additional information | generation of a Y118 deletion mutant, DELTAY118, and of point mutants Y118S and Y118F. The Tyr insertional residue of SsuE makes specific contacts across the dimer interface that may assist in the altered mechanistic properties of this enzyme. The Y118F SsuE variant maintains the Pi-Pi stacking interactions at the tetramer interface and has kinetic parameters similar to those of wild-type SsuE. Substitution of the Pi-helical residue (Tyr118) to Ala or Ser transforms the enzymes into flavin-bound SsuE variants that can no longer support flavin reductase and desulfonation activities. These variants exist as dimers and can form protein-protein interactions with SsuD even though flavin transfer is not sustained. The DELTAY118 SsuE variant is flavin-free as purified and does not undergo the tetramer to dimer oligomeric shift with the addition of flavin. The absence of desulfonation activity can be attributed to the inability of DELTAY118 SsuE to promote flavin transfer and undergo the requisite oligomeric changes to support desulfonation. Results from these studies provide insights into the role of the SsuE Pi-helix in promoting flavin transfer and oligomeric changes that support protein-protein interactions with SsuD. A 10fold lower binding affinity for flavin binding is observed with the DELTAY118 SsuE deletion variant than with wild-type SsuE. Although the DELTAY118 SsuE variant is unable to support NADPH oxidase activity, the 10fold decrease in flavin affinity would not account for the absence of activity because the flavin should still bind at the saturating concentrations of FMN used in the flavin reductase assays.

evolution | the SsuE FMN reductase of the alkanesulfonate monooxygenase system belongs to the NAD(P)H:FMN reductase family based on a conserved flavodoxin fold. The subgroup of enzymes in the NAD(P)H:FMN reductase family is comprised of flavin reductases from two-component monooxygenase systems. The diverging structural feature in these FMN reductases is a Pi-helix centrally located at the tetramer interface that is generated by the insertion of an amino acid in a conserved alpha4 helix | Escherichia coli |
malfunction | the Tyr insertional residue of SsuE makes specific contacts across the dimer interface that may assist in the altered mechanistic properties of this enzyme. The Y118F SsuE variant maintains the Pi-Pi stacking interactions at the tetramer interface and has kinetic parameters similar to those of wild-type SsuE. Substitution of the Pi-helical residue (Tyr118) to Ala or Ser transforms the enzymes into flavin-bound SsuE variants that can no longer support flavin reductase and desulfonation activities. These variants exist as dimers and can form protein-protein interactions with SsuD even though flavin transfer is not sustained. The DELRAY118 SsuE variant is flavin-free as purified and does not undergo the tetramer to dimer oligomeric shift with the addition of flavin. The absence of desulfonation activity can be attributed to the inability of DELTAY118 SsuE to promote flavin transfer and undergo the requisite oligomeric changes to support desulfonation. Results from these studies provide insights into the role of the SsuE Pi-helix in promoting flavin transfer and oligomeric changes that support protein-protein interactions with SsuD | Escherichia coli |
