Imidazoleglycerol-phosphate dehydratase (IGPD) catalyzes the Mn(II)-dependent dehydration of imidazoleglycerol phosphate (IGP) to 3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)-2-oxopropyl dihydrogen phosphate during biosynthesis of histidine. As part of a program of herbicide design, we have determined a series of high-resolution crystal structures of an inactive mutant of IGPD2 from Arabidopsis thaliana in complex with IGP. The structures represent snapshots of the enzyme trapped at different stages of the catalytic cycle and show how substrate binding triggers a switch in the coordination state of an active site Mn(II) between six- and five-coordinate species. This switch is critical to prime the active site for catalysis, by facilitating the formation of a high-energy imidazolate intermediate. This work not only provides evidence for the molecular processes that dominate catalysis in IGPD, but also describes how the manipulation of metal coordination can be linked to discrete steps in catalysis, demonstrating one way that metalloenzymes exploit the unique properties of metal ions to diversify their chemistry. IGPD forms open and closed complexes with IGP bound in two distinct conformations Mn(II) controls catalysis by switching between 6- and 5-coordination states A ligand-depleted 5-coordinate Mn(II) aids formation of the imidazolate intermediate Enzyme and substrate conformational changes are required for product formation Bisson et al. determined structures that describe the reaction mechanism of IGPD, showing how the enzyme harnesses substrate binding energy to generate a ligand-depleted Mn(II) at the catalytic center. Conformational changes in the enzyme-substrate complex and switches in coordination chemistry control successive steps in catalysis.
