Glycyl radical enzymes (GREs) represent a diverse superfamily of enzymes that utilize a radical mechanism to catalyze difficult, but often essential, chemical reactions. In this work we present the first biochemical and structural data for a GRE-type diol dehydratase from the organism Roseburia inulinivorans (RiDD). Despite high sequence (48% identity) and structural similarity to the GRE-type glycerol dehydratase from Clostridium butyricum, we demonstrate that the RiDD is in fact a diol dehydratase. In addition, the RiDD will utilize both (S)-1,2-propanediol and (R)-1,2-propanediol as a substrate, with an observed preference for the S enantiomer. Based on the new structural information we developed and successfully tested a hypothesis that explains the functional differences we observe.
甘氨酰自由基酶(GREs)是一类多样的酶超家族,它们利用自由基机制催化困难但往往至关重要的化学反应。在这项工作中,我们展示了来自食菊罗氏菌(RiDD)的GRE型二醇脱水酶的首个生化和结构数据。尽管与丁酸梭菌的GRE型甘油脱水酶具有高度的序列同一性(48%)和结构相似性,但我们证明RiDD实际上是一种二醇脱水酶。此外,RiDD将同时利用(S)-1,2-丙二醇和(R)-1,2-丙二醇作为底物,观察到其对S型对映体有偏好。基于新的结构信息,我们提出并成功验证了一个假设,该假设解释了我们观察到的功能差异。
