Crystal structure of BioH from Klebsiella pneumonia
Structural highlights
Function[A0A0S4G6Z4_KLEPN] The physiological role of BioH is to remove the methyl group introduced by BioC when the pimeloyl moiety is complete. It allows to synthesize pimeloyl-ACP via the fatty acid synthetic pathway through the hydrolysis of the ester bonds of pimeloyl-ACP esters.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01260][SAAS:SAAS00186858] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe BioH carboxylesterase which is a typical alpha/beta-hydrolase enzyme involved in biotin synthetic pathway in most bacteria. BioH acts as a gatekeeper and blocks the further elongation of its substrate. In the pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae, BioH plays a critical role in the biosynthesis of biotin. To better understand the molecular function of BioH, we determined the crystal structure of BioH from K. pneumoniae at 2.26A resolution using X-ray crystallography. The structure of KpBioH consists of an alpha-beta-alpha sandwich domain and a cap domain. B-factor analysis revealed that the alpha-beta-alpha sandwich domain is a rigid structure, while the loops in the cap domain shows the structural flexibility. The active site of KpBioH contains the catalytic triad (Ser82-Asp207-His235) on the interface of the alpha-beta-alpha sandwich domain, which is surrounded by the cap domain. Size exclusion chromatography shows that KpBioH prefers the monomeric state in solution, whereas two-fold symmetric dimeric formation of KpBioH was observed in the asymmetric unit, the conserved Cys31-based disulfide bonds can maintain the irreversible dimeric formation of KpBioH. Our study provides important structural insight for understanding the molecular mechanisms of KpBioH and its homologous proteins.
