Dihydroneopterin aldolase (DHNA) catalyzes the conversion of 7,8-dihydroneopterin (DHNP) to 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin (HP) in the folate biosynthetic pathway. There are four conserved active site residues at the active site, E22, Y54, E74, and K100 inStaphylococcus aureusDHNA (SaDHNA), corresponding to E21, Y53, E73, and K98, respectively, inEscherichia coliDHNA (EcDHNA). The functional roles of the conserved glutamate and lysine residues have been investigated by site-directed mutagenesis in this work. E22 and E74 of SaDHNA and E21, E73, and K98 of EcDHNA were replaced with alanine. K100 of SaDHNA was replaced with alanine and glutamine. The mutant proteins were characterized by equilibrium binding, stopped-flow binding, and steady-state kinetic analyses. For SaDHNA, none of the mutations except E74A caused dramatic changes in the affinities of the enzyme for the substrate or product analogues or the rate constants. TheKdvalues for SaE74A were estimated to be >3000 μM, suggesting that theKdvalues of the mutant are at least 100 times those of the wild-type enzyme. For EcDHNA, the E73A mutation increased theKdvalues for the substrate or product analogues neopterin (MP), monapterin (NP), and 6-hydroxypterin (HPO) by factors of 340, 160, and 5600, respectively, relative to those of the wild-type enzyme. The K98A mutation increased theKdvalues for NP, MP, and HPO by factors of 14, 3.6, and 230, respectively. The E21A mutation increased theKdvalues for NP and HPO by factors of 2.2 and 42, respectively, but decreased theKdvalue for MP by a factor of 3.3. The E22 (E21) and K100 (K98) mutations decreased thekcatvalues by factors of 1.3−2 × 104. The E74 (E73) mutation decreased in thekcatvalues by factors of ∼10. The results suggested that E74 of SaDHNA and E73 of EcDHNA are important for substrate binding, but their roles in catalysis are minor. In contrast, E22 and K100 of SaDHNA are important for catalysis, but their roles in substrate binding are minor. On the other hand, E21 and K98 of EcDHNA are important for both substrate binding and catalysis.
