  • PubMed Abstract: 

    Glucosamine 6-phosphate deaminase (NagB) catalyzes the conversion of d-glucosamine 6-phosphate (GlcN6P) to d-fructose 6-phosphate and ammonia. This reaction is the final step of N-acetylglucosamine utilization and decides its metabolic fate. The enzyme from Streptococcus mutans belongs to the monomeric subfamily of NagB. The crystal structure of the native SmuNagB (NagB from S. mutans) presented here, compared with the structures of its homologs BsuNagB (NagB from Bacillus subtilis) and EcoNagB (NagB from E. coli), implies a conformational change of the 'lid' motif in the activation of the monomeric NagB enzyme. We have also captured the enzyme-substrate intermediate complex of the NagB family at low pH, where a remarkable loss of the catalytic activity of SmuNagB was detected. The enzyme-substrate intermediate presents the initial step of the GlcN6P deaminase reaction. The structural evidence (1) supports the alpha-anomer of GlcN6P as the specific natural substrate of NagB; (2) displays the substrate-binding pocket at the active site; and (3) together with the site-directed mutagenesis studies, demonstrates the ring-opening mechanism of an Asn-His-Glu triad that performs the proton transfer from O1 to O5 to open the sugar ring.
