Investigating a Catalytic Mechanism of Hyperthermophilic L-Threonine Dehydrogenase from Pyrococcus horikoshii

Abstract: Based on our first structural data of L-threonine dehydrogenase (TDH) of Pyrococcus horikoshii (PhTDH), we examined its catalytic mechanism. The structural analysis indicated that a catalytic zinc atom at the active centre of PhTDH is coordinated by four residues (Cys42, His67, Glu68 and Glu152) with low affinity. These residues are highly conserved in alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) and TDHs. Several PhTDH mutants were prepared with respect to Glu152 and other residues, relating to the proton relay system that … Show more

“…CDA purified from cells is predominantly occupied by zinc with a minor amount of iron, and mechanistic studies have usually employed the zinc-loaded enzyme; however, kinetic efficiency is somewhat higher with iron (24,25). TDH exhibits good activity when constituted with zinc and is tentatively regarded as using zinc as an active-site metal in vivo; it is less active with manganese, and activity with iron has not been reported (26,27).…”
