Effects of active site residues of 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase from pseudomonas sp. b-0831 on its catalysis and cofactor binding.
BIOSCIENCE BIOTECHNOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY(2018)
Abstract
We overexpressed and purified 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas sp. B-0831 (Ps3αHSD) and its mutants where the active site residues known as the SYK triad, Ser114, Tyr153, and Lys157, were mutated. Ps3αHSD catalyzes the reaction by using a nucleotide cofactor. The NADH binding affinity of K157A mutant was much lower than that of the wild-type, mainly due to loss of a hydrogen bond. The decreased affinity would result in decreased kcat. Compared to the wild-type, the mutants S114A and Y153F showed higher Km and lower kcat values in both oxidation and reduction reactions. Simultaneous mutation of S114A and Y153F resulted in a significant decrease in kcat relative to the single mutant. These results are supported by the notion that Tyr153 is a catalytic base and Ser114 would be a substitute. Loss of hydrogen bonding with NADH upon the Y153F mutation resulted in increased enthalpy change, partially compensated by increased entropy change.
