Substrate specificities

Family GH25 lysozymes otherwise known as Chalaropsis (CH) type of lysozymes (from their initial characterisation from Chalaropsis species of fungus [1]) cleaves the β-1,4-glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) and N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) in the carbohydrate backbone of bacterial peptidoglycan. The characterized lysozymes from this family exhibit both β-1,4-N-acetyl- and β-1,4- N ,6-O-diacetylmuramidase activities and are able to degrade O-acetylated peptidoglycan present in Staphylococcus aureus and other pathogens [2]. The activity of GH25 enzymes appears to fulfil two main biological roles in bacteria. These roles are the re-modelling of peptidoglycan in cellular process such as division and the dissemination of phage progeny toward the end of the phage lytic cycle, which is achieved by lysis of the bacterial cell. For this reason many GH25 proteins are found to be either chromosomal, phage or prophage encoded. The majority of the GH25 family is comprised of bacterial or prokaryotic viral (phage) members. There are however a few eukaryotic representatives, but these are so far restricted to the fungal kingdom. The roles of these fungal enzymes are less clear, many possess signal secretion peptides indicating a likely extracellular location, possibly for the purpose of obtaining or gaining assess to nutrients or even as a selective agent against bacteria.

Kinetics and Mechanism

The lack of activity on chitooligosaccharides and complexity in producing defined synthetic peptidoglycan substrates, has inevitably hampered the determination of kinetic parameters. Structural studies have shown the active-centre is extremely similar to those from GH18, 20, 56, 84 and 85 implying that, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, GH25 enzymes act with net retention of anomeric configuration using a neighboring-group catalytic mechanism common to this “super-family” of enzymes [3].

Catalytic Residues

This super-family has been shown to use an active site DE or DXE sequence motif ( or exceptionally in the case of GH85 a NXD moitif [4, 5] ). This carboxylate pair promotes a double displacement mechanism in which the nucleophile is not enzyme-derived but is provided by the substrate in an intramolecular “neighboring group” attack of the N-acetyl carbonyl group [6]. Thus catalysis occurs via the formation, and subsequent breakdown of a covalent oxazoline intermediate.

Three-dimensional structures

So far four members of this family of enzymes have been structural characterized, that of the Streptomyces coelicolor enzyme “cellosyl” [7], the bacteriophage lysine PlyB [8], and Clp-1lysozyme from a Streptococcus pneumoniae phage [9, 10], whose structure was also obtained in complex with fragments of peptidoglycan analogues 10 and BaGh25c from Bacillus anthracis str. Ames [3]. The GH25 lysozymes, are structurally unrelated to the GH22, GH23, GH24, GH73 and GH108 lysozyme folds and instead these enzymes display a modified α -barrel-like fold that, like the classical “TIM-barrel” is composed of a eight-stranded β-barrel, but which is flanked by just three (as opposed to the normal eight) α-helices [7].There is a prominent, long groove, very likely the substrate binding site, located on the C-terminal face. This groove culminates in a deep hole of a highly negative electrostatic potential forming the catalytic site [11].

Family Firsts

First sterochemistry determination
Has yet to be experimentally determined.
First catalytic nucleophile identification
This remains to be experimentally proven. Inverting mechanisms have been proposed [9], but it is perhaps more likley that the enzyme is retaining and that the nucleophile is not enzyme-derived, but is provided by the substrate in a “neighboring group" participation reaction [3]. This is based upon the considerable active centre structural similarity with other neighboring group enzymes in GH18, 20, 56, 84 and also 85.
First general acid/base residue identification
Has yet to be fully experimentally determined but again structural similarity strongly implicates the second carboxylate in the DXE motif described previously. In the case of the Bacillus anthracis enzyme this is Glu107 [3].
First 3-D structure
The Streptomyces coelicolor enzyme "cellosyl" [7] was the first GH25 structure to be described in 2001.
