Proline utilization A from Escherichia coli (EcPutA) is a multifunctional flavoenzyme that oxidizes proline to glutamate through proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) and Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (P5CDH) activities, while also switching roles as a DNA bound transcriptional repressor and a membrane bound catabolic enzyme. This phenomenon, referred to as functional switching, occurs through a redox-mediated mechanism in which flavin reduction triggers a conformational change that increases EcPutA membrane-binding affinity. Structural studies have shown that reduction of the FAD cofactor causes the ribityl moiety to undergo a crankshaft motion indicating that the orientation of the ribityl chain is a key element of PutA functional switching. Here, we test the role of a conserved histidine that bridges the FAD pyrophosphate to the backbone amide of a conserved leucine residue in the PRODH active site. An EcPutA mutant (H487A) was characterized by steady-state and rapid-reaction kinetics, and cell-based reporter gene experiments. The catalytic activity of H487A is severely diminished (> 50-fold) with membrane vesicles as the electron acceptor, and H487A exhibits impaired lipid binding and in vivo transcriptional repressor activity. Rapid-reaction kinetic experiments demonstrate that H487A is 3-fold slower than wild-type EcPutA in a conformational change step following reduction of the FAD cofactor. Furthermore, the reduction potential (Em) of H487A is about 40-mV more positive than wild-type EcPutA and H487A has an attenuated ability to catalyze the reverse PRODH chemical step, i.e. re-oxidation by P5C. In this process, significant red semiquinone forms in contrast to the same reaction with wild-type EcPutA, in which facile 2-electron re-oxidation occurs without forming measurable semiquinone. These results indicate that His487 is critically important for the proline/P5C chemical step, conformational change kinetics, and functional switching in EcPutA.
