Crystal Structure Analysis and Characterization of NADP-Dependent Glutamate Dehydrogenase with Alcohols Activity from <i>Geotrichum candidum</i>

To better understand its mechanism of activity towards higher alcohols, we overexpressed and purified new <i>Geotrichum candidum</i> GDH (<i>Gc</i>GDH). The purified <i>Gc</i>GDH (50.27 kDa) was then crystallized, and the crystal diffracted to a resolution of 2.3...

description To better understand its mechanism of activity towards higher alcohols, we overexpressed and purified new <i>Geotrichum candidum</i> GDH (<i>Gc</i>GDH). The purified <i>Gc</i>GDH (50.27 kDa) was then crystallized, and the crystal diffracted to a resolution of 2.3 Å using X-ray diffraction. We found that the <i>Gc</i>GDH crystal structure belonged to space group P212121 and was comprised of two hexamers organized into an asymmetric unit, with each subunit consisting of 452 amino acid residues. The binding sites between higher alcohols or L-glutamic acid and <i>Gc</i>GDH were consistent. The optimal reaction conditions for <i>Gc</i>GDH and hexanol were a pH of 4.0 and temperature of 30 °C, and those for <i>Gc</i>GDH and monosodium glutamate (MSG) were a pH of 8.0 and temperature of 20 °C. The <i>K</i>m values for hexanol and MSG were found to be 74.78 mM and 0.018 mM, respectively. Mutating <i>Gc</i>GDH Lys 113 to either Ala or Gly caused a dramatic reduction in its catalytic efficiency towards both MSG and hexanol, suggesting that Lys 113 is essential to the active site of <i>Gc</i>GDH.
