MycG is a P450 monooxygenase that catalyzes the sequential hydroxylation and epoxidation of mycinamicin IV (M-IV), the last two steps in the biosynthesis of mycinamicin II, a macrolide antibiotic isolated from Micromonospora griseorubida. The crystal structure of MycG with M-IV bound was previously determined but showed the bound substrate in an orientation that did not rationalize the observed regiochemistry of M-IV hydroxylation. Nuclear magnetic resonance paramagnetic relaxation enhancements provided evidence of an orientation of M-IV in the MycG active site more compatible with the observed chemistry, but substrate-induced changes in the enzyme structure were not characterized. We now describe the use of amide 1 H- 15 N residual dipolar couplings as experimental restraints in solvated "soft annealing" molecular dynamics simulations to generate solution structural ensembles of M-IV-bound MycG. Chemical shift perturbations, hydrogen-deuterium exchange, and 15 N relaxation behavior provide insight into the dynamic and electronic perturbations in the MycG structure in response to M-IV binding. The solution and crystallographic structures are compared, and the possibility that the crystallographic orientation of bound M-IV represents an inhibitory mode is discussed.
