Enzymes often use nucleophilic serine, threonine, and cysteine residues to achieve the same type of reaction; the underlying reasons for this are not understood. While bacterial d,d ‐transpeptidases (penicillin‐binding proteins) employ a nucleophilic serine, l,d ‐transpeptidases use a nucleophilic cysteine. The covalent complexes formed by l,d ‐transpeptidases with some β‐lactam antibiotics undergo non‐hydrolytic fragmentation. This is not usually observed for penicillin‐binding proteins, or for the related serine β‐lactamases. Replacement of the nucleophilic serine of serine β‐lactamases with cysteine yields enzymes which fragment β‐lactams via a similar mechanism as the l,d ‐transpeptidases, implying the different reaction outcomes are principally due to the formation of thioester versus ester intermediates. The results highlight fundamental differences in the reactivity of nucleophilic serine and cysteine enzymes, and imply new possibilities for the inhibition of nucleophilic enzymes. 相似文献

The position, bonding and dynamics of hydrogen atoms in the catalytic centers of proteins are essential for catalysis. The role of short hydrogen bonds in catalysis has remained highly debated and led to establishment of several distinctive geometrical arrangements of hydrogen atoms vis‐à‐vis the heavier donor and acceptor counterparts, that is, low‐barrier, single‐well or short canonical hydrogen bonds. Here we demonstrate how the position of a hydrogen atom in the catalytic triad of an aminoglycoside inactivating enzyme leads to a thirty‐fold increase in catalytic turnover. A low‐barrier hydrogen bond is present in the enzyme active site for the substrates that are turned over the best, whereas a canonical hydrogen bond is found with the least preferred substrate. This is the first comparison of these hydrogen bonds involving an identical catalytic network, while directly demonstrating how active site electrostatics adapt to the electronic nature of substrates to tune catalysis. 相似文献
