Abstract
Sequence alignment shows that residue Arg 284 (according to the numbering of the residues in formate dehydrogenase, FDH, from the methylotrophic bacterium Pseudomonas sp. 101) is conserved in NAD-dependent FDHs and D-specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases. Mutation of Arg 284 to glutamine and alanine results in a change of the catalytic, thermodynamic and spectral properties of FDH. In comparison to wild-type, the affinity of the mutants for the substrate (K(formate)m) or the transition state analogue (K(azide)i) decreases and correlates with the ability of the side chain of residue 284 to form H-bonds. In contrast, the affinity for the coenzyme (K(NAD)d or K(NAD)m) is either not affected or increases and correlates inversely with the partial positive charge of the side chain. The temperature dependence of circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the wild-type FDH and its Ala mutant has been studied over the 5-90 degrees C temperature range. Both proteins reveal regions of enhanced conformational mobility at the predenaturing temperatures (40-55 degrees C) associated with a change of enzyme kinetic parameters and a co-operative transition around 55-70 degrees C which is followed by the loss of enzyme activity. CD spectra of the wild-type and mutant proteins were deconvoluted and contributions from various types of secondary structure estimated. It is shown that the co-operative transition at 55-70 degrees C in the FDH protein globule is triggered by a loss of alpha-helical secondary structure. The results confirm the conclusion, from the crystal structures, that Arg 284 is directly involved in substrate binding. In addition this residue seems to exert a major structural role by supporting the catalytic conformation of the enzyme active centre.

Abstract
NAD+-dependent formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from Candida boidinii was cloned and expressed to a high level in Escherichia coli (20% of soluble E. coli protein). Molecular modelling studies were used to create a three-dimensional model of C. boidinii FDH, based on a known structure of the Pseudomonas sp. 101 enzyme. This model was used for investigating the catalytic mechanism by site-directed mutagenesis. Eleven forms of C. boidinii FDH were characterized by steady-state kinetic analysis: the wild type as well as 10 mutants involving single (Phe-69-Ala, Asn-119-His, Ile-175-Ala, Gln-197-Leu, Arg-258-Ala, Gln-287-Glu and His-311-Gln) and double amino acid substitutions (Asn-119-His/His-311-Gln, Gln-287-Glu/His-311-Gln and Gln-287-Glu/Pro-288-Thr). The kinetic results of the mutant enzymes provide the first experimental support that hydrophobic patches, formed by Phe-69 and Ile-175, destabilize substrates and stabilize products. Also, the key role of Arg-258 in stabilization of the negative charge on the migrating hydride was established. Asn-119, besides being an anchor group for formate, also may comprise one of the hinge regions around which the two domains shift on binding of NAD+. The more unexpected results, obtained for the His-311-Gln and Gln-287-Glu/His-311-Gln mutants, combined with molecular modelling, suggest that steric as well as electrostatic properties of His-311 are important for enzyme function. An important structural role has also been attributed to cis-Pro-288. This residue may provide the key residues Gln-287 and His-311 with the proper orientation for productive binding of formate.

Abstract
High pressure causes biphasic effects on the oxidation of formate by yeast formate dehydrogenase as expressed on the kinetic parameter V/K, which measures substrate capture. Moderate pressure increases capture by accelerating hydride transfer. The transition state for hydride transfer has a smaller volume than the free formate plus the capturing form of enzyme, with DeltaV(double dagger) = -9.7 +/- 1.0 mL/mol. Pressures above 1.5 kbar decrease capture, reminiscent of effects on the conformational change associated with the binding of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) to yeast alcohol dehydrogenase [Northrop, D. B., and Y. K. Cho (2000) Biochemistry 39, 2406-2412]. The collision complex, E-NAD(+), has a smaller volume than the more tightly bound reactant-state complex, E-NAD(+), with DeltaV = +83.4 +/- 5.2 mL/mol. A comparison of the effects of pressure on the oxidation of normal and deuteroformate shows that the entire isotope effect on hydride transfer, 2.73 +/- 0.20, arises solely from transition-state phenomena, as was also observed previously with yeast alcohol dehydrogense. In contrast, normal primary isotope effects arise solely from different zero-point energies in reactant states, and those that express hydrogen tunneling arise from a mixture of both reactant-state and transition-state phenomena. Moreover, pressure increases the primary intrinsic deuterium isotope effect, the opposite of what was observed with yeast alcohol dehydrogense. The lack of a decrease in the isotope effect is also contrary to empirical precedents from chemical reactions suspected of tunneling and to theoretical constructs of vibrationally enhanced tunneling in enzymatic reactions. Hence, this new experimental design penetrates transition states of enzymatic catalysis as never before, reveals the presence of phenomena foreign to chemical kinetics, and calls for explanations of how enzymes work beyond the tenants of physical organic chemistry.

Abstract
The 2',3'-dialdehyde derivative of ADP (oADP) has been shown to be an affinity label for the NAD+ binding site of recombinant Candida boidinii formate dehydrogenase (FDH). Inactivation of FDH by oADP at pH 7.6 followed biphasic pseudo first-order saturation kinetics. The rate of inactivation exhibited a nonlinear dependence on the concentration of oADP, which can be described by reversible binding of reagent to the enzyme (Kd = 0.46 mM for the fast phase, 0.45 mM for the slow phase) prior to the irreversible reaction, with maximum rate constants of 0.012 and 0.007 min-1 for the fast and slow phases, respectively. Inactivation of formate dehydrogenase by oADP resulted in the formation of an enzyme-oADP product, a process that was reversed after dialysis or after treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol (> 90% reactivation). The reactivation of the enzyme by 2-mercaptoethanol was prevented if the enzyme-oADP complex was previously reduced by NaBH4, suggesting that the reaction product was a stable Schiff's base. Protection from inactivation was afforded by nucleotides (NAD+, NADH and ADP) demonstrating the specificity of the reaction. When the enzyme was completely inactivated, approximately 1 mol of [14C]oADP per mol of subunit was incorporated. Cleavage of [14C]oADP-modified enzyme with trypsin and subsequent separation of peptides by RP-HPLC gave only one radioactive peak. Amino-acid sequencing of the radioactive tryptic peptide revealed the target site of oADP reaction to be Lys360. These results indicate that oADP inactivates FDH by specific reaction at the nucleotide binding site, with negative cooperativity between subunits accounting for the appearance of two phases of inactivation. Molecular modelling studies were used to create a model of C. boidinii FDH, based on the known structure of the Pseudomonas enzyme, using the MODELLER 4 program. The model confirmed that Lys360 is positioned at the NAD+-binding site. Site-directed mutagenesis was used in dissecting the structure and functional role of Lys360. The mutant Lys360-->Ala enzyme exhibited unchanged kcat and Km values for formate but showed reduced affinity for NAD+. The molecular model was used to help interpret these biochemical data concerning the Lys360-->Ala enzyme. The data are discussed in terms of engineering coenzyme specificity.

Abstract
The structure of MTH538, a previously uncharacterized hypothetical protein from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, has been determined by NMR spectroscopy. MTH538 is one of numerous structural genomics targets selected in a genome-wide survey of uncharacterized sequences from this organism. MTH538 is a so-called singleton, a sequence not closely related to any other (known) sequences. The structure of MTH538 closely resembles the known structures of receiver domains from two component response regulator systems, such as CheY, and is similar to the structures of flavodoxins and GTP-binding proteins. Tests on MTH538 for characteristic activities of CheY and flavodoxin were negative. MTH538 did not become phosphorylated in the presence of acetyl phosphate and Mg(2+), although it appeared to bind Mg(2+). MTH538 also did not bind flavin mononucleotide (FMN) or coenzyme F(420). Nevertheless, sequence and structure parallels between MTH538/CheY and two families of ATPase/phosphatase proteins suggest that MTH538 may have a role in a phosphorylation-independent two-component response regulator system.

Abstract
In Escherichia coli, the PurT-encoded glycinamide ribonucleotide transformylase, or PurT transformylase, catalyzes an alternative formylation of glycinamide ribonucleotide (GAR) in the de novo pathway for purine biosynthesis. On the basis of amino acid sequence analyses, it is known that the PurT transformylase belongs to the ATP-grasp superfamily of proteins. The common theme among members of this superfamily is a catalytic reaction mechanism that requires ATP and proceeds through an acyl phosphate intermediate. All of the enzymes belonging to the ATP-grasp superfamily are composed of three structural motifs, termed the A-, B-, and C-domains, and in each case, the ATP is wedged between the B- and C-domains. Here we describe two high-resolution X-ray crystallographic structures of PurT transformylase from E. coli: one form complexed with the nonhydrolyzable ATP analogue AMPPNP and the second with bound AMPPNP and GAR. The latter structure is of special significance because it represents the first ternary complex to be determined for a member of the ATP-grasp superfamily involved in purine biosynthesis and as such provides new information about the active site region involved in ribonucleotide binding. Specifically in PurT transformylase, the GAR substrate is anchored to the protein via Glu 82, Asp 286, Lys 355, Arg 362, and Arg 363. Key amino acid side chains involved in binding the AMPPNP to the enzyme include Arg 114, Lys 155, Glu 195, Glu 203, and Glu 267. Strikingly, the amino group of GAR that is formylated during the reaction lies at 2.8 A from one of the gamma-phosphoryl oxygens of the AMPPNP.

Abstract
Transhydrogenase couples the stereospecific and reversible transfer of hydride equivalents from NADH to NADP(+) to the translocation of proton across the inner membrane in mitochondria and the cytoplasmic membrane in bacteria. Like all transhydrogenases, the Escherichia coli enzyme is composed of three domains. Domains I and III protrude from the membrane and contain the binding site for NAD(H) and NADP(H), respectively. Domain II spans the membrane and constitutes at least partly the proton translocating pathway. Three-dimensional models of the hydrophilic domains I and III deduced from crystallographic and NMR data and a new topology of domain II are presented. The new information obtained from the structures and the numerous mutation studies strengthen the proposition of a binding change mechanism, as a way to couple the reduction of NADP(+) by NADH to proton translocation and occurring mainly at the level of the NADP(H) binding site.

Abstract
The gene of the NAD-dependent formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from the yeast Candida boidinii was cloned by PCR using genomic DNA as a template. Expression of the gene in Escherichia coli yielded functional FDH with about 20% of the soluble cell protein. To confirm the hypothesis of a thiol-coupled inactivation process, both cysteine residues in the primary structure of the enzyme have been exchanged by site-directed mutagenesis using a homology model based on the 3D structure of FDH from Pseudomonas sp. 101 and from related dehydrogenases. Compared to the wt enzyme, most of the mutants were significantly more stable towards oxidative stress in the presence of Cu(II) ions, whereas the temperature optima and kinetic constants of the enzymatic reaction are not significantly altered by the mutations. Determination of the Tm values revealed that the stability at temperatures above 50 degrees C is optimal for the native and the recombinant wt enzyme (Tm 57 degrees C), whereas the Tm values of the mutant enzymes vary in the range 44-52 degrees C. Best results in initial tests concerning the application of the enzyme for regeneration of NADH in biotransformation of trimethyl pyruvate to Ltert leucine were obtained with two mutants, FDHC23S and FDHC23S/C262A, which are significantly more stable than the wt enzyme.

Abstract
The role of three histidine residues (His205, His296 and His303) and Asp259, important for the catalysis of NAD+-specific D-lactate dehydrogenase, was investigated using site-directed mutagenesis. None of these residues is presumed to be involved in coenzyme binding because Km for NADH remained essentially unchanged for all the mutant enzymes. Replacement of His205 with lysine resulted in a 125-fold reduction in kcat and a slight lowering of the Km value for pyruvate. D259N mutant showed a 56-fold reduction in kcat and a fivefold lowering of Km. The enzymatic activity profile shifted towards acidic pH by approximately 2 units. The H303K mutation produced no significant change in kcat values, although Km for pyruvate increased fourfold. Substitution of His296 with lysine produced no significant change in kcat values or in Km for substrate. The results obtained suggest that His205 and Asp259 play an important role in catalysis, whereas His303 does not. This corroborates structural information available for some members of the D-specific dehydrogenases family. The catalytic His296, proposed from structural studies to be the active site acid/base catalyst, is not invariant. Its function can be accomplished by lysine and this has significant implications for the enzymatic mechanism.

Abstract
Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) alcohol dehydrogenase I (SceADH) binds NAD+ and NADH less tightly and turns over substrates more rapidly than does horse (Equus caballus) liver alcohol dehydrogenase E isoenzyme (EcaADH), and neither enzyme uses NADP efficiently. Amino acid residues in the proposed adenylate binding pocket of SceADH were substituted in attempts to improve affinity for coenzymes or reactivity with NADP. Substitutions in SceADH (Gly202Ile or Ser246Ile) with the corresponding residues in the adenine binding site of the homologous EcaADH have modest effects on coenzyme binding and other kinetic constants, but the Ser246Ile substitution decreases turnover numbers by 350-fold. The Ser176Phe substitution (also near adenine site) significantly decreases affinity for coenzymes and turnover numbers. In the consensus nucleotide-binding betaalphabeta fold sequence, SceADH has two alanine residues (177-GAAGGLG-183) instead of the Leu200 in EcaADH (199-GLGGVG-204); the Ala178-Ala179 to Leu substitution significantly decreases affinity for coenzymes and turnover numbers. Some NADP-dependent enzymes have an Ala corresponding to Gly183 in SceADH; the Gly183Ala substitution significantly decreases affinity for coenzymes and turnover numbers. NADP-dependent enzymes usually have a neutral residue instead of the Asp (Asp201 in SceADH) that interacts with the hydroxyl groups of the adenosine ribose, along with a basic residue (at position 202 or 203) to stabilize the 2'-phosphate of NADP. The Gly203Arg change in SceADH does not significantly affect the kinetics. The Gly183Ala or Gly203Arg substitutions do not enable SceADH to use NADP+ as coenzyme. SceADH with the single Asp201Gly or double Asp201Gly:Gly203Arg substitutions have similar, low activity with NADP+. The results suggest that several of the amino acid residues participate in coenzyme binding and that conversion of specificity for coenzyme requires multiple substitutions.

Abstract
The crystal structure of rat liver S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine hydrolase (AdoHcyase, EC 3.3.1.1) which catalyzes the reversible hydrolysis of S-adenosylhomocysteine (AdoHcy) has been determined at 2.8 A resolution. AdoHcyase from rat liver is a tetrameric enzyme with 431 amino acid residues in each identical subunit. The subunit is composed of the catalytic domain, the NAD+-binding domain, and the small C-terminal domain. Both catalytic and NAD+-binding domains are folded into an ellipsoid with a typical alpha/beta twisted open sheet structure. The C-terminal section is far from the main body of the subunit and extends into the opposite subunit. An NAD+ molecule binds to the consensus NAD+-binding cleft of the NAD+-binding domain. The peptide folding pattern of the catalytic domain is quite similar to the patterns observed in many methyltransferases. Although the crystal structure does not contain AdoHcy or its analogue, there is a well-formed AdoHcy-binding crevice in the catalytic domain. Without introducing any major structural changes, an AdoHcy molecule can be placed in the catalytic domain. In the structure described here, the catalytic and NAD+-binding domains are quite far apart from each other. Thus, the enzyme appears to have an "open" conformation in the absence of substrate. It is likely that binding of AdoHcy induces a large conformational change so as to place the ribose moiety of AdoHcy in close proximity to the nicotinamide moiety of NAD+. A catalytic mechanism of AdoHcyase has been proposed on the basis of this crystal structure. Glu155 acts as a proton acceptor from the O3'-H when the proton of C3'-H is abstracted by NAD+. His54 or Asp130 acts as a general acid-base catalyst, while Cys194 modulates the oxidation state of the bound NAD+. The polypeptide folding pattern of the catalytic domain suggests that AdoHcy molecules can travel freely to and from AdoHcyase and methyltransferases to properly regulate methyltransferase activities. We believe that the crystal structure described here can provide insight into the molecular architecture of this important regulatory enzyme.

Abstract
NAD+-dependent formate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.2, FDH) from methylotrophic bacterium Pseudomonas sp.101 exhibits the highest stability among the similar type enzymes studied. To obtain further increase in the thermal stability of FDH we used one of general approaches based on hydrophobization of protein alpha-helices. Five serine residues in positions 131, 160, 168, 184 and 228 were selected for mutagenesis on the basis of (i) comparative studies of nine FDH amino acid sequences from different sources and (ii) with the analysis of the ternary structure of the enzyme from Pseudomonas sp.101. Residues Ser-131 and Ser-160 were replaced by Ala, Val and Leu. Residues Ser-168, Ser-184 and Ser-228 were changed into Ala. Only Ser/Ala mutations in positions 131, 160, 184 and 228 resulted in an increase of the FDH stability. Mutant S168A was 1.7 times less stable than the wild-type FDH. Double mutants S(131,160)A and S(184,228)A and the four-point mutant S(131,160,184,228)A were also prepared and studied. All FDH mutants with a positive stabilization effect had the same kinetic parameters as wild-type enzyme. Depending on the position of the replaced residue, the single point mutation Ser/Ala increased the FDH stability by 5-24%. Combination of mutations shows near additive effect of each mutation to the total FDH stabilization. Four-point mutant S(131,160,184,228)A FDH had 1.5 times higher thermal stability compared to the wild-type enzyme.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glutamate mutase is an adenosylcobamide (coenzyme B12) dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible rearrangement of (2S)-glutamate to (2S,3S)-3-methylaspartate. The enzyme from Clostridium tetanomorphum comprises two subunits (of 53.7 and 14.8 kDa) and in its active form appears to be an alpha 2 beta 2 tetramer. The smaller subunit, termed MutS, has been characterized as the B12-binding component. Knowledge on the structure of a B12-binding apoenzyme does not exist. RESULTS The solution structure and important dynamical aspects of MutS have been determined from a heteronuclear NMR study. The global fold of MutS in solution resembles that determined by X-ray crystallography for the B12-binding domains of Escherichia coli methionine synthase and Propionibacterium shermanii methylmalonyl CoA mutase. In these two proteins a histidine residue displaces the endogenous cobalt-coordinating ligand of the B12 cofactor. In MutS, however, the segment of the protein containing the conserved histidine residue forms part of an unstructured and mobile extended loop. CONCLUSIONS A comparison of the crystal structures of two B12-binding domains, with bound B12 cofactor, and the solution structure of the apoprotein MutS has helped to clarify the mechanism of B12 binding. The major part of MutS is preorganized for B12 binding, but the B12-binding site itself is only partially formed. Upon binding B12, important elements of the binding site appear to become structured, including an alpha helix that forms one side of the cleft accommodating the nucleotide 'tail' of the cofactor.

Abstract
The structure of the hexameric L-alanine dehydrogenase from Phormidium lapideum reveals that the subunit is constructed from two domains, each having the common dinucleotide binding fold. Despite there being no sequence similarity, the fold of alanine dehydrogenase is closely related to that of the family of D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases, with a similar location of the active site, suggesting that these enzymes are related by divergent evolution. L-alanine dehydrogenase and the 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases also use equivalent functional groups to promote substrate recognition and catalysis. However, they are arranged differently on the enzyme surface, which has the effect of directing opposite faces of the keto acid to the dinucleotide in each case, forcing a change in absolute configuration of the product.

Abstract
The gene encoding the vancomycin resistance protein VanH from Enterococcus faecium, a D-lactate dehydrogenase, has been cloned into a thioredoxin expression system (pTRxFus) and expressed as a fusion protein. The use of several other expression systems yielded only inclusion bodies from which no functional protein could be recovered. Experiments to remove the thioredoxin moiety by enterokinase cleavage at the engineered recognition site under a variety of conditions resulted in nonspecific proteolysis and inactivation of the protein. The intact fusion protein was, therefore, used for kinetic studies and crystallization trials. It has been purified to greater than 90% homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by phenyl Sepharose chromatography. Based on k(cat)/KM for pyruvate, it is 20% as active as native VanH. Michaelis constants for NADPH, NADH, and pyruvate, of approximately 3.5 microM, 19.0 microM, and 1.5 mM, respectively, were comparable to those reported for the native VanH (Bugg TDH et al., 1991, Biochemistry 30:10408-10415). Like native VanH, maximum activity of the fusion protein requires the presence of an anion (phosphate or acetate), however, in addition, a strongly reducing environment is needed for optimal efficacy. Competitive inhibition constants for ADP-ribose, NAD+, and oxamate have also been determined. Crystallization by hanging drop vapor diffusion produced two different crystal forms, one hexagonal and the other tetragonal. Flash-frozen crystals of the tetragonal form diffracted to 3.0 A resolution at a synchrotron radiation source.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The biosynthesis of key metabolic components is of major interest to biologists. Studies of de novo purine synthesis are aimed at obtaining a deeper understanding of this central pathway and the development of effective chemotherapeutic agents. Phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarboxamide (SAICAR) synthase catalyses the seventh step out of ten in the biosynthesis of purine nucleotides. To date, only one structure of an enzyme involved in purine biosynthesis has been reported: adenylosuccinate synthetase, which catalyses the first committed step in the synthesis of AMP from IMP. RESULTS We report the first three-dimensional structure of a SAICAR synthase, from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is a monomer with three domains. The first two domains consist of antiparallel beta sheets and the third is composed of two alpha helices. There is a long deep cleft made up of residues from all three domains. Comparison of SAICAR synthases by alignment of their sequences reveals a number of conserved residues, mostly located in the cleft. The presence of two sulphate ions bound in the cleft, the structure of SAICAR synthase in complex with ATP and a comparison of this structure with that of other ATP-dependent proteins point to the interdomain cleft as the location of the active site. CONCLUSIONS The topology of the first domain of SAICAR synthase resembles that of the N-terminal domain of proteins belonging to the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase family. The fold of the second domain is similar to that of members of the D-alanine:D-alanine ligase family. Together these enzymes form a new superfamily of mononucleotide-binding domains. There appears to be no other enzyme, however, which is composed of the same combination of three domains, with the individual topologies found in SAICAR synthase.

Abstract
L- and D-specific nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent dehydrogenases map to the same structural protein superfamily as defined by the Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) and are based on the Rossmann fold type domains. A detailed classification of these domains is proposed using a novel diagnostic parameter of the rms per aligned pair. The catalytic domain in D-specific dehydrogenases shows a strong structural homology to the coenzyme binding domain. A topologically conserved part within the dehydrogenase superfamily reveals a supersecondary structural motif comprising the 5-stranded left-handedly twisted parallel beta-sheet with one complete and one partial Rossmann fold units and two alpha-helices, the long helix, adjacent to and running roughly parallel with the beta-sheet plane and the helix connecting two Rossmann folds.

Abstract
To identify the proteins induced by Fe deficiency, we have compared the proteins of Fe-sufficient and Fe-deficient barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) roots by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Peptide sequence analysis of induced proteins revealed that formate dehydrogenase (FDH), adenine phosphoribosyltransferase, and the lds3 gene product (for Fe deficiency-specific) increased in Fe-deficient roots. FDH enzyme activity was detected in Fe-deficient roots but not in Fe-sufficient roots. A cDNA encoding FDH (Fdh) was cloned and sequenced. Fdh expression was induced by Fe deficiency. Fdh was also expressed under anaerobic stress and its expression was more rapid than that induced by Fe deficiency. Thus, the expression of Fdh observed in Fe-deficient barley roots appeared to be a secondary effect caused by oxygen deficiency in Fe-deficient plants.

Abstract
The conformation of NAD bound to diphtheria toxin (DT), an ADP-ribosylating enzyme, has been compared to the conformations of NAD(P) bound to 23 distinct NAD(P)-binding oxidoreductase enzymes, whose structures are available in the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank. For the oxidoreductase enzymes, NAD(P) functions as a cofactor in electron transfer, whereas for DT, NAD is a labile substrate in which the N-glycosidic bond between the nicotinamide ring and the N-ribose is cleaved. All NAD(P) conformations were compared by (1) visual inspection of superimposed molecules, (2) RMSD of atomic positions, (3) principal component analysis, and (4) analysis of torsion angles and other conformational parameters. Whereas the majority of oxidoreductase-bound NAD(P) conformations are found to be similar, the conformation of NAD bound to DT is found to be unusual. Distinctive features of the conformation of NAD bound to DT that may be relevant to DT's function as an ADP-ribosylating enzyme include (1) an unusually short distance between the PN and N1N atoms, reflecting a highly folded conformation for the nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) portion of NAD, and (2) a torsion angle chi N approximately 0 degree about the scissile N-glycosidic bond, placing the nicotinamide ring outside of the preferred anti and syn orientations. In NAD bound to DT, the highly folded NMN conformation and torsion angle chi N approximately 0 degree could contribute to catalysis, possibly by orienting the C1'N atom of NAD for nucleophilic attack, or by placing strain on the N-glycosidic bond, which is cleaved by DT. The unusual overall conformation of NAD bound to DT is likely to reflect the structure of DT, which is unusual among NAD(P)-binding enzymes. In DT, the NAD binding site is formed at the junction of two antiparallel beta-sheets. In contrast, although the 24 oxidoreductase enzymes belong to at least six different structural classes, almost all of them bind NAD(P) at the C-terminal end of a parallel beta-sheet. The structural alignments and principal component analysis show that enzymes of the same structural class bind to particularly similar conformations of NAD(P), with few exceptions. The conformation of NAD bound to DT superimposes closely with that of an NAD analogue bound to Pseudomonas exotoxin A, an ADP-ribosylating toxin that is structurally homologous to DT. This suggests that all of the ADP-ribosylating enzymes that are structurally homologous to DT and ETA will bind a highly similar conformation of NAD.

Abstract
The ubiquitous redox cofactors nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides [NAD and NADP] are very similar molecules, despite their participation in substantially different biochemical processes. NADP differs from NAD in only the presence of an additional phosphate group esterified to the 2'-hydroxyl group of the ribose at the adenine end and yet NADP is confined with few exceptions to the reactions of reductive biosynthesis, whereas NAD is used almost exclusively in oxidative degradations. The discrimination between NAD and NADP is therefore an impressive example of the power of molecular recognition by proteins. The many known tertiary structures of NADP complexes affords the possibility for an analysis of their discrimination. A systematic analysis of several crystal structures of NAD(P)-protein complexes show that: 1) the NADP coenzymes are more flexible in conformation than those of NAD; 2) although the protein-cofactor interactions are largely conserved in the NAD complexes, they are quite variable in those of NADP; and 3) in both cases the pocket around the nicotinamide moiety is substrate dependent. The conserved and variable interactions between protein and cofactors in the respective binding pockets are reported in detail. Discrimination between NAD and NADP is essentially a consequence of the overall pocket and not of a few residues. A clear fingerprint in NAD complexes is a carboxylate side chain that chelates the diol group at the ribose near the adenine, whereas in NADP complexes an arginine side chain faces the adenine plane and interacts with the phosphomonoester. The latter type of interaction might be a general feature of recognition of nucleotides by proteins. Other features such as strand-like hydrogen bonding between the NADP diphosphate moieties and the protein are also significant. The NADP binding pocket properties should prove useful in protein engineering and design.

Abstract
D-2-hydroxyisocaproate dehydrogenase (D-HicDH) from Lactobacillus casei is a homodimer with 333 amino acids and a molecular mass of 37 kDa per subunit. The enzyme belongs to the protein family of NAD+-dependent D-2-hydroxycarboxylate dehydrogenases and within this family to the subgroup of D-lactate dehydrogenases (D-LDHs). Compared with other D-LDHs D-HicDH is characterized by a very low specificity regarding size and chemical constitution of the accepted D-2-hydroxycarboxylates. Hexagonal crystals of recombinant D-HicDH in the presence of NAD+ and 2-oxoisocaproate (4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate) were grown with ammonium sulphate as precipitating agent. The structure of these crystals was solved by molecular replacement and refined to a final R-factor of 19.6% for all measured X-ray reflections in the resolution range (infinity to 1.86 A). Both NAD+ and 2-oxoisocaproate were identified in the electron density map; binding of the latter in the active site, however, competes with a sulphate ion, which is also defined by electron density. Additionally the final model contains 182 water molecules and a second sulphate ion. The binding of both an in vitro substrate and the natural cosubstrate in the active site provides substantial insight into the catalytic mechanism and allows us to assess previously published active site models for this enzyme family, in particular the two most controversial points, the role of the conserved Arg234 and substrate binding. Furthermore the overall topology and details of the D-HicDH structure are described, discussed against the background of homologous structures and compared with one closely and one distantly related protein.

Abstract
Five residues involved in catalysis and coenzyme binding have been identified in D-2-hydroxy-4-methylvalerate dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus by using biochemical and genetical methods. Enzyme inactivation with diethylpyrocarbonate indicated that a single histidine residue was involved in catalysis. Since H296 is the only conserved histidine in the whole family of NAD-dependent D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases, we constructed the H296Q and H296S mutants and showed that their catalytic efficiencies were reduced 10(5)-fold compared with the wild-type enzyme. This low residual activity was shown to be insensitive to diethylpyrocarbonate. Taken together these data demonstrate that H296 is responsible for proton exchange in the redox reaction. Two acidic residues (D259 and E264) were candidates for maintaining H296 in the protonated state and their roles were examined by mutagenesis. The D259N and E264Q mutant enzymes both showed similar and large reductions in their Kcat/K(m) ratios (200-800-fold, depending on pH), indicating that either D259 or E264 (or both) could partner H296. The conserved R235 residue was a candidate for binding the alpha-carboxyl group of the substrate and it was changed to lysine. The R235K mutant showed a 104-fold reduced Kcat/K(m) due to both an increased K(m) and a reduced Kcat for 2-oxo-4-methylvalerate. Thus R235 plays a role in binding the substrate carboxylate similar to R171 in the L-lactate dehydrogenases. Finally, we constructed the H205Q mutant to test the role of this partially conserved histidine residue (in 10/13 enzymes of the family). This mutant enzyme displayed a 7.7-fold increased Kcat and a doubled catalytic efficiency at pH 5, was as sensitive to diethylpyrocarbonate as the wild-type but showed a sevenfold increased K(m) for NADH and a 100-fold increase in Kd for NADH together with 10-30-fold lower substrate inhibition. The transient kinetic behaviour of the H205Q mutant is as predicted from our previous study on the enzymatic mechanism of D-2-hydroxy-4-methylvalerate dehydrogenase which showed that coenzyme binding is highly pH dependent and indicated that release of the oxidised coenzyme is a significant component of the rate-limiting processes in catalysis at pH 6.5.

Abstract
To define in detail the molecular mechanism of NAD+-dependent formate dehydrogenase, the pH dependences of various kinetic and spectroscopic parameters have been studied: Vmax, Km (NAD+), Km (formate), inhibition constants for structural analogues of substrate (NO3-) and product (CNS-, CNO-, N3-), CD and fluorescence properties. The value of Vmax, rate-limiting hydride transfer, is nearly constant throughout the entire pH range of enzyme stability (6.0-11.2) but decreases below 6. The K(m) values for both substrates remain constant within the pH range 6-10. At pH values below 6 (for the coenzyme) and above 10 (for both substrate and coenzyme) the Km values increase. In the acidic range this change is attributed to the ionization of two carboxy groups (pK approx. 5.5-6.0) located at the NAD+-binding site of the enzyme active centre. The pH transition in the basic region (pK 10.5 +/- 0.2) has a conformational origin and affects the enzyme's affinity for substrates and anion inhibitors. A similar transition has been observed for formate dehydrogenases from yeast Candida boidinii and Hansenula polymorpha. The results complement the conclusions about the catalytic mechanism deduced from the crystal structure of the enzyme.

Abstract
Gln313 and His332 residues in the active centre of NAD(+)-dependent formate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.2, FDH) from the bacterium Pseudomonas sp. 101 are conserved in all FDHs and are equivalent to the glutamate-histidine pair in active sites of D-specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases. Two mutants of formate dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas sp. 101, Gln313Glu and His332Phe, have been obtained and characterised. The Gln313Glu mutation shifts the pK of the group controlling formate binding from less than 5.5 in wild-type enzyme to 7.6 thus indicating that Gln313 is essential for the broad pH affinity profile towards substrate. His332Phe mutation leads to a complete loss of enzyme activity. The His332Phe mutant is still able to bind coenzyme but not substrate or analogues. The role of histidine in the active centre of FDH is discussed. The protonation state of His332 is not critical for catalysis but vital for substrate binding. A partial positive charge on the histidine imidazole, required for substrate binding, is provided via tight H-bond to the Gln313 carboxamide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND D-Lactate dehydrogenases (D-LDHs) and L-lactate dehydrogenases (L-LDHs) catalyze a reaction differing only in the chirality of the product. Both enzymes utilize the same kind of amino acid side chains in substrate binding and catalysis. Models based on D-LDH-related enzymes propose that these side chains assume identical roles in both enzymes with their active sites related by a simple geometrical relationship such as a mirror plane. RESULTS The crystal structure of the homodimeric D-LDH from Lactobacillus pentosus has been determined to 2.6 A resolution by multiple isomorphous replacement methods and the resulting molecular model refined to an R-factor of 19.1%. Topologically, the enzyme is closely related to other D-2-ketoacid dehydrogenase enzymes. Each subunit comprises two domains enclosing a deep cleft containing the active site. Substrate binding and domain closure have been modelled. CONCLUSIONS Comparison of the D-LDH structure with other members of the protein family and with the L-specific enzyme has confirmed that no overall structural relationship exists between the L-LDH and D-LDH enzymes - they belong to distinct protein classes. The small size of the ketoacid substrate and the very restricted number of functionally appropriate side chains will constrain the choice of amino acids and their placement in the active site. Our models imply that although the same kinds of amino acids are involved in substrate binding their exact chemical role might differ in the two dehydrogenases.

Abstract
Escherichia coli D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (ePGDH) is a tetramer of identical subunits that is allosterically inhibited by L-serine, the end product of its metabolic pathway. Because serine binding affects the velocity of the reaction and not the binding of substrate or cofactor, the enzyme is classified as of the Vmax type. Inhibition by a variety of amino acids and analogues of L-serine indicate that all three functional groups of serine are required for optimal interaction. Removing or altering any one functional group results in an increase in inhibitory concentration from micromolar to millimolar, and removal or alteration of any two functional groups removes all inhibitory ability. Kinetic studies indicate at least two serine-binding sites, but the crystal structure solved in the presence of bound serine and direct serine-binding studies show that there are a total of four serine-binding sites on the enzyme. However, approximately 85% inhibition is attained when only two sites are occupied. The three-dimensional structure of ePGDH shows that the serine-binding sites reside at the interface between regulatory domains of adjacent subunits. Two serine molecules bind at each of the two regulatory domain interfaces in the enzyme. When all four of the serines are bound, 100% inhibition of activity is seen. However, because the domain contacts are symmetrical, the binding of only one serine at each interface is sufficient to produce approximately 85% inhibition. The tethering of the regulatory domains to each other through multiple hydrogen bonds from serine to each subunit apparently prevents the body of these domains from undergoing the reorientation that must accompany a catalytic cycle. It is suggested that part of the conformational change may involve a hinge formed in the vicinity of the union of two antiparallel beta-sheets in the regulatory domains. The tethering function of serine, in turn, appears to prevent the substrate-binding domain from closing the cleft between it and the nucleotide-binding domain, which may be necessary to form a productive hydrophobic environment for hydride transfer. Thus, the structure provides a plausible model that is consistent with the binding and inhibition data and that suggests that catalysis and inhibition in this rare Vmax-type allosteric enzyme is based on the movement of rigid domains about flexible hinges.

Abstract
The gene of NAD(+)-dependent formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from Mycobacterium vaccae N10 was cloned into Escherichia coli by hybridization with digoxigenin-labeled DNA probes, which were prepared by amplification of the chromosomal DNA from the bacterium by the polymerase chain reaction with degenerate primers. The primers were designed on the basis of the most conserved parts of known sequences of FDH from different organisms. An open-reading frame of 1200 bp exhibited extremely high sequence similarity to the FDH gene of Pseudomonas sp. 101. The deduced amino acid sequence of FDH from Mycobacterium vaccae N10 (McFDH) was identical to that of Pseudomonas sp. 101 (PsFDH) except for two amino acid residues: isoleucine-35 (threonine in PsFDH) and glutamate-61 (lysine in PsFDH). The physicochemical properties of both enzymes appeared to be closely similar to each other, but the thermostability of McFDH was a little lower than that of PsFDH. To examine the role of the two amino acid residues in the thermostability of the enzymes, glutamate-61 of McFDH was replaced by glutaminyl, prolyl and lysyl residues by site-directed mutagenesis. All the mutant enzymes showed higher thermostability than the wild-type McFDH. The negative charge of glutamate-61 contributes to the stability of the wild-type enzyme being lower than that of PsFDH.

Abstract
All natural proteins are composed of L-amino acids and are inherently chiral. The properties of both L- and chemically synthesized D-amino acids are identical except in optically asymmetric interactions. Structural studies of D-I racemic mixtures of crystallographic interest are discussed. The review also gives some recent examples of stereospecificity: how L-proteins deal with L- or D-substrates and how enzymes can function as racemases. Two particular examples of stereoselectivity are then discussed.

Abstract
Formate dehydrogenase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough, a sulfate-reducing bacterium, has been isolated and characterized. The enzyme is composed of three subunits. A high molecular mass subunit (83,500 Da) is proposed to contain a molybdenum cofactor, a 27,000 Da subunit is found to be similar to the Fe-S subunit of the formate dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli and a low molecular mass subunit (14,000 Da) holds a c-type heme. The presence of heme c in formate dehydrogenase is reported for the first time and is correlated to the peculiar low oxidoreduction potential of the metabolism of these strictly anaerobic bacteria. In vitro measurements have shown that a monoheme cytochrome probably acts as a physiological partner of the enzyme in the periplasm.

Abstract
NAD-dependent formate dehydrogenase (FDH) was isolated from Candida methylica (Cm) grown on 0.5% methanol. Its N-terminal amino acid (aa) sequence was determined, as was that of a commercial FDH from Candida boidinii. Degenerate oligodeoxyribonucleotides were made to the 5' region of the fdh gene from Cm using this information and to the 3' region using C-terminal aa sequence data from the methylotropic yeast, Hansenula polymorpha. An almost complete 1.1-kb fragment was amplified from Cm genomic DNA via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This fragment was cloned, sequenced and used to probe a Southern blot, from which a 3.4-kb EcoRI fragment containing the fdh open reading frame (ORF) was isolated. The complete nucleotide sequence of this fdh ORF was determined and corresponds to a protein of 364 aa (40,343 Da). The ORF of fdh was cloned into pKK223-3 using PCR and transformed into Escherichia coli. Enzymatically active FDH was produced to 15% of soluble E. coli protein. The deduced aa sequence of this FDH is compared to the aa sequences of four known FDH, from bacteria, yeast, fungi and plant mitochondria.

Abstract
The gene encoding D-lactate dehydrogenase was isolated on a 2.9-kb insert from a library of Pediococcus acidilactici DNA by complementation for growth under anaerobiosis of an Escherichia coli lactate dehydrogenase and pyruvate-formate lyase double mutant. The nucleotide sequence of ldhD encodes a protein of 331 amino acids (predicted molecular mass of 37,210 Da) which shows similarity to the family of D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases. The enzyme encoded by the cloned fragment is equally active on pyruvate and hydroxypyruvate, indicating that the enzyme has both D-lactate and D-glycerate dehydrogenase activities. Three other open reading frames were found in the 2.9-kb insert, one of which (rpsB) is highly similar to bacterial genes coding for ribosomal protein S2. Northern (RNA) blotting analyses indicated the presence of a 2-kb dicistronic transcript of ldhD (a metabolic gene) and rpsB (a putative ribosomal protein gene) together with a 1-kb monocistronic rpsB mRNA. These transcripts are abundant in the early phase of exponential growth but steadily fade away to disappear in the stationary phase. Primer extension analysis identified two distinct promoters driving either cotranscription of ldhD and rpsB or transcription of rpsB alone.

Abstract
A three-dimensional structure of the NAD-dependent D-lactate dehydrogenase of Lactobacillus bulgaricus is modeled using the structure of the formate dehydrogenase of Pseudomonas sp. as template. Both sequences share only 22% of identical residues. Regions for knowledge-based modeling are defined from the structurally conserved regions predicted by multiple alignment of a set of related protein sequences with low homology. The model of the D-LDH subunit shows, as for the formate dehydrogenase, an alpha/beta structure, with a catalytic domain and a coenzyme binding domain. It points out the catalytic histidine (His-296) and supports the hypothetical catalytic mechanism. It also suggests that the other residues involved in the active site are Arg-235, possibly involved in the binding of the carboxyl group of the pyruvate, and Phe-299, a candidate for stabilizing the methyl group of the substrate.

Abstract
A three-dimensional structure of the NAD site of Escherichia coli transhydrogenase has been predicted. The model is based on analysis of conserved residues among the transhydrogenases from five different sources, homologies with enzymes using NAD as cofactors or substrates, hydrophilicity profiles, and secondary structure predictions. The present model supports the hypothesis that there is one binding site, located relatively close to the N-terminus of the alpha-subunit. The proposed structure spans residues alpha 145 to alpha 287, and it includes five beta-strands and five alpha-helices oriented in a typical open twisted alpha/beta conformation. The amino acid sequence following the GXGXXG dinucleotide binding consensus sequence (residues alpha 172 to alpha 177) correlates exactly to a typical fingerprint region for ADP binding beta alpha beta folds in dinucleotide binding enzymes. In the model, aspartic acid alpha 195 forms hydrogen bonds to one or both hydroxyl groups on the adenosine ribose sugar moiety. Threonine alpha 196 and alanine alpha 256, located at the end of beta B and beta D, respectively, create a hydrophobic sandwich with the adenine part of NAD buried inside. The nicotinamide part is located in a hydrophobic cleft between alpha A and beta E. Mutagenesis work has been carried out in order to test the predicted model and to determine whether residues within this domain are important for proton pumping directly. All data support the predicted structure, and no residue crucial for proton pumping was detected. Since no three-dimensional structure of transhydrogenase has been solved, a well based tertiary structure prediction is of great value for further experimental design in trying to elucidate the mechanism of the energy-linked proton pump.

Abstract
The crystal structure of the phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase from Escherichia coli is unique among dehydrogenases. It consists of three clearly separate domains connected by flexible hinges. The tetramer has approximate 222 symmetry with the principal contacts between the subunits forming between either the nucleotide binding domains or the regulatory domains. Two slightly different subunit conformations are present which vary only in the orientations of the domains. There is a hinge-like arrangement near the active site cleft and the serine effector site is provided by the regulatory domain of each of two subunits. Interdomain flexibility may play a key role in both catalysis and allosteric inhibition.
