H.; Vogt, T.; Functional and Structural Characterization of a Cation-dependent O-Methyltransferase from the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. Strain PCC 6803 J. Biol.

  • Abstract
  • BibText
  • RIS

The coding sequence of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 slr0095 gene was cloned and functionally expressed in Escherichia coli. The corresponding enzyme was classified as a cation- and S-adenosyl-l-methionine-dependent O-methyltransferase (SynOMT), consistent with considerable amino acid sequence identities to eukaryotic O-methyltransferases (OMTs). The substrate specificity of SynOMT was similar with those of plant and mammalian CCoAOMT-like proteins accepting a variety of hydroxycinnamic acids and flavonoids as substrates. In contrast to the known mammalian and plant enzymes, which exclusively methylate the meta-hydroxyl position of aromatic di- and trihydroxy systems, Syn-OMT also methylates the para-position of hydroxycinnamic acids like 5-hydroxyferulic and 3,4,5-trihydroxycinnamic acid, resulting in the formation of novel compounds. The x-ray structure of SynOMT indicates that the active site allows for two alternative orientations of the hydroxylated substrates in comparison to the active sites of animal and plant enzymes, consistent with the observed preferred para-methylation and position promiscuity. Lys3 close to the N terminus of the recombinant protein appears to play a key role in the activity of the enzyme. The possible implications of these results with respect to modifications of precursors of polymers like lignin are discussed.

  • Abstract
  • BibText
  • RIS

Plant S-adenosyl-l-methionine-dependent class I natural product O-methyltransferases (OMTs), related to animal catechol OMTs, are dependent on bivalent cations and strictly specific for the meta position of aromatic vicinal dihydroxy groups. While the primary activity of these class I enzymes is methylation of caffeoyl coenzyme A OMTs, a distinct subset is able to methylate a wider range of substrates, characterized by the promiscuous phenylpropanoid and flavonoid OMT. The observed broad substrate specificity resides in two regions: the N-terminus and a variable insertion loop near the C-terminus, which displays the lowest degree of sequence conservation between the two subfamilies. Structural and biochemical data, based on site-directed mutagenesis and domain exchange between the two enzyme types, present evidence that only small topological changes among otherwise highly conserved 3-D structures are sufficient to differentiate between an enzymatic generalist and an enzymatic specialist in plant natural product methylation.

  • Abstract
  • BibText
  • RIS

In plant secondary metabolism, β‐acetal ester‐dependent acyltransferases, such as the 1‐O ‐sinapoyl‐β‐glucose:l ‐malate sinapoyltransferase (SMT; EC 2.3.1.92), are homologous to serine carboxypeptidases. Mutant analyses and modeling of Arabidopsis SMT (AtSMT) have predicted amino acid residues involved in substrate recognition and catalysis, confirming the main functional elements conserved within the serine carboxypeptidase protein family. However, the functional shift from hydrolytic to acyltransferase activity and structure–function relationship of AtSMT remain obscure. To address these questions, a heterologous expression system for AtSMT has been developed that relies on Saccharomyces cerevisiae and an episomal leu2‐d vector. Codon usage adaptation of AtSMT cDNA raised the produced SMT activity by a factor of approximately three. N‐terminal fusion to the leader peptide from yeast proteinase A and transfer of this expression cassette to a high copy vector led to further increase in SMT expression by factors of 12 and 42, respectively. Finally, upscaling the biomass production by fermenter cultivation lead to another 90‐fold increase, resulting in an overall 3900‐fold activity compared to the AtSMT cDNA of plant origin. Detailed kinetic analyses of the recombinant protein indicated a random sequential bi‐bi mechanism for the SMT‐catalyzed transacylation, in contrast to a double displacement (ping‐pong) mechanism, characteristic of serine carboxypeptidases.
