Ligand-Induced Conformational and Dynamical Changes in a GT-B Glycosyltransferase: Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Heptosyltransferase I Complexes

Abstract: Understanding the dynamical motions and ligand recognition motifs of heptosyltransferase I (HepI) can be critical to discerning the behavior of other glycosyltransferase (GT) enzymes. Prior studies in our lab have demonstrated that GTs in the GT-B structural class, which are characterized by their connection of two Rossman-like domains by a linker region, have conserved structural fold and dynamical motions, despite low sequence homology, therefore making discoveries found in HepI transferable to other GT-B en… Show more

“…Residues 58-64 are analogous to residues 58-70 in HepI which have been previously observed to adopt a more alpha-helical orientation upon ligand binding and has been observed via CD and through crystal structures (Apo: PDB 2GT1, Psuedoternary: PDB 6DFE). 21, 23, 25, 42 In our HepII simulations, residues 58-64 become less dynamic upon presence of the acceptor in both poses (Figure 5B, S11B) which could promote formation of an ordered secondary structure. Additionally, the disordered 60s loop adds a turn to the downstream helix and the helix gains a turn on either side (Figure S15).…”

“…25,65 To elucidate the residues potentially involved in HepII substrate interactions, we performed a sequence alignment of HepI with HepII (HepI PDB: 6DFE and HepII PDB:IPSW; Figure S1), in addition to generating representative multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) of HepI (Figure S2) and HepII (Figure 4) homologues. Previously identified residues in HepI that are involved in substrate binding are indicated 21,25,42 and were used as a guide to identification of residues in a HepII that might be important for catalysis, in addition to examining residues that are highly conserved in a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of HepII. Based upon these analyses of HepII, we hypothesized FDHLA binding residues to be Pro8, Trp10, His61, Ser90, Lys92, Gly192, Lys195, and Asp269 (Table 1A, S1).…”
