2PMQ gene cluster (Pelagibaca bermudensis)
Dioxygenase/hydroxylase: Homologues use aromatics Closest liganded homologues: 60% with 3N0Q, unliganded 18% with 1O7N: a naphthalene dioxygenase, cocrystalized with indole smaller active site: indole in 1O7N has lots of steric clashes Template: 1O7N
2PMQ: Docking, a small active site Docked with 4-hydroxy proline Top 5 docking hits
Experimental testing of 2PMQ prediction kcat/Km = 4300 M-1s-1 4-OH Pro betaine kcat/Km = 380 M-1s-1 Pro betaine Genome context was helpful, but structures were essential First amino acid racemase in EN superfamily
Proposed pathway for 4-OH Pro utilization Metabolomics to confirm pathway is in progress
