From the plasmid library made from Sstl and San-digested genomic DNA of Streptomyces fradiae NRRL 2702, four positive clones were selected using an oligodeoxynucleotide probe from the N-terminal amino acid sequence of purified threonine dehydratase. The cloned gene for threonine dehydratase was a 2.0 kilo-base pair DNA fragment. The deduced amino acid sequence of PCR product (PCR245) was matched to that of the N-terminal part of threonine dehydratase from S. fradiae and this showed a high similarity to the threonine dehydratases of other organisms. This indicated that amino acid sequences of threonine dehydratases were highly conserved and the polypeptide product of the PCR245 was likely to be involved in the deamination of threonine.

The effects of amino acids in growth media on the biosynthesis of Serratia marcescens biodegradative threonine dehydratase activity were examined. The enzyme activity was decreased by 44 and 34% by 10 mM isoleucine and valine, respectively, whereas it was increased approximately by 20% by 10 mM threonine. Among several metabolites tested, pyruvate increased the enzyme activity by 60% at 5 mM, but decreased the enzyme activity approximately by 20 to 70% above 20 mM. The enzyme activity was increased by 64% by 5 mM glyoxylate, whereas it decreased the enzyme activity approximately by 40 to 70% above 20 mM glyoxylate. The thiamine, monopyrrole derivative, also increased the enzyme activity by 84% at 50 $\mu $g/ml, but did not affected the enzyme activity above 300 $\mu $g/ml. cAMP increased the enzyme activity by 58% at 0.5 mM, but decreased the enzyme activity by 15% at 2 mM. These data suggested that the biosynthesis of Serratia marcescens biodegradative threonine dehydratase is regulated by concentrations of pyruvate, glyoxylate and cAMP.

최소 배지에 여러 아미노산을 첨가하여 배양시킨 Serratia marcescens ATCC 25419 세포 추출물에서 threonine dehydratase의 비활성을 조사한 결과 이소루신은 1~4mM에서 효소의 비활성을 100~140% 정도 증가시킨 반면 15~30mM에서 25~80% 정도 감소시켰다. 루신은 효소의 비활성을 1~120mM에서 60% 이상 감소시켰다. 한편, 발린은 효소의 비활성을 1~4mM에서 20% 정도, 8~10mM에서 10% 정도 감소시켰으나 20mM에서 효소의 비활성을 원래대로 회복시켰다. 각 2mM 농도의 이소루신과 발린 그리고 이소루신과 루신은 효소의 비활성을 각각 75, 50%씩 증가시킨 반면 세 아미노산을 각각 2과 10mM씩 동시 첨가했을 경우에는 각각 25, 58%씩 감소시켰다. 글리옥실산은 효소의 비활성을 75%, 이마다졸, 피루브산, $\alpha$-아미노부티르산 그리고 AMP는 모두 50%씩, 호모세린, $\alpha$-케토글루타르산, $\alpha$-케토부티르산 및 IPTG를 첨가했을 경우는 모두 25%씩 감소시켰다. cAMP는 효소의 비활성을 1~2mM에서 10~40% 정도 감소시킨 반면 10mM에서 80% 증가시켰다. 이러한 결과들로부터 S. marcescens threonine dehydratase는 E. coli K-12 효소와는 다르게 낮은 농도의 이소루신에 의해 효소의 비활성이 증가되고, 높은 농도의 이소루신 (10~30mM)에 의해서는 감소되는 등 이소루신 생합성 과정에서 조절 역할을 하는 것으로 생각된다.

Serratia marcescens catabolic threonine dehydratase는 streptomycin sulfate treatment, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration, AMP-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography 등의 방법으로 정제하였는데, 최종 단계에서 회수율은 15.5%이었으며 50배 정제되었다. Native 분자량은 native pore gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE) 방법으로는 120,000이었다. SDS-PAGE에 의한 subunit의 분자량은 30,000이었고, 즉 S. marcescens 효소는 4개의 동일한 subunit으로 구성된 homo-tetrameric protein임이 판명되었다. S. marcescens 효소의 L-threonine에 대한 Km값은 AMP가 있는 조건에서 7.3 mM, AMP가 없는 조건에서 92 mM이었다. S. marcescens 효소는 효소 1 mole 당 각각 2 mole의 pyridoxal 5'-phosphate(PLP), 16개의 free-SH group을 가지고 있었다. S. marcescens 효소는 AMP의 존재 하에서 $\alpha$-ketobutyrate, pyruvate, glyoxylate, phosphoenol pyruvate(PEP)에 의해 효소 활성이 억제되었으며, cAMP와 ADP에 의해서는 효소 활성이 증가되었다. 효소학적 성질면에서 S. marcescens 효소는 E. coli 효소보다는 S. typhimurium 효소와 유사하였다. 한편, E. coli 효소는 cAMP에 의하여 효소 활성이 증가되고, S. typhimurium 효소는 ADP에 의해 효소 활성이 증가되는 것과 다르게, S. marcescens 효소는 cAMP와 ADP 모두 효소 활성이 증가되었다. 따라서 이상의 연구 결과들은 세 enteric bacteria의 catabolic threonine dehydratase가 서로 작은 차이점이 있다는 것을 반영하며, 이러한 사실을 규명하기 위해서는 향후 보다 심층적인 연구를 수행하여야 할 것으로 사료된다.

최소 배지에 여러 아미노산과 대사 산물을 첨가하여 배양시킨 Serratia marcescens ATCC 25419 세포추출물에서여 biodegradative threonine dehydratase (BDTD), biosynthetic threonine dehydratase (BSTD)와 acetolactate syntase (ALS)의 비활성도를 조사하였다. S. marcescens BDTD와 ALS는 낮은 농도 (0.5-2 mM)의 cAMP에 의해 촉진적 조절을 받으며, 비교적 낮은 농도의 isoleucine (1-4 mM)에 의해서는 S. marcescens BSTD의 생합성이 증가되고 높은 농도의 isoleucine (10-30 mM)에서는 감소되고 비교적 낮은 농도의 valine (2-4 mM)에 의해서 S. marcescens ALS의 생합성이 증가되는 것으로 보아 S. marcescens ATCC 25419에서 branched chain 아미노산 생합성 과정의 조절 양상은 Escherichia coli K-12와는 달리, isoleucine의 생합성 과정은 BSTD에 의해 조절되고, valine의 생합성 과정은 ALS에 의해 조절되는 것으로 사료된다.

Biodegradative threonine dehydratase was purified to homogeneity from Serratia marcescens ATCC 25419 by streptomycin sulfate treatment, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration chromatography followed by AMP-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was 118,000 by fast protein liquid chromatography using superose 6-HR. The enzyme was determined to be a homotetrameric protein with subunit molecular weights of 30,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was inhibited by ${\alpha}-Keto$ acids and their derivatives such as ${\alpha}-ketobutyrate$, pyruvate, glyoxlyate, and phosphoenol pyruvate, but not by ${\alpha}-aminobutyrate$ and ${\alpha}-hydroxybutyrate$. The inhibition of the enzyme by pyruvate and glyoxylate was observed in the presence of AMP. The inhibitory effect of glyoxylate was decreased at high enzyme concentration, whereas the inhibition by pyruvate was independent of the enzyme concentration. The kinetics of inhibition of the enzyme by pyruvate and glyoxylate revealed a noncompetitive and mixed-type inhibition by the two inhibitors with respect to L-threonine and AMP, respectively.

Biodegradative threonine dehydratase purified from Serratia marcescens ATCC 25419 was inactivated by the arginine specific modification reagent, phenylglyoxal (PGO) and the lysine modification reagent, pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP). The inactivation by PGO was protected by L-threonine and L-serine. The second order rate constant for the inactivation of the enzyme by PGO was calculated to be 136 $M^{-1}min^{-1}$. The reaction order with respect to PGO was 0.83. The inactivation of the enzyme by PGO was reversed upon addition of excess hydroxylamine. The inactivation of the enzyme by PLP was protected by L-threonine, L-serine, and a-aminobutyrate. The second order rate constant for the inactivation of the enzyme by PLP was 157 $M^{-1}min^{-1}$ and the order of reaction with respect to PLP was 1.0. The inactivation of the enzyme by PLP was reversed upon addition of excess acetic anhydride. Other chemical modification reagents such as N-ethylmaleimide, 5,5'-dithiobis (2-nitrobenzoate), iodoacetamide, sodium azide, phenylmethyl sulfonylfluoride and diethylpyrocarbonate had no effect on the enzyme activity. These results suggest that essential arginine and lysine residues may be located at or near the active site.

Dehydroquinate dehydratase (DHQD) catalyzes the conversion of 3-dehydroquinic acid (DHQ) into 3-dehydroshikimic acid in the mid stage of the shikimate pathway, which is essential for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids and folates. Here, we report two the crystal structures of type II DHQD (CgDHQD) derived from Corynebacterium glutamicum, which is a widely used industrial platform organism. We determined the structures for CgDHQD^WT with the citrate at a resolution of 1.80Å and CgDHQD^R19A with DHQ complexed forms at a resolution of 2.00 Å, respectively. The enzyme forms a homododecamer consisting of four trimers with three interfacial active sites. We identified the DHQ-binding site of CgDHQD and observed an unusual binding mode of citrate inhibitor in the site with a half-opened lid loop. A structural comparison of CgDHQD with a homolog derived from Streptomyces coelicolor revealed differences in the terminal regions, lid loop, and active site. Particularly, CgDHQD, including some Corynebacterium species, possesses a distinctive residue P105, which is not conserved in other DHQDs at the position near the 5-hydroxyl group of DHQ. Replacements of P105 with isoleucine and valine, conserved in other DHQDs, caused an approximately 70% decrease in the activity, but replacement of S103 with threonine (CgDHQD^S103T) caused a 10% increase in the activity. Our biochemical studies revealed the importance of key residues and enzyme kinetics for wild type and CgDHQD^S103T, explaining the effect of the variation. This structural and biochemical study provides valuable information for understanding the reaction efficiency that varies due to structural differences caused by the unique sequences of CgDHQD.
