Title: Structure of the catalytic domain of the colistin resistance enzyme MCR-1

Abstract

Due to the paucity of novel antibiotics, colistin has become a last resort antibiotic for treating multidrug resistant bacteria. Colistin acts by binding the lipid A component of lipopolysaccharides and subsequently disrupting the bacterial membrane. The recently identified plasmid-encoded MCR-1 enzyme is the first transmissible colistin resistance determinant and is a cause for concern for the spread of this resistance trait. MCR-1 is a phosphoethanolamine transferase that catalyzes the addition of phosphoethanolamine to lipid A to decrease colistin affinity. The structure of the catalytic domain of MCR-1 at 1.32 Å reveals the active site is similar to that of related phosphoethanolamine transferases. The putative nucleophile for catalysis, threonine 285, is phosphorylated in cMCR-1 and a zinc is present at a conserved site in addition to three zincs more peripherally located in the active site. As noted for catalytic domains of other phosphoethanolamine transferases, binding sites for the lipid A and phosphatidylethanolamine substrates are not apparent in the cMCR-1 structure, suggesting that they are present in the membrane domain.

Crystal structure of the Entamoeba histolytica RNA lariat debranching enzyme EhDbr1 reveals a catalytic Zn ²⁺/Mn ²⁺ heterobinucleation

Journal Article Ransey, Elizabeth ; Paredes, Eduardo ; Dey, Sourav K. ; ... - FEBS Letters

Here, the RNA lariat debranching enzyme, Dbr1, is a metallophosphoesterase that cleaves 2'-5' phosphodiester bonds within intronic lariats. Previous reports have indicated that Dbr1 enzymatic activity is supported by diverse metal ions including Ni ²⁺, Mn ²⁺, Mg ²⁺, Fe ²⁺, and Zn ²⁺. While in initial structures of the Entamoeba histolytica Dbr1 only one of the two catalytic metal-binding sites were observed to be occupied (with a Mn ²⁺ ion), recent structures determined a Zn ²⁺/Fe ²⁺ heterobinucleation. We solved a high-resolution X-ray crystal structure (1.8 Å) of the E. histolytica Dbr1 and determined a Zn ²⁺/Mn ²⁺ occupancy.more »« less

Structure of the Brachydanio Rerio Polo-Like Kinase 1 (Plk1) Catalytic Domain in Complex With An Extended Inhibitor Targeting the Adaptive Pocket of the Enzyme

Journal Article Elling, R.A. ; Fucini, R.V. ; Hanan, E.J. ; ... - Acta Crystallogr.F Struc.Biol.Crystalliz.Commun.64:686,2008

Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) is a member of the Polo-like kinase family of serine/threonine kinases involved in the regulation of cell-cycle progression and cytokinesis and is an attractive target for the development of anticancer therapeutics. The catalytic domain of this enzyme shares significant primary amino-acid homology and structural similarity with another mitotic kinase, Aurora A. While screening an Aurora A library of ATP-competitive compounds, a urea-containing inhibitor with low affinity for mouse Aurora A but with submicromolar potency for human and zebrafish Plk1 (hPlk1 and zPlk1, respectively) was identified.

The structure of the catalytic domain of a plant cellulose synthase and its assembly into dimers

Journal Article Olek, Anna T. ; Rayon, Catherine ; Makowski, Lee ; ... - Plant Cell

Cellulose microfibrils are para-crystalline arrays of several dozen linear (1→4)-β-d-glucan chains synthesized at the surface of the cell membrane by large, multimeric complexes of synthase proteins. Recombinant catalytic domains of rice ( Oryza sativa) CesA8 cellulose synthase form dimers reversibly as the fundamental scaffold units of architecture in the synthase complex. Specificity of binding to UDP and UDP-Glc indicates a properly folded protein, and binding kinetics indicate that each monomer independently synthesizes single glucan chains of cellulose, i.e., two chains per dimer pair. In contrast to structure modeling predictions, solution x-ray scattering studies demonstrate that the monomer is a two-domain,more »« less

Structure of the dihydrolipoamide succinyltransferase catalytic domain from Escherichia coli in a novel crystal form: a tale of a common protein crystallization contaminant

Journal Article Andi, Babak ; Soares, Alexei S. ; Shi, Wuxian ; ... - Acta Crystallographica. Section F, Structural Biology Communications

The crystallization of amidase, the ultimate enzyme in the Trp-dependent auxin-biosynthesis pathway, from Arabidopsis thaliana was attempted using protein samples with at least 95% purity. Cube-shaped crystals that were assumed to be amidase crystals that belonged to space groupI4 (unit-cell parameters a = b = 128.6, c= 249.7 Å) were obtained and diffracted to 3.0 Å resolution. Molecular replacement using structures from the PDB containing the amidase signature fold as search models was unsuccessful in yielding a convincing solution. Using theSequence-Independent Molecular replacement Based on Available Databases(SIMBAD) program, it was discovered that the structure corresponded to dihydrolipoamide succinyltransferase from Escherichiamore »« less
