Abstract
By improving the expression and purification of Escherichia coli methionine aminopeptidase (eMetAP) and using slightly different crystallization conditions, the resolution of the parent structure was extended from 2.4 to 1.9 A resolution. This has permitted visualization of the coordination geometry and solvent structure of the active-site dinuclear metal center. One solvent molecule (likely a mu-hydroxide) bridges the trigonal bipyramidal (Co1) and octahedral (Co2) cobalt ions. A second solvent (possibly a hydroxide ion) is bound terminally to Co2. A monovalent cation binding site was also identified about 13 A away from the metal center at an interface between the two subdomains of the protein. The first structure of a substrate-like inhibitor, (3R)-amino-(2S)-hydroxyheptanoyl-L-Ala-L-Leu-L-Val-L-Phe-OMe, bound to a methionine aminopeptidase, has also been determined. This inhibitor coordinates the metal center through four interactions as follows: (i) ligation of the N-terminal (3R)-nitrogen to Co2, (ii, iii) bridging coordination of the (2S)-hydroxyl group, and (iv) terminal ligation to Co1 by the keto oxygen of the pseudo-peptide linkage. Inhibitor binding occurs with the displacement of two solvent ligands and the expansion of the coordination sphere of Co1. In addition to the tetradentate, bis-chelate metal coordination, the substrate analogue forms hydrogen bonds with His79 and His178, two conserved residues within the active site of all MetAPs. To evaluate their importance in catalysis His79 and His178 were replaced with alanine. Both substitutions, but especially that of His79, reduce activity. The structure of the His79Ala apoenzyme and the comparison of its electronic absorption spectra with other variants suggest that the loss in activity is not due to a conformational change or a defective metal center. Two different reaction mechanisms are proposed and are compared to those of related enzymes. These results also suggest that inhibitors analogous to that reported here may be useful in preventing angiogenesis in cancer and in the treatment of microbial and fungal infections.

Fig. 5. Hypothetical model of ovalicin bound covalently to His-79 in the active site of E. coli MetAP. (A) An energy-minimized model of the complex was made assuming sp3 atoms at C2 and C3 after formation of the covalent bond between C2 and N 2 of His-79. The His-79-ovalicin complex was rotated about the His-79 C^ -C^ and C^ -C^ bonds until the C6 keto oxygen atom of ovalicin was within approximately 2.5 Å of each Co(II) ion. As illustrated via a space filling model (B), access to the metal center is almost completely occluded. Color scheme: protein carbon atoms (gray), ovalicin carbon atoms (green), nitrogen (blue), oxygen (red), cobalt (cyan), and sulfur (yellow). Energy minimizations were performed by using the DISCOVER program in the InsightII package (Biosym Technologies, San Diego/Molecular Simulations, Waltham, MA). The figure was made by using MIDASPLUS (University of California, San Francisco Computer Graphics Laboratory).
