Abstract
Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B6, serves as a cofactor for scores of B6-dependent (PLP-dependent) enzymes involved in many cellular processes. One such B6 enzyme is dopa decarboxylase (DDC), which is required for the biosynthesis of key neurotransmitters, e.g., dopamine and serotonin. PLP-dependent enzymes are biosynthesized as apo-B6 enzymes and then converted to the catalytically active holo-B6 enzymes by Schiff base formation between the aldehyde of PLP and an active site lysine of the protein. In eukaryotes, PLP is made available to the B6 enzymes through the activity of the B6-salvage enzymes, pyridoxine 5′-phosphate oxidase (PNPO) and pyridoxal kinase (PLK). To minimize toxicity, the cell keeps the content of free PLP (unbound) very low through dephosphorylation and PLP feedback inhibition of PNPO and PLK. This has led to a proposed mechanism of complex formation between the B6-salvage enzymes and apo-B6 enzymes prior to the transfer of PLP, although such complexes are yet to be characterized at the atomic level, presumably due to their transient nature. A computational study, for the first time, was used to predict a likely PNPO and DDC complex, which suggested contact between the allosteric PLP tight-binding site on PNPO and the active site of DDC. Using isothermal calorimetry and/or surface plasmon resonance, we also show that PNPO binds both apoDDC and holoDDC with dissociation constants of 0.93 ± 0.07 μM and 2.59 ± 0.11 μM, respectively. Finally, in the presence of apoDDC, the tightly bound PLP on PNPO is transferred to apoDDC, resulting in the formation of about 35% holoDDC.
