Structure and cooperativity of a T-state mutant of histidine decarboxylase from Lactobacillus 30a.

ABSTRACT

Histidine decarboxylase (HDC) from Lactobacillus 30a converts histidine to histamine, a process that enables the bacteria to maintain the optimum pH range for cell growth. HDC is regulated by pH; it is active at low pH and inactive at neutral to alkaline pH. The X-ray structure of HDC at pH 8 revealed that a helix was disordered, resulting in the disruption of the substrate-binding site. The HDC trimer has also been shown to exhibit cooperative kinetics at neutral pH, that is, histidine can trigger a T-state to R-state transition. The D53,54N mutant of HDC has an elevated Km, even at low pH, indicating that the enzyme assumes the low activity T-state. We have solved the structures of the D53,54N mutant at low pH, with and without the substrate analog histidine methyl ester (HME) bound. Structural analysis shows that the apo-D53,54N mutant is in the inactive or T-state and that binding of the substrate analog induces the enzyme to adopt the active or R-state. A mechanism for the cooperative transition is proposed.

Figure 2. Binding of HME in the active site of the D53,54N mutant of HDC. Residues from the right-hand monomer of the molecular interface are labeled with ( ). The pyruvoyl moiety (PVL) is part of the left-hand monomer and is shown bonded to HME. Hydrogen bonds are drawn with dashed lines.

Figure 4.
Figure 4. Superposition of the wild-type pH 8 (T-state) and pH 4.8 (R-state) models at the molecular interface shows how the change in the position of residue E227 affects its interaction with R64 . The pH 8 model is shown with light bonds and pH 4.8 model with dark bonds. In the R-state model, E227 forms ion pair interactions across the molecular interface with R48 and R64 . R64 also forms an interaction with D231. In the T state, interactions with E227 are not observed. R64 only interacts with D231, and R48 is disordered.
