Abstract
Muconate lactonizing enzymes (MLEs) convert cis,cis-muconates to muconolactones in microbes as part of the beta-ketoadipate pathway; some also dehalogenate muconate derivatives of xenobiotic haloaromatics. There are three different MLE classes unrelated by evolution. We present the X-ray structure of a eukaryotic MLE, Neurospora crassa 3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate lactonizing enzyme (NcCMLE) at 2.5 A resolution, with a seven-bladed beta propeller fold. It is related neither to bacterial MLEs nor to other beta propeller enzymes, but is structurally similar to the G protein beta subunit. It reveals a novel metal-independent cycloisomerase motif unlike the bacterial metal cofactor MLEs. Together, the bacterial MLEs and NcCMLE structures comprise a striking structural example of functional convergence in enzymes for 1,2-addition-elimination of carboxylic acids. NcCMLE and bacterial MLEs may enhance the reaction rate differently: the former by electrophilic catalysis and the latter by electrostatic stabilization of the enolate.

Figure 7. Alignment of the MLE and CMLE Active SitesThe MLE (cyan) and CMLE (dark gold) active site residues around the docked substrates are shown, with the reactive substrate double bonds aligned, indicating the different binding modes with respect to the positive charge in the two active sites and the conserved hydrophobic pockets between the active sites.
