Abstract
Herein, we present a novel esterase enzyme, Ade1, isolated from a metagenomic library of Amazonian dark earths soils, demonstrating its broad substrate promiscuity by hydrolyzing ester bonds linked to aliphatic groups. The three-dimensional structure of the enzyme was solved in the presence and absence of substrate (tributyrin), revealing its classification within the α/β-hydrolase superfamily. Despite being a monomeric enzyme, enzymatic assays reveal a cooperative behavior with a sigmoidal profile (initial velocities vs substrate concentrations). Our investigation brings to light the allokairy/hysteresis behavior of Ade1, as evidenced by a transient burst profile during the hydrolysis of substrates such as p-nitrophenyl butyrate and p-nitrophenyl octanoate. Crystal structures of Ade1, coupled with molecular dynamics simulations, unveil the existence of multiple conformational structures within a single molecular state (E̅1). Notably, substrate binding induces a loop closure that traps the substrate in the catalytic site. Upon product release, the cap domain opens simultaneously with structural changes, transitioning the enzyme to a new molecular state (E̅2). This study advances our understanding of hysteresis/allokairy mechanisms, a temporal regulation that appears more pervasive than previously acknowledged and extends its presence to metabolic enzymes. These findings also hold potential implications for addressing human diseases associated with metabolic dysregulation.
期刊介绍:
Biochemistry provides an international forum for publishing exceptional, rigorous, high-impact research across all of biological chemistry. This broad scope includes studies on the chemical, physical, mechanistic, and/or structural basis of biological or cell function, and encompasses the fields of chemical biology, synthetic biology, disease biology, cell biology, nucleic acid biology, neuroscience, structural biology, and biophysics. In addition to traditional Research Articles, Biochemistry also publishes Communications, Viewpoints, and Perspectives, as well as From the Bench articles that report new methods of particular interest to the biological chemistry community.
