Abstract
Our structural comparison of the TIM barrel metal-dependent hydrolase(-like) superfamily suggests a classification of their divergent active sites into four types: alphabeta-binuclear, alpha-mononuclear, beta-mononuclear, and metal-independent subsets. The d-aminoacylase from Alcaligenes faecalis DA1 belongs to the beta-mononuclear subset due to the fact that the catalytically essential Zn(2+) is tightly bound at the beta site with coordination by Cys(96), His(220), and His(250), even though it possesses a binuclear active site with a weak alpha binding site. Additional Zn(2+), Cd(2+), and Cu(2+), but not Ni(2+), Co(2+), Mg(2+), Mn(2+), and Ca(2+), can inhibit enzyme activity. Crystal structures of these metal derivatives show that Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) bind at the alpha(1) subsite ligated by His(67), His(69), and Asp(366), while Cu(2+) at the alpha(2) subsite is chelated by His(67), His(69) and Cys(96). Unexpectedly, the crystal structure of the inactive H220A mutant displays that the endogenous Zn(2+) shifts to the alpha(3) subsite coordinated by His(67), His(69), Cys(96), and Asp(366), revealing that elimination of the beta site changes the coordination geometry of the alpha ion with an enhanced affinity. Kinetic studies of the metal ligand mutants such as C96D indicate the uniqueness of the unusual bridging cysteine and its involvement in catalysis. Therefore, the two metal-binding sites in the d-aminoacylase are interactive with partially mutual exclusion, thus resulting in widely different affinities for the activation/attenuation mechanism, in which the enzyme is activated by the metal ion at the beta site, but inhibited by the subsequent binding of the second ion at the alpha site.

FIG. 3. The metal centers. A, the F[o] - F[c] electron density maps of the native enzyme in complex with 100 mM ZnCl[2] contoured at 15 level and shown in magenta, with 50 mM CdCl[2] contoured at 15 level and shown in cyan, and with 100 mM CuCl[2] contoured at 18 level and shown in green. The metal ligands are shown as a ball-and-stick representation, with the Zn2+ and Cu2+ ions as magenta and green spheres, respectively. Zn2+ and Cd^2+ bind at the subsite, where Cu2+ binds at the [2] subsite. B, the 2F[o] - F[c] electron density maps of the H220A mutant contoured at 2.5 level and shown in cyan, and the difference map for the zinc ion contoured at 15 level and shown in magenta. The endogenous zinc ion binds at the [3] subsite instead of the site in this mutant. C, the 2F[o] - F[c] electron density map of the D366A mutant contoured at 2.5 level and shown in cyan, and the difference map for the zinc ion in complex with 100 mM ZnCl[2] contoured at 15 level and shown in magenta. The additional zinc ion binds at the [4] subsite. D, superposition of the native enzyme with 100 mM ZnCl[2] in blue, the native enzyme with 100 CuCl[2] in green, the H220A mutant in yellow, and the D366A mutant with 100 mM ZnCl[2] in red. The different metal coordination is carried out by small shifts in the side chains of ligands and small movements of the metal ions.

FIG. 4. The proposed mechanisms for catalysis (A) and metal attenuation (B). The numbers shown indicate the interatomic distances in angstroms. Asp366 maybe with assistance from His67 and His69, is responsible for the proton transfer from the water molecule to the amide nitrogen (3). The presence of the inhibitory metal ion at the [1] site might lower the pK[a] values of its ligand residues, His67, His69, and Asp366, and/or hold the active site water to perturb the proton shuttle and intermediate stabilization.

Fig. 3. The metal center. A, the 2F[o] F[c] electron density map in the zinc center contoured at the 3 level and is shown in green, and the weak density in the 2F[o] F[c] map for the loosely bound zinc ion contoured at the 2 level and is shown in purple. The structural refinement revealed that the enzyme binds two zinc ions with very different affinities. B, superposition of the bi-nickel center in urease (Protein Data Bank code 1UBP), the mononuclear iron center in cytosine deaminase (Protein Data Bank code 1K6W), and the bi-zinc center in D-aminoacylase, shown in red, blue, and green, respectively. The metal-binding site is more buried, while the site is more solvent-exposed. The residue numbering is labeled in the same color for each protein. The critical hallmark for the binuclear subset is a carboxylated lysine residue serving as a bridging ligand. A cysteine residue (Cys96) in D-aminoacylse, and the third conserved histidine (His214) in cytosine deaminase, compensate the missing carboxylated lysine.

Fig. 4. The putative substrate-binding site. A, the two acetate-binding sites in the active site cavity (Act1 and Act2). Residues surrounded the binding site are displayed as ball-and-stick representations and the zinc ion as a purple sphere. B, the proposed substrate-binding site with the modeled N-acetyl-D-methionine in ball-and-stick and the active water molecule (Wat) as a green sphere. The oxygen atoms of the acetates and substrate are expected to bind at the same position because of the extensive interactions. The first acetate may displace the attacking water molecule at the metal center.
