Abstract
Farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) synthase catalyzes consecutive condensations of isopentenyl diphosphate with allylic substrates to give FPP, C-15 compound, as a final product and does not catalyze a condensation beyond FPP. Recently, it was observed that, in Bacillus stearothermophilus FPP synthase, a replacement of tyrosine with histidine at position 81, which is located on the fifth amino acid before the first aspartate-rich motif, caused the mutated FPP synthase to catalyze geranylgeranyl diphosphate (C-20) synthesis (Ohnuma, S.-i., Nakazawa, T., Hemmi, H., Hallberg, A.-M., Koyama, T., Ogura, K., and Nishino, T. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 10087-10095). Thus, we constructed 20 FPP synthases, each of which has a different amino acid at position 81, and analyzed them. All enzymes except for Y81P can catalyze the condensations of isopentenyl diphosphate. The final products and the product distributions are different from each other. Y81A, Y81G, and Y81S can produce hexaprenyl diphosphate (C-30) as their final product. The final product of Y81C, Y81H, Y81I, Y81L, Y81N, Y81T, and Y81V are geranylfarnesyl diphosphate (C-25), and Y81D, Y81E, Y81F, Y81K, Y81M, Y81Q, and Y81R cannot produce polyprenyl diphosphates more than geranylgeranyl ...Continue Reading
