Structural insight into a novel indole prenyltransferase in hapalindole-type alkaloid biosynthesis.

Abstract:

:FamD1 is a novel CloQ/NphB-family indole prenyltransferase which involves in hapalindole-type alkaloid biosynthesis. Here the native FamD1 structure and three protein-ligand complexes are analyzed to investigate the molecular basis of substrate binding and catalysis. FamD1 adopts a typical ABBA architecture of aromatic prenyltransferase, in which the substrate-binding chamber is found in the central β-barrel. The indole-containing acceptor substrate is bound adjacent to the prenyl donor. Based on the complex structures, a catalytic mechanism of FamD1 is proposed. Functional implications on the sister enzyme FamD2 are also discussed.
