We have recently been successful in cloning a gene cluster necessary for the biosynthesis ofd‐cycloserine (d‐CS) fromd‐CS‐producingStreptomyces lavendulaeATCC11924. AlthoughdcsD, one of the ORFs located on the gene cluster, encodes a protein homologous toO‐acetylserine sulfhydrylase that synthesizesl‐cysteine usingO‐acetyl‐l‐serine together with sulfide, it functions to formO‐ureido‐l‐serine as ad‐CS biosynthetic intermediate, usingO‐acetyl‐l‐serine together with hydroxyurea (HU). In the present study, using crystallographic and mutational studies, three amino acid residues in DcsD that are important for the substrate preference toward HU were determined. We showed that two of the three residues are important for the binding of HU into the substrate‐binding pocket. The other residue contributes to the formation of a loose hydrogen‐bond network during the catalytic reaction. Information regarding the amino acid residues will be very useful in the design of a new catalyst for synthesizing the β‐substituted‐l‐alanine derivatives.DatabaseThe atomic coordinates and structure factors of wild‐type DcsD andl‐OUS‐bound K43A mutant of DcsD have been deposited in the Protein Data Bank under accession codes 3X43 and 3X44, respectively.
