The human intestines are colonized by trillions of microbes, comprising the gut microbiota, which produce diverse small molecule metabolites and modify host metabolites, such as bile acids, that regulate host physiology. Biosynthesized in the liver, bile acids are conjugated with glycine or taurine and secreted into the intestines, where gut microbial bile salt hydrolases (BSHs) deconjugate the amino acid to produce unconjugated bile acids that serve as precursors for secondary bile acid metabolites. Among these include a recently discovered class of microbially conjugated bile acids (MCBAs), wherein alternative amino acids are conjugated onto bile acids. To elucidate the metabolic potential of MCBAs, we performed detailed kinetic studies to investigate the preference of BSHs for host-conjugated bile acids and MCBAs. We identified a BSH that exhibits positive cooperativity uniquely for MCBAs containing an aromatic side chain. Further molecular modeling and phylogenetic analyses indicated that the BSH preference for aromatic MCBAs is due to a substrate-specific cation–π interaction and is predicted to be widespread among human gut microbial BSHs.
