主 题:Glycosyltransferase Regio-selectivity Crystal structure De-glycosylation Catalytic mechanisms
摘 要:Glycosylation is an important post-modification reaction in plant secondary metabolism,and contributes to structural diversity of bioactive natural *** plants,glycosylation is usually catalyzed by *** 2′-O-glycosides are rare ***,no UGTs have been reported,thus far,to specifically catalyze 2′-O-glycosylation of *** this work,UGT71AP2 was identified from the medicinal plant Scutellaria baicalensis as the first flavonoid 2′-*** could preferentially transfer a glycosyl moiety to 2′-hydroxy of at least nine flavonoids to yield six new *** of the 2′-O-glycosides showed noticeable inhibitory activities against cyclooxygenase *** crystal structure of UGT71AP2(2.15Å)was solved,and mechanisms of its regio-selectivity was interpreted by pKa calculations,molecular docking,MD simulation,MM/GBSA binding free energy,QM/MM,and hydrogen‒deuterium exchange mass spectrometry *** structure-guided rational design,we obtained the L138T/V179D/M180T mutant with remarkably enhanced regio-selectivity(the ratio of 7-O-glycosylation byproducts decreased from 48%to 4%)and catalytic efficiency of 2′-O-glycosylation(kcat/Km,0.23 L/(s·μmol),12-fold higher than the native).Moreover,UGT71AP2 also possesses moderate UDP-dependent de-glycosylation activity,and is a dual function *** work provides an efficient biocatalyst and sets a good example for protein engineering to optimize enzyme catalytic features through rational design.
