A 7-dimethylallyl tryptophan synthase from a fungal Neosartorya sp.: Biochemical characterization and structural insight into the regioselective prenylation
摘要:
A putative 7-dimethylallyl tryptophan synthase (DMATS) gene from a fungal Neosartorya sp. was cloned and overexpressed as a soluble His(6)-fusion protein in Escherichia coli. The enzyme was found to catalyze the prenylation of L-tryptophan at the C7 position of the indole moiety in the presence of dimethylallyl diphosphate; thus, it functions as a 7-DMATS. In this study, we describe the biochemical characterization of 7-DMATS from Neosartorya sp., referred to as 7-DMATS(Neo), and the structural basis of the regioselective prenylation of L-tryptophan at the C7 position by comparison of the three-dimensional structural models of 7-DMATS(Neo) with FgaPT2 (4-DMATS) from Aspergillus fumigatus.

6‐DMATSSa and 6‐DMATSSv from Streptomyces strains, in the presence of DMAPP and GPP. C6‐prenylated indole derivatives and dihydroxynaphthalenes with prenylation at the unsubstituted ring were identified as enzyme products of 6‐DMATSSa.

secondary metabolites including indole derivatives usually demonstrate improved biological and pharmacological activities, which make them promising candidates for drug discovery and development. The transfer reactions of a prenyl moiety from a prenyl donor, e.g. dimethylallyldiphosphate (DMAPP), to an acceptor is catalysed by prenyltransferases. One special group of such enzymes uses DMAPP and tryptophan
