L-aspartate:oxygen oxidoreductase
A flavoprotein (FAD). L-Aspartate oxidase catalyses the first step in the de novo biosynthesis of NAD+ in some bacteria. O2 can be replaced by fumarate as electron acceptor, yielding succinate [5]. The ability of the enzyme to use both O2 and fumarate in cofactor reoxidation enables it to function under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions [5]. Iminosuccinate can either be hydrolysed to form oxaloacetate and NH3 or can be used by EC 2.5.1.72, quinolinate synthase, in the production of quinolinate. The enzyme is a member of the succinate dehydrogenase/fumarate-reductase family of enzymes [5].
oxidation is accelerated in the presence of 0.5 mM fumarate, fumarate appears to be the preferred electron acceptor since its presence inhibits oxygen reduction by 90%
can use either molecular oxygen or fumarate to reoxidize the reduced enzyme. The chemistry is similar to that of typical amino acid oxidases in which the transfer of the hydride from C2 of L-aspartate to FAD is rate-limiting and occurs in a concerted manner with respect to deprotonation of the alpha-amine
the enzyme oxidizes L-aspartate both under aerobic and anaerobic conditions using oxygen as well as fumarate as electron acceptor. No activity with 3-hydroxy-threo-L-aspartate
the enzyme oxidizes L-aspartate both under aerobic and anaerobic conditions using oxygen as well as fumarate as electron acceptor. Catalytic role of the active site residue E121, substrate specificity of wild-type and mutant enzymes, molecular docking studies, role of R290, overview. E121 interacts favourably with the charged amino group of the substrate and different ligands might assume different orientations in the active site of the enzyme, binding modes for L-aspartate, overview
the enzyme oxidizes L-aspartate both under aerobic and anaerobic conditions using oxygen as well as fumarate as electron acceptor. No activity with 3-hydroxy-threo-L-aspartate
E121 belongs to a polypeptide stretch, residues 119-127, involved in the interdomain contact between the FAD and the capping domains and is hydrogen bound to G51, itself belonging to a loop of residues 49-57 playing a key role in coenzyme binding
NadB has structurally evolved from succinate dehydrogenase/fumarate reductase-type enzymes to gain the new functionality of oxidizing amino acids while retaining the ability to reduce fumarate
LASPO is a flavoenzyme catalyzing the first step in the de novo biosynthesis of NAD+. The enzyme oxidizes L-aspartate both under aerobic and anaerobic conditions using oxygen as well as fumarate as electron acceptor
LASPO displays strong primary and tertiary structure similarity with the flavin containing subunit of the proteins belonging to the succinate dehydrogenase/fumarate reductase family. The similarity extends to the active site residues, with LASPO differing from the other enzymes of the family only for the presence of a conserved glutamate 121, which is substituted by apolar amino acids in the other enzymes
site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows reduced activity compared to the wild-type enzyme, catalytically inactive against either 3-OH-erythro- or 3-OH-threo-L-aspartate, but is active with N-acetyl- and N-formyl-L-aspartate
site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows highly reduced activity compared to the wild-type enzyme, catalytically inactive against either 3-OH-erythro- or 3-OH-threo-L-aspartate
site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows highly reduced activity compared to the wild-type enzyme, catalytically inactive against either 3-OH-erythro- or 3-OH-threo-L-aspartate
