characterization experiments revealed the formations of 3-(-2'-aminocyclopropyl)alanine ((3-Acp)Ala) and 3-(-2'-nitrocyclopropyl)alanine ((3-Ncp)Ala) are originated via two homologous proteins, BelK and HrmI, which regioselectively catalyze the Nε-oxygenation of l-lysine. The two enzymes belong to the emerging heme-oxygenase-like diiron oxidase and oxygenase (HDO) superfamily and the catalytic center of BelK is validated by homology modeling and site-directed mutations. Based on the characterization, the biosynthetic pathways of (3-Acp)Ala and (3-Ncp)Ala are proposed.
表征实验表明,3-(-2'-氨基环丙基)丙氨酸((3-Acp)Ala)和3-(-2'-硝基环丙基)丙氨酸((3-Ncp)Ala)的形成是通过两种同源蛋白BelK和HrmI实现的,这两种蛋白区域选择性地催化L-赖氨酸的Nε-氧化。这两种酶属于新兴的类血红素加氧酶双铁氧化酶和加氧酶(HDO)超家族,BelK的催化中心通过同源建模和定点突变得到验证。基于表征结果,提出了(3-Acp)Ala和(3-Ncp)Ala的生物合成途径。
