Sulfur is an essential nutrient that can be converted into utilizable metabolic forms to produce sulfur-containing metabolites in plant. Adenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (APS) reductase (APR) plays a vital role in catalyzing the reduction of activated sulfate to sulfite, which requires glutathione. Previous studies have shown that the C-terminal domain of APR acts as a glutathione-dependent reductase. The crystal structure of the C-terminal redox domain of Arabidopsis APR1 (AtAPR1) shows a conserved α/β thioredoxin fold, but not a glutaredoxin fold. Further biochemical studies of the redox domain from AtAPR1 provided evidence to support the structural observation. Collectively, our results provide structural and biochemical information to explain how the thioredoxin fold exerts the glutaredoxin function in APR.

The Common

VqsR is a quorum-sensing (QS) transcriptional regulator which controls QS systems (las,rhlandpqs) by directly downregulating the expression ofqscRinPseudomonas aeruginosa. As a member of the LuxR family of proteins, VqsR shares the common motif of a helix–turn–helix (HTH)-type DNA-binding domain at the C-terminus, while the function of its N-terminal domain remains obscure. Here, the crystal structure of the N-terminal domain of VqsR (VqsR-N; residues 1–193) was determined at a resolution of 2.1 Å. The structure is folded into a regular α–β–α sandwich topology, which is similar to the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of the LuxR-type QS receptors. Although their sequence similarity is very low, structural comparison reveals that VqsR-N has a conserved enclosed cavity which could recognize acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs) as in other LuxR-type AHL receptors. The structure suggests that VqsR could be a potential AHL receptor.

AbstractXylan and cellulose are the two major constituents in numerous types of lignocellulosic biomass, representing a promising resource for biofuels and other biobased industries. The efficient degradation of lignocellulose requires the synergistic actions of cellulase and xylanase. Thus, bifunctional enzyme incorporated xylanase/cellulase activity has attracted considerable attention since it has great cost savings potential. Recently, a novel GH10 family enzyme XynA identified from Bacillus sp. is found to degrade both cellulose and xylan. To understand its molecular catalytic mechanism, here we first solve the crystal structure of XynA at 2.3 Å. XynA is characterized with a classic (α/β)8 TIM-barrel fold (GH10 domain) flanked by the flexible N-terminal domain and C-terminal domain. Circular dichroism, protein thermal shift and enzyme activity assays reveal that conserved residues Glu182 and Glu280 are both important for catalytic activities of XynA, which is verified by the crystal structure of XynA with E182A/E280A double mutant. Molecular docking studies of XynA with xylohexaose and cellohexaose as well as site-directed mutagenesis and enzyme activity assay demonstrat that Gln250 and His252 are indispensible to cellulase and bifunctional activity, separately. These results elucidate the structural and biochemical features of XynA, providing clues for further modification of XynA for industrial application.
