Abstract
The Escherichia coli enterobactin synthetic cluster is composed of six proteins, EntA-EntF, that form the enterobactin molecule from three serine molecules and three molecules of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB). EntC, EntB and EntA catalyze the three-step synthesis of DHB from chorismate. EntA is a member of the short-chain oxidoreductase (SCOR) family of proteins and catalyzes the final step in DHB synthesis, the NAD+-dependent oxidation of 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid to DHB. The structure of EntA has been determined by multi-wavelength anomalous dispersion methods. Here, the 2.0 A crystal structure of EntA in the unliganded form is presented. Analysis of the structure in light of recent structural and bioinformatic analysis of other members of the SCOR family provides insight into the residues involved in cofactor and substrate binding.
Figure 3.
Figure 3 Structure of the EntA monomer and tetramer. (a) Ribbon diagram of the EntA monomer. The central -sheet is shown in red, while the surrounding helices are shown in blue. The secondary-structural elements are labeled. Note that helices 1 and 3 are not present in the EntA structure; in accordance with secondary-structure nomenclature for prior SCOR proteins (Duax et al., 2000[Duax, W. L., Ghosh, D. & Pletnev, V. (2000). Vitam. Horm. 58, 121-148.]), the helices are labeled 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7. (b) The EntA tetramer is shown viewed down one twofold axis of 222 crystallographic symmetry. The two top and two bottom subunits interact around the four-helix bundle formed by helices 5 and 6. The C-terminal loops and 7 form interactions between dimers.
Figure 4.
Figure 4 Proposed substrate-binding pocket of EntA. The residues of the EntA protein predicted by covariance analysis to contribute to 2,3-DHDHB-specific binding are labeled. The cofactor molecule (shown in orange) was modeled into the unliganded EntA structure by superimposing the 7 -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (PDB code 1fmc ) structure onto the EntA molecule.
