• Structural insights into the mechanism of Escherichia coli YmdB: A 2'-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose deacetylase.

  The Escherichia coli protein YmdB belongs to the macrodomain protein family, which can bind ADP-ribose (ADPr) and its derivatives. Recently, YmdB was reported to be capable of deacetylating O-acetyl-ADP-ribose (OAADPr) to yield ADPr and free acetate. To study the substrate specificity and catalyti ... >> More

  The Escherichia coli protein YmdB belongs to the macrodomain protein family, which can bind ADP-ribose (ADPr) and its derivatives. Recently, YmdB was reported to be capable of deacetylating O-acetyl-ADP-ribose (OAADPr) to yield ADPr and free acetate. To study the substrate specificity and catalytic mechanism, the crystal structures of E. coli YmdB in complex with ADPr, double mutant N25AD35A complexed with 2'-OAADPr, and Y126A/ADPr complex were solved at 1.8Å, 2.8Å and 3.0Å resolution, respectively. Structural and biochemical studies reveal that YmdB has substrate specificity against 2'-OAADPr. The conserved residues Asn25 and Asp35 are crucial for catalytic activity, and an active water molecule is proposed as the nucleophile to attack the acetyl group of 2'-OAADPr. Our findings indicate that the conserved phenyl group of Tyr126 plays a crucial role in catalytic activity by stabilizing the right orientation of distal ribose and that Gly32 may be important for activity by interacting with the acetyl group of 2'-OAADPr. Based on these observations, a model of YmdB in complex with 2'-OAADPr was made to illustrate the proposed catalytic mechanism of YmdB. << Less

  Sirtuins are a family of protein lysine deacetylases, which regulate gene silencing, metabolism, life span, and chromatin structure.

  Sirtuins are a family of protein lysine deacetylases, which regulate gene silencing, metabolism, life span, and chromatin structure. Sirtuins utilize NAD(+) to deacetylate proteins, yielding O-acetyl-ADP-ribose (OAADPr) as a reaction product. The macrodomain is a ubiquitous protein module known to bind ADP-ribose derivatives, which diverged through evolution to support many different protein functions and pathways. The observation that some sirtuins and macrodomains are physically linked as fusion proteins or genetically coupled through the same operon, provided a clue that their functions might be connected. Indeed, here we demonstrate that the product of the sirtuin reaction OAADPr is a substrate for several related macrodomain proteins: human MacroD1, human MacroD2, Escherichia coli YmdB, and the sirtuin-linked MacroD-like protein from Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, we show that the cell extracts derived from MacroD-deficient Neurospora crassa strain exhibit a major reduction in the ability to hydrolyze OAADPr. Our data support a novel function of macrodomains as OAADPr deacetylases and potential in vivo regulators of cellular OAADPr produced by NAD(+)-dependent deacetylation. << Less
