Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) is a non-heme iron(II) oxidase, which catalyses the biosynthesis of isopenicillin N (IPN) from the tripeptide δ-L-α-aminoadipoyl-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (LLD-ACV) in a remarkable oxidative bicyclisation reaction. The natural substrate for IPNS is the LLD-configured tripeptide. LLL-ACV is not turned over by the enzyme, but inhibits turnover of the LLD-tripeptide. The mechanism by which this inhibition takes place is not fully understood. Recent studies have employed a range of LLD-configured depsipeptide substrate analogues in crystallographic studies to probe events preceding β-lactam closure in the IPNS reaction cycle. Herein, we report the first crystal structure of IPNS in complex with an LLL-configured depsipeptide analogue, δ-L-α-aminoadipoyl-L-cysteine (1-(R)-carboxy-2-thiomethyl)ethyl ester (LLL-ACOmC). This report describes the crystal structure of the IPNS:Fe(II):LLL-ACOmC complex to 2.0 Å resolution, and discusses attempts to oxygenate this complex at high pressure in order to probe the mechanism by which LLL-configured substrates inhibit IPNS catalysis.
异青霉素 N 合酶 (IPNS) 是一种非血红素铁 (II) 氧化酶,可催化三肽 δ-L-α-氨基己二酰-L-半胱氨酰-D-缬氨酸 (LLD-ACV) 生物合成异青霉素 N (IPN)发生显着的氧化双环化反应。 IPNS 的天然底物是 LLD 配置的三肽。 LLL-ACV 不会被酶转化,但会抑制 LLD-三肽的转化。这种抑制发生的机制尚不完全清楚。最近的研究在晶体学研究中采用了一系列 LLD 配置的缩酚肽底物类似物来探测 IPNS 反应循环中 β-内酰胺闭合之前的事件。在此,我们报道了IPNS与LLL配置的缩酚肽类似物δ-L-α-氨基己二酰-L-半胱氨酸(1-(R)-羧基-2-硫甲基)乙酯(LLL-ACOmC)复合物的第一个晶体结构)。该报告以 2.0 Å 分辨率描述了 IPNS:Fe(II):LLL-ACOmC 复合物的晶体结构,并讨论了在高压下对该复合物进行氧化的尝试,以探讨 LLL 配置底物抑制 IPNS 催化的机制。
