Tiivistelmä
Two functionally distinct homologous flavoprotein hydroxylases, PgaE and JadH, have been identified as branching points in the biosynthesis of the polyketide antibiotics gaudimycin C and jadomycin A, respectively. These evolutionarily related enzymes are both bifunctional and able to catalyze the same initial reaction, C-12 hydroxylation of the common angucyclinone intermediate prejadomycin. The enzymes diverge in their secondary activities, which include hydroxylation at C-12b by PgaE and dehydration at C-4a/C-12b by JadH. A further difference is that the C-12 hydroxylation is subject to substrate inhibition only in PgaE. Here we have identified regions associated with the C-12b hydroxylation in PgaE by extensive chimeragenesis, focusing on regions surrounding the active site. The results highlight the importance of a hairpin-beta motif near the dimer interface, with two nonconserved residues, P78 and I79 (corresponding to Q89 and F90, respectively, in JadH), and invariant residue H73 playing key roles. Kinetic characterization of PgaE variants demonstrates that the secondary C-12b hydroxylation and substrate inhibition by prejadomycin are likely to be interlinked. The crystal structure of the PgaE P78Q/I79F variant at 2.4 angstrom resolution confirms that the changes do not alter the conformation of the beta-strand secondary structure and that the side chains of these residues in effect point away from the active site toward the dimer interface. The results support a catalytic model for PgaE containing two binding modes for C-12 and C-12b hydroxylations, where binding of prejadomycin in the orientation for C-12b hydroxylation leads to substrate inhibition. The presence of an allosteric network is evident based on enzyme kinetics.
