The enzyme 2-pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylate lactonase (EC 3.1.1.57, LigI) catalyzes the reversible hydrolytic reaction
- 2-oxo-2H-pyran-4,6-dicarboxylate + H2O = (1E)-4-oxobut-1-ene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate
This enzyme belongs to the Amidohydrolase superfamily of enzymes and is a member of Cluster of Orthologous Groups (COG) 3618. The systematic name of this enzyme is 2-oxo-2H-pyran-4,6-dicarboxylate lactonohydrolase. This enzyme is found to play an important role in the metabolism of lignin-derived aromatic compounds in both the syringate degradation pathway[1] and the protocatechuate 4,5-cleavage pathway.[2]
LigI from Sphingomonas is of particular interest as it has been shown to be the first member of the amidohydrolase superfamily to not require a divalent metal cation for catalytic activity.[3]
Mechanism
The mechanism of catalysis of LigI has been determined by crystallography and NMR analysis. More specifically, the hydrolytic water molecule is activated by the transfer of a proton to Asp-248 whereas the carbonyl group of the 2-pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylate (PDC) lactone substrate is activated by hydrogen bonding interactions with His-180, His-31, and His-33.[3]
