We have obtained crystals of Pseudomonas putida muconate lactonizing enzyme. They diffract to better than 2.4 A resolution and have two monomers in the asymmetric unit, related by a non-crystallographic 2-fold axis. The cell dimensions are 139.3 A X 139.3 A X 84.1 A, and the space group is I4. The electron density map at 6.5 A resolution shows that the enzyme is an octamer with D4 symmetry.

The lactonization process of Cl-cis,cis-muconate catalyzed by anti-muconate lactonizing enzyme (anti-MLE) was studied theoretically with the aid of a combined quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) approach. Two elementary processes steps involved in the lactanization process were investigated. The calculated energy barriers agree well with the experimental values.

Background: Enzymes of the enolase superfamily (ENS) are mechanistically diverse, yet share a common partial reaction (abstraction of the α-proton from a carboxylate substrate). While the catalytic machinery responsible for the deprotonation reaction has been conserved, divergent evolution has led to numerous ENS members that catalyze different overall reactions. This rich functional diversity has made the ENS an excellent model system for developing the approaches necessary to validate enzyme function.

Itaconic acid is an important biomass-derived chemical building block but has also recently been identified as a metabolite produced in mammals, which has antimicrobial activity. The biosynthetic pathway of itaconic acid has been elucidated in the ascomycetous fungus Aspergillus terreus and in human macrophages. In both organisms itaconic acid is generated by decarboxylation of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediate cis-aconitate.

The genome of Labrenzia aggregata IAM 12614 encodes an uncharacterized member of the muconate lactonizing enzyme (MLE) subgroup of the enolase superfamily (UniProt ID A0NXQ8 ). The gene encoding A0NXQ8 is located between genes that encode members of the proline racemase superfamily, 4R-hydroxyproline 2-epimerase (UniProt ID A0NXQ7 ; 4HypE) and trans-3-hydroxy-l-proline dehydratase (UniProt ID A0NXQ9 ; t3LHypD). A0NXQ8 was screened with a library of proline analogues; two reactions were observed with cis-3-hydroxy-l-proline (c3LHyp), competing 2-epimerization to trans-3-hydroxy-d-proline (1,1-proton transfer) and dehydration to Δ(1)-pyrroline-2-carboxylate (β-elimination; c3LHyp dehydratase), with eventual total dehydration.
