The crystal structure of a quinohemoprotein amine
dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas putida has been determined
at 1.9-Å resolution. The enzyme comprises three non-identical
subunits: a four-domain Recently, a number of modified amino acids have been identified in
proteins that are generated by post-translational oxidation or
non-oxidation processes (1, 2). Such a controlled modification of a
specific amino acid residue forming part of the active site provides
catalytic power to the protein. In the case of a certain class of
amine-oxidizing enzymes, depending on the enzyme concerned, oxidation
of a specific tyrosine or tryptophan residue leads to the generation of
a redox-active quinone cofactor: 2,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine quinone
(topaquinone) (3), lysine tyrosylquinone (4), or tryptophan
tryptophylquinone (TTQ)1 (5).
Together with several enzymes containing the first identified, non-proteinous quinone cofactor, pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), the
enzymes containing those cofactors constitute a quinoprotein family of
enzymes (6).
Quinohemoprotein amine dehydrogenases (QH-AmDH) from Gram-negative
bacteria represent a new type in the quinoprotein class of
amine-oxidizing enzymes because they contain not only a quinone but
also one or two hemes as a redox active group (7, 8) providing an
opportunity for intramolecular electron transfer. Intermolecular
electron transfer from QH-AmDH has been demonstrated with the natural
electron acceptors azurin for the enzyme from Pseudomonas
putida (7) and cytochrome c-550 for the enzyme from
Paracoccus denitrificans (9). The structure of the presumed quinone cofactor in QH-AmDH remain to be settled, although biochemical and spectroscopic analyses have suggested the presence of a quinone group similar to, but not identical, with TTQ (7, 8).
To identify the quinone cofactor and its position in the protein, we
(10) have recently determined the primary structure of the
quinone-containing small subunit of QH-AmDH from P. putida using a combination of automated Edman degradation and mass
spectrometry, and we have also cloned the genes coding for the three
subunits of the heterotrimeric enzyme. Although we initially
encountered difficulties in the interpretation of the chemical and mass
data, the progress in elucidating the crystal structure of the enzyme enabled us to unequivocally identify a novel quinone cofactor, cysteine tryptophylquinone (CTQ) (naming is analogous with that for
TTQ). Besides this novel "in situ-generated"
quinone cofactor, the covalent structure reported in the preceding
article (10) and the 1.9-Å crystal structure reported in the present
article have also revealed a unique feature of the catalytic
Crystallization and Data Collection--
QH-AmDH of P. putida was purified as described (7) and crystallized at 20 °C
using the hanging-drop vapor-diffusion method. Drops were prepared by
mixing 5 µl of 12 mg ml Structure Determination and Refinement--
The structure was
solved by multiple isomorphous replacement and anomalous scattering.
The location of the initial heavy atom sites was determined by the
difference Patterson method. The experimental phases to 3.0 Å were
calculated using SHARP (13) with a figure of merit of 0.74 including
all derivatives followed by solvent flattening by SOLOMON (14) with a
figure of merit of 0.94. The resulting phases were improved and
extended to 2.6 Å. The model of QH-AmDH was built stepwise into the
2.6-Å map with the program O (15), and a series of refinements was
performed with the program XPLOR (16). In this stage, the
The same refinement procedure was applied to the
pNPH-complexed enzyme but using the coordinates of the
native QH-AmDH as an initial model. When the
Rfactor value reached below 29%, the difference
Fourier map clearly exhibited the residual electron density
corresponding to the bound pNPH. Further model building and
refinement cycles gave Rfactor and
Rfree values of 21.1 and 25.0%, respectively,
calculated for 74,658 reflections (Fo > 2 Quality of the Structure--
The final models of the native
enzyme and the pNPH complex both contained 909 amino acid
residues and two heme c groups with 457 water molecules for
the native enzyme and 359 water molecules plus one pNPH
molecule (as the hydrazone) for the pNPH complex. No
interpretable electron density was observed for one N-terminal residue
of the Overall Structure--
The crystal structure of the native
QH-AmDH was determined at 1.9-Å resolution (Tables
I and II), utilizing the DNA-based protein sequence (10). Consistent with
the previous biochemical analysis (7), the enzyme is composed of three
non-identical subunits: a 494-residue

The Active Site Cavity and Presumed Catalytic Base--
On close
inspection of the Implication for Cofactor and Cofactor Subunit Biogenesis--
The
unique active site structure of QH-AmDH raises a number of questions:
Why, when, where, and how are the CTQ cofactor and the multiple
internal cross-links in the
-subunit that harbors a di-heme cytochrome
c, a seven-bladed
-propeller
-subunit that provides
part of the active site, and a small
-subunit that contains a novel
cross-linked, proteinous quinone cofactor, cysteine
tryptophylquinone. More surprisingly, the catalytic
-subunit
contains three additional chemical cross-links that encage the cysteine
tryptophylquinone cofactor, involving a cysteine side chain bridged to
either an Asp or Glu residue all in a hitherto unknown thioether
bonding with a methylene carbon atom of acidic amino acid side chains.
Thus, the structure of the 79-residue
-subunit is quite unusual,
containing four internal cross-links in such a short polypeptide chain
that would otherwise be difficult to fold into a globular structure.

1 protein solution with 5 µl
of a reservoir solution of 18% (w/v) polyethylene glycol 2000 monomethylether and 50 mM NiCl2. Crystals grew
in a space group C2 (unit cell: a = 167.2, b = 91.5, c = 78.9 Å, and
= 113°) with one heterotrimeric molecule in the asymmetric unit. To
prepare the complex with p-nitrophenylhydrazine (pNPH), the native crystals were soaked in the solutions
supplemented with 1 mM pNPH. The heavy atom
derivatives were obtained by soaking the crystals in solutions
containing heavy atom reagents. The data sets for the native crystals,
the pNPH-complexed crystals, and the crystals for heavy atom
derivatives were collected at 287 K on Beam Line 18B at Photon Factory
(Tsukuba, Japan) (see Table I). The intensity data were integrated and
scaled with DPS/MOSFLM (11) and SCALA/CCP4 (12).
- and
-subunits were modeled nicely on the electron density map, but the
-subunit could be modeled only partially because of its anomalous
structure containing very few
-helices and no
-strands (see
"Results and Discussion"). Therefore, the phases were further
improved based on this temporal model, and subsequently the
2Fo
Fc electron density
map was calculated at 1.9-Å resolution. The resultant map was of
sufficient quality for tracing the whole polypeptide chain of the
-subunit with the side chains referring to the primary structure. After several rounds of refinement and manual rebuilding, Rfactor and Rfree were
reduced to 29.8 and 26.7%, respectively. Water molecules were picked
up from the difference map on the basis of the peak heights and
distance criteria except for those whose thermal factors after
refinement were above 58 Å2 (corresponding to the maximum
thermal factor of the main chain atoms). Further model building and
refinement cycles resulted in an Rfactor value
of 21.1% and an Rfree value of 24.5%
calculated for 87,307 reflections (Fo > 2

of QH-AmDH from P. putida. A, stereo
diagram of the overall structure of the heterotrimer. The
-subunit
(blue) consists of one
-helical domain
(domain I) and three
-barrel domains (domains
II-IV). Two heme c groups (green) are bound
to domain I through a covalent bond. The seven-bladed
-propeller
-subunit (yellow) is viewed perpendicularly to the pseudo
seven-fold axis. The
-subunit (red) is placed in the

-subunit, shown with the two heme c groups
attached in domain I of the
-subunit. CTQ and residues involved in
internal cross-bridges (red) are shown in ball-and-stick
representation.
-subunit comprises four distinct domains (I-IV). Domain I has a
predominant helical structure and can be subdivided into two
subdomains, each containing a heme c group covalently
attached to a Cys residue through a thioether linkage, as in class I
cytochromes c (21) (Fig. 1A). The overall
structure of domain I is similar to that of a di-heme cytochrome
c (22-24), in which the two cytochrome c-like
domains are related by a pseudo 2-fold axis, suggesting that the
-subunit harbors a di-heme cytochrome c forming an
intramolecular electron transfer system. One of the two heme
c groups (heme I) is encapsulated within the protein
interior, facing the interface with the
-subunit, whereas the other
heme c (heme II) is situated at the interface between the
- and
-subunits, exposing one of its sides toward the solvent.
The two heme planes are tilted by about 51° with each other and
separated in an Fe-Fe distance of 15.8 Å. The two iron atoms of the
heme groups have different axial ligands, His-106
and His-128
in
heme I and His-18
and Met-46
in heme II, suggesting that they
have different redox potentials.
-subunit consist mainly of
-structures with
two short
-helices located on the surface side of domain IV. Domain
II has a typical
-barrel structure with eight up-and-down antiparallel
-strands. Domain III is a pseudo barrel formed by three
and four antiparallel
-strands. Domain IV is also a pseudo barrel of
seven
-strands with an additional
-sheet of three strands on the
N-terminal side and the C-terminal loop interacting with the
-subunit. It is noteworthy that the barrel folds of domains III and
IV resemble those of the first and third domains, respectively, of the
monomeric galactose oxidase, which contains another type of
post-translationally generated redox cofactor, the Cys-Tyr adduct, in
which Cys and Tyr are covalently coupled to each other by a
thioether bond between the sulfur atom and the phenyl ring (25,
26).
-subunit is folded into seven motifs of four up-and-down
antiparallel
-strands, which are arranged around a pseudo seven-fold axis, giving a seven-bladed propeller. The N- and C-terminal
-strands of each blade are located on the inner and outer side,
respectively, of the
-propeller, and the C-terminal strand is
connected to the N-terminal strand of the neighboring blade. The
-propeller fold has also been observed in galactose oxidase (25) and
in quinoproteins such as TTQ-containing methylamine
dehydrogenase (27) and PQQ-dependent glucose (28), methanol
(29) and ethanol (30) dehydrogenases. A structure similarity search
(31) showed that the large
-propeller subunit of methylamine
dehydrogenase is quite similar to the
-subunit of QH-AmDH.
-subunit. As deduced from the DNA sequence (10), this 79-residue
subunit contains a total of four Cys and five Trp residues. However,
neither free SH groups nor S-S bridges were detected in it by chemical
analysis (10). Furthermore, during the initial stage of the structure
determination by x-ray crystallography, modeling of the
-subunit
puzzled us with its main chain branching off at many points in the
electron density map. Complete modeling of the
-subunit became
possible only after the 2Fo
Fc
electron density map was calculated at 1.9-Å resolution using the
phases improved on the basis of the models of the
- and
-subunits. The quality of the omit electron density map reached the
point at which the side chains were identified from the shape of the
electron densities contoured at the 1-
level. In this stage,
the side chains of all the Cys residues in the
-subunit were found
to have unusually close contacts with a Trp, Asp, or Glu residue. For
example, the S
atom of Cys-37
was within the covalent bond
distance with the indolyl C4 atom of Trp-43
. Also, extra electron
densities were found to protrude from the C6 and C7 positions of the
indolyl group of Trp-43
, which were assigned to oxygen atoms based
on the previous finding that the
-subunit contains a quinone group
similar to, but not identical with, TTQ (7). Consequently, the crystal
structure has revealed that one (Cys-37
) of the four Cys residues is
covalently cross-linked to the side chain of Trp-43
(at C4 of the
indole ring), which is modified to an ortho-quinone,
resulting in the novel quinone cofactor CTQ (Figs. 1B and
2A). Furthermore, the other three Cys residues are involved
in thioether cross-bridges with an Asp or Glu residue, all in a
hitherto unknown bonding with a methylene carbon atom of acidic amino
acid side chains: Cys-7
-Glu-16
(C
) (Fig.
2B), Cys-27
-Asp-33
(C
) (Fig. 2A), and Cys-41
-Asp-49
(C
) (Fig. 2C). Crystallographic identification of these cross-linked structures greatly enabled us to
interpret the results obtained by the chemical and mass spectrometric
analyses of the
-subunit, as reported recently (10). Besides the
novel CTQ cofactor encaged by multiple internal cross-bridges, another
intriguing feature is that the
-subunit scarcely contains regular
secondary structures as it has only two short
-helices with many
turns and bends (Fig. 1B). A schematically drawn structure
of the
-subunit (Fig. 2D) reminds us of peptide antibiotics with an internal loop rather than of a protein. Indeed, in
a structure similarity search using the DALI calculation (31), no
structure with Z scores of higher than 2.0 was found, indicating that
the polypeptide fold of the
-subunit is unique. It thus appears that
the multiple cross-links play at least a structural role in maintaining
the globular structure of the small
-subunit polypeptide.

-subunit occupies the space formed between the interface of the
- and
-subunits with 11 N-terminal residues (Ala-3
, Cys-7
-Thr-11
, Val-17
-Gly-21
) and 29 C-terminal residues
(Met-51
-Lys-79
) exposed to the solvent on both sides of the
molecule. The three cross-bridges of Cys to Asp or Glu contained in 48 N-terminal residues (Ala-3
-Met-50
), together with numerous
internal hydrogen bonds, lead to a compact
-subunit and an encaged
CTQ. As compared with the C-terminal part, this region is rich in
hydrophobic and acidic residues. CTQ resides in the vicinity of the
interface between the
- and
-subunits and near the pseudo
seven-fold axis of the
-subunit, directing its C6 carbonyl group
toward the interface. The topology of CTQ, heme I, and heme II (Fig.
1B) suggests that intramolecular electron transfer occurs
from substrate-reduced CTQ to heme II via heme I followed by
intermolecular electron transfer from heme II to azurin (7). The fact
that the quinone ring of CTQ is separated by about 7.8 Å from the edge
of heme I with a dihedral angle of 19° with respect to each plane
supports this view.
-subunit structure, the active site cavity seems
to be located at the interface between the
- and
-subunits,
surrounded by CTQ 43
, the side chains of Pro-13
, Asp-33
,
Pro-40
, and Trp-42
from the
-subunit, and the side chains of
Leu-198
, Phe-200
, Trp-201
, Phe-258
, Tyr-298
, and Thr-341
from the
-subunit (Fig.
3A). Inside the cavity, two water molecules (W1 and W2) are found. A hydrogen-bonding network exists between the C6 carbonyl group of CTQ, the carboxylate group of
Asp-33
, W1, and W2, and the hydroxyl group of Tyr-298
. The N1
nitrogen and C7 carbonyl oxygen of CTQ are hydrogen-bonded to the main
chain carbonyl oxygen of Thr-10
and amide nitrogen atoms of
Asp-12
and Gly-14
, respectively. To determine the catalytic site
of CTQ where substrate amines react (either the C6 or the C7 carbonyl),
the structure of enzyme inhibited by pNPH (7) was
also determined at a 2.0-Å resolution (Tables I and II). The
difference Fourier map clearly indicated a positive electron density
peak in the active site cavity, which could be modeled nicely by the
hydrazone of CTQ with pNPH bound to the C6 position and the
phenyl ring accommodated in the hydrophobic cavity, displacing the two
water molecules (Fig. 3B). Thus, in the catalytic process, the substrate amine presumably reacts with the C6 carbonyl group of
CTQ, forming a Schiff base intermediate similar to the proposed reaction mechanism of TTQ-dependent methylamine
dehydrogenase (32). Because Asp-33
is the sole residue close enough
to the C6 carbonyl oxygen of CTQ and the Schiff base imine nitrogen, it
could act as a catalytic base abstracting the
-proton from the CTQ
substrate Schiff base. The hydrophobic environment around Asp-33
could be helpful in raising the pKa value of the
carboxylate group, thereby enhancing its catalytic function. It should
also be noted that the conformational flexibility of the carboxylate
group of Asp-33
is largely restricted by the cross-link from
Cys-27
to this residue.

-subunit generated? In the absence of
further information, these questions cannot be answered yet. However,
sequencing of the gene cluster encoding QH-AmDH of P. putida
has already provided a clue for how the biogenesis could take place
(10). In the stretch containing the structural genes for the three
subunits, a hypothetical 53-kDa protein was found whose sequence is
homologous to that of "sulfatase-activating enzyme," containing an
iron/sulfur cluster and participating in the oxidative formation of the
formylglycine cofactor in the active site of sulfatase (33). By
analogy, the hypothetical 53-kDa protein could play a role in the
post-translational formation of CTQ and/or the thioether bonds in the
proenzyme of QH-AmDH.
