Vitamin B6 biosynthesis: formation of pyridoxine 5'-phosphate from 4-(phosphohydroxy)-L-threonine and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate by PdxA and PdxJ protein.
Laber B., Maurer W., Scharf S., Stepusin K., Schmidt F.S.
In Escherichia coli the coenzyme pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is synthesised de novo by a pathway that is thought to involve the condensation of 4-(phosphohydroxy)-L-threonine and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose, catalysed by the enzymes PdxA and PdxJ, to form either pyridoxine (vitamin B6) or pyridoxine 5'-ph ... >> More
In Escherichia coli the coenzyme pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is synthesised de novo by a pathway that is thought to involve the condensation of 4-(phosphohydroxy)-L-threonine and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose, catalysed by the enzymes PdxA and PdxJ, to form either pyridoxine (vitamin B6) or pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP). Here we show that incubation of PdxJ with PdxA, 4-(phosphohydroxy)-L-threonine, NAD and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate, but not 1-deoxy-D-xylulose, results in the formation of PNP. The PNP formed was characterised by (i) cochromatography with an authentic standard, (ii) conversion to pyridoxine by alkaline phosphatase treatment, and (iii) UV and fluorescence spectroscopy. Furthermore, when [2-(14)C]1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate was used as a substrate, the radioactivity was incorporated into PNP. These results clarify the previously unknown role of PdxJ in the de novo PLP biosynthetic pathway. The sugar used as substrate by PdxJ is 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate rather than the previously assumed 1-deoxy-D-xylulose. The first vitamin B6 vitamer synthesised is PNP, and not pyridoxine. << Less

Pyridoxine 5'-phosphate synthase: de novo synthesis of vitamin B6 and beyond.

Vitamin B(6) is an essential component in human diet. However, some organisms have the required machinery for its synthesis. There are two independent and autoexclusive groups of genes, pdx and SOR1. Pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP) synthase is the key enzyme in the pdx group. It catalyses a multiste ... >> More
Vitamin B(6) is an essential component in human diet. However, some organisms have the required machinery for its synthesis. There are two independent and autoexclusive groups of genes, pdx and SOR1. Pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP) synthase is the key enzyme in the pdx group. It catalyses a multistep ring closure reaction yielding PNP and inorganic phosphate (Pi). This is the last step in the de novo synthetic pathway; afterwards, PNP enters the salvage pathway to be transformed to the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate cofactor. Because PNP synthase is not present in humans but is found in many human pathogens, the enzyme can be regarded as a potential target for the development of novel drugs. We have recently solved the structure of PNP synthase in complex with several ligands. The structural information allowed us to characterise the active site of the enzyme and identify the catalytically important residues. Furthermore, a detailed reaction mechanism could be proposed. << Less

<h4>Background</h4>Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is the active form of vitamin B(6) that acts as an essential, ubiquitous coenzyme in amino acid metabolism. In Escherichia coli, the pathway of the de novo biosynthesis of vitamin B(6) results in the formation of pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP), which can be regarded as the first synthesized B(6) vitamer. PNP synthase (commonly referred to as PdxJ) is a homooctameric enzyme that catalyzes the final step in this pathway, a complex intramolecular condensation reaction between 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5'-phosphate and 1-amino-acetone-3-phosphate.<h4>Results</h4>The crystal structure of E. coli PNP synthase was solved by single isomorphous replacement with anomalous scattering and refined at a resolution of 2.0 A. The monomer of PNP synthase consists of one compact domain that adopts the abundant TIM barrel fold. Intersubunit contacts are mediated by three additional helices, respective to the classical TIM barrel helices, generating a tetramer of symmetric dimers with 422 symmetry. In the shared active sites of the active dimers, Arg20 is directly involved in substrate binding of the partner monomer. Furthermore, the structure of PNP synthase with its physiological products, PNP and P(i), was determined at 2.3 A resolution, which provides insight into the dynamic action of the enzyme and allows us to identify amino acids critical for enzymatic function.<h4>Conclusion</h4>The high-resolution structures of the free enzyme and the enzyme-product complex of E. coli PNP synthase suggest essentials of the enzymatic mechanism. The main catalytic features are active site closure upon substrate binding by rearrangement of one C-terminal loop of the TIM barrel, charge-charge stabilization of the protonated Schiff-base intermediate, the presence of two phosphate binding sites, and a water channel that penetrates the beta barrel and allows the release of water molecules in the closed state. All related PNP synthases are predicted to fold into a similar TIM barrel pattern and have comparable active site architecture. Thus, a common mechanism can be anticipated. << Less

Pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP) synthase is the last enzyme in the de novo biosynthesis of vitamin B(6) catalyzing the complicated ring-closure reaction between 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate and 1-amino-acetone-3-phosphate. Here we present the crystal structures of four PNP synthase complexes with substrates and substrate analogs. While the overall fold of the enzyme is conserved in all complexes, characteristic readjustments were observed in the active site. The complementary structural information allowed us to postulate a detailed reaction mechanism. The observed binding mode of substrates indicates how the first reaction intermediate, the Schiff-base conjugate, is formed. The most important mechanistic features are the presence of two phosphate-binding sites with distinct affinities and the existence of a water relay system for the release of reaction water molecules. Furthermore, the complexes provide the basis to rationalize the open-closed transition of a flexible loop located on the C-terminal side of the TIM-barrel. Binding of both substrate molecules to the active site seems to be a prerequisite to trigger this transition. Highly conserved mechanistically important residues in the PNP synthase family imply a similar active site organization and reaction mechanism for all family members. Due to the exclusive presence of PNP synthase in a subset of eubacteria, including several well-known pathogens, and due to its outstanding physiological importance for these organisms, the enzyme appears to be a promising novel target for antibacterial drug design. << Less
