Abstract:
:The first positive evidence for the utilization of a direct C-6' ' oxidation/reduction mechanism by ADP-l-glycero-d-manno-heptose 6-epimerase is reported here. The epimerase (HldD or AGME, formerly RfaD) operates in the biosynthetic pathway of l-glycero-d-manno-heptose, which is a conserved sugar in the core region of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Gram-negative bacteria. The stereochemical inversion catalyzed by the epimerase is interesting as it occurs at an "unactivated" stereocenter that lacks an acidic C-H bond, and therefore, a direct deprotonation/reprotonation mechanism cannot be employed. Instead, the epimerase employs a transient oxidation strategy involving a tightly bound NADP(+) cofactor. A recent study ruled out mechanisms involving transient oxidation at C-4' ' and C-7' ' and supported a mechanism that involves an initial oxidation directly at the C-6' ' position to generate a 6' '-keto intermediate (Read, J. A., Ahmed, R. A., Morrison, J. P., Coleman, W. G., Jr., Tanner, M. E. (2004) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 126, 8878-8879). A subsequent nonstereospecific reduction of the ketone intermediate can generate either epimer of the ADP-heptose. In this work, an intermediate analogue containing an aldehyde functionality at C-6' ', ADP-beta-d-manno-hexodialdose, is prepared in order to probe the ability of the enzyme to catalyze redox chemistry at this position. It is found that incubation of the aldehyde with a catalytic amount of the epimerase leads to a dismutation process in which one-half of the material is oxidized to ADP-beta-d-mannuronic acid and the other half is reduced to ADP-beta-d-mannose. Transient reduction of the enzyme-bound NADP(+) was monitored by UV spectroscopy and implicates the cofactor's involvement during catalysis.
