Abstract
-
The gene product of dddC (Uniprot code G5CZI2), from
the Gram-negative marine bacterium Oceanimonas doudoroffii,
is a methylmalonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase
(OdoMMSDH) enzyme. MMSDH is a member of the aldehyde
dehydrogenase superfamily, and it catalyzes the NADdependent
decarboxylation of methylmalonate semialdehyde
to propionyl-CoA. We determined the crystal structure
of OdoMMSDH at 2.9 Å resolution. Among the twelve molecules
in the asymmetric unit, six subunits complexed with
NAD, which was carried along the protein purification steps.
OdoMMSDH exists as a stable homodimer in solution; each
subunit consists of three distinct domains: an NAD-binding
domain, a catalytic domain, and an oligomerization domain.
Computational modeling studies of the OdoMMSDH structure
revealed key residues important for substrate recognition
and tetrahedral intermediate stabilization. Two basic residues
(Arg103 and Arg279) and six hydrophobic residues (Phe150,
Met153, Val154, Trp157, Met281, and Phe449) were found to
be important for tetrahedral intermediate binding. Modeling
data also suggested that the backbone amide of Cys280 and
the side chain amine of Asn149 function as the oxyanion
hole during the enzymatic reaction. Our results provide useful insights into the substrate recognition site residues and
catalytic mechanism of OdoMMSDH.
