Biochemical and Structural Insights into an Fe(II)/α-Ketoglutarate/O₂-Dependent Dioxygenase, Kdo 3-Hydroxylase (KdoO).

ABSTRACT: During lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis in several pathogens, including Burkholderia and Yersinia, 3-deoxy-d-manno-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Kdo) 3-hydroxylase, otherwise referred to as KdoO, converts Kdo to d-glycero-d-talo-oct-2-ulosonic acid (Ko) in an Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate (α-KG)/O₂-dependent manner. This conversion renders the bacterial outer membrane more stable and resistant to stresses such as an acidic environment. KdoO is a membrane-associated, deoxy-sugar hydroxylase that does not show significant sequence identity with any known enzymes, and its structural information has not been previously reported. Here, we report the biochemical and structural characterization of KdoO, Minf_1012 (Kdo_MI), from Methylacidiphilum infernorum V4. The de novo structure of Kdo
