- 摘要:
- Enoyl isomerases (EIs) and dehydratases (DHs) are critical for diversifying polyketide natural products; however, the underlying mechanism remains controversial. Through a combination of 1H NMR, solvent isotope effect (SIE) analyses, and mutagenesis applied to two bifunctional dehydratase/enoyl isomerases (DH/EIs), a “His-solo” monofunctional EI, and an engineered “Asp-solo” monofunctional EI, we uncovered a unified catalytic mechanism, highlighting the pivotal role of Asp-H2O in tuning the ratio of DH and EI activities. This mechanism not only deciphers the catalytic basis of these enzymes but also provides a comprehensive framework for understanding their evolutionary trajectory from DHs to DH/EIs and ultimately to EIs.
