Substrate specificities
The glycosyltransferases in family GT108 were originally identified by bioinformatics analysis using GH130 sequences as a query. This identified a tandem repeat of seven genes on chromosome 10 of Leishmania mexicana and varying numbers of orthologs in other trypanosomatids [1]. A null mutant lacking the entire array of seven genes lost the ability to synthesize 1,2-β-oligomannan (termed mannogen). These enzymes were termed mannosyltransferase/phosphorylases (MTPs) owing to ability to both synthesize mannogen from GDPMan and/or Man-1-P, as well as an ability to catalyze phosphorolysis of mannogen to form Man-1-P. Specifically, the L. mexicana enzymes MPT3, MPT4, MPT6 and MPT7 catalyzed the phosphorolysis of mannogen to give Man-1-P, as well as the reverse reaction to synthesize mannogen by mannosyltransfer from Man-1-P. The ‘’L. Mexicana’’ enzymes MPT1 and MPT2 act as GDP-Man dependent β-1,2-mannosyltransferases, elongating mannogen, and lack detectable phosphorolytic activity.
Kinetics and Mechanism
In the glycoside cleavage reaction this residue acts as a general acid, protonating the glycosidic leaving group via a proton relay through the -1 subsite mannose 3-OH, allowing phosphate to displace the anomeric glycoside leaving group. In the reverse reaction involving mannosyl transfer from Man-1-P (or GDP-Man for MPT1 and 2), this residue acts as a general base, deprotonating the 2-OH of the sugar nucleophile to promote glycosidic bond formation. The proposed mechanism is similar to that for family GH130 β-1,2-mannoside phosphorylases [2]
Catalytic Residues
Asp83 is the catalytic general base in the Leishmania mexicana MPT4 [1]. The GDP-Man transferases MTP1 and MTP2 contain a His residue (His168 in MTP1 and His161 in MTP2) in the active site; at the equivalent position the phosphorolytic MTPs such as MTP4 contain an Arg residue (Arg150) [1].
Three-dimensional structures
The three-dimensional structures of several GT108 proteins have been reported. The Structural Genomics of Pathogenic Protozoa Consortium (SGPP) deposited the first structure of a member of this family as a 'hypothetical protein' from L. major [3]; the function of this protein remains unknown. The structures of several MPTs from L. mexicana have been reported. All proteins have a five-bladed β-propeller fold. Similar folds are predicted for other family members.
Family Firsts
- First catalytic residue identification
- Asp83 in Leishmania mexicana MPT4 and other MPT enzymes [1]. The His/Arg switch distinguishing GDP-Man dependent transferase activity, and phosphorolytic activity was also identified in this study.
- First 3-D structure
- The Leishmania major strain Friedlin protein LMJF_10_1260 was determined by X-ray crystallography [3].
