Abstract
The pikromycin (Pik)/methymycin biosynthetic pathway of Streptomyces venezuelae represents a valuable system for dissecting the fundamental mechanisms of modular polyketide biosynthesis, aminodeoxysugar assembly, glycosyltransfer, and hydroxylation leading to the production of a series of macrolide antibiotics, including the natural ketolides narbomycin and pikromycin. In this study, we describe four x-ray crystal structures and allied functional studies for PikC, the remarkable P450 monooxygenase responsible for production of a number of related macrolide products from the Pik pathway. The results provide important new insights into the structural basis for the C10/C12 and C12/C14 hydroxylation patterns for the 12-(YC-17) and 14-membered ring (narbomycin) macrolides, respectively. This includes two different ligand-free structures in an asymmetric unit (resolution 2.1 A) and two co-crystal structures with bound endogenous substrates YC-17 (resolution 2.35 A)or narbomycin (resolution 1.7 A). A central feature of the enzyme-substrate interaction involves anchoring of the desosamine residue in two alternative binding pockets based on a series of distinct amino acid residues that form a salt bridge and a hydrogen-bonding network with the deoxysugar C3' dimethylamino group. Functional significance of the salt bridge was corroborated by site-directed mutagenesis that revealed a key role for Glu-94 in YC-17 binding and Glu-85 for narbomycin binding. Taken together, the x-ray structure analysis, site-directed mutagenesis, and corresponding product distribution studies reveal that PikC substrate tolerance and product diversity result from a combination of alternative anchoring modes rather than an induced fit mechanism.

FIGURE 2. Ribbon representation of ligand-free PikC. A, open, and B, closed conformations of ligand-free PikC (2BVJ). C, overlay of both conformations, open (cyan) and closed (gray), demonstrating that in the open form, the F and G helix are bent away from the heme to enable substrate access to the active site. Molecules in C are rotated 90° toward the viewer along a horizontal axis in the plane of drawing when compared with A and B. The F helix is not seen in this orientation. Closed conformation is related within r.m.s. deviations of 0.58 Å for C atoms to catalytically relevant YC-17- and narbomycin-bound forms. The heme co-factor is shown in red.

FIGURE 6. Functional activity of PikC mutants. High pressure liquid chromatography analyses of PikC-catalyzed reactions using YC-17 (A series) and narbomycin (B series) as substrate are shown. A1/B1, negative control in the absence of PikC. A2/B2, PikC wild type (PikC-wt). Mutants are used as indicated in the figure. Compound identities are as follows: 1, YC-17; 2, neomethymycin; 3, methymycin; 4, narbomycin; 5, pikromycin. Conversion of narbomycin at low efficiency is probably due to use of exogenous redox partners (e.g. spinach ferredoxin reductase) in P450 reconstitution assays.
