ABSTRACT
|
|
|
| |
|
Tk-subtilisin, a subtilisin homologue (Gly70-Gly398) from
Thermococcus kodakarensis, is matured from its precursor, Pro-Tk-subtilisin
[Tk-subtilisin in a pro form (Gly1-Gly398)], by autoprocessing and degradation
of propeptide [Tk-propeptide, a propeptide of Tk-subtilisin (Gly1-Leu69)]. The
scissile peptide bond between Leu69 and Gly70 of Pro-Tk-subtilisin is first
self-cleaved to produce an inactive Tk-propeptide:Tk-subtilisin complex, in
which the C-terminal region of Tk-propeptide binds to the active-site cleft of
Tk-subtilisin. Tk-propeptide is then dissociated from Tk-subtilisin and degraded
by Tk-subtilisin to release active Tk-subtilisin. To examine whether the
mutation of Leu69 to Pro, which is the most unfavourable residue in the P1
position for subtilisins, affects the maturation of Pro-Tk-subtilisin, the
Pro-Tk-subtilisin and Tk-propeptide derivatives with this mutation (Pro-L69P and
L69P-propeptide) were constructed and characterized. Pro-L69P was autoprocessed
more slowly than Pro-Tk-subtilisin. Nevertheless, it matured to Tk-subtilisin
more rapidly than Pro-Tk-subtilisin because L69P-propeptide was degraded by
Tk-subtilisin more rapidly than Tk-propeptide. The chaperone function and
stability of L69P-propeptide were comparable to those of Tk-propeptide, whereas
the inhibitory potency and binding ability of L69P-propeptide were considerably
reduced compared to those of Tk-propeptide. The crystal structure of the complex
between L69P-propeptide and S324A-subtilisin (i.e. a protease activity-defective
mutant) revealed that the C-terminal region of L69P-propeptide does not well fit
into the substrate binding pockets of Tk-subtilisin (S1-S4 subsites) as a result
of a conformational change caused by the mutation. These results suggest that
the Leu→Pro mutation accelerates the maturation of Pro-Tk-subtilisin by
reducing the binding ability of Tk-propeptide to Tk-subtilisin. DATABASE: The
coordinates and structure factors have been deposited in the RCSB Protein Data
Bank under ID code: 3VV2. STRUCTURED DIGITAL ABSTRACT: Pro-Tk-subtilisin and
Pro-Tk-subtilisin cleave by enzymatic study (View interaction) L69P-propeptide
