Abstract
Deacetoxycephalosporin C synthase (DAOCS) is an iron(II) and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of penicillin N to deacetoxycephalosporin C, the committed step in the biosynthesis of cephalosporin antibiotics. The crystal structure of DAOCS revealed that the C terminus of one molecule is inserted into the active site of its neighbor in a cyclical fashion within a trimeric unit. This arrangement has hindered the generation of crystalline enzyme-substrate complexes. Therefore, we constructed a series of DAOCS mutants with modified C termini. Oxidation of 2-oxoglutarate was significantly uncoupled from oxidation of the penicillin substrate in certain truncated mutants. The extent of uncoupling varied with the number of residues deleted and the penicillin substrate used. Crystal structures were determined for the DeltaR306 mutant complexed with iron(II) and 2-oxoglutarate (to 2.10 A) and the DeltaR306A mutant complexed with iron(II), succinate and unhydrated carbon dioxide (to 1.96 A). The latter may mimic a product complex, and supports proposals for a metal-bound CO(2) intermediate during catalysis.

Figure 1. Structure of (a) iron(II) and 2-oxoglutarate complex of wild-type enzyme [Valegard et al 1998]; (b) iron(II) and 2-oxoglutarate complex of the DR306 mutant; and (c) iron(II), succinate and CO[2] complex of the DR307A mutant. The jelly-roll motif is shown in red, C termini are shown in blue, and the C terminus from symmetry related molecules in green.

Figure 3. A view of the structure of the DR307A mutant iron(II), succinate and CO[2] complex. (a) A similar view to that in Figure 2, with the above residues omitted for clarity. The electron density map is contoured to 1.29s; (b) close up view of the CO[2]-binding site with succinate and the side-chains of Val262 and Phe264 enclosing one face. The remaining face of the molecule is bordered by residues in the C terminus, the conformation of which may be significantly different in solution (see the text for a discussion). The electron density map is contoured to 1.69s.
