While humans lack the biosynthetic pathways formeso-diaminopimelate andl-lysine, they are essential for bacterial survival and are therefore attractive targets for antibiotics. It was recently discovered that members of theChlamydiafamily utilize a rare aminotransferase route of thel-lysine biosynthetic pathway, thus offering a new enzymatic drug target. Here we characterize diaminopimelate aminotransferase fromVerrucomicrobium spinosum(VsDapL), a nonpathogenic model bacterium forChlamydia trachomatis.Complementation experiments verify that theV. spinosum dapLgene encodes a bona fide diaminopimelate aminotransferase, because the gene rescues anEscherichia colistrain that is auxotrophic formeso-diaminopimelate. Kinetic studies show thatVsDapL follows a Michaelis–Menten mechanism, with aKMappof 4.0 mM toward its substratel,l-diaminopimelate. Thekcat(0.46 s–1) and thekcat/KM(115 s–1M–1) are somewhat lower than values for other diaminopimelate aminotransferases. Moreover, whereas other studied DapL orthologs are dimeric, sedimentation velocity experiments demonstrate thatVsDapL exists in a monomer–dimer self-association, with aKD2-1of 7.4 μM. The 2.25 Å resolution crystal structure presents the canonical dimer of chalice-shaped monomers, and small-angle X-ray scattering experiments confirm the dimer in solution. Sequence and structural alignments reveal that active site residues important for activity are conserved inVsDapL, despite the lower activity compared to those of other DapL homologues. Although the dimer interface buries 18% of the total surface area, several loops that contribute to the interface and active site, notably the L1, L2, and L5 loops, are highly mobile, perhaps explaining the unstable dimer and lower catalytic activity. Our kinetic, biophysical, and structural characterization can be used to inform the development of antibiotics.
