed partially to nicotinamide coenzyme binding to BphJ. BphJ had similar specificity constants for acetaldehyde or propionaldehyde and was able to utilize aliphatic aldehydes from two to five carbons in length as substrates, although K(m) values for these aldehyes were >20 mM. When 4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate was provided as a substrate to the BphI-BphJ complex in a coupled enzyme assay, no lag in the progress curve of BphJ was observed. When 1 mM propionaldehyde was added exogenously to a reaction mixture containing 0.1 mM 4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate, 95% of the CoA esters produced was acetyl CoA. Conversely, 99% of the CoA esters produced was propionyl CoA when a 10-fold molar excess of exogenous acetaldehyde was added in a reaction mixture containing 4-hydroxy-2-oxohexanoate. These results demonstrate that acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde, products of the BphI reaction, are not released in the bulk solvent but are channeled directly to the dehydrogenase. << Less
