Roles of active site residues in LodA, a cysteine tryptophylquinone dependent ε-lysine oxidase.

ABSTRACT: Site-directed mutagenesis identified residues in the substrate channel of LodA that play multiple roles in regulating Km values of substrates, kcat and the extent of biosynthesis of the protein-derived cysteine tryptophylquinone (CTQ) cofactor. Mutations of Cys448 increase Km values for lysine and O2, with the larger effect on Klysine. Tyr211 resides within a mobile loop and is seen in the crystal structure of LodA to form a hydrogen bond with Lys530 that appears to stabilize its position in the channel. Y211F LodA had reduced levels of CTQ but near normal levels of kcat. K530A and K530R variants exhibited diminished levels of CTQ but significantly increased kcat. The Y211F, K530A and K530R mutations each caused large increases in the Km values for lysine and O2. These effects of the mutat
