谷氨酰环化酶(QC)在许多分泌肽和蛋白质的氨基末端形成焦谷氨酰残基。我们先前提出哺乳动物QC与锌氨肽酶具有一些共同的特征。我们现在已经基于氨肽酶折叠(PDB代码1AMP)生成了人QC的结构模型,并对表观活性位点残基进行了突变,以评估其在QC催化中的作用。本文提出的人QC的结构模型(以1 MOI保存在蛋白质数据库中)得到了各种折叠预测程序、圆二色谱和二硫化物的支持。1AMP和QC中存在的6个活性位点残基的突变揭示了两个组氨酸(140和330,QC编号)和两个谷氨酸(201和202)的重要作用,而两个谷氨酸(159和248)似乎不起催化作用。ICP-MS分析显示纯化的酶中少于化学计量的锌(0.3:1)。我们得出结论,人类垂体氨酰环化酶和细菌锌氨肽酶共享一个共同的折叠和活性位点残基。然而,与氨肽酶相反,QC的酶活性似乎不需要锌。
Glutaminyl cyclase (QC) forms the pyroglutamyl residue at the amino terminus of numerous secretory peptides and proteins. We previously proposed the mammalian QC has some features in common with zinc aminopeptidases. We now have generated a structural model for human QC based on the aminopeptidase fold (pdb code 1AMP) and mutated the apparent active site residues to assess their role in QC catalysis. The structural model proposed here for human QC, deposited in the protein databank as 1MOI, is supported by a variety of fold prediction programs, by the circular dichroism spectrum, and by the presence of the disulfide. Mutagenesis of the six active site residues present in both 1AMP and QC reveal essential roles for the two histidines (140 and 330, QC numbering) and the two glutamates (201 and 202), while the two aspartates (159 and 248) appear to play no catalytic role. ICP-MS analysis shows less than stoichiometric zinc (0.3:1) in the purified enzyme. We conclude that human pituitary glutaminyl cyclase and bacterial zinc aminopeptidase share a common fold and active site residues. In contrast to the aminopeptidase, however, QC does not appear to require zinc for enzymatic activity.
