Abstract:
:The β-hydroxylation of l-histidine is the first step in the biosynthesis of the imidazolone base of the antifungal drug nikkomycin. The cytochrome P450 (NikQ) hydroxylates the amino acid while it is appended via a phosphopantetheine linker to the non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) NikP1. The latter enzyme is comprised of an MbtH and single adenylation and thiolation domains, a minimal composition that allows for detailed binding and kinetics studies using an intact and homogeneous NRPS substrate. Electron paramagnetic resonance studies confirm that a stable complex is formed with NikQ and NikP1 when the amino acid is tethered. Size exclusion chromatography is used to further refine the principal components that are required for this interaction. NikQ binds NikP1 in the fully charged state, but binding also occurs when NikP1 is lacking both the phosphopantetheine arm and appended amino acid. This demonstrates that the interaction is mainly guided by presentation of the thiolation domain interface, rather than the attached amino acid. Electrochemistry and transient kinetics have been used to probe the influence of l-His-NikP1 binding on catalysis by NikQ. Unlike many P450s, the binding of substrate fails to induce significant changes on the redox potential and autoxidation properties of NikQ and slows down the binding of dioxygen to the ferrous enzyme to initiate catalysis. Collectively, these studies demonstrate a complex interplay between the NRPS maturation process and the recruitment and regulation of an auxiliary tailoring enzyme required for natural product biosynthesis.
