  • PubMed Abstract: 

    An enzyme's inherent structural plasticity is frequently associated with substrate binding, yet detailed structural characterization of flexible proteins remains challenging. This study employs complementary biophysical methods to characterize the partially unfolded structure of substrate-free AAC(6')-Ii, an N-acetyltransferase of the GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) superfamily implicated in conferring broad-spectrum aminoglycoside resistance on Enterococcus faecium. The X-ray crystal structure of AAC(6')-Ii is analyzed to identify relative motions of the structural elements that constitute the dimeric enzyme. Comparison with the previously elucidated crystal structure of AAC(6')-Ii with acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA) reveals conformational changes that occur upon substrate binding. Our understanding of the enzyme's structural plasticity is further refined with small-angle X-ray scattering and circular dichroism analyses, which together reveal how flexible structural elements impact dimerization and substrate binding. These results clarify the extent of unfolding that AAC(6')-Ii undergoes in the absence of AcCoA and provide a structural connection to previously observed allosteric cooperativity of this enzyme.
