RESUMO

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), the major form of the plant hormone auxin, regulates almost every aspect of plant growth and development. Therefore, auxin homeostasis is an essential process in plants. Different metabolic routes are involved in auxin homeostasis, but the catabolic pathway has remained elusive until recent studies identified DIOXYGENASE FOR AUXIN OXIDATION (DAO) from rice and Arabidopsis thaliana. DAO, a member of the 2-oxoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent oxygenase (2ODO) family, constitutes a major enzyme for IAA catabolism. This enzyme catalyzes, with the cosubstrate 2-oxoglutarate, the conversion of IAA into 2-oxoindole-3-acetic acid, a functionally inactive oxidative product of IAA. Here, we report a crystal structure of the unliganded DAO1 from A. thaliana (AtDAO1) and its complex with 2-oxoglutarate. AtDAO1 is structurally homologous with members of the 2ODO family but exhibits unique features in the prime substrate IAA binding site. We provide structural analyses of a putative binding site for IAA, supporting possible structural determinants for the substrate specificity of AtDAO1 toward IAA.

RESUMO

In cyanobacteria, metabolic pathways that use the nitrogen-rich amino acid arginine play a pivotal role in nitrogen storage and mobilization. The N-terminal domains of two recently identified bacterial enzymes: ArgZ from Synechocystis and AgrE from Anabaena, have been found to contain an arginine dihydrolase. This enzyme provides catabolic activity that converts arginine to ornithine, resulting in concomitant release of CO2 and ammonia. In Synechocystis, the ArgZ-mediated ornithine-ammonia cycle plays a central role in nitrogen storage and remobilization. The C-terminal domain of AgrE contains an ornithine cyclodeaminase responsible for the formation of proline from ornithine and ammonia production, indicating that AgrE is a bifunctional enzyme catalyzing two sequential reactions in arginine catabolism. Here, the crystal structures of AgrE in three different ligation states revealed that it has a tetrameric conformation, possesses a binding site for the arginine dihydrolase substrate l-arginine and product l-ornithine, and contains a binding site for the coenzyme NAD(H) required for ornithine cyclodeaminase activity. Structure-function analyses indicated that the structure and catalytic mechanism of arginine dihydrolase in AgrE are highly homologous with those of a known bacterial arginine hydrolase. We found that in addition to other active-site residues, Asn-71 is essential for AgrE's dihydrolase activity. Further analysis suggested the presence of a passage for substrate channeling between the two distinct AgrE active sites, which are situated ∼45 Šapart. These results provide structural and functional insights into the bifunctional arginine dihydrolase-ornithine cyclodeaminase enzyme AgrE required for arginine catabolism in Anabaena.

RESUMO

Nitrogen remobilization is a key issue in plants. Recent studies in Arabidopsis thaliana have revealed that nucleoside catabolism supplies xanthine, a nitrogen-rich compound, to the purine ring catabolic pathway, which liberates ammonia from xanthine for reassimilation into amino acids. Similarly, pyrimidine nuclosides are degraded and the pyrimidine bases are fully catabolized. During nucleoside hydrolysis, ribose is released, and ATP-dependent ribokinase (RBSK) phosphorylates ribose to ribose-5'-phosphate to allow its entry into central metabolism recycling the sugar carbons from nucleosides. In this study, we report the crystal structure of RBSK from Arapidopsis thaliana (AtRBSK) in three different ligation states: an unliganded state, a ternary complex with ribose and ATP, and a binary complex with ATP in the presence of Mg2+. In the monomeric conformation, AtRBSK is highly homologous to bacterial RBSKs, including the binding sites for a monovalent cation, ribose, and ATP. Its dimeric conformation, however, does not exhibit the noticeable ligand-induced changes that were observed in bacterial orthologs. Only in the presence of Mg2+, ATP in the binary complex adopts a catalytically competent conformation, providing a mode of action for Mg2+ in AtRBSK activity. The structural data combined with activity analyses of mutants allowed assignment of functional roles for the active site residues. Overall, this study provides the first structural characterization of plant RBSK, and experimentally validates a previous hypothetical model concerning the general reaction mechanism of RBSK.
