Secoisolariciresinol dehydrogenase (SDH) catalyzes the NAD+ dependent enantiospecific conversion of secoisolariciresinol into matairesinol. In Podophyllum species, (−)-matairesinol is metabolized into the antiviral compound, podophyllotoxin, which can be semi-synthetically converted into the anticancer agents, etoposide, teniposide and Etopophos®. Matairesinol is also a precursor of the cancer-preventative “mammalian” lignan, enterolactone, formed in the gut following ingestion of, for example, various high fiber dietary foods, as well as being an intermediate to numerous defense compounds in vascular plants. This study investigated the mode of enantiospecific Podophyllum SDH catalysis, the order of binding, and the stereospecificity of hydride abstraction/transfer from secoisolariciresinol to NAD+. SDH contains a highly conserved catalytic triad (Ser153, Tyr167 and Lys171), whose activity was abolished with site-directed mutagenesis of Tyr167Ala and Lys171Ala, whereas mutagenesis of Ser153Ala only resulted in a much reduced catalytic activity. Isothermal titration calorimetry measurements indicated that NAD+ binds first followed by the substrate, (−)-secoisolariciresinol. Additionally, for hydride transfer, the incoming hydride abstracted from the substrate takes up the pro-S position in the NADH formed. Taken together, a catalytic mechanism for the overall enantiospecific conversion of (−)-secoisolariciresinol into (−)-matairesinol is proposed.
塞克异橄榄醇脱氢酶(SDH)催化依赖于NAD+的enantiospecific反应,将塞克异橄榄醇转化为马台醇。在马兜铃属植物中,(−)-马台醇被代谢为抗病毒化合物——马兜铃毒素,该化合物可以半合成转化为抗癌药物异尾酰胺、替尼酰胺和Etopophos®。马台醇还是癌症预防性“哺乳动物”木酚类化合物——肠内乳酸的前体,后者在摄入例如各种高纤维饮食食品后在肠道中形成。此外,马台醇还是维管植物中众多防御化合物的中间产物。本研究调查了马兜铃属SDH催化的enantiospecific模式、结合顺序及从塞克异橄榄醇到NAD+的氢化物抽取/转移的立体特异性。SDH包含一个高度保守的催化三联体(Ser153、Tyr167和Lys171),其中Tyr167Ala和Lys171Ala的定点突变会使活性丧失,而Ser153Ala的突变仅导致催化活性显著降低。等温滴定量热法测量表明,NAD+首次结合,然后是底物(−)-塞克异橄榄醇。此外,对于氢化物转移,底物中引入的氢化物在形成的NADH中占据pro-S位。综合来看,提出了(−)-塞克异橄榄醇向(−)-马台醇的整体enantiospecific转化的催化机制。
