ABSTRACT An O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase (OASS) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Aeropyrum pernix K1, which shares the pyridoxal 5′-phosphate binding motif with both OASS and cystathionine β-synthase (CBS), was cloned and expressed by using Escherichia coli Rosetta(DE3). The purified protein was a dimer and contained pyridoxal 5′-phosphate. It was shown to be an enzyme with CBS activity as well as OASS activity in vitro. The enzyme retained 90% of its activity after a 6-h incubation at 100°C. In the O-acetyl-l-serine sulfhydrylation reaction, it had a pH optimum of 6.7, apparent Km values for O-acetyl-l-serine and sulfide of 28 and below 0.2 mM, respectively, and a rate constant of 202 s−1. In the l-cystathionine synthetic reaction, it showed a broad pH optimum in the range of 8.1 to 8.8, apparent Km values for l-serine and l-homocysteine of 8 and 0.51 mM, respectively, and a rate constant of 0.7 s−1. A. pernix OASS has a high activity in the l-cysteine desulfurization reaction, which produces sulfide and S-(2,3-hydroxy-4-thiobutyl)-l-cysteine from l-cysteine and dithiothreitol.

Abstract The amino acid sequence of the OCC_10945 gene product from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus litoralis DSM5473, originally annotated as γ-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, is highly similar to that of the uncharacterized pyridoxal 5ʹ-phosphate (PLP)-dependent amino acid racemase from Pyrococcus horikoshii. The OCC_10945 enzyme was successfully overexpressed in Escherichia coli by co-expression with a chaperone protein. The purified enzyme demonstrated PLP-dependent amino acid racemase activity primarily toward Met and Leu. Although PLP contributed to enzyme stability, it only loosely bound to this enzyme. Enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by several metal ions, including Co2+ and Zn2+, and non-substrate amino acids such as l-Arg and l-Lys. These results suggest that the underlying PLP-binding and substrate recognition mechanisms in this enzyme are significantly different from those of the other archaeal and bacterial amino acid racemases. This is the first description of a novel PLP-dependent amino acid racemase with moderate substrate specificity in hyperthermophilic archaea.
